When we arrived to the apartments, they looked nice, good size with small kitchenette but we used it like twice during one week. There is swimming pool outside but water in it was really freezing, aparently they are not warming up this water during winter, but that's kind of stupid because i don't see the point of heating it up during summer,

Location is really good, with some shops under the apartments, and just minutes walk to main bars and pubs, but overall this place is a little bit boring. For Gay people there is only one bar in whole Island it's called Bubbles and it's located on the lower level of the shopping and bar centre.

There is as well walking distance Aqua Park which is closed for winter again.

Stayed here with my sister and was pleased when we checked in as it was every bit as bright, clean and fresh looking as it appeared in the brochure. The accomodation was basic but comfortable and perfectly adequate with the exception of the kitchen facilities which were below average, no cleaning materials, basic 2 ring hob for cooking etc but we could live with that. The pool area is lovely but absolutely freezing. We didn't eat in the restaurant or drink in the main bar but the pool side bar was lovely during the day for snacks and drinks while sunbathing. There was a good mixture of families, singles and couples of all nationalities, the rooms were cleaned every day which was fantastic and the staff were pleasant and amenable. One point to note was the cleaning staff had a disturbing habit of leaving the apartments unlocked after they had been in to clean which we had to bring to the attention of management. The apartments themselves are in an ideal location in the main resort area only a couple of minutes walk from the beach and main shopping area. There was no air conditioning however which became a problem when we had to leave the window shutters open for some air which made the room quite noisy as it was backing onto the main street.

I didn't have a problem with the Brisamar, except that the pool was so so cold and almost never used by any of the guests - just the resort itself - it was the most boring place on earth. We weren't looking for a mad girly holiday or anything, just a nice break in somewhere with a bit of charm and where the night life was there if we wanted it. Unless you're here with your lover for a luxurious break in one of the top beach side hotels, then book somewhere else, Corralejo has absolutely no character whatsoever.

We stayed for a week in the Brisamar apartments. The 1-bedroom apartment was well laid out with twin beds in the bedroom, a good-sized wardrobe and a safety deposit box (chargeable). There was a third bed in the living room, comfortable seats and adining table. The apartment was basic enough with no grill or oven, just a two ring electric hob, a good-sized fridge and a electric kettle. There was enough cutlery and crockery for three people but was no tea towel or no brush to wash anything with. There was no air-conditioning. The maid came in 5 times during the week, cleaned the floor, got rid of the rubbish, made the beds, and cleaned the bathroom. The apartment was very clean and quite big, with a balcony which had a pool view.

There is a large supermarket, souvenir shop, a chemist and 24h doctor underneath the apartments (main street side) which is very handy. The hotel bar is really cheap and pleasant to drink in. There is a restaurant underneath the Brisamar but the food was pretty non-descript, we only ate there once. The pool area is nice and I must say looks much better than in the photos. The pool was pretty cold as other reviews have mentioned and it has a very nice fountain in it. There’s a pool bar but it didn’t seem to open much. There are pool games arranged regularly during the day for both children and adults - especially singing and dancing. There’s also a kid’s club during the day.

The best thing about this place is the location! It's situated right in the main street about 2 mins walk from the main resort area and only 5/10mins walk to the beach. There are lots of supermarkets, shops, bars and restaurants nearby but we had no noise in the apt. It’s still a quiet place if you like peace and quiet. You’ll not need a taxi at all unless you choose to take one to go to the dunes just outside Corrajero.

Overall it was a fab holiday and I would recommend the hotel for all the ages and kinds of people. If we go back to Fuerteventura, we would only stay in Brisamar, it’s a fab place to stay being excellent value for money!

Literally just back from a week in Fuerteventura, staying in these apartments. There were 5 of us altogether, between 2 apartments. The apartments themselves were basic enough, no grill or oven, just a two ring hob. Enough cutlery and crockery for three of us. No tea towel, no brush to wash anything with so we had to buy a sponge. The maid came in 5 times during the week, cleaned the floor, got rid of the rubbish, made the beds, and cleaned the bathroom. Supermarket is right beside the complex which was handy. Mosquitos were a problem, we were bitten alive over a couple of nights which was seriously unpleasant, and meant we couldn't sleep properly. Also there was no air-conditioning. Which during the first couple of nights was a serious problem. The floor in the kitchen/sitting area was in bits, tiles were badly chipped. Overall result was that it was all a bit run down looking.

The pool was pretty cold as other reviews have mentioned. And salty, we couldn't work out whether it was seawater or what, it was certainly as cold as seawater. Still once you were in it was nice enough. We did have to get up early enough, say around 9am, to throw our towels on the loungers (although there was a sign saying that loungers weren't to be reserved like that which everyone ignored).

There was a restaurant in the Brisamar but the food was pretty non-descript, we only ate there once. There was a bar near the pool which I think catered to people who were there all inclusive. We just got a few drinks from it over the week. They could do with using that area for a proper lunch, it would be nice to be able to eat overlooking the pool area.

Corralejo itself was a bit depressing, nothing much going on. We were lucky with the weather, it was stunning every day except Friday which was very dull and considering we couldn't sunbathe we walked around the town a bit but it wasn't very inspiring. One place I have to recommend for a great time, and a bit of decent music (i.e. not kareoke bars etc.) is Rock Island which is just off the main street up the road from Mango. They have regular live music sessions which were brilliant. Also there was a cocktail bar place down past Music Square that was really relaxing which we loved - also a restaurant called Los Pepes I think, and a restaurant across from Los Pepes, the name of which I can't remember - you have to book in both, they are very popular, but popular for a good reason.

One last word - the activities around the swimming pool area. There are pool games arranged regularly during the day for both children and adults - especially singing and dancing. Most of the people staying in the Brisamar for the week we were there were German or at least spoke german. Not being German, you do feel a bit out of place. Obviously we could have got involved but it wasn't the sort of thing we'd have been into.

In conclusion - nice enough apartments if a bit tatty; race to get loungers in the morning was a pain; resort itself not great; probably wouldn't go back myself, but if you're just there to sit, sunbathe and read your book, you could do worse.
