A totally relaxing holiday. The garden and pool areas were beautiful and well maintained, and the heated pools and jacuzzis were especially welcome in cooler weather. The interior of the hotel is tastefully decorated, though it does not quite feel truly luxurious.
The room was comfortable and well soundproofed, with a lovely balcony and views, although storage space was limited, making it difficult to unpack properly.
The staff were fantastic and attentive, doing everything they could to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The Reserve pool and dining areas were highlights, and the hotel also offers a well-equipped gym.
The thematic restaurants were enjoyable, and the Gastro Hall offered a wide variety of food. Overall, the cuisine was good, with a strong selection of healthy options.
The beach is stunning, but due to the frequent wind it is better suited to water sports than to spending a long, relaxed day by the sea. Evening entertainment was good, but not intrusive if you chose not to attend.
Overall, the experience was great, but for a hotel positioning itself as a luxury property, it felt somewhat overpriced relative to what was offered.

We booked this hotel through Jet2 and secured a fantastic deal during the February half term. Although the hotel is fairly remote, it’s set in a truly stunning location right on the beach, with breathtaking views from the balconies.
From the moment we arrived, the service was excellent. Staff greeted us at the bus, took our luggage to our room, and offered us drinks while we checked in — a lovely start to the holiday.
The main pool is huge and absolutely beautiful. I was a little less impressed with the children’s pools, as the slides felt quite small, but our daughter still really enjoyed them. There wasn’t much daytime entertainment around the pool — just water spinning and yoga once a day — which actually suited us perfectly and made for a very relaxing atmosphere. I know some guests may prefer all-day activities, but we appreciated the calm. The pools were also warm enough to swim in comfortably in February.
There’s a great pool bar and restaurant nearby, and we hired cabanas on a few days, which was a nice treat. That said, it was generally easy to find a sunbed without any trouble.
We tried all of the restaurants and thought the food was good overall. However, reservations can be difficult to secure, which was surprising given that the restaurants often appeared half empty. On a very positive note, the cocktails throughout the hotel were excellent — freshly made each time and consistently high quality.
My only real complaint was the service at the Ginger Bar, which could be quite slow in the evenings. There were also a few occasions in the morning when no one was available to serve.
Our daughter absolutely loved the kids’ club and the children’s disco. The team running the club are outstanding — they genuinely care, put in tremendous effort, and go above and beyond to keep the children happy. They are a real asset to the hotel.
The evening entertainment was fairly underwhelming overall, with the exception of the circus group on Monday, who were fantastic. This is definitely an area that could be improved.
Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would happily recommend the hotel.

What can I say! If you are looking for a place to relax and DO NOTHING! This is a spectacular option! The beach is so long that you never get tired of walking around and jumping into the sea!
The view to the lagoon is magical and the room from the rooms are also perfect!!
Rooms are comfy and spacious!! The shower is exactly what you need 🚿
Food was outstanding!!! Specially MAHOS and the Reserve breakfast! OMG!
Service is insuperable they are all great from beginning to end! But shoutout for ADRIANA from receptions she is 5 ⭐ same as the girl from the Reserve Bar (sorry can’t remember her name but she was also excellent!)
Just as a suggestion to improve, maybe check on your cocktails because there are not always good, and don’t really taste as they usually do, piña colada and espresso martine are fine, but the rest needs some work, specially whiskey sour and margaritas…
You can see some empty spaces around the hotel that looked unfinished or a bit unattended but, nothing to worry about.
Was definitely an excellent experience and we will be trying anther by Meliá for sure.

If you are looking for peace, luxury, and breathtaking nature, this is the perfect choice. We previously stayed at a competing hotel in Las Gaviotas (just 15km away), which offered a completely different vibe—bustling with crowds, shops, and busy promenades. This hotel, however, is a haven of calm and serenity. It really depends on what you prefer, but for those seeking quiet, I highly recommend it.
Key Highlights:
Better Weather & More Sun: A fascinating geographical detail we noticed is that this location gets significantly more sunshine. While Las Gaviotas often traps clouds for longer periods due to the nearby mountain ridges (an orographic effect where clouds stall over the higher terrain), the area around Paradisus remains clear and bright. It makes a real difference in your daily sun exposure.
The Tides: The location is unique due to the incredible tides. Watching the dramatic ebb and flow of the ocean right in front of the hotel, creating a vast lagoon, is a mesmerizing natural spectacle.
René Egli Center: A huge plus for sports enthusiasts is the proximity to the famous René Egli center. Having such a world-class facility for windsurfing and kitesurfing right there is a major advantage.
The Service: The staff is incredibly professional and kind. This was not our first stay, and we were pleasantly surprised to be recognized despite the number of guests. It’s a personal touch that makes a huge difference.
The Reserve Premium: we opted for The Reserve and strongly suggest the upgrade. The access to a private, quiet relaxation zone and the spectacular views from the room are worth the extra cost.
Point for Improvement:
The only downside is the newly renovated evening entertainment hall. It feels too large, too bright, and lacks a cozy atmosphere. We noticed many guests walking in and quickly leaving because it doesn't feel inviting for a relaxing evening. It’s a bit too "cold" for such a premium hotel.
Summary:
Despite the minor issue with the entertainment venue, we definitely recommend this hotel for those who appreciate a touch of luxury, true peace, and better weather. It is truly a unique spot on the map of Fuerteventura.

This place opened 4 months ago after Melia bought and renovated it, so I expect things will improve even more over time. We had a great stay here, our first time trying out both 5 star and all inclusive. The service was great from everyone. The food was sometimes great but not always, sometimes just too dry, very uneven quality. You’d notice that the same food from the buffé was often served at the restaurants (but not always). The buffé had a big amount of food, however many things was dry or tasteless, personally i’d rather see quality over quantity. I also think the buffé and food in general was too repetitive. The drinks was sometimes not properly prepared in the shack bar, a classic margarita would come without salt, when asked for salt they said they did not have salt (which 5 star hotel has no salt???), but from Kanna and the bar in the lobby the drinks was great. I do think there should be much more toddler friendly dishes in the restaurants. Also the playground should have much more things to play with for kids, and a gate to make it safe. The lifeguard at the child pool was checking her phone instead of the children in the pool!! That is totally unacceptable (people drown quietly).
