Weather : Our first holiday to Fuerteventura, was greeted with surprise, what a lovely relaxing island - that was what the holiday was about to lie read and chill all week.

The weather in June 09 was glorious, a little cloudy in the mornings, but the sun always came through.

Holiday : We stayed in the Vila Rosario on the Turicomplex in Caleta de Fuste, and were pleasantly surprised - a large two bedroom villa with everything anyone would need, the private pool was just great.

We went down town in the morning, about half a mile for breakfast and to pick up the newspaper, it was cheap to eat breakfast out, lots of competition on the prices. Picked up a light lunch from the supermarket and headed back to our villa for the day.

I read 5 books that week, and got an amazing sun tan.

We ate out every evening trying different restaurants, I can't say any one stood out, but we was never dissapointed.

There was a bar with live acts every night, which we always ended up at, some very good entertainment.

Places Recommended : We never travelled the island, just lay and read, but we had a good walk round the coast and managed to spot the chipmunks on the rocks, amazing.

We relaxed and chilled so much, we are now returning for our second visit, October 09, but are going to try Corralejo, will let you know how it goes.

Must say the climate really suited us, and the breeze was very welcome.

Recommend Fuerteventura to others : Yes

Elaine Palmer went to Fuerteventura on
Wednesday 24th June 2009 for 7 days

Weather : The temprature was brilliant, not too hot that you could'nt lay in it and there was a lovely breeze.
Most mornings it was pretty cloudy but this blew over by about 12noon.
Its pretty chilly of a night in Fuerterventura so take a jacket!

Holiday : Brilliant, stayed in Oasis village hotel on a all inclusive. unlimited snacks drinks and icecream was brilliant!
We originaly booked to stay in Club Las Olas Hotel, but after one day I arranged to speak to my rep because the hotel was so bad!
The rep quickly moved us to Oasis Village hotel and we had a excellent time.
The only thing that i disliked about the hotel is that birds kept flying in the restaurant and landing on the food.

Places Recommended : Lanzarotte on a boat trip.
I think it was about 50 euros, it glass bottom boat stops on the reefs and you can see all the tropical fish and dolphins.
We even saw a Sperm Whale!
Excellent day out

Recommend Fuerteventura to others : Yes

Weather : The weather was fabulous, Not too hot that you couldn't sit (or lay ) in it. If it was cloudy early morning then the sun burned thru with avengence. Windy, but that is typical Fuerteventura.
Fab all over sun tan in two weeks.
Great holiday.

Holiday : We stayed at Hotel Villas de Sol, just outside Corrallejo so you do need a car to get into Corrie unless you are very keen on keep fit. They are the best accom we have stayed at on the island . Totally self contained and private. Spacious and very clean. If you want night life then you need to go into Corrie.
It has tv. dvd player washing machine sound centre hairdryer iron and board.
So you can cut down on what you take.
Having been to Fuerteventura a few times we are fed up with all the touts along the main street trying to drag you into restaurents. It put us off going along there.

Recommend Fuerteventura to others : Yes

Weather : Ubiquitous cold wind, downpours, showers, some sun, managed to get a tan in 7 days but only by stripping off every time sun came out from behind a cloud. Sky was constantly in motion.
Great sunsets. I saw the most amazing rainbow whilst doing Quigong on the beach just outside the hotel.

Holiday : Best bit of holiday was the hotel. Reluctant to name it in case we go back and it is booked up:) Oh, OK - it was the very attractive Hesperia Bristol, most northerly point of Correlejo. Lovely staff, all requests attended to, if you don't like the location of your well-equipped apartment you can change at any point during your stay, subject to availability.
Spotlessly clean, a safe-feeling enclosed well lit triangular complex with three interlocking pools and beautifully maintained gardens, a tiny supermarket and a laundry. A different entertainment every night if you wanted - we competed at rifle-shooting and stroked pythons of various sizes, gave performing parrots and karioke a miss. They have a restaurant in the riad-style reception building, but we did self catering (amazing supermarkets in town) and eating out.

Places Recommended : We found a restaurant La somethingorother Del Pescadores (sorry:) at the north end of the harbour which had massive plates of delicious tapas and friendly staff, and went back three times after trying other uninspiring places.
Went go-karting in Calete del Fuste.
Also jet skiing in Correlejo harbour, very well supervised and a whole CD of pics offered at the end.
Swam on beach in the dunes near Riu hotels. Lovely clean turquoise water.

Went to Los Lobos island, great glass-bottomed boat with all round visibility.

Long drive down to Morro Jable and Jandia beaches, probably great in high summer for swimming but we bought ice-creams, swapped our hire car which had developed a fault on the trip down, and drove straight back, hard to understand why so many people recommend it - soulless. Drove through the volcanos in the south, terrific views westwards.

The author of this review went to Fuerteventura on
Tuesday 25th November 2008 for 7 days

Weather : We had 7 days great weather with only 2 afternoons which clouded pver.
The temperature was around 72 degees all week but when in the sun and out of the wind felt much warmer. got a great tan.

Holiday : We have just returned from our 3rd winter break at this hotel.
Once again the whole holiday has been great.
We were welcomed with a bottle of Champagne in our room as returning guests. Not a great deal in an all inclusive hotel but it shows some thought has gone into it. We requested (by e-mail) a room in a certain area of the hotel and got exactly the one I asked for. (7301 great views of sea pool area and coast line towards sotavento beach.)I posted a review of this hotel 2 years ago and was amazed when I read some of the reviews on this and other sites regarding the refurbishment of the pool areas. I found that it was done in such a way that it caused little or no problem. There is so much space around the pool area that you can be away from any work area as these were closed off areas anyway.
This hotel is open all year round so how people expect this routine maintenance to be carried out is beyond me.
The food is varied and very good it offers a wide range and caters for all tastes.
People have also commented on how the Germans seem to dominate the place, they are the majority but are not any different than anyone else on holiday there.
There is an area at the bottom end of the pool areas that is sectioned off and is designated as a naturist area. There is also a sauna and steam room for guests in this area. No one bothers if you go in there keep you shorts or bathing costume on, but some protocol is expected.(sit or lie on a towel with feet on it as well, to absorb sweat) I feel this should be stated at the welcome meeting to save any embarrassment.
The walk to Jandia is fantastic along the beach. You can feed the chipmunks along the way.
Jandia is a resort that caters mainly for Germans but a bar with a beer is a bar with a beer.
The entertainment in the hotel this year was better than last with a Drifters tribute, Tropicana dancers and a comedy Acrobat troop that were good, we gave the Animation teams efforts a miss and enjoyed a beer in the Coco Loco Bar (thanks Eric)
This hotel is great for anyone looking to chill out and relax for a week. I would not think it would suit teenagers looking for some lively entertainment, but for a winter break it fits the bill to a tee.

Places Recommended : Jandia village and Morro Jable
