Good experience
After seeing the less than positive reviews for the hotel I was worried about coming and wasn’t expecting much at all. However since being here I have been impressed . Friendly staff at check in and very quick . My husband had made a few requests for a quiet room and 2 rooms together and that was done . Rooms and hotel very clean throughout . Pool area great and something for the kids to do everyday by the pool . Food basic but ok , drinks very quick for us . All staff helpful and friendly . The views and beach great . It’s a quiet area but that’s what we wanted . I would come again .

Highly recommend!
We had a unique experience at this hotel! Shortly before our vacation began, my partner read the reviews for the hotel we were going to stay at. And he warned me that I should expect nothing but negative treatment, that's what it said. We have been to at least 15 "all inclusive" hotels in different countries around the world and we have some minimal experience. For example, in February we were in Egypt and we had no hot water, that's where our problems started. We had the same experience, but for a shorter time in Italy (May) and Malta in July. Similar problems in Cape Verde in March. I'm used to it, and in general I'm not a conflicted person. In this hotel in Fuerteventura we were amazed by the cleanliness everywhere (not only in the rooms) the service, the live music, the shows, the entertainment from the animators, the food, the management and the overall atmosphere in the hotel, the greenery and the feeling of a real vacation! The staff is so smiling! We managed to feel the meaning of the word "vacation" thanks to them! Special thanks to the smileiest working person there - Jonathan, who said that he loves his job! I highly recommend it!
Decent experience if not overpaying
Overall we had a good stay at the hotel. The food was good with plenty of choice, the rooms are reasonably spacious and the hotel grounds are quite large. There was also something going on every day, with different activities organised by the animation team.
A special mention has to go to Pilar from the kids club. She was absolutely lovely with our 5-year-old daughter and our daughter really took to her. Pilar was very caring and genuinely seemed to enjoy spending time with the children. You could see that she was making a real effort to keep them entertained. The whole animation team were very enthusiastic and friendly.
There are, however, a few things that I think the hotel needs to improve. The hotel is starting to look quite a bit tired everywhere. Some things are small, for example we were given what looked more like rags than proper towels (see photo) or room was not cleaned, but there are also bigger issues: The decking around the pool is in quite poor condition and some of it is badly worn, which I think is a safety issue and should be urgently addressed. The managements lack of interest tells you a lot about the regard towards the guests. Some of the paving around the hotel is also uneven. Anybody's holiday could be finished on the day one if one is trip over these pavers.
I managed to split my toe on the hotels volleyball court, due to concrete hardcore being covered by not enough sand. This needs to be remedied immediately by laying more sand and the animator spending 10min before the game to even out the ground!
The beach bar was another frustration. There was often a queue because there was only one person serving, especially at busy times. Having another member of staff there would make a big difference.
Most of the guests during our stay were German, followed by Czech and Polish, with some French guests as well. We didn't see many British or Russian guests.
Overall, I think it's a good hotel as long as you haven't paid too much for it. There are definitely things that could be improved, but we reasonably enjoyed our stay.
DO NOT BOOK
WORST HOTEL I HAVE STAYED IN! Avoid Definitely not a 4 star, food was awful, rooms needed exterminating due to Ant infestation Tree cutters all week sawing trees down, at 08:00 in the morning. When complaining to reception they said “sorry” wasn’t good enough, the cleanliness of the hotel was shameful. The hotel staff were under staffed and definitely stretched! Fully packed hotel one person on the all inclusive bar. Children’s entertainment was awful, no translation to the children they looked lost. Another couple was also complaining that there concrete balcony had disintegrated in the wind and blown down to the downstairs including the metal railing! They were refused to move rooms! Health and safety…. There was none, no protection barriers for the tree cutters as they were throwing palm tree branches down, couldn’t hear our self’s think. Hotel manager was rude and made it my fault that the ants came in, when no drinks or food were left un attended in the room, including my Crohn’s medicine and sterile treatments were absolutely saturated in ants along with my personal gadgets. The hotel needs a refit. To outdated and boarder line falling to pieces. Also the family rooms have ONE plug socket with is for the tv…. Good luck charging all your appliances and getting ready as a family of 4 really challenging. We went as a group of 6 with two children and would never recommend.

AVOID
Worst holiday I’ve been on. Rooms tired, outdated and lacking basic amenities such as working air con and plug sockets. Food bland with limited choice. Entertainment extremely boring. Pool areas dirty with old food from the day before and chainsaws going on all day everyday where they are cutting down trees by the pool. Toilets around the pool disgusting One of our groups rooms had an ant infestation Another guests balcony crumbled and partially fell down. Very little to keep the kids entertained, they described the kids club as being like school.
Would not return or recommend to anyone. I have no idea how this hotel is graded a four star!
