Barceló Fuerteventura Castillo

Location was very good , didn’t really use hotel apart from sleeping but all seemed well

Unfortunately overcharged which left a bitter taste.

The accommodation was very clean although tired and and a bit tatty,. Most of the staff were friendly and food was ok, junior delux suite beds were very comfortable.

There are a gang of thieves that sit night after night on the benches near the rainbow lamp post on the promenade outside Tindaya restaurant, they are preying on Barcelo guests returning to Castillo! We were followed by them and we were absolutely terrified, we reported it to the concierge in Castillo and were told - “ People here are poor and have no jobs”! We had booked a junior delux suite with hot tub….. The room was dark with no windows. The sofa bed which was also the settee was uncomfortable to sit on , springy and partly collapsed. The door to the sink was hanging off. The room 3030 was close to the entrance which had 3 metal gates than slammed shut with no buffer, one night the banging went on until 4:30am, due to lack of sleep and fear of it happening again we had to ask for a change of room. The next room we were given also had a cupboard door hanging off , the bed was hard but the room was bright and clean and most important - Quiet! We were given a 25% discount off our next stay because of the downgraded room but tbh I don’t want to go there again.

We were upgraded to there royal level which was a lovely suprise so could use all of the restuarants and site amenities Lovely double room apartment Breakfast good But nice to go to a restaurant for service Buffet selection okay most days.

Food ok Dont always like buffet style meals

LOCATION

LACK OF MEAT CHOICES MAIN POOLS NOT HEATED IN WINTER SMALL COFFEES MAIN POOL BAR BREAKFAST MEATS LUKE WARM

Nonostante il cibo non fosse buonissimo per un italiano, ho apprezzato il fatto di avere la formula all inclusive e non pensare davvero a nulla. Discorso a parte per il ristorante Rodizio. SUPER CONSIGLIATO sia per lo staff che per l’ottima carne brasiliana!!!!

Camera non pulita a fondo

It was a nice stay overall and the hotel itself is very good. However, next time I would probably consider staying in a different area, such as Corralejo or El Cotillo, as Caleta de Fuste is quite small and quiet, and most restaurants and bars feel very similar. Special thanks to Vincenzo, the sales manager, who recommended and organized a tour to Cofete Beach for me — an absolute must if you enjoy wild nature and almost Martian landscapes. The spa procedures were also very good.

I would have liked the pools to be a bit warmer, and the food to vary more from day to day.

Excellent buffet avec beaucoup de choix, des fruits frais et murs. Literie excellente, y compris pour le lit parapluie du bébé où il y a un matelas fourni en plus Personnel très aimable et disponible sauf la réceptionniste le 1er jour qui m'a dit "qu'il y avait du monde qui attendait derrière moi" quand je posais des questions (et quand je me suis retournée il n'y avait personne...). Emplacement central sur l'île, la plage n'est pas très belle mais un peu plus abritée et peu profonde donc bien avec des petits.

Les piscines ne sont pas chauffées. Les activités ne sont pas très bien expliquées, on vous renvoit à une application, c'est un peu impersonnel. Rien n'est fourni dans la kitchenette de l'appartement, trois pauvres assiettes, même pas assez de couverts pour 4, pas de condiments de base, ni d'éponges ou torchon...
