This was my third trip to Fuerteventura but my first time at this property. I had always wanted to stay here and certainly was not disappointed. Check in was efficient with no problems. We arrived on an early flight so our rooms were not completely ready upon arrival, but the spacious lobby with ample seating made the 20 minute wait a minor inconvenience. We were staying in block two. The rooms were huge, very large for a hotel. The large bed was comfortable, there was a seating area and a standard sized balcony. The bathroom was clean, with a bath/shower combination. There is a separate wash/vanity area outside of the bathroom, which on first impressions was odd, but actually works well (one person can be getting ready while the other showers etc.)
Food and drink on the all inclusive option was very nice. There was always a good selection and a good supply of it, especially at busy dinner times. It is a very large restaurant so we never had to wait to be seated. There is also a poolside bar with food/drinks during the day. It was help yourself to the soft drinks, ice creams etc. and then bar service for the alcoholic options. Yet again there was ample seating in this area with a good amount in the shade and also the sun.
The hotel amenities were of a high standard. Good sized pools, we tended to stay in the one further away from the pool bar, purely because it was the quieter of them. There were plenty of activities organised during the day and tennis courts located adjacent to the hotel - personally we didn't use them, preferring rather to go for long walks along the beach which is located directly outside the gates of the property. If you go go either direction, it is possible to walk for miles with a great sea breeze to keep you cool. There is a crazy golf course in the hotel grounds which provides a fun way to spend the afternoon.
Evening time entertainment was that bit more professional than any other hotel/apartment I've ever been to. The theatre area is very comfortable with waiter service during the shows. Unfortunately though it can be difficult to get their attention at times as it can be fairly busy - so a lot of the time we would just go up to the bar.
Overall it was a fantastic stay and I am already in the process of booking again for this coming May. I look forward to going back!
