Alright, buckle up buttercups, because I'm about to unleash the raw, unfiltered truth on Casa Enjoy in Corralejo, Fuerteventura. Forget those picture-perfect brochures; this is the real deal, warts and all. Because let's be honest, a perfect vacation? That's about as realistic as finding a unicorn riding a flamingo.
First Impression - The Promise of Paradise (and a Slight Panic)
Pulling up to Casa Enjoy, my jaw legitimately dropped. The photos don't lie; the place is gorgeous! (Okay, maybe the landscaping's a little less lush than the website suggests, but hey, I wasn't planning on eating the foliage.) The exterior design screams "modern luxury," and the thought of spending a week here, chilling by the pool, definitely piqued my interest. Now, initially I was a little worried because I do have some mobility issues, and accessibility is always a concern.
Accessibility - Cracking the Code
Okay, so this is where things get interesting. Casa Enjoy claims accessibility, and they're not entirely wrong. There's an elevator, which is HUGE for navigating the villa. The doors are wide enough for a wheelchair, and there are ramps where needed. My own experience? Let's just say it's not fully a 100% accessible villa but mostly and I could access most parts of the villa without an issue. However, there are things like the pool edge or entrance to the spa which could be improved. Be prepared for some minor steps! Just double-check those details with the management before booking, especially if full accessibility is paramount. It's almost accessible, and a few small tweaks could make it truly amazing. However, as it is it could be a bit challenging for an entirely full-time wheelchair user.
Rooms & Relaxation: My Inner Couch Potato Found Bliss
My room? Oh, it was fantastic – spacious, clean, and gloriously air-conditioned. (Thank the travel gods for air conditioning!) The bed was mega-comfortable, and the blackout curtains were a lifesaver, because, let's be real, I'm not a morning person. The bathroom was modern, and those fluffy bathrobes? Pure heaven. You could also turn the lights off to go and sleep in the bathroom where you could actually feel the silence. I loved it and spend a few nights there.
There also were:
- Available in all rooms: Additional toilet, Air conditioning, Alarm clock, Bathrobes, Bathroom phone, Bathtub, Blackout curtains, Carpeting, Closet, Coffee/tea maker, Complimentary tea, Daily housekeeping, Desk, Extra long bed, Free bottled water, Hair dryer, High floor, In-room safe box, Interconnecting room(s) available, Internet access – LAN, Internet access – wireless, Ironing facilities, Laptop workspace, Linens, Mini bar, Mirror, Non-smoking, On-demand movies, Private bathroom, Reading light, Refrigerator, Safety/security feature, Satellite/cable channels, Scale, Seating area, Separate shower/bathtub, Shower, Slippers, Smoke detector, Socket near the bed, Sofa, Soundproofing, Telephone, Toiletries, Towels, Umbrella, Visual alarm, Wake-up service, Wi-Fi [free], Window that opens. - Everything was so perfect it felt like a dream.
Now, let's talk relaxation. The pool with the view? Absolutely Instagrammable. I spent hours just floating around, pretending to contemplate the meaning of life (mostly I was just daydreaming about my next meal). The spa… Sigh. The sauna was hot, the steam room steamy, and the massage? Well, let's just say I almost forgot my name (in a good way!).
- Ways to Relax: The following were available: Body scrub, Body wrap, Fitness center, Foot bath, Gym/fitness, Massage, Pool with view, Sauna, Spa, Spa/sauna, Steamroom, Swimming pool, Swimming pool [outdoor] – Truly a spa experience!
Food Adventures: From Asian Cuisine to Breakfast Buffets (and a Few Hiccups)
Okay, this is where things get a little… unpredictable. The restaurant situation is a mixed bag. They got Asian cuisine in restaurant which was surprisingly great! I mean, who expects authentic Pad Thai in Fuerteventura? but hey, it was delicious! The buffet breakfast on the other hand… well, let’s just say it’s more of a “quantity over quality” situation. You’ll find enough to eat, but don't expect a gourmet experience.
- Dining, drinking, and snacking includes: A la carte in restaurant, Alternative meal arrangement, Asian breakfast, Asian cuisine in restaurant, Bar, Bottle of water, Breakfast [buffet], Breakfast service, Buffet in restaurant, Coffee/tea in restaurant, Coffee shop, Desserts in restaurant, Happy hour, International cuisine in restaurant, Poolside bar, Restaurants, Room service [24-hour], Salad in restaurant, Snack bar, Soup in restaurant, Vegetarian restaurant, Western breakfast, Western cuisine in restaurant - A lot of options, but with varied results.
I will also say the staff was friendly and eager to help, but sometimes things seemed a bit understaffed, which led to some delays. Overall, the food situation wasn't a deal-breaker, but definitely something to be aware of.
- Cleanliness and Safety: Casa Enjoy takes it seriously with: Anti-viral cleaning products, Breakfast in room, Breakfast takeaway service, Cashless payment service, Daily disinfection in common areas, Doctor/nurse on call, First aid kit, Hand sanitizer, Hot water linen and laundry washing, Hygiene certification, Individually-wrapped food options, Physical distancing of at least 1 meter, Professional-grade sanitizing services, Room sanitization opt-out available, Rooms sanitized between stays, Safe dining setup, Sanitized kitchen and tableware items, Shared stationery removed, Staff trained in safety protocol, Sterilizing equipment - You can feel safe here!
Services & Conveniences: The Little Things Matter (Sometimes)
The villa offers a decent range of services – from the concierge to the daily housekeeping, which, let me tell you, is a godsend! But it wasn't perfect, because once there was one time I wanted to get some shopping supplies and the concierge was nowhere to be seen…

I didn't bring any kids, but I did see a ton of families. Kids facilities are available, including babysitting service. Overall, seemed like a great place for families.
- For the kids: Babysitting service, Family/child friendly, Kids facilities, Kids meal.
The Quirks & the Imperfections - The Human Element
No stay is perfect, and Casa Enjoy is no exception. There was slight difficulty with some of the TV channels, and sometimes the service in the restaurant could be a little slow. But honestly? These little imperfections added to the charm. They made me feel like I was experiencing something real, not just a perfectly curated Instagram feed.

Final Verdict: Would I Return? Absolutely! (With a Few Caveats)

Tuscaloosa's BEST Hotel? IHG Cottondale Review! (Holiday Inn Express Surprise!)Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because we're not just planning a trip to Casa Enjoy in Corralejo, Fuerteventura. We're crafting a life experience, or at least, a slightly unhinged version of one. And I'm bringing the baggage. So, let's get this hot mess show on the road!
Casa Enjoy, Corralejo: Operation "Get Tan, Maybe Find Myself (Probably Not)" - Officially Go-Time!
(Okay, fine, unofficially go-time, because I haven't even packed yet. Ugh.)
Day 1: Arrival - Sunshine, Sand, and the Inevitable Meltdown
- Morning (Technically, I hope): The dreaded flight! I'm already picturing the crying baby, the guy clipping his nails, and the turbulence that makes me silently offer up prayers. Emphasis silently, because public displays of existential dread are frowned upon. My mantra: Breathe in airplane air, breathe out existential despair.
- Afternoon: LANDING! Hopefully, my luggage arrives with me, and the Canary Islands actually look like the postcard pictures. Taxi to Casa Enjoy. I’ve chosen it because… well, it looked cute online. This is my level of planning. Praying it's not a total dive, or, you know, haunted.
- Late Afternoon/Evening: Unpack? Maybe. More likely, sprawled on the bed, overwhelmed by the sheer newness of everything. First priority: find the nearest supermarket/corner store and acquire snacks. Specifically: local chorizo, weird cheesy snacks, and something sugary to compensate for the trauma of air travel. Then, wander the streets of Corralejo - get lost, embrace the chaos, and try not to be that tourist who walks into traffic gawking at the gelato shop. Dinner somewhere… authentic. I’m thinking tapas and trying to understand the Spanish menu. Wish me luck, and pray I don’t accidentally order a plate of eyeballs.
- Anecdote Teaser: Remember that time I tried to order "a beer?" Turns out, in that particular bar, they have about ten different types of beer. The waiter just stared at me, and I ended up pointing blindly at one. It was disgusting. I’ll try again. Maybe this time…sigh
- Evening: Sunset on the beach? (Cue dramatic music.) A stroll along the shore, letting the waves crash away my anxieties. Or, possibly, a massive panic attack about impending sea creatures. Let's see how it goes. The goal: NOT fall over immediately.
Day 2: Dunes, Dolphins (Maybe), and Existential Beach Bumming
- Morning: The Dunas de Corralejo! Those iconic sand dunes. I'm envisioning myself as a glamorous desert nomad, effortlessly gliding across the golden sands. Reality? Probably sweating, sand in every crevice, and looking like a bloated beige sausage. But hey, pictures!
- Afternoon: Boat trip (fingers crossed for no seasickness). The dream: dolphins! The reality: sunburned, sea-legs struggling, and desperately looking for a bathroom. If we do see dolphins, I'll cry. Happy/relieved tears. If not, I'll blame the dolphins for snubbing me.
- Late Afternoon/Evening: Back to Casa Enjoy for a power nap because, you know, jet lag. Then, try a new restaurant near the harbor. I heard one serving freshly caught seafood. Or the local cat might be the menu. I would not know… But I would eat it.
- Evening: Stargazing on the beach. Or, more realistically, staring at the sky and wondering if aliens are judging my outfit. A quiet drink, maybe find a local bar that has live music
Day 3: Volcanoes, Views, and the Deepest Regret (at least that week)
- Morning: Volcano hike! I saw pictures of that one online, and the views are supposed to be insane. Challenge: Avoid looking like a sweaty, red-faced mess in the photos. Also, don't fall off a cliff. Big goals, I know.
- Afternoon: Exploration. Explore the island, drive/bus to a smaller town, or just enjoy the peace and quiet.
- Late Afternoon/Evening: Regret. That's right, I have a whole section dedicated to it. You know that feeling when you get home from a trip, and suddenly you realize you missed something? "Ah, yes, I should have done X!". It's going to happen. Plan for it. Embrace it. This is what makes you feel alive. Maybe try meditation!
- Evening: Dinner AND drink, and I will go out on the town and enjoy the night.
Day 4: The Lost Art of Doing Nothing. My favorite.
- Morning: SLEEP IN! Seriously, just… sleep. After all the exhausting adventures, I deserved a rest.
- Afternoon: Beaches. Spend the afternoon enjoying the sunshine, sipping on cocktails and reading my very complicated book (that I'll never finish).
- Late Afternoon/Evening: The biggest challenge to finish the trip! That is my mind, my feelings, and how I have learned to find peace and to enjoy life. That's right. This is the end.
Day 5: Departure - Goodbye, Fuerteventura (!?!) and Hello, Reality (Ugh.)
- Morning: Check-out of Casa Enjoy. Last-minute souvenir shopping (because I need a fridge magnet that says "I survived Fuerteventura!"). I will be regretting things I haven’t done and will definitely be crying.
- Afternoon: Travel to the airport. Reminisce. "What did I do?"
- Late Afternoon/Evening: Flight home. Cry again. Maybe buy a bunch of snacks for comfort. Start planning the next escape, the next adventure.
- Final thought: Corralejo, you were… a thing. And I loved (hated, loved again) every minute.
