Hi

All the restaurants are AI. We visited both the Chinese & the Med while we were there. As my kids made friends they were booking & going there together as a group (they are 16 & 12) & were always made welcome. They would usually book that day.

While we were there in August there were a large number of girls & lads from 12 up to 17 who in the main all got on well over the 2 weeks. They are still in touch with loads of them & we have loads of photos of tearful goodbyes

Good to hear there were lots of teens there - I'm hoping there are plenty of teens there when we go at Easter, my two will be 17 and 14 and when we stayed in a 'family' place in Lanzarote last year they were bored to tears because it was all under 12s. Did your kids join in the teens club (I think it's called Wavelength or something)?
just got back from caleta dorada, was in c block, and swam in the c pool every day with my three children, luckily for us we were all fine... had a fantastic holiday, kids had a wonderful time, kids clubs are great...
Good to hear another good report coming in! Hopefully all the problems from August have now been sorted out, and First Choice and the hotel management have learnt a valuable lesson from it all :D

My 13 year old son went to the wavelength club, he had never went on any other holiday we had...

Spurry how old is your son???

My son is 9 and my daughter is 15, she's ok because she is meeting up with friends she made last year, but my son will hopefully make friends around the pool otherwise i'll be dragged into all sorts of swimming/diving games :roll:

Hi All,

Have just booked to go here in may next year 8) , we will be travelling with our son of 2 we figured as long as there were pools he would be fine but have only just checked the reviews...some mixed feelings i see :? . Just wondered if anyone had been there recently? We had a awful holiday this year as were due to go to Kos Aqua Beach and due to its problems ended up at Kiotari Bay in Rhodes which was like a building site!! So could do with a decent holiday!

Thanks in advance :wink:

Lucky you! We've got 6 months to wait yet :roll: We've only been back from Turkey for a few weeks, but I'm really looking forward to Fuerteventura, having only seen the place on a day trip before. Could anyone tell me how often the mini-train runs from the Caleta Dorada to the beach? And are there any boat trips (catamaran, glass bottom boat etc) going from Caleta harbour?

Yes there are lots of different trips that you can do at the harbour. We done snorkelling, my 6yr old son loved it. You can go out on the glass bottom boat, catamaran. You can also hire jetski's, pedalo's etc there. They are very helpful there.

Thanks :D
How often does the mini-train run from the Caleta Dorada down to the beach?

Hi

I am sure that the train went about once an hour. We did not use the train on our stay as we walked - took about 5 minutes down & 15 back!! taking it easy in the heat of August
Reply
As i remember it ,the train ran every 1/2 hour to and from town, it stops right outside the caletta reception and carrys on down to the Harbour

Thanks for the train info everyone :D I don't mind walking down, but I'll probably get the train back up the hill.
Looking forward to the holiday now, starting to plan days out and stuff, even though we've got 6 months to go yet :roll: I've booked a Kids Den apartment and I had a letter from FC a while ago to say the Kids Dens don't all have bunk beds, some of them are 'cabin-bed' types - does anyone know if any of the Kids Dens have bunk beds at all? I may email the complex to request bunk beds specifically if they are still available, my kids are teenagers, and safety (falling out of bed etc) isn't an issue, and having bunk beds will probably give more space in the room.

we didnt have bunk beds in the kids den but the bed we had was great it was a high up bed and the 2nd bed slides under the other bed so there is plenty of room we even put the single bed from in th room in there as well so in the day the other bed went underneth and there was loads of room with the camp bed type bed in there to
