I always say you get what you pay for .We paid £570 for flights and hotel all inclusive !!!!
It was our 30th wedding anniversary and we had fruit and towel swans waiting for us on our arrival .The room was slightly dated but clean and we had beautiful views from the room.The food was adequate and pleanty of it.The breakfast pate and crusty rolls are delicious of a morning .
The staff were very helpful and the maids always freindly.
We were due to go home on the Saturday but our easyjet flight was cancelled due to the air traffic control strike.The staff were very helpfull rebooking us for an extra 2 days and trying to print off boarding passes for us.
All in all a restfull break

In detail

This is a difficult one to review, my partner and I grabbed a last minute deal, we'd never done all inclusive before and we had never been to Fuertaventura before but expected it to be similar to Gran Canaria and Teneriffe.

I would point out now that this was a very cheap deal £500 for everything for the two of us for a week.

We arrived at the aparthotel at 12, it should be noted that there is very little within the local vicinity (which is a good and bad thing), a few shops and two or three bars but anything else is a 20 minute walk down the coast (which is quite nice and gives you the opportunity to see some chipmonks).

We were not able to get into our room till 4, due to "spanish law" the hotel can leave you stewing until they have cleared the room etc (which we found more than a little weird), we checked back two or three times before we where given the key.

The all inclusive is ok, theres a help yourself drinks dispenser and the bar is open from 3, the staff seem to work hard and generally I would say globally it is a hardworking staff, reception and the bar staff seemed to be working all out.

Unfortunately this was out of season so the pool bar wasn't open (which wasnt the end of the world but would have been nice), I cant imagine the staff coping with the load in season as they seemed to have enough on the go as it was.

A few things to do around the hotel, tennis, table tennis, water polo and free wifi if you want to make use of it.

Our room was ok, but obviously had some ware and could have done with some maintenance, the curtains had holes, a few broken tiles and more concerningly there was a leak from the bathroom (though not serious). The door handle was also hanging when we arrived, the maintenance guy spotted me having a look at this and immediately repaired it (though you do wonder why the cleaning staff hadn't passed on that it was an issue earlier).

The food is ok nothing special and not kept at the greatest of temperatures (make sure you get in for food soon after it is served), there is a microwave which helps.
The whole thing had a big school meal feel about it, though obviously this could be the norm with all inclusives (weve never done it before). Generally main courses where a choice of, a fish, a meat, a pasta and the obligatory chips which spanish people must think is all we eat (and they may be right from the evidence of people staying with us). I think if your open minded with regards food you'll be fine with this, we had plenty of salad etc which was a refreshing change from home.

fitst of all if you like hustle and bustle,then this is not the place for you,but if you like a nice 20 minute walk, with the atlantic by your side,you have all the hustle and bustle you'll need,
me and the mrs read the reviews,and went with an open mind,we took our 10 and 7 year old grandsons the mother in law and 3 close friends,and none of us could find anything to moan about,they do serve drinks in paper and plastic cups,but i would be the first to moan if one of us cut a foot open on broken glass,also both bars,pool and main,are on the side of the pool,yes the hotel could do with a few more staff,but they do a pretty good job with the staff they have,regarding the pool it was powerwashed and cleaned daily.
the beds were changed regularly,clean towels everyday,I CANNOT UNDERSTAND THE MOANING ABOUT THE FOOD,it served some of the best food i have eaten in a 3 star and we have been all inclusive for years,some people want to try a 3 star in turkey! all in all we had a great holiday,and would reccomend this hotel to anyone on a budget,also the grandsons enjoyed the holiday and loved the food,also the activities,for which the kids can win a certificate,they enjoy it,so if you want a £ 5000 holiday for 1400 quid dont go here,but if you want sunshine in abundance,good food,nice pool,lovely staff,and a clean hotel,where you can get a decent kip,you.ll love it here,WE DID

I often wonder how some people give such harsh reviews for some hotels when I find them ok? Well now I'm getting it, after our first impressions I could quite easily have rated this place as rubbish, written a list of faults as long as your arm and allowed it to ruin our holiday but I don't really think that helps anyone so I will try and be more constructive.......

We booked a late (pretty cheap) deal here, I kind of hoped that we had snagged ourselves a gem but actually we got exactly what we paid for! Nothing special, all sorts of minor gripes but truth be told it was a really enjoyable week. My "useful" advise/information would be:

1) No beach towels so make sure you take your own.
2) Plenty of sun beds but only 5 fixed brollies so shade is a premium.
3) If you are a fussy eater then prepare for chips every night as the rest may not appeal (we found something nice every meal time but the kids struggled).
4) Take your own hairdryer as they charge 5 euro's a day to hire one.
5) You will need 25 euro's (+ 10 deposit) to the safety deposit box key!
6) Great transfer (only 10 mins), hotel is on the landing flight path so even though the planes pass over pretty low the noise isn't at all intrusive.
7) Strange times (3am) for the bin men and other noisy trucks so light sleepers will need earplugs.
