Oceandreams Marina & Spa Villages

Staff very helpful if you need them. Surprisingly quiet and peaceful location but still very close to the marina. Short walk to shops to stock up. I have recommended to several people since our visit.

We have been visitors to Ocean Dreams since 2013, often staying twice a year and sadly this will probably be our last. We always book 1 yr in advance to get Villa 19 which is classed as Deluxe - mainly for the amazing views. Outside it is in real need of repair and redecoration. . The pool main. unit top was loose (blew off across patio) and the metal top was sharp. Pool edge was filthy in one corner and outdoor furniture is grubby and basic. Inside the decor is bland , the plant, side window curtain and murals which gave it some charm had all disappeared and the sofa (fairly new) looks tired. Bath needs repair with rust along the edge. I had been assured of a late checkout (original flight was 9pm) but when I emailed after arrival to confirm I had a very basic reply saying that this wouldn’t be possible and due to additional Covid cleaning check out was at 11am! I understand that these are very unusual times but I really expected better customer service after being guests for so long. There was also no cleaning for 2 weeks stay to ‘protect’ us.! In summary the villa is in urgent need of repair and redecoration to be classed as Deluxe - we stayed at a villa nearby for Xmas which was beautifully decorated, equipped and maintained (and much cheaper!) . Finally if you book an airport taxi via Reception ensure you have the exact fare - our driver constantly played drums on the steering wheel, tail-gated then apparently had absolutely no change and no payment by card - reeaaaaly?

Spent several days at ocean dreams in Playa Blanca Lanzarote during the Coronavirus recently and received no active assistance or information about the current situation in Lanzarote . No communication whatsoever from the reception staff. Other people who were also there confirmed my views. The cleaning and pool staff were brilliant. I’ve been to several villas over a 15 year period and this is by far the worst. To make it even worse the pool wasn’t heated and could not be used. Very basic accommodation. Very disappointing. If anything the only good point was the proximity of the villas to the marina Management poor.
