A strange silence hangs over the adult-only pool area of My Favourite Club. Think the film Cocoon. Books, Kindles, and Sudoku puzzle books are the favoured companions of the mostly middle-aged masses that bake in the blazing sun. There’s an eerie stillness here, jarred only by an occasional plunge into an empty pool. Of course, any adult only resort will sell itself on total peace and quiet. For those wanting to savour solitude away from the inflatables and chaos of young families, this silent space offers quiet time in abundance. But when is quiet, too quiet? We’ll come back to that question later. The My Favourite Club experience at Alua Suites Fuerteventura is good. At times, great even. The rooms are spacious, clean, and filled with coffee pods, replenished water, and eco-friendly free toiletries. There’s even sumptuous bath robes and slippers in every room, perfect for private terrace post-shower relaxation before evening dinner. Our poolside upper terrace (thank you Cesar in reception) was perfect for watching the sunset with a glass of Prosecco left over from the generous welcome pack we received upon arrival. The food is varied and offers something for most palates. If you tire of using the adult-only eateries (a lounge and a la carte restaurant is available for those with the all-access wristbands), you can also use the general dining areas across the resort, and, rest-assured for those paying extra to not mingle with the masses (trust me, they exist-some My Favourite Club guests meanly referred to the family section as a ‘ghetto’ during rare conversations), there are separate spaces in the family areas for My Favourite Club guests too. It’s a pleasant stay, particularly given the consistent friendly and welcoming interactions with the cleaning and maintenance staff here (our cleaner Eli was adorable). These support staff are national treasures and take time to welcome you warmly whenever passing (unlike the younger staff serving poolside drinks whose surliness can uncomfortably border on guest disdain at times). The resort also offers a range of well-being treatments, sporting activities, and evening entertainment. They’ve got most things right, so what, if anything, may be significantly wrong? Well, as noted in many of the more critical reviews on here, the hot buffet tends to be tepid at best. Yes, there’s a microwave to reheat food in the main Terra dining area if you’re after a *hot* buffet, but with the huge potential income generation across this busy site, buying effective food heat lamps could be a simple solution to address this shortcoming (even when dining early, the food is rarely hot). Also, the food offering is largely the same across the resort. My Favourite Club guests paying a premium and expecting a slightly enhanced breakfast (say smashed avocado on toast, or scrambled eggs with smoked salmon) may find themselves a tad disappointed. The poolside drinks system is a nuisance too. Tokens are issued at check in,
