Hotel very good. The pool area was really good, obviously as with anywhere the beds were reserved but there were still plenty available. The rooms were very good and the beds were really comfortable. Our two children slept in a double sofa bed which again was very comfy.

The entertainment was quite good although we went out most nights to the Capitan a small bar across the road with a happy hour. The drinks in this bar are cheap anyway so the happy hour is a bonus.

The food in the hotel was good with lots of choice, what lets the hotel down in our opinion is the fact that the restaurant could be better organised, things ran out and took time to be replaced and we hardly ever had any plates/dishes removed throughout each meal, the table ended up cluttered with plates from starter through to desert, but the food was nice with plenty of choice. I would definately recommend this hotel.

This hotel holiday surpassed our expectations, and was one of the best value for money holidays we have ever had.

We went all inclusive, but not through First Choice who wanted

The Barcelo Fuerteventura was an excellent choice for oue family holiday. the rooms(for spanish hotel rooms) were a great size. One seven foot bed and a double sofa bed for the children, and having air conditioning was great. the bath and toilet was separate from the vanity area and hairdryer, which if you are a family of 4 like us was very handy as it meant one person didn't take the bathroom for ages.There is a small fridge in the room(which can be stocked as a mini bar if you fill in the form)and although not good for ice, it was ok for water etc.The rooma are cleaned daily and towels and bedding will be changed as often as you want. The pool area was excellent and very clean. The only thing was people leave towels before breakfast, so although I don't to, we had to do the same. The food was excellent every day,and the choice was vast.There is also a micrewave in the dining room that I saw one lady use everyday to steralise all her baby bottles, which I thought was a good idea.All the staff in the horel were great, spoke quite good english, and were very helpful if we needed anything.The hotel entertainment was also very good. Different shows every night and they were all really good. The prices in the hotel wern't too bad. 3euros for a beer, 2euros for a coke,fanta etc. only 6 euro for a bottle of the house wine which was really very nice. Although we were half board, we changed to all incusive the second week- 18 euro for adults, 9 euro for children, which was great.there were a lot of drinks, cocktails etc that didn't used to be available on all incusive that changed to being on it the day we changed-lucky for us!! At 18 euro(around

The room was a good size though adults and kids beds very close together so we went to bed when they did. Everything the brochure promised, clean, spacious hotel, plenty to do for adults and kids. The restaurant serves buffet style food with plenty of choice. 2 good size pools, with areas for young children and lots of sunbeds. Staff were friendly and helpful. Entertainment was excellent. Only drawback to holiday was that beach was sandy, but a bit stony into the water and you had to wear shoes to walk in the sea.

The hotel itself is large, extremely clean and fantastic, the location couldn't be better, literally 2 minutes from the beach, although not the best beach on the island. You would need to go up to the north or the south. The pool areas were fantastic, there are two big pools and a children's pool. The pool next to the children's pool is heated to a certain degree. Not very warm but much warmer than the other pools.

The food was excellent, we really couldn't fault the service in the restaurant or the quality of the food, although the deserts were pretty much the same every day.

Whether you are in a couple, have kids, young or old, there is something for everyone at this hotel.

The beach is a 2 min walk and you can rent 2 beds and a parasol for 7.50 Euros a day.It can get very windy on the beach, bearing in mind it is the windy isle.

Entertainment at the hotel was suppose to be the best than any other Hotel, we didn't stay in the hotel of an evening much as we found a bar over the road which had happy hour 8.30pm-10.30pm buy one drink get one free, good value for money!!

The resort is clean, and there is plenty to do for all types of party. It is quieter than the other islands, but there are plenty of bars to keep you entertained.

You do hear aircraft flying over as the airport is only 10 mins away, but apart from the busy days (Weds & Sat) they
hardly bothered us. Great to sit and watch them come in over the beach and around the pool in the daytime, but no flights at night.

We would recommend this holiday to anyone, Fuerteventura is a great Island and Caleta ideal for a perfect relaxing holiday, no hesitation in going back again whatsoever.

The hotel was very clean and spacious. Food got a bit boring second week, but was plentiful.

Hotel was right on the beach, small town, safe for the children (two 12, one 15).

Before travelling some worries about 'Butlins' (yes I have been there)type entertainment. There was no need there was something for everyone.

The rooms were very nice and kept clean, but 3 things were broken - the shower head, the toilet flush and the washing line. Not what you expect in an almost new hotel.

There was a good variety of food in the Restaurant but it was never hot and had to be heated in the microwave. There were too few staff in the restaurant and so the tables were not cleared and relaid quickly enough for the amount of people using it, we went at various times but it was always crowded. I think they need 2 restaurants at least.

I can't really comment on the entertainment as every night when we got there after dinner it was full, often with people from other hotels, I think there should be a voucher system for entry to Hotel guests before others are let in.

I have complained to Barcelo but have not had any reply!

This was our second year at this hotel.
Booked through Security Travel both times. Excellent rates. Contacted the hotel via e-mail and arranged to book into the same room as we had in 2002, it was ideal, ground floor next to the pool. Food always hot and plentiful. Choice of hot or continental breakfast. Champagne at breakfast too. Lunch available either from pool restaurant or in main buffet restaurant. Evening meals in main buffet restaurant. Went half board 1st year, but last year upgraded with the hotel to all inclusive. This was a great saving, especially with 2 x 16 year old teenage boys. The resort is safe. Through the gardens you leave through a locked gate (use your roomkey) to the promenade and beach, and from the front of the hotel, turn immediately left and you are in the shopping centre. Take a night out and enjoy the italian in the square, superb pasta. Also visit the Dome pub, couple of great english people run it, and if you get chatty enough they'll let you watch want you want on Sky TV while you're having a drink. Great Blues bar in the centre of the commercial area, make great cocktails. However, drinks generally cheaper in the Hotel than elsewhere, but if, like my husband you like a decent pint, then you must head for the Dome. Always find it difficult to find a hotel that suits all, that's us and the boys, but this one certainly does. Evening entertainment great, the shows that are the best are the ones put on by the Hotel's own animacion team. If you are intending to visit this splendid, clean hotel, ensure you make friends with the waiter Mario, tip him early on in the holiday, and you will find him most attentive. Oh, also take a trip to Puerto de la Rosario if you want to buy some good quality cheap clothes. Although it's the capital, you have to search for the shops, but the boutiques when you do find them are great - great prices too - make sure you leave 1/2 suitcase free for the goodies you take back. Am really finding it difficult to find a location this year to match up to the Barcelo Fuerteventura.

The hotel is brilliant I can't believe some people are saying it's not. It's very clean and the food is great.

The location is also great just walk out of the hotel onto the beach what more could you ask for.
The staff were very friendly and the entertainment next to none.

We used to go for our dinner then go for a walk to the habour at night time or go for a round of crazy golf then go back for the entainment.

The two very large swimming pools were very clean and warm. I would have no problem going back there again.
The holiday in our opinion was worth every penny.
