5 Star Fuerteventura Holidays

Jayne Warwicker

Just back from a week here. Beautiful hotel, lovely location but most of all, wonderful staff. All inclusive in an ocean view room (definitely worth the small rise in cost to get this, view of Lobos and Lanzarote and lovely balcony). Room service was exemplary, spa lovely and lounge relaxing with great view of the ocean. Only advice I would give is to vegans; let them know you are coming if all inclusive, and book the A la carte resteraunts in the evening to ensure choice. The Japanese resteraunt, even for vegans was AMAZING! Will definitely be back.

My partner and I stayed here for five nights and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Upon arrival, we were pleasantly surprised with a complimentary room upgrade to a sea-view room, which was lovely. A kind gentleman helped with our luggage and guided us to our room, which was especially appreciated given how large the hotel is. The room was exceptionally clean, spacious, and very comfortable, we really couldn’t fault it. We especially appreciated the thoughtful touches, such as fresh towels and bedsheets each morning, and the curtains being drawn with chocolates left on our pillows each evening. We stayed on a bed and breakfast basis and were spoiled for choice every morning. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and breakfast quickly became something we genuinely looked forward to each day. We also dined at the hotel on two occasions. Once at the Japanese restaurant and once at the Mediterranean buffet. Both experiences were very enjoyable, with delicious food and exceptional service from the staff. We were looking for a relaxing break, and that’s exactly what we got. The pool area was beautiful, and we never had any trouble finding sunbeds each day. We also visited the spa once and only wished we had made more use of it during our stay. Overall, we had a fantastic experience. Every member of staff we encountered was welcoming, friendly, and helped make our stay feel special. If we’re looking for another relaxing holiday in the future, we would certainly consider returning. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Good resort in excellent location. Do not expect a truly luxury stay there - it is one of Hyatt’s „luxury factories”. The service is good. Food was great, drinks ok - rather basic selection. There are many restaurants but only 1 or 2 of them are opened every day on top of regular buffet and require reservation, which at this price point is unacceptable. Bar was very crowded in the evening as there is only one open. So overall good stay at corporate-style resort. Nothing special, luxurious or unique - just solid.

My wife and I have just got back from a 4 night stay here. Its exceeded our expectations. The service from all of the staff was first class. We hardly even stepped out of our taxi and were greeting by David who had 2 glasses of sparkling wine waiting for us on arrival. We were even checked in to our room hours earlier than we should have been which was a big bonus. We had a small issue with noise in our room due to some kind of fan that backed on to the wall. The second I brought the issue up with the staff we were quickly moved rooms. The staff here honestly cannot do enough for you. Regarding getting around, I wouldn't really class this as being "out of the way" like some of the reviews point out. Its literally less than 5 minutes in a taxt to the local town and shipping mall. I noticed 1 review claiming the hotel is tired and in need of updating, which i honestly couldn't disagree with any more. The hotel is spotless and in my opinion luxurious. The entertainment in the evening is excellent. We particularly likes the Spanish band as did all the other guests who were scalping along to the music. We would 100% stay in this hotel again and would recommend to anyone looking for a luxurious hotel stay.

We booked a room with terrace facing the ocean, and got just what we requested. Very relaxing waking up to that view every morning. The breakfast buffet was excellent, so many choices, especially the fresh fruit juices. Huge dining hall, where they also serve the dinner buffet. What we loved most were the evenings in the lobby. Every night, live bands played acoustic sets that created the perfect laid‑back vibe. We ended each day there, sipping a couple of drinks while being serenaded by beautiful music. It was the perfect way to unwind together. Honestly, we couldn’t have asked for anything more relaxing.

We stayed at this hotel for 7 days in order to relax and enjoy the calm atmosphere. The venue itself is peaceful, modern, chic, and absolutely sublime with its direct access to the beach. Our room was always clean and tidy, with housekeeping twice a day. The hotel offers many interesting activities, and I would especially like to mention the activity instructors! They are absolutely amazing—very professional, kind, and a real ray of sunshine. We had the pleasure of meeting Alberto and Nicola; they made our stay even more welcoming and are doing an incredible job. Seeing them every day made us so happy and was truly the cherry on top of the cake. Regarding the food, however, as a vegetarian I was quite disappointed. Of course, there was a large buffet, but many of the fruits and vegetables seemed to be frozen. For a 5-star hotel, I was hoping for much more freshness and more creativity when it comes to vegetarian alternatives. One small note about the spa: the pool felt a bit too cold at 29°C—maybe consider warming it up slightly! 😂 All in all, we enjoyed our stay, appreciated the friendly service, and would definitely recommend the hotel to our family and friends. And one last note: the activity instructors, housekeeping staff, and restaurant service team deserve a raise—they truly do their absolute best every day.

5-star hotel not meeting expectations – set your expectations at 3-star and you will be fine 😊 Stayed here for one week (Februay -25) with my three daughters, occupying two double rooms on a half-board basis. First impressions are good. The reception area is nicely decorated and gives a proper 5-star feeling when you arrive. The surroundings are also beautiful, with a truly stunning beach just outside the hotel. Just outside the hotel area there is a small shopping area, but unfortunately it feels a bit depressing and offers very little of interest or value. The rooms are clean and functional but somewhat run down. They include a minibar and TV, and while the furnishing is fairly basic for a hotel claiming five stars, the beds are comfortable and the rooms serve their purpose well. The buffet is of medium quality with limited variation. After a few days it becomes quite repetitive, and eating more than half board here would likely make you quite tired of the food quickly. The restaurant space itself is also not particularly pleasant. Outdoor seating is limited, and the indoor dining room is noisy and somewhat stressful — it reminded us more of a school canteen than a relaxed 5-star dining experience. There are two alternative à la carte restaurants. The food there is actually quite decent, especially the teppanyaki experience, which we enjoyed. Unfortunately, they run the same menu all week, meaning you realistically can only visit once during a one-week stay. The staff are generally friendly and positive. However, many seem relatively inexperienced. Small mistakes and mishaps are fairly common, often due to language barriers, but they are usually handled with a smile. On the last night of our stay we experienced a leak through the ceiling caused by a faulty AC system. The dripping woke us up at around 5 a.m., and we spent the early morning hours cleaning the floor using towels provided by reception. Compensation? None whatsoever. We were instead offered extra attention if we ever decided to stay again. In fairness, most hotels would likely have offered some form of compensation for an incident like this. This hotel has some positive aspects: the beach is fantastic, the rooms are comfortable, and the staff are friendly. However, the overall experience does not really live up to what you would expect from a 5-star hotel. Come here, but adjust your expectations. If you expect a 3-star experience in a nice location, you will likely have a pleasant stay. Just make sure you’re not paying a 5-star price, and you’ll probably be happy with your choice.

Gorgeous hotel with a wonderful location right by the beach. The staff were so friendly and helpful and made us feel very at home. There were a couple of tiny issues with the room but these were quickly fixed for us. The food was excellent. Overall would definitely recommend.

Brilliant holiday – highly recommend! We’ve just finished a fantastic stay at Iberostar Fuerteventura Palace and honestly couldn’t fault a thing. Our swim-out room was a real highlight – spacious, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The housekeeping team did a great job, with the room kept spotless and serviced twice daily, which was a lovely touch. The food throughout the hotel was excellent, with plenty of choice every day so you never get bored. The two à la carte restaurants were a great bonus and definitely worth trying during your stay. What really sets this place apart is the staff. Every single person we came across was welcoming, attentive, and quick to help – especially when it came to drinks service! Special mention to ALOU – absolute legend! Always smiling, great sense of humour, and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. Really appreciated him sorting the football for us too! We’re leaving with nothing but positive memories and would happily return again in the future.

A lovely hotel. service excellent. Beautiful view of beach. Food/drinks good quality. We would definitely return. Loved the beach bag in the rooms for towels, a really clever idea. All staff are very friendly and hardworking.

Gareth Nash

A great hotel and a great holiday but special mention to the staff in Lemon Fish (Jose, Cristina, and Sara) who made us and our son feel so welcome and accommodated us at short notice. Thankyou!

We loved this place. We went here for our daughter's second birthday. It was so beautiful and relaxing. It was everything that we wanted. We were very happy with our vacation. The location is so beautiful. It is far away from the airport and you typically have to rent a car but that's fine. You don't have to pay or struggle for parking. We ventured around during the day because it is close to the zoo and some other small towns so having a car was great. The beach is really striking and had we not been traveling with our daughter we probably would have tried wind surfing. The hotel itself is beautiful and very well done. The pool is awesome. It is heated. You are not allowed to bring flotation devices, except for wearable ones for children. Sad but for the best, because it would ruin the vibe. The children's area was nice. The only thing a tad annoying is that they are quick with taking the towels. We had ours taken while we were in the pool once. The room was very nice. It looks like in the pictures. I had two small things I would improve, the pillows were a bit too big and the bed a smidge soft but that is a personal preference thing. The rooms were very nice. I liked the food in the restaurants and the service was excellent. There is a high chance that we will stay again.

We have now stayed at Paradisus by Meliá Fuerteventura for the second time, and once again the hotel exceeded our expectations in every possible way. Our first stay in September 2025 impressed us so much that we already knew we had to return and we are very happy to say that our second stay was just as exceptional. The hotel itself is stunning. The location directly by the ocean is absolutely beautiful, the entire resort is stylish, modern, and extremely well maintained, and the atmosphere throughout the property feels calm, luxurious, and welcoming at the same time. What truly makes this hotel special, however, is the people who work here. Throughout our entire stay, we experienced outstanding hospitality, professionalism, attentiveness, and genuine warmth from every department. From reception and housekeeping to the restaurants, bars, and Guest Experience Team, everyone consistently made us feel welcome, valued, and genuinely cared for. One thing that stood out to us in particular was the incredible attention to detail. Even our food intolerances were remembered and taken into consideration at every visit without us needing to repeat them constantly. Small details like this make a huge difference and show how guest-oriented the entire team truly is. During our stay, we unfortunately experienced a minor medical issue, and the level of care, compassion, and support we received afterwards was absolutely remarkable. Help was offered immediately, staff regularly checked on our well-being, and everyone showed genuine kindness and empathy. Situations like this reveal the true quality of a hotel, and Paradisus Fuerteventura handled it exceptionally well. The gastronomic experience was also outstanding. The restaurants offer excellent food, a great atmosphere, and consistently high service quality. Mascalzone in particular became our absolute favorite restaurant during this stay. What we appreciate most about Paradisus by Meliá Fuerteventura is that luxury here never feels artificial or distant. Instead, the hotel creates an atmosphere where guests genuinely feel comfortable, relaxed, appreciated, and emotionally connected to the place. The fact that we are already planning our next stay says everything. Thank you to the entire team for making this vacation so unforgettable. Paradisus by Meliá Fuerteventura is without question one of the best hotels we have ever visited.

★★★★★ We returned to Paradisus by Meliá Fuerteventura after our first stay in September 2025, and this second visit confirmed exactly why we wanted to come back. Once again, the experience was exceptional, exceeding our expectations through outstanding service, genuine hospitality, and an atmosphere that made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The hotel impresses at first sight with its unique beachfront location. The combination of Fuerteventura’s stunning natural surroundings, the modern yet elegant architecture, and the high-quality design of the entire resort creates an atmosphere where you can relax from the very first moment and leave everyday life behind. However, what we would particularly like to highlight is not only the beautiful resort or the excellent gastronomy, but above all the people who bring this hotel to life every day. Throughout our entire stay, we were welcomed everywhere with extraordinary friendliness, attentiveness, and warmth. Whether at the reception, in the restaurants and bars, in the guest experience area, or by the housekeeping team, we were always greeted with a smile, genuine appreciation, and a clear desire to make our stay as pleasant as possible. What sets this hotel apart from many other luxury resorts, in our opinion, is the fact that hospitality is not merely part of the company philosophy but is genuinely lived and embodied by the staff. You do not feel like a room number or just one of many guests, but rather like a welcome and valued visitor whose well-being truly matters to the team. We were especially impressed by the exceptional care and willingness to help after a foot injury occurred during our stay. Assistance was offered immediately, our well-being was checked on regularly, and every possible form of support was provided. This was not only professional service but, above all, genuine compassion and sincere human kindness. It is in situations like these that the true quality of a hotel becomes evident, and Paradisus by Meliá Fuerteventura demonstrated impressively the high standards by which service and guest care are practiced here. We were equally delighted once again by the gastronomy. The quality of the food is outstanding, the selection is varied, and the presentation is of the highest standard. Particularly impressive is the consistently high quality maintained throughout the entire stay. Individual requests and dietary restrictions were always handled reliably and attentively, which is by no means something to be taken for granted and reflects a high level of professionalism. In addition, the entire resort offers a pleasant, relaxed, and at the same time refined atmosphere. Despite the size of the property, everything feels personal, warm, and welcoming. It is precisely this combination of luxury, professionalism, and humanity that makes the hotel so special to us. There are many beautiful hotels in the world. However, only a few manage to make you look forward to returning while you are still there. Paradisus by Meliá Fuerteventura is undoubtedly one of those special places for us. The fact that this was already our second stay and that we are already planning our next visit is probably the greatest compliment one can give a hotel. Anyone looking for a resort that stands out not only because of its location and facilities but above all because of its exceptional hospitality, genuine warmth, and outstanding service quality will find exactly that here. Our heartfelt thanks go to the entire team at Paradisus by Meliá Fuerteventura. Every one of you contributed to making this holiday unforgettable for us. We are already looking forward to our next visit.

Excellent hotel with Fantastic location , right behind of the Playa de Sotavento de Jandía. Paradise for windsurf/kitesurf lover. Very nice people here and provide good coverage during our stays.
