I would definitely go back. The food was nice although a little on the oily side, entertainment a bit boring but then we were back in the rooms by around 9pm as our little ones were tired. Not a long walk into town, Corralejo is nice.
Cannot really fault it. You get what you pay for and it's not that expensive.
Definitely go back

The pool bar food is simply the worst I have ever come across at any hotel anywhere.
It was always cold and left standing for hours -I observed the container with the shriveled up chips in it being topped up with more cold chips on top! The lettuce was shriveled and brown and the rolls for the hot dogs just crumbled when picked up. The hot dog I had was complety stone cold, absolute rubbish.
Worse still is the number of birds flying around in the bar, and these stop and peck at the cakes on display and are not discouraged by the bar staff at all.
The sandwich bar by the pool is now closed so this pool bar is the only place to get snacks. Dont't bother is my advice.
Having said that, the food in the main restaurant was excellent with a good selection and friendly staff.
No problems with cleanliness except for some dirty grouting on the floor tiles in the rooms.
Entertainment is diabolical, we watched one display on the tiny stage which comprised of somenone hanging a snake around unsuspecting victims in the audience. This went on for an hour and a half and then he put the snake back in its box and waited for a round of applause - there wasn't much. To view the "entertainment" you have to sit on small plastic seats in regimental rows 24 wide, yes I was so bored I counted them! It's like watching the school play but less entertaining.We found it much better to walk into the town and visit one of the many bars there.This defeats the object of All Inclusive.
The grounds and pools of the hotel are excellent and kept spotlessly clean at all times.
If the hotel can sort out the pool bar and the entertainment area then it would be worth visiting, but as it is I simply cannot recommend it at all.
I would rate it as a poor 3 star.

This hotel needs to sort this out as with a good indoor entertainment area, we would return as everything else was excellent.

This was our third time to the island but the first time we have travelled with a child so we wanted to stay somewhere that was all inclusive. This seemed like the best deal for us so ignoring some of the bad reports we thought we would give it a go, after all it couldn't be that bad as it was a 4 star hotel. Anyway we are not the types to let anything ruin our holiday.
I have to say this was one of the best holidays we have ever had. I cannot rate the hotel high enough.
The staff were really friendly and helpful, could not do enough for you. The maid came and cleaned our rooms every day and made the place spotless. she even tidied up our mess and put our stuff away (ok sometimes it took us an hour to find things but its the thought that counts!) The food was delicious, we both put on about a stone on this holiday. you really would never go hungry. so much to choose from in the evenings and at lunch and breakfast. They even cook steaks in front of you so you can have it to your preference.
There are so many swimming pools you never would have time to visit them all. We had one outside our front door which was cool but it was too cold to go in, apparently there were only 2 heated ones. You never had to fight for a lounger as plenty to go around.
The distance from town was not as bad as everyone makes out, after all you need to try and burn off the food! it took us about 15 mins to walk to town across Waikiki beach but we hired a car from the airport and drove most of the time. Waikiki beach was lovely but we prefered going to the sand dunes most days anyway.
The weather was pretty good, 5 days out of 7 were hot and sunny but 2 days were raining. apparently Dec and Jan are the worst months so avoid if you can. It didn't ruin out holiday anyway as found plenty to do when it rained.
Went shopping in Puerto del Rosario one day to a really big shopping mall.

The hotel resort we found very quiet and relaxing. There are a few pools to go to if you don't want to be near any children.
Ours chldren were 12 and 13 and amused themselves in the main pool, there was also table tennis, volley ball, a basketball hoop all of which you didn't have to pay for. If you wanted to play tennis then you could hire the equipment.
There were plenty of sun beds available by the pool. We ate in the hotel for three main meals, 16euros per adult and 8euros per child, this was a buffet and you could eat as much as you like.
The food in the hotel was very good value compared to the prices if you ate out in the restaurants in the resort. Our favouite restaurant in the resort was La Tosca in the main street by the Plaza.
Took a bus to Puerto del Rosario for the shopping but to be honest I wouldn't bother as it is quite expensive there. The complex is huge running into 4 storeys. The walk to Correlejo town centre is quicker if you go via the beach. However, we did use the taxi service and cost between 2 and 4 euros one way.
Our only criticism is that when the weather is like we had, extemely windy and gusting, we struggled to find something to do.
This is the only reason why we wouldn't go back to Fuerteventura.

We are foodies and enjoy dining out alot. The key here is not to expect the Ritz. I have read alot of reviews and fail to see what some people's problem is there is such a huge choice you can not fail to find something to like and all the other guests I spoke to agreed. Whats more one of our children has food allergies and he eat better than on other holidays. So if you can't put up with food that is varied and fine for a 1-2 week stay, stay at home or spend another
