6 night stay in El Feurte
Really nice hotel in a super location. Excellent beach access and very close to restaurants and Orange Square. Staff are very attentive. Hotel facilities are very much 5 star. The only negative I would give is some of the rooms could do with updating. They are clean and very comfortable but the bathrooms especially could be refurbished. We will definitely return
Excellent service from start to finish
Davide on the Concierge Desk, made our stay very special for us. He went above and beyond, nothing was too much
A great place to enjoy life
The staff went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. Even putting up with our large wedding entourage. The breakfast was off the charts. We were very impressed. They always had a welcoming smile.(proper smile 😀 ) I would even go there just for the breakfast ❤️❤️❤️
Gorgeous hotel and great service
Absolutely loved our long weekend at this hotel. Beatriz is an exceptional manager and all the staff are kind, exceptional and ensure that you throughly enjoy your stay. Rooms are gorgeous , breakfast is amazing - especially the croissants!
Seriously wanting
Tripadvisor I feel I have to write a review of the El Fuerte Hotel I booked for 6 nights for myself and my two daughters ages 9 & 8. We booked what was called a Junior suite. €1300 per night !!!! It was so small and badly configured that we changed room - same category but without a partition- it enabled us to have space to unpack our cases ! You walk through the bathroom to enter the bedroom. At the far end of the bedroom up against the wall is a bath !! (I imagine it is never used)!! There are so many small things in this hotel which are just ridiculous- for example in the shower the soap dispenser is up against the wall meaning it’s almost impossible to squeeze out soap without it dripping down the wall !! For the last two days the room wasn’t serviced until 4pm ….. and when I told the manager she said they had till 5pm to do it - that’s not 5 star hotel performance!! That’s a pathetic excuse for trying to get away without doing it ! This hotel only has two small lifts - it take many minutes to get where one wants and often people are just walking the stairs…. As we did ! In breakfast I asked for coffee for 45 mins and after 3 attempts to try and get it I gave up and walked out - the service was pathetic - and what I noted was the lack of willingness to serve- no smiles - seemingly no pleasure in the work …. I save the worse for last - I ordered a dish for my daughter which was Tuna and rice, I specifically told them we don’t eat shellfish and they said it only contained Tuna a nothing else - I said we had allergies.. The dish was served with SQUID …. My daughter took one mouthful before realising it was wrong and spat it out… This could have had fatal consequences and just one more reason I would never return to this hotel. What a terrible, basic and inexcusable mistake…. I told the management it was unacceptable and the reason I’m putting this review on Tripadvisor as it’s in the public interest to understand how poor this hotel is. They offered me compensation of the extras on my bill which amounted to less than €400. They are lucky I’m not involving lawyers- I’m sure others would. It goes without saying I will never return ….
