Sheraton Fuerteventura Beach Golf and Spa Resort

Perhaps the hotel was a little worn and dated to be considered a top 5 star, but everything else delivered close to a 5 star feeling. The hotel itself is very neat and tidy, and fairly large and accommodating, we could always get a seat or sun lounger and the place just felt generally spacious. The staff were very helpful and were proactive rather than reactive, that was nice to see. The amenities were good, a really nice heated outdoor pools, a lovely indoor spa, and a nice bar area. The gym was a little on the small side, but enough to keep you going whilst on holiday. We went half board and the breakfast was definitely better than the evening meal, it just felt like there was more better quality choice and variety for breakfast. All in all, a good hotel in a good location, we would return if we ever went to Fuerteventura again.

We were stranded in Fuerteventura due to the Calima and spent 2 days waiting for Jet2 to get us home. So firstly may I take this opportunity to thank the hotel staff who coped very well with a sudden influx of guests at short notice. we arrived around 20.00, Two coach loads but 4 reception staff quickly checked us in and sent us off for dinner. I heard that some of the other guests said we made the place look untidy because many were in shorts and T shirts. As we went to find our room a fellow traveller said " No doubt we will get the cheapest room". As we walked in to our room ( 140) the first thing I saw was the bathroom. To be precise a walk in wardrobe, large jacuzzi bath, separate shower with a toilet and bidet. The main room was more of a suite with Queen bed, sofa, table and chairs pleus a tv with UK channels 1-4 . They are not on the tv list so you have to search for them. We were given half board and the food was good along with the room being comfortable. I cannot say that I would return as Caleta Del fuste has no appeal to me. The hotel is not in a great location, there is plane noise and the prices are beyond my pocket. A visit to the sauna was 20 euro and the cheapest bottle of wine was 19 euro compared to the hotel I stayed in which was a free sauna and 13 euro for a very good wine. However , thanks again for saving us sleeping on the floor of the airport

Arrival 5/5. We flew from Manchester with Jet2 and transferred efficiently on a minibus. The hotel is about a 10 minute drive from the airport. We were greeted with a nice cold glass of Cava. Check in was fast and friendly and we were in our room within 15 minutes of arrival. A fine start. The hotel has 266 rooms, but feels larger, as all rooms are sea facing and the grounds are extensive. Room 4/5. We had booked a delux room, which seems to be the rooms on a higher level with a full sea view. Rooms lower down have more of a garden view. Room 411 was a good size room with a comfy double bed. TV with numerous channels including BBC1 and 2, CH4, BBC News and BBC World News. Enough to keep us informed. Lots of storage space. Nice large bedside tables. Sofa and an extra chair. Desk and chair. Fridge. Kettle and filter coffee machine. Digital safe. Good sized balcony with 2 chairs and table and fine sea views. Our only issue was that the aircon did not seem to keep the room cool enough for us. Bathroom 5/5. Large with twin sinks. Hairdryer. Separate toilet room with bidet. Separate bathroom with bath and separate shower room. Grounds 5/5. Lots of interesting plants, trees, fountains etc and a river with fish running through the property. Beach - there is direct access to a large beach with loungers. We did not use it so have not rated it. Pools 5/5. 3 large pools plus a lovely children???s pool. All were well heated apart from one pool. Food 5/5. When we booked, we had chosen half board plus not really checking what it was. Well it is fab. It lets you eat in the 2 a la carte restaurants every night at no extra cost. Really well worth booking this category of board. Breakfast 5/5. Everything you could ever want. Massive selection of fruits, pastries, meats, cheeses, cereals plus lots of hot food choices and food cooked to order. Cava and vodka too!! Good service every day. Evening buffet 5/5. A massive choice of food and lots of hot choices with cooked to order meat and fish choices. Faro Restaurant 5/5. We ate here 3 times and really enjoyed the food and service. A good selection of Spanish choices. Wok Restaurant 5/5. We ate here 3 times and enjoyed it. Entertainment - We did not really experience it, so have not rated it. There is some live music each evening outside of the piano bar near reception. Location 5/5. The hotel has a nice promenade along the beach to the right and left. It???s a 10 minute stroll to the port to the left, with lots of shops, bars, restaurants etc. There???s a small mall and a good size Spar supermarket to the right. Overall 5/5. We had a lovely relaxing week here. The hotel is great and the food is excellent. It???s perfect for a weeks winter sunshine. We would definitely return.
