Holiday Village Fuerteventura Origo Mare

Nice family resort near the town of Lajares to the north of the island, very friendly staff and nice villa type accommodation, pool very safe for kids. Great beaches only 15 - 20 mins away with clear blue water.

This was our second visit to this resort. We enjoy the calm, picturesque region as well as the facilities at the resort (although the swimming pools could be a bit warmer). A very pleasant holiday for all the family!

This was my third visit here on a family visit over Christmas.I was here for Christmas 2 years ago and the place has gone downhill. No money spent on upkeep of villas, pool, roads, etc.Main complaint is the rudeness of the staff, from reception to restaurant and bars they could not be any more rude if they tried.I was on a half board package (avoid - food is cold, tasteless and repetitive), without drinks included. I was almost rugby tackled on the way in to the restaurant on a few occasions to extract €3 per person from us for drinks (including water - expect an instant abusive and embarrassing confrontation at your dinner table if you dared to enjoy a glass of water without giving them €3 for it).Breakfast is the only good meal of the day.The villas are very basic, in spite of the fact I paid approx €200 extra for 7 nights for a Superior Villa - falling apart.The entire resort has a strong smell of sewage also.However, I will finish by reiterating my main gripe with the resort - the STAFF - highly unhelpful and rude (with the notable exception of a chap called Roberto, at reception - friendly and helpful).Entertainment staff are also quite friendly.

Of course you can always complain about details such as remote location, or whether the food at the buffet should have been different... But overall, our 10 days in Origo Mare were filled with fun, laughs, good vibes, GREAT professional teams, and I can only recommend it for any family. The island is full of treasures and great places to visit. Corralejo un particular near the sea is full of great locations for an evening out of the resort and only 20min away. Great surfing spots too! Never a disappointment in the whole 10 days.

Spent 2 weeks in Origo Mare and I have to say it was one of the best holidays my family and I have ever had. I travelled with my husband and 4 kids aged between 5 and 11. Having read some negative reviews I was nervous but there was no need to be.We hired a car online beforehand and went self catering. We arrived about 9pm in the evening and had a very easy check in. Had pizza in the sports bar which was very nice.The villas are amazing, they have everything you could possibly need for self catering. There are shutters on all the windows and air conditioning. The cleaning lady came every single day and some days I told her we were ok. The bed linen was changed twice during our stay which was sufficient. Fresh towels and toiletries every day. There are a lot of vacant villas but these are not owned by the hotel, all the villas belonging to the hotel have beautiful flowers and plants and are always being maintained by gardeners.The water park was great for the kids they especially loved the climbing wall and all the slides and enjoyed the slushies at the poolside bar. The oasis pools were also lovely for a quieter swim! The entertainers were fantastic, my kids attended the kids club a few times when there were activities on that interested them, my 11 year old son absolutely loved the graffiti days and Bryan was brilliant with them. The professional make up day was also a huge hit for my daughter who had a professional photo shoot done also! The night time entertainment was excellent, many times we planned on getting an early night but always ended up staying for the shows, the energy and enthusiasm the entertainment team have is fantastic especially Enzo! The bar can be a bit crowded at times but you will always get a seat eventually, the main problem is people keeping seats for their kids who never sit on them anyway! The bar can be busy at times but wasn’t an issue, the bar staff are very friendly and do a great job.The adult pool is beautiful, such a nice relaxing setting, got there a few times in the morning during kids club.There are plenty things to do about the place, mini golf at a charge of €5 and go carts and bicycles for hire. The supermarket is handy if you are stuck but we did our shopping in Corralejo. There are photographers onsite that take pictures of your kids playing in the pool and kids club and also family pictures if requested, Rosabella was lovely and we have some fabulous memories of our holidays thanks to her. Will def go back!
