We (my partner and I) traveled April 11-18, 2011.
The hotel is absolutely top. We staied on 7th flor (had wished for high flor when booking) with the most fantastic view of the ocean, (wiht surfers from the surf school to watch), the beach, half of the pool area (without noise). The sun was on the balcony until about 2 o'clock. The room was nice in good colors for relaxing. About 2/3 of the hotel was occupied, so it was not crouded.
The restaurant and food is a chaper on its own. So much different food to choice between every day. First setting at 18 ocloc, and seckond setting at 20 oclock. We ejnoied being on the second setting. In the resturant you can order a bottel of wine and drink some of it, next evening when you arrive your bottel are placed on your table againg, nice. Everyone change (or dress up) for dinner.
You don't need more than the two meals the hotel provides you a day. If you need to buy water or other thinges, the SPAR shop just 300 meters from the hotel has it all.
You can be very private at the hotel, but also meet new people. We socialised wiht a couple from Norway after dinner a couple of evenings. Had a drink and sat outside and talked. Very nice. The majority is from Germany and the staff speaks German. We spoke english and had no problem being undestood.
It was very very windy the first two days, however the temperature was 24 celcius, so it did not feel cold, and you could wear shorts.
There are many facilities at the hotel, we only used a few of them like the spa and wellness as well as the work out facilities.
We rented a car from Hertz (category B = with aircondition), it was ready for us in the airport at arrival. We took some tours to explore the island, The nice wide beaches from Costa Calma and south with windsurfing, keitesurfing and the volcanic landshape to explore. The 'west coast' with the hightest volcano mountains and very nice view. The Northe east coast withe the sand from Sahara and the volcanos in the back ground, fantastic. The beautiful blue/grean water in the Atlantic Ocean was also nice to swim in several places on the east coast. Some places are the sand black (dark) and other places light (white/yellow).
Some nice long walks along the beach is also very nice. Some of the Germans we spoke to the last evening have been there before and were going to walk across to the west coast only aobut 4-5 km (each way).
One week did not leave us with time enough to try it all, but our intention was also to relax and get away from the very busy and stressfull everyday life back home. All we had dreamt of came true, and it is absolutely a place (hotel) we would like to go back to.
Only two negative tings was in the airport at Fuerteventura, the straff worked SO slow and ineffectie, and then we had to pay 10 Eurp per kg overweight. So an advice is leave your laptop back home, with your heavy books and travel light regarding clothes.
If you chose to go to this specific distination and hotel, we wish you a fantastic stay and hope your dreams also will come true.
