Excellent in every way! Just returned from the most wonderful holiday.
The hotel is in a fantastic location, set right at the beach and 2 minutes walk in to the small town area and shops.
The rooms are huge, we managed 1 queen size bed (enormous!) 1 double sofa bed and 1 cot. The bathrooms are great. The sink and vanity area is separate to the bath and toilet so if one of you are in the shower, the other can get ready still. We had a mini fridge in the room which was great for keeping water cool and chocolate for our girls.
The food in the hotel was absolutely excellent, so many choices, everything was labelled in English as well, so you could see which to pick. You could return as many times as you liked! Needless to say the cream cakes were gorgeous. A bottle of house wine was 6 Euros which we thought was good value, seen as you paid 3 euros for a large beer. The food catered for all tastes, i.e. carvery, pasta, Chinese sometimes, fish, meats, and hundred of salads. We liked it because the children did not eat the typical chips, nuggets and beans. The hotel did similar things but much healthier and lots of pasta and vegetables for them the breakfast was equally fantastic.

The room was very clean with clean towels and linen. The only problem we had was a cockroach, but we only found the one. Asked for a spray, but never got one.
Great pool area with lots of beds and a good pool bar for drinks and snacks. Good job because the restaurant was very bad. Not enough staff and not friendly, cold food and not very fresh looking. Thank goodness for the Italian restaurant close by!
The daytime entertainment staff are very good and friendly, but we didn't take park in any activities, so can't comment. The evening entertainment was very poor, most of the time it was "The public entertaining the public"
We have stayed in loads of all inclusive and never had the drinks finish as 11.00pm, you can drink till 12.00, but you have to pay!! Also on your day of departure your all inclusive card expires at midday, not good if you have a late flight.
We would rate this as a 3* plus hotel, not 4*

I liked this hotel as it was modern and fairly clean.
The pools and sunbathing areas are pleasant and spacious. There were always plenty of beds available, but the hotel wasn't very busy mid-December.
Rooms were comfortable, with a quilt on the bed which was cozy. Floors were not cleaned properly and so shoes were needed to avoid filthy feet. Lovely bathroom area, but again not cleaned thoroughly, as I found someone

Quite disppointed really with the Barcelo.
Check in took ages as the lady dealing with us didn't understand English very well (she said that herself!).
We were there for New Year and had great expectations of the gala dinner. Nothing special - same as any other night -and we had paid extra for this meal.
Dining room staff - majority of them very nice and helpful.
Pool bar/restaurant - OK although it did take ages to get served, for the meal to arrive and then to get your bill and pay it.
Pool area - very nice - lots of beds - still even reserved with towels in December/January - couldn't beleive it.
Day time entertainment I think was operated by Italians and it was therefore only Italian people that seemed to either get asked to join in or who volunteered. Shame other nationalities didn't participate as the Italians all looked to be having a good time.
Evening entertainment was OK depending on what was on - you could pass an evening away in there and enjoy yourself.
The cleanliness of this hotel was appalling. Floors were filthy, dust on the furniture and TV in the room were never cleaned. Under the bed was obviously a no go area.
The balcony and table and chairs were never touched during the entire holiday. I cleaned the floor myself as we had our young son with us and you couldn't walk around barefoot or your feet would be filthy.
Windows in the corridors had cobwebs and cigarrette ends were never lifted. The floor and stairs in the public areas really do need a good scrub.
In general the hotel is huge but doesn't seem to have the staff numbers to match - as a result everything that you would expect of a hotel of this rating (and price!!!) falls a good bit short of the mark.

We went to the Barcelo Fuerteventura as we have been to Fuerteventura many times and have always wanted to stay there.
We booked the holiday 4 months in advance and were looking forward to it. We arrived on Wed 13th Oct 2004 and were disappointed from the 1st minute, I can

We used Holiday-truth.com as a guide prior to booking this hotel direct and booked flights via internet. We found the reviews very useful.
The hotel as an impressive entrance /reception by far the most impressive at the resort. Electronic keys open
doors and run air-con. Use phone card to keep air-con on whilst out of room keeps it cool for your return
This spacious hotel was generally clean to very clean and always tidy.
We booked half board but upgraded to all-inclusive (cheap)
A large variety of food available, never encountered problems with quality or quantity and enjoyed watching our 7 mth old trying the variety of fresh fruits each day. Good selection for all, with good clean high chairs and friendly staff.
It is situated at a (flat) central beach location the beach which is ok if manmade (was plenty of space)sandcastle builder (English) well worth a visit.
Hotel has large pools which we found better for the our baby.
The resort was fairly quiet and family friendly with a variety of shops, bars etc. most have live football etc.
The beach was generally tidy and clean and very easy to access from the hotel grounds. Just outside the grounds on the beachfront is a nice flat causeway, which was useful for "please go to sleep walks"
If you have a young family and prefer quiet location
look for rooms away from the play area or restaurant area block 2 or 3 I think was best. But if you request it direct they will book you into a quiet location.
We were impressed with the staff, from cleaners to reception management nice and helpful
The entertainment was pretty reasonable.The room was tidy and clean. The hotel provide both child & adult entertainment programmes. Although we didn

We went as a party of 4 consisting of myself, my boyfriend, his mum and his nephew. We were not looking for a clubbing holiday but we wanted some where that we could enjoy without getting bored.
The Hotel Barcelo Fuerteventura is an amazing hotel in a brilliant location. The pools are all well looked after and the rooms and dining areas are maintained fairly.
The staff at the Barcelo are lovely and a small tip to your waiter in the evening will ensure that you are never left without a drink whilst watching the entertainment.
The entertainment is o.k but I have seen better, other than games for adults and children in the day there is nothing else to entertain you, some music would of been nice.
The weather was absolutely wonderful with a gorgeous breeze(but dont let that fool you into thinking that you won't burn!!).
All in all we had an amazing holiday and would definately return to another Barcelo hotel in the future. In my opinion if you have booked to go to the Hotel Barcelo Fuerteventura then you really have got something to look forward to!

We stayed in the hotel last September and it was so lovely that we are going back again on the 27th of this month. I thought the hotel was great value for money and that there was lots to do for everyone.
If you have a family this is by far in my book one of the best hotels you could go.
