Paradisus by Meliá Fuerteventura – All Inclusive

Had a room with a lovely view, nice and clean. Food was very good but sometimes food descriptions were wrong or missing.Great hotel location. Staff was friendly.

Excellent and varied menu. The cook will prepare your breakfast or dinner choice in front of you. There is also a dazzling choice of prepared hot buffet food to tuck into if necessary. Lots of fresh fruit and the opportunity to try out a multitude of desserts. The grounds have been updated and improved to enable 10 minutes access to both the wind sports centres on the beach. So easy - even a gently enclined ramp down to beach level. The hotel is clean and my room was brilliant, enormous with a sitting area and a balcony with recliners. Bathroom good - everything worked. The bus took one hour to reach the hotel.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Melia Giorriones. The location is superb, the resort is located right on a wonderful beach. I also really loved the relaxed atmosphere. It was a quiet time of year (Jan) so it felt really peaceful. Staff were very helpful. The staff in the restaurant and particularly at lunchtime, were super friendly and helpful. I will return next year without a doubt!

Such a great hotel--shame they didn't get the basics right... The staff are absolutely top-notch, especially the kitchen and dining room staff--they really go out of their way to make you happy! The food, equally, is excellent, both at breakfast and dinner--plenty of choice, two cooking stations etc, etc. The hotel's location is spectacular: even though it's a behemoth, it feels like you're the only person on the island. The beach really is all yours, for miles, and miles, and miles. Excellent pool facilities too. The lobby is a bit strange; it was designed to be impressive however, it could do with a bit of paint and, more to the point, the rooms were very disappointing... Granted, we stayed in the oldest part of the complex--the bathroom needed a new bathtub (it was visibly rusty), the AC filter was resting on the shoe-shelf for the first two nights, and the bed was appalling: it squeaked if you took a deep breath, yet alone if you moved, and it had virtually zero support. The lack of WiFi in the rooms, and very slow and temperamental WiFi in the public areas unfortunately, tilted the scales towards no, I wouldn't stay again or recommend the property to a friend.

Staff very rude They upset my 15 yo son Food awful Facilities very basic

The hotel was built in the late 70's and has gone through various upgrades and improvements. The building is in a good condition and the general feel feels pleasant however there are areas that let it down and it should really be classed as a 3 star maybe. The best thing about this hotel is its location on the most gorgeous beach there on the south of the island. The beach is a real pleasure, if you like walking, bathing or just spending time on the beach, you'll love this hotel for the sheer convenience. The hotel has a lovely pool but quite honestly, most people were down on the beach. it's a naturist's dream by the way so if you don't want to see a whole lode of naked people, don't go there but if it doesn't bother you then its a dream location. Towels can be booked out if you leave a deposit. every change of the towels carries a small nominal charge. The hotel is secluded and no public transport serves the hotel however, there are plenty of taxies about. We opted to hire a car from the airport for the week, which cost roughly the same as the shared transfers. The restaurant was spacious and a wide variety of food but we are vegetarians and it was so annoying that hardly anything was labelled. The vegetarian choice was very limited and basic. The restaurant staff had no time to answer your questions or spoke no English! The staff and the processes look tired in this hotel, Maybe a fresh look would do it wonders.

Rooms showing signs of wear and tear but comfortable, functional and clean. Exceptionally good staff, especially the chamber cleaning staff. Food is excellent and, in this case, I would recommend the 'all inclusive' deal without hesitation. The important thing here though is more the beach/lagoon location than the hotel - unbeatable! The one downside is the wi-fi - it is difficult to access - only seems to work in reception and some common parts - requires daily re-logging-in but doesn't tell you and is slow and limited. As long you can access moviestar (mobile 3g), which I did on my giffgaff contract, then this does work and is fast enough for holiday use. I doubt any hotel on the island has good wi-fi. Final word - this is a really comfortable, relaxed and well run operation - I think most people would be happy here.

We were upgraded to the Case del mar appartments away from the main hote, these are about to become a separate hotel and not part of the complex which is a shame. There are parts of the original hotel that a somewhat tired but cannot fault the facilities or the staff who could not have been more helpful.

I stayed there last week of August. Staff very helpful! Pedro waiter in the restaurant ourstanding! Very good food and many choices. Recomend to everyone with kids.

We chose Melia Gorriones for the keep fit activities and were not disappointed. Raul, Jose, Alberto & Ingemar made Yoga, Pilates, Stretching, Powerbiking, Cardiobox and circuit classes very enjoyable. The fitness classes are much needed to counter over eating from range of dishes available at breakfast and dinner. Could have done with early evening stretching classes as well. We even learnt to Zumba for the first time - great choreography Heated 25m pool is great for laps and the Poolbiking, in addition to the 2 saltwater pools which are not heated. The weather was disappointing with rain, high winds and overcast days but there was enough to do with keep fit classes, heated lap pool and wading in the endless lagoons- bliss. Staff are great, treat you like adults by leaving you to do your own thing. The Christmas meal was unbelievable, waitering so very efficient and drinks on the house. Entertainment available in the evenings but rooms facing the reception area are not soundproofed from the evenings entertainment. Mosquitoes in rooms not sea facing was unexpected, had to keep air conditioning running on top of mosquito repellant plug-ins. No worries if you did not come with mosquito repellant, 2 excellent grocery shops available in the hotel - one on the 4th floor was open early morning to late evening even on Christmas day. EXCELLENT holiday. Very happy to return again.
