Barcelo Fuerteventura Mar

A s always a great holiday, soon relaxed and into the easy ambience of the Hotel and being spoilt by the staff who have gotten to know us well over the years. We see the same staff year after year, who always make us welcome.

I am here now (& will update after departure if needed). This is a beautiful hotel that caters for most. Breakfast is awesome. Dinner was a little underwhelming. Not eaten lunch here yet. My biggest complaint is every question i have asked reception the answer has either been look on the app (no answer there) or go and ask in the spa/shop etc. So basically, go and find out yourself. I like the app but needs more information. For example, which buffet belongs to which hotel. What you need to wear for classes, for example, reformer class, can you buy the socks onsite? Lacking in information needed for a guest to self serve.

We want to give a big shout out to Sebastian who served us at the Rodizio restaurant. He was so warm and welcoming and accommodated us perfectly. Give that guy a raise!

Excellent hotel with excellent staff(excluding pool life guards) The food is of high quality but only blame yourself if you eat cold or warm food. The dishes are replaced very regularly so getting hot food is about good timing. Rooms are great and kept spotless by very hard working staff. The pools are lovely and plenty of available sun beds. Some slight negatives. The pool area has only fixed sunshades. There are lots of loungers but be sure to use lots of sun cream because you’ll need it. Now be careful using the quieter pool between block 7 and 6 because the lifeguards don’t watch over it for more than 10 minutes per day. They move the allocated seat every morning and sit together next to the Breeze bar. The quieter pool is favored by many parents because the main pool hosts the activities and can get noisy and full. There is a small toddler pool that’s perfect for little ones, that to be honest wouldn’t need a lifeguard as all parents with very little ones never leave them unattended. Bar staff are excellent and work very hard to keep the que time short. Joining a long que can be regular but it quickly clears.

Excellent time from start to finish. Marco welcomed us with a smile. Room was super and well looked after by Aura ( our house maid) I noticed how clean the hotel was and it didn't matter where we were, excellent job. Food court area was impressive as it was well catered for the disabled guests. Again excellent job. Food was good. However, some items were cold I.e. chips (French fries) but to name a few. There were pepper mills at the pizza stand, however, there were no pepper corn in them. Appeared to be just for display. Not good. Although the majority of the dishes were labelled, it would be nice if the respective dishes where labelled a little clearer, for those whovare Vegetarians or Vegans. The evening entertainment was super. The bar staff did take orders so you didn't have to leave your seat. However, we got missed several times and on several evenings. The below is not a criticism.... It may be a thought that the catering staff know which dish is Vegetarian or Vegan. A Vegetarian is a dish served with NO Meat or Fish product. Excellent value for money. Would recommend this hotel
