Does anyone know what the "additional charge" is for the use of WiFi at the Oliva Beach Hotel outside Corralejo?  The hotel is "All Inclusive" except for the WiFi!!

My daughter and her boyfriend are staying there in November and I am trying to figure out her communication options. 

I have emailed the hotel with the question, but, from past experience, I am not expecting a reply anytime soon

According to a review on TA, it was â,¬20 a week but only worked in reception area.

Looking forward to the day I tick the "One way only" box when booking flights to Fuerte. [:)]

Why advertise as being all inclusive when you are clearly not . Any add on charge for whatever service makes it NON all inclusive.

The only truly all inclusive hotel i've been to was in Cuba. It really did include everything i.e. mini bar and food and drink room service. No add ons for the A La Carte restaurants. Just had to book in advance. No local only brands alcoholic drinks, have what you want. You didn't have to pay for wifi either although the problem was they never actually had any. Still, i was comforted by the fact that if they had've had it, it would have been free.  :D

I'll pop in or ring and ask in the next couple of days. Pretty sure it is just available in reception area.

Tamara, thanks for the offer .

Woe -  yep, free stuff is worth just what you pay for it!!

At the neighbouring Tres Islas the wifi is free (but you have to get a login when you check-in) in the reception areas (and just about in the bars) and you are lucky if you get 2mb.

Interestingly, the Tres Islas now say that "Free WiFi throughout hotel". They were doing some work, which looking electrical-ish, in the corridors when I was there is June so we shall see in November
