We arrived after dark to the hotel and were put in a room overlooking a noisy road (after asking for a sea view!) Initially, the room looked basic, but clean, however on closer inspection, we found the living area was crawling with ants! After phoning reception, a cleaner came within 20 minutes and sprayed ant killer everywhere, which was fine.

We found the road didn't get any quieter throughout the night, in fact bin lorries were collecting from 4.30am, so we didn't get much sleep!

The pool area was nice, pools were freezing - but we expected that in November. There were plenty of sunloungers. The poolside bar served good snacks during the day and the supermarket was well stocked.

The 'evening entertainment' was non-existent, it seemed that the whole place shut down after 5.30! It was also a little way from the town centre, which we didn't feel comfortable walking at night, so would advise anyone to bring plenty of books!

Over the next 2 days of our holiday, the ants returned several times, in the end, the maid left us a can of ant killer in the room! On the 3rd day it started to rain heavily and when we returned to the room, we were greeted by cockroaches!

After demanding to be moved, we were put in a room the other side of the hotel, which again had ants, but this time stunk of sewage as well! (We did finally have a sea view though!) After finding another massive cockroach by the pool, we decided to pay to move hotels and spent the last part of our holiday in the lovely Hotel Atlantis Palace - which we will definitely be returning to, unlike the Bristol Playa Apartments!

We arrived at Bristol playa knowing that this hotel had been renovated a few years ago. Very nice.

Only problem was we'd booked two rooms one for us and one for our two teenage daughters, we were informed on arrival that due to a burst we would have to share a room and be moved in a couple of days, other people were given breakfast as compesation but we'd already paid for it and were given a safe key as compo.

After woking out how much we'd spent on bookig two rooms and paying under occupancy we were out of pocket by over 500 pounds.

We brought this to the attention of the hotel staff who said that they would move us as soon as the rooms were ready which would have been half way through our holiday.

We said no there was no point packing again and unpacking with only a week left, there was no refund for breakfast and we shopuld be glad they gave us a safe for free.

Holidays are not cheap to start with.
We managed as we had a great view of Lobos and Lanzarote, thomas cook helped us out in the end and amended our booking giving us some cash back and some vouchers, so all was not lost.

We couldn't fault the complex it was so clean and to be fair the staff were very friendly, we did,nt complain or get aggrivated at the situation and they eventually realised that we were a nice family and could hear us comming miles off they used to say the armstrongs are comming and we did have some good fun with them.

The shop was pretty well stocked and is in a good location just in the older part of town which is a nice walk in the evening through the back streets.

I have recomended this hotel to others and having stayed in Fuerteventura many times I would stay here again.

This hotel is one of the best we have stayed in. Upon arrival our room was very clean and was kept this way with cleaners coming 5 times a week, towels being changed 3 times a week and bed linen twice a week. The pool area is also kept extremely clean and tidy, along with the reception area and bar areas.

The hotel is located in the spanish area of the resort where many locals live. You could walk to the main street either through the back streets, or along the harbour which was a lovely walk with great views over to Lanzarote and Lobos. There is a supermarket just across the road called Vivo but for main supplies it is best to go to the big supermarket called HiperDino which is where the locals use - it is very cheap and sells everything you could possibly need.

The staff at the hotel were extremely friendly. All reception staff were helpful and could speak excellent english. The bar staff were also good but could take a little while to get served if busy - be sure to try the cocktails in the hotel bar especially the zombie!!!

The entertainment at the hotel was OK. There is nothing on a Wednesday but every other night there is either a live singer or a karaoke night. May not be to everyones taste - if not there are plenty of bars in the main street which provide entertainment.

The only issue with the hotel was sometimes there was a smell of sewage if the wind was in the right direction or if you walked past what seemed to be the treatment plant near the front of the hotel. However it wasn't a major problem and we never smelt it during the day whilst sunbathing around the pool.

A couple of other things I have to mention - I highly recommend you visit Olivia Beach - only 1 euro per person each way on the number 6 bus or 5 euro 50 taxi ride - well worth it the best beach I have ever seen and the sand dunes are amazing. The beaches along the harbour are nothing compared to this beach.

Also if you get the chance to go on the Catlanza excursion it is well worth it. You catch a catamaran from the harbour and moor off the coast of Lanzarote. Here you can snorkel and swim and also get the chance of a jet ski ride. It was 61 euros each and the jet ski was free along with all snorkling equipment, a meal and as much drink alcholic and non as you wanted. We even spotted a dolphin on the way over to Lanzarote.

Overall this was an excellent holiday with excellent accomadation and we would not hesitate in returning!

After a 10 hr flight delay arrived at 1.00 am we were given key to room 168 overlooking pool.

Horrendous smell of sewage awaited us and requested a change of room and was told nothing could be done until morning at 9.00. The following day, room was changed to number 300 on third floor no smell and fantastic sea view. From the balcony we could see Lanzarote on a clear morning.

Hotel staff friendly, rooms clean, all mod cons, toaster, kettle, microwave etc. Entertainment ok singers in bar most nights not our cup of tea so went into town every night

I have to be honest, this is the cleanest, best maintained hotel I have ever stayed in. The public areas, ie the bars, pool area and reception where spotless. The rooms where cleaned everday, linen changed three times while I was there.

Self catering apartments consist of a large balcony (ours overlooked the Atlantic) leading through to a spacious living, sofa, dining table, t.v. and small but well equipped kitchen, 2 ring hob, microwave, kettle toaster and fridge, very adequate. Next was the bathroom with bath, shower, bidet and a constant supply of toilet roll, which is something I am used to having to buy. The bedroom is large with a double bed, 2 fitted wardrobe and a safety deposit box,

I have already booked my holiday back to this hotel in November. Following discussion with some friends about the Bristol Playa, they have booked for September.

The hotel is spotless, rooms well equipped, and the views second to none. Beautiful walk to Corralejo from the apartment via the sea front.

I have been to corralejo loads of times and can honestly say that this was the best accomadation ever.

Well done Hesperia Bristol Playa.

On arrival at Bristol Playa we found the rooms were very clean, although the room were a little cramped for 3 adults. There were 15 of us in our group,taking 5 one bedroom apartments.

The pools were of course freezing, and there were plenty of sunloungers to go around.

We had booked 5 quiet rooms and they put us near the bar area, this did not matter in the end, as what entertainment we heard was not to our tastes so we were out every evening.

Clean apartment with a nice view out to sea. Unfortunately, when you are sitting on the balcony, a smell of sewage hits you occasionally if the wind is in the right direction. You can't smell this anywhere else on the complex, just at the back.

Reception staff very pleasant and helpful.

Unfortunately, the weather during our 7 night stay was awful, very unusual for February in the Canaries!

We had a great time in block I with a sea view.

All the staff were very friendly and the rooms are cleaned every day except Friday and Sunday. The apartment had everything we needed (toaster, fridge, microwave, coffee perculator, hotplates)and was in excellent order, and nice childrens play area and entertainer.

It is in the Spanish part of town, away from all the other hotels and typical tourist shops which suited us - no hassles and great local restaurants (Avenida - get there before 7pm or prepare to queue and Avelino at end of road towards harbour).

Lovely walk to the harbour past the surfers and the local octopus diver (10 mins). The town beach with sand sculptures was sheltered from the wind by old harbour wall(20 min).

Hiperdino supermarket (5 mins) up road past Jive Bunnys, on right past windmill. Bus station going everywhere close by too.

The hotel standard of cleanliness was very good, Maid
service every day expect sunday. Staff very friendly
and helpful in all respects. Pool area very clean and
well maintained, All outside areas well kept. Small play area for young children. Location of hotel we
found very good approximately 10 mins walk to the
harbour and main shopping area, large supermarket 5
mins from hotel,Small sandy beach with sun beds,sun
shades and a bar/restaurant approximately 25 mins walk.The main beach Flag Beach was a good 45mins walk or a 5 euro taxi ride.The only drawback would be if you have small children the beaches are a little way from the hotel.
