Barceló Fuerteventura Castillo

The hotel rather looks like a small village with individual bungalows in a landscape with local trees and bushes, all well maintained and tidy. Expect walking times up to 10 minutes to get where you want to. Staff is friendly, the pool area is rather large - it was no problem to find a lounger. Breakfast offers the usual options and there is ample space in the main buffet restaurant. You can also use all of the amenities of the neighbouring Barceló Mar hotel. The spa is at the other end of the area covered by the two hotels (massages were good both technically as well as the secluded atmosphere in the rooms). The bungalows feature a large living room with a table and chairs as well as a couch, a small kitchen with a refrigerator and a microwave oven in addition to the usual kitchenware, a bathroom and a sleeping room. The terrace has another table with chairs and 2 sun loungers. If you prefer not to eat in the hotel's restaurants then you will find shops and restaurants throughout Caleta de Fuste, some 15 minutes walk away. The local bus stop is a 20 minutes walk with frequent connections to the island's capital and central bus station.

The hotel is nice. Lots of choice of places to eat, a spa, decent sized pool. Our room was spacious and the beds were very comfortable. The whole resort was very clean. The beach area was nice and yellow sand rather than black. The resort had a good amount of bars and restaurants within easy walking distance of the hotel. Alcoholic drinks in the hotel bars seemed reasonably priced.

The property was clean, the rooms were large and modern and the staff were very helpful and friendly. Great location and good outlook over the beach and sea from the pool.

The resort is nice, lots of green spaces and just beautiful to walk around. Pools were heated and with salt water, which we liked. Food was good, but breakfast selection could do with more fruits and maybe freshly squeezed juices instead of concentrate ones. All in all a good stay, particularly our room which was more of a bungalow, with its' little terrace were we could enjoy in the evenings.

All staff were incredibly friendly helpful, both in the hotel and the Animators. We ate breakfast and lunch and the food was delicious, and when we did have to pay for something, i.e. drinks the price was very reasonable. The activities at the pool were a lot of fun, some very relaxing. This was a 'Well-Being' week for both of us, and it was perfect, we found it very difficult to leave we were treated to well.
