We were at the oasis tamatindo apts near byyours in june they were fab and are similar to where you are going. We love feurteventura the water park is a good day out ,it is a bit of a walk to the centre but you can get a taxi back up.Definatly go to the dunes either by bus or taxi they are great.:)

We were there in August for a week in Corralejo and really enjoyed it. As mentioned, definately visit the dunes. The sea was lovely. It was our first trip to the Canaries and the scenary was nothing we've ever seen.

We went to Fuerteventura for whitsun week in 2005 and stayed at the Oasis Village in Correlejo, as other posters have said the dunes are a must.

and well, we must have liked it because we also go back in August 2008!

We have been to Fuerteventura several times, kids keep going on at me to take them back. We stayed at Caleta De Fuste, and had a fantastic time. If you are self catering then the best place to go for shopping is the Dino Mart in Puerto Del Rosario, it is a lot cheaper than the ones in the tourist area. The clothing shops here are good too.

We were in Caleta in November 06 and got money for xmas so went back 8 weeks later

Sorry to jump on your post, but we were thinking of going in February, can anyone recommend a good place and does anyone know what the weather will be like??

We stayed in February this year and had fantastic weather in Caleta de Fuste. We hired a car and noticed that it was warmer in the south of the Island but not so many English voices

Just re-read my post, and it looks as if I am returning to the Oasis Village, but I'm not just to Correlejo, this time we are staying in the Atlantis Fuerteventura Resort.

Not adding anything to the thread, but we went to Fuerteventura for our weeks honeymoon some 18 years ago and I can't believe how much development there is now (or rather I can but it saddens me a little).

When we were there we had a choice of two hotels which were about 400 metres from each other and that was it, and if you walked for 5 minutes you had the entire beach to yourself. Other than a mini supermarket out back there were no shops either.

I'm obviously getting old !
