Barcelo Fuerteventura Mar

There is 2 parts to this review. Firstly, the staff at the hotel are lovely. The food was hot we were all-inclusive plus. The bar staff were very nice and polite. However, be very careful what you book. The DELUXE are NOT DELUXE . the whirl pools are so old and the sides do not lift up as they are all rusty ..The whirl pool was also dirty with suspicious hair in it. The decking has holes in it and there is a big ant problem . . Curtains had mould on them .On arrival the painter and decorators where in our room with dust sheets covering the beds. As an asthmatic this is not good . . The shower flooded the room and the hotel manager was very unhelpful . We had paid for 1 week which was over £2000 . Not worth the money at all. Would I return not on your nelly . I had done this review to warn people what is being advertised as a DELUXE room with whirl pool are over where the wellness centre is . These are advertised on the website but in reality this is NOT what you are given. Priority check in is the same as any normal check in . No complementary drinks on arrival. Mini fridge was not stocked as advertised. After 3 days we was moved to a second room in the same block only difference was there was no mould on the curtains. No bathrobes or slippers . No toliet brush .Simple things that could corrected with some care and attention , .

Hotel beautiful all brand new. Lovely pool area very large with hundreds of beds( still not enough) big towels for hire. Large snack bar serving drinks and food. Plenty of seats in sun or out and on one side a lovely chill out area away from pool with comfy seating and view over crazy golf gardens and beach beautiful. Be aware you cannot pay for anything in cash it has to be cc or charged to room and payable at end. Lovely large air con room. I asked for high floor with evening sun on balcony and that's what I got. Unfortunately the room was back of hotel overlooking some rooftops and a small newly planted cactus garden. Room was massive as was bed! Lots of fluffy pillows 6. Plenty of hanging space and separate area from toilet with sink mirrors hairdryer etc, handy for one getting ready and other showering. Shower great with lots of hot water and choice of shower head. Large tv set on wall. Large settee with cushions for lounging. Fridge was as usual barely cold but did keep drinks cool. Evening entertainment was ok if you could find a table. Quite a few nights nowhere to sit. Drinks quite expensive and difficult to get served when busy. Seemed to be of poor quality. We had gins which were not Gordon's or Lario's etc and didn't taste like gin ! Best location right in centre and path out onto promenade. I would imagine sea view rooms would be great overlooking pool and beach. We stayed half board which we wouldn't do again as the food really left us disappointed. Always a lot of choice but poor quality meats and lukewarm or cold. Most evenings no plates, no veg out or potatoes. Think problem could be not enough staff. The staff were running round trying their best just not enough to cope. Would love to stay again but bed breakfast only as food was a disappointment.

Stayed here for a week at the end of April 2022 with family. Lovely hotel, plenty of sunloungers, excellent choice of snack food during the day at the pool. Lots of choice in the dining room but food could be hotter. Choice of drinks excellent, but even though we were all inclusive plus, they tried to charge us for drinks from the hotel bar at the end of the holiday, also tried to charge for the hotel safe which was also included. This needs looked at as we were clearly wearing gold bands.

A very well appointed hotel complex. Plenty of facilities and plenty of space and sunbeds around the pool at all times during this April break. Tiny resort but the hotel covered most bases. No complaints at all from us.

This hotel exceeded expectations. Beautifully kept grounds, 2 large pools (one heated). Good food and entertainment, drinks reasonably priced. Friendly staff. Large, comfortable reception and seating areas. Great location for local amenities and beach.

Well presented hotel. Rooms, staff, food, pool area all first class. No issues at all. Was on half board basis and the hotel was happy to change from evening meal to lunch so that we could head into town to a restaurant some nights. It was quiet when we were there so maybe different during the busier months. Area still a bit quiet but everyone doing their best with what they can due to restrictions
