Barceló Fuerteventura Mar

We came for a much needed break and chose this resort due to its reviews. I can honestly say we were not disappointed by the resort. Our room was very clean and tidy and the maid very friendly when saw her. She also did a great job. The areas around the rooms and the grounds around the block were very clean also. The restaurant food was always well presented and plenty of choice. Staff were helpful. One stood out, Judith who was very pleasant and greeted us at the door and spoke to us and explained things when we first arrived and was always happy. Pool area and bars were looked after, the only one thing I would say was the bar at night sometimes had a bit of a queue to get served at.

Hotel is very clean and well located. Like many Spanish Islands, the attitude towards tourists is mixed but you definately realise not everyone wants you there. The service is very inconsistent, and it is noticeable that nobody at the resort smiles when you meet them. The rooms are excellent and are very clean. The food is on a par with any five star hotel. The all inclusive system is a real mess though with several menus stating contradictory information about what is included and what is not. We checked several times to see if drinks had been added to our room bill as it was confusing for staff also. The resort is a small town with shops, bars, and restaurants. The beach is clean and costs 20 euros for a bed for the day. Sand is typical canary island mix which is fine to walk on but the sea is cold compared to the med. The spa is used my locals for fitness classes, has a small pool and sheltered bed area. The island is known for its wind so expect a steady strong wind every day but the design of the hotel makes sure you can sit by the pool without it being a problem. All catering for UK tourists so no real cultural experience to be had. 15 minutes and 10 euros from the main airport. One final comment, as we went through the passport control to fly home the passport control officer made a derogatory comment about the UK and skimmed my passport across the desk....... Clearly animosity about the tourism/property prices issue. We came here thirty years ago and won't be going back, not because the hotel was excellent, but because a significant percentage of the population simply don't want us there

Hi all, Me and my girlfriend stayed in this resort for a week and I have to say I’m struggling to find fault! The staff were super friendly and helpful, the rooms and entire hotel was clean and tidy. The location was fantastic with an amazing beach 2 minutes walk away. The pools were clean and huge! There was always free sun beds to use as well. The food was good too, the only thing was the buffet got a bit same old by the end of the week, but there was plenty of restaurants near the resort if we fancied a change. Had an amazing time. Thanks team at Barceló.

Excellent stay Stayed here for a week in May. Colleagues were all helpful and friendly with a special mention to Owen, Santiago in the bar and Luis in the restaurant who always went above and beyond to remember you and help. Food was excellent and varied. The AI drinks offering was excellent, I would never expect to go AI and be able to choose from all brands. Some cocktails aren't included on AI but I'd say this is a good thing because everyone ordering cocktails leads to long lengthy queues at bars. We did order some cocktails and paid for them and they were exceptional. The communal areas and rooms are all very clean. Rooms are spacious. Location of the hotel is ideal, beautiful beachfront location with well kept gardens. Sunbeds always available. Will return

Superb. 4th visit. Will return. Rooms and public areas are beautiful, spacious and all very clean. Staff are friendly which can really make a difference when on holiday. Plenty of sunbeds spaced out and not crammed together. Food is fantastic, varied and we were very pleased with the all inclusive drinks offering. I emailed the hotel in advance of our stay to check the dining room dress code for men as I'd seen different reviews and received clear guidance. Hotel is located in a flat beautiful beachfront area which is ideal for any family members who don't like hilly areas. The hotel gardens are very well kept and provide a beautiful surround. Colleagues who stood out this holiday: Luis in the restaurant (as always), Owen and Santiago at the bar - always busy but do their utmost to provide the best possible service with a smile.
