Staff all friendly just some of the more ignorant English holiday makers did nothing but moan.
You had to get up early to get sunbeds as some people were reserving theirs before 6am or even the night before. Yes, it was us who chucked your towel in the pool!! Some people even hid their parasols in the bushes so they could have them the following day.
Entertainers were all good but the shows need working on.
Food was varied and nice and the snacks were good too. Got sick of the beer in the second week but there was plenty of other drinks to have.
The whole place was cleaned daily and only had one or two cockroaches which is good for the canaries. No ants either.
We have tattoos and we can spell and read, so Andy Pandy, stop tarring everyone with the same brush.

I thought the food pretty good with a lot of choice but wife & kids not as enthusiastic.
Hotel staff on the whole were excellent being quite nifty in clearing your table sometimes before you had finished your plate!
On the entertainment side some of the acts brought in were great(Boney M - Eagles) and the others just passed a hour on.First Choice staff Vince Laura and Billy were fantastic, really friendly but also very hardworking but on our fortnight they had a lot of help from Darren and Tom who set out to really enjoy their holiday and dragged us all along with them- Thanks again you two!
Plenty of tattoo's on view along with some silly hats (cough-cough) and we were lucky to meet some really nice people (hola Craig Becki Jasmine and Maddi)and given the chance would go back.
Only hairy moment was when a boiler exploded in a nearby complex one night giving us all a few nervous moments

To keep my message short I can say that I totally agree with everything the Williams Family have put in their review, and would advise you not to worry before you travel. We were advised by First Choice before we went that there were due to be works on one of the kids pool's but there was no sign of this when we left.
I would definately visit this resort again, we have a 2 year old daughter and it was a fantastic first family holiday.

Location was pretty good but was slightly disappointed not to find much for small children. The entertainment was good which catered for all ages. The reps were very good and friendly.
The choice of food in the hotel bar was limited but very nice.
Would probably not visit the bungalows again.

Apart from that the staff where nice and the pool was very relaxing not to noisy. The food was good from the pool side bar, well not bad for fast food. We went to the town most nights to eat out, 5 mins away lots of good restaurants.
We would not go back to Fuerteventura. We would like some where a little more up market. Maybe Greece next year!

Food was great, good variety, staff can't do enough for you.
First Choice entertainment team were brilliant.
Cannot fault the hotel at all and would definitely go back in the future.

I also liked having a kitchen area with fridge to make drinks for ourselves. The food was very good with plenty of choice, and the staff were all really nice.
The only drawback as far as we were concerned was the lack of adult entertainment, it was all geared towards children. There was an adult music bar but no one seemed to use it so we went out into the town most nights.

For me this just goes to prove how ignorant some people really are, I don't have any, my husband has 5 but he seems like a nicer person that you who steriotypes people, talk about being narrow minded!!!
Next season the Amarilla is merging with the Caleta Dorada and will be 24hr all inclusive, it sounds great but I think I would still prefer to be at the Amarilla side as we walked along to the Dorada and its not as good as the Amarilla.
A holiday is what you make of it and if you spend your time worrying whether people have tattoos or not then you are very sad and what a waste of your money!!!

The food was ok but it was the same everynight. The beds were ok but a bit unconfortable. the pool was clean and the loungers were confortable, the only thing was you had to be up early to get your towels out.
The ba staff were friendly and had alot of time for he kids.
It was a 5min walk to the town which was good, the only thing was the sand on the beach was sore on your feet.
there are water sports for adults and the kids, so you are nevers bored in the hotel.
overall it was a good hotel and we would vist the hotel again.

Firstly, let us apologise if this is long winded, however we would rather furnish you with a comprehensive guide due to there being so many negative comments about this accommodation.
My husband and I, along with our 2 boys, aged 4 and 6 yrs stayed at the bungalows between 18.05.05 and 01.06.05. Admittedly, we were apprehensive about staying at the Caletta Dorada after reading some of the negative feedback on the website prior to our holiday, coupled with the fact that a representative from Direct Holidays contacted us 2 days prior to travel informing us that the pool bar would be unavailable until 22.05.05 due to building work.
However, upon arrival, our fears were soon allayed. Work to the pool bar had in fact been completed the previous week it is very spacious and looks great. Some bungalows have yet to have their refurbishment completed but this certainly will not affect your holiday and isn
