Barceló Fuerteventura Mar

Location: great. Near airport, shops, bars and on lovely beach. Room - clean but don't like having to pay to use the safe. Our patio had no privacy between our neighbours and the hot tub was more like a bath tub (for one) which you had to fill up before use. The top AI package was good as included a bar at the marina and free access to the spa where you could relax around the pool without feeling like a sardine. Lomi lomi massage was not cheap but it was excellent. Food - as vegans, this hotel had the least terrible reviews on Fuerta Ventura which is why we chose it. Signage was good but choice was very limited. Could order in advance for the whole week some vegan alternatives (tofu, sausages, fake chicken nuggets, vege burger) which we did. Sausages and nuggets were actually excellent! There was at least plant based milk and yoghurt available without asking. Evening entertainment was good but bar as understaffed so service slow. Bar by pool was well staffed but some bartenders were lacking knowledge on cocktails and on several occasions the glasses smelt dirty (so we always asked for plastic ones). Overall service was good though and friendly and they did try their best to help us vegans!

Poor accessibility in and around site and in rooms. We requested a stool in the shower as the cubicle is large (good) but for disabled people like us, we cannot balance and wash properly in this size cubical. It never came! Ramps are narrow and hidden in corners. The main bar and outside bar are set up on increasing height steps. Impossible to carry drinks down them. Food was very poor. Almost as bad as 1970s food. Only one choice of white wine at main bar-undrinkable. The estate was like enormous blocks of flats. Not pretty and too far to walk anywhere.

Nice place just many old people do not much going on at night time in the area if you under 40’ . Service should be faster at the bar and more stuff around buffet areas to clean up .

Lovely atmosphere, helpful professional staff. Very well presented and well maintained spacious hotel. Lots of entertainment in the evening and at pool during the day. Nice being next to the beach and right in the town at the same time.

Nice stay Very nice hotel, but only stayed one night, so harder to judge.

Very relaxing place Great location next to beach and very handy for airport. Lovely bed and pillows. Great selection of food at mealtimes.
