Calletta sounds best for you but if you want real beaches Costa Calma is worth looking at however it is mainly a hotel basedresort so restaurants are limited and it is 90% German.

Hi Debs

Have you read through the resort reports HERE? They may help you decide.

My husband and I discovered Fuerteventura end of February this year and we loved Caleta, so much so we have just returned from another visit. We have booked an apartment for next March and are taking our daughter and her husband and also our 3 yr old grandson, 10 yr old grandaughter and the baby (when it arrives) will be 7 mths. There seemed to be quite a few playareas (swings/climbing frames etc)for the children and even trampolines where they wear harnesses and can do back flips, I know my grandaughter will love that. There is even a sandcastle school on the beach. Camels to ride and chipmunks to feed in the rocks. There is even Amigos Playcentre under the San Jorge apartments. I have heard from others with it being a man made beach it is quite shallow in the water for quite a way out so ideal for children paddling. Ourselves, we prefer the other beach - along by the restaurant which is in the sea, reached by a wooden walkway,nr the Atlantico Centre. The sand there is lovely and it does seem quieter for relaxing.
We did go to Corralejo for the day and to be honest the harbour area was lovely but I did not think much of the rest of it and was pleased we were staying in Caleta.
Beaches at Jandia are well worth a visit they are glorious. I could spend a day or two there lying on the beach, but probably no more.
I suppose everybody has their own idea of what makes a great holiday !

hi debs.the first time we went to fuerteventura,my daughter was just 2,and we went to caleta.it was lovely.she had hours of fun on the beach.we were at the back of the resort,but everything was within walking distance.we have also stayed in corralejo,but the beaches are not as good,unless you go to oliva beach,which is stunning,but very windy,too windy to be comfortable for us.my daughter is 8 now,and we are heading back to corralejo in 5 weeks time.i must say werever we have stayed,you could never call it 'blackpool'.just lovely

hi debs, congratulations on your forthcoming first visit to fuerteventura. hubby and i have been going to caleta for the past four years now, we hate blackpool, caleta is absolutely nothing like blackpool. we have been to various places on the island, but we prefer caleta. like others have said it depends on what you like. two of our friends came over half way through our hols last year, they are now fuert. lovers too. when we come over again in just over three weeks, our daughter and her boyfriend are coming over for the second week. her boyfriend has never even been abroad before. so he is doubly excited. i think you will have a great time in caleta, but wherever you go on the island you will have a great time. enjoy

Hi Debs,

Im sure that wherever you choose to stay in Fuerteventura, you'll have a fantastic time because the island is beautiful.
We stayed in Corralejo, at the Oasis Dunas Apartments. The complex is perfect for families, with large, low-rise apartments all set around the large central pool. The complex is located about 5/10 mins walk from the centre of Corralejo, and about the same distance to the beaches, one of which is sheltered from what i can remember. Also the waterpark is located opposite the apartments and the amazing sand-dunes are a short taxi/bus ride away. I understand that this property is a featured 'Family First' complex with Mytravel.
You can find reviews of this property here and here
There is a dedicated HT forum for the Oasis Dunas Apartments here
Here are some photos of the complex, as well as the following which i took myself:

Wherever you choose to stay im sure you'll have a great time. I'll be happy to answer any questions you might have. Hope this helps,
