Had a week away where we rested and did nothing but lounge by the pool, reading and recharging our batteries. Picked Fuerteventura as the canaries get the winter sun. Hotel location- at least an hour away from the airport, not too much nearby locally, if you are staying in resort OK location, if you like to see a bit more you either have to hire a car or book elsewhere. Area is hilly and hotel is disabled friendly ish...I would say not a suitable location for someone who can't walk far. Nearby a few souvenir shops and 2 x spar shops for food if self catering. If you are looking for restaurants outside of the resort, there are a few but not much choice. Rooms- we had a double room side sea view. Comfy beds plenty of wardrobe space. Large balcony, we overlooked the restaurant, which is a bit noisy when it's open, but the double glazing is amazing and with the door closed you hear nothing outside. No tea making facilities but luckily we took our own kettle and mugs. TV either in Spanish or German 1 x English speaking ( world news) WiFi patchy...tvs are Netflix enabled however can't connect to WiFi. Towels changed regularly and bed linen on request. Shower gel, hand wash, shampoo, conditioner body lotion and hairdryer all provided. Great shower, no bath. You can stay in this hotel on a privilege basis which gets you extras, but all those in privilege scheme seem to want to use the same as rest so seems a bit pointless if you ask me, to pay over 200 pounds more. Not worth the extra. Pool- number of pools to choose from, one by pool bar is heated in the winter months very pleasant. The others were far too cold 🥶 They had a lot of ground maintenance being done during our stay however it wasnt that disruptive. Pool bar open 1030 to 1800 and does a buffet lunch (1300 to 1600) to save going to the main restaurant. We were all inclusive , when you buy a drink they record it and you have to swipe your wrist band. Seems odd when u are all inclusive, unless they are tracking what they sell for stock purposes? But adds to the queues. Pool bar does get busy, and often not enough staff on hand. Breakfast served in restaurant, all you need is available. Lunch- Pool bar or restaurant 1300- 1500 Dinner- 1830-2130 large dining room however not much choice for a big hotel you would expect lots on offer except very samey and they put a lot of one thing out to make it look like there is lots of choice...they seemed to do themed nights of a fashion however 3 nights out 7 only theme was pizza! They have an America style restaurant which 1 visit is included in a 7 night stay however only open Thurs to Sunday and was fully booked for our stay. Restaurant gets busy from 1900 onwards so either go early or sneak in the side door and u don't have to queue. Small selection of desserts same on both tables, and ice cream. Sea access is by very steep steps, clear water nice beach but strong current, Ok if you are a confident swimmer. Would I recommend yes
