"Where do I start… me and my family have just returned from our third successive year visiting this beautiful resort. From the moment we arrived at the hotel, the welcoming staff went out of their way to make this a special holiday you won’t forget. The hotel rooms are immaculate, we stayed in the Royal Level family area where we had a spacious apartment style room with a sea view. The friendly lady who greeted us at reception was very helpful on checking us in and advising which restaurants, bars and activities were included within the ‘all inclusive’ package, as this is a large complex and there are many to choose from. On arrival we headed to the ‘La Perlita’ beach side cafe/restaurant where we had pizzas as a mid afternoon snack - very tasty. There was a wide variety to choose from on this menu, as well as a gelato bar for the ice cream lovers. Our favourite restaurant (where we ate at every day) was the Terra Sana for breakfast, dinner and tea. Breakfast was delicious with everything you could possibly want from the buffet, as well as omelettes and sandwiches that could be specifically requested and delivered to the table. Tea, coffee and juice orders were also taken on arrival and brought to the table. For lunch there was the option to order from the menu (which included all 3 courses if desired) with an abundance of choices including burgers, sandwiches, salads, fresh fish etc. However, we mostly opted once again for the buffet as there were always plentiful options and we didn’t want to miss out!! For the evening buffet there was a different theme each night - including Canarian, Mexican, Asian etc and every evening there was something new and exciting to be discovered within this delicious restaurant buffet, something to please everyone. This is truly the best food I’ve ever had, and I would like to shout out all the wonderful staff including the chefs as well as the super friendly waiters and waitresses who went above and beyond to provide everything so efficiently and always with a smile. On our last evening I was presented with the most beautiful drink, recommended to me by one of the kind waitresses. We opted to eat at the Italian speciality restaurant one evening where we enjoyed a 3 course set menu, lovely food and plenty of freedom within the set menu to opt for whichever pizza/pasta dish you wanted. There are other speciality restaurants available to book, including a Mexican and Brazilian which we didn’t try during our stay. During the day we took part in some of the hotel entertainment activities including cocktail making and an Aloe Vera workshop - thank you to James for being such an affable host and getting everyone involved, it was really fun to do something different during our stay. We would also enjoy a mid morning coffee in the ‘La Goleta’ cafe/bar as this was located near to the Royal Level Family area - where our room was located. I would particularly recommend the ‘frappe’ which was a cool and refreshing coffee drink, especially enjoyed on a hot sunny day (which is every day when you’re in the Canaries!!). We mostly used the Adults Only pool area which was always spotlessly maintained, with plenty of sun loungers and towels available for use. A final recognition would be to the staff working in the Royal Level Pool Bar both day and evening, crafting the most incredible cocktails for everyone to enjoy. In particular the two gentlemen (apologies as I don’t know their names) working the bar in the evening who went above and beyond to accommodate everyone, one of which we recognised from the previous year of staying here. Even the little details like blankets and heaters for when it got ever so slightly chillier in the evening, everything had been so thoughtfully considered. We would spend the evenings following our meal sitting in the stylish decor, enjoying our drinks whilst watching the entertainment. The evening entertainment differed from performer to performer each night, including Soul and Motown just to name a few, always great vibes! Overall, I simply cannot fault anything with this hotel, every detail had been accounted for, whether it’s quality of food and drink, customer service, entertainment, all the way down to the interior design of the hotel. As a family we have had so many happy stays here and we are always so sad to leave, but look forward to hopefully coming back in the years to come. This is testament to the wonderful staff who work tirelessly to ensure everyone has a pleasant and relaxing stay. Thank you so much Barcelo Fuerteventura for another wonderful holiday! :)"
