Iberostar Waves Playa Gaviotas All Inclusive

This was a lovely 4star hotel. The food, staff and facilities were good. The hotel is in a fantastic location on the beach. There were some bad points however 1. The heated pool was closed on 3 successive days due to faeces in the pool. Obviously this was not a fault of the hotel but the clientele on holiday. We didn’t spend time in the pool after that and the other pool was so cold we didn’t use it either. 2. Also we saw one child without clothing in the poolside cafeteria area getting himself a drink and the same child weeing in the pool THERE SHOULD BE SIGNAGE REGARDING NO CHILDREN IN OR AROUND THE CAFE/POOL AREAS WITHOUT ADEQUATE SWIMWEAR 3. There wasn’t any hand wash in the men’s toilets next to the gym

We booked star prestige for our first visit to this hotel, having experienced star prestige previously in Lanzarote. No big deal but check in was at the main reception not at the star prestige check in desk. our room was big, lovely sea facing balcony but was incredibly tired looking, in need of some updating and TLC. The star prestige pool area and bar was excellent, plenty of sun beds, great snacks available and fabulous choice of drinks. The food in the main restaurant offered plenty of choice and general quality was good but the meat selection was very repetitive, pork, pork and more pork! The food being grilled was always hot but at times other dishes on the hot buffet were luke warm. Snack bar by main pools, great choice for lunch. Good for a relaxing week away from work, but I don’t think we would return, Iberostar Playa Blanca offers far superior rooms and quality dining.

Second time here this year and still rate this hotel very highly. Staff really good and very helpful (Sabrina at reception is a star). Great food choices and the lunch time poolside restaurant is very good if you dont fancy the main buffet. Could fo with a few more premium drinks on the list but still quite good. Enjoyed sufficiently to book up for January again.

Excellent staff very well trained Excellent hotel at times the food was exceptional Will certainly return this was my fourth visit On reflection one of the most impressive aspects was how efficient and helpful the staff were Maybe a bit more seafood in the main restaurant as prawns were few and far between

We have been to Fuerteventura at least ten times over the last twenty years, usually for a winter sunshine break, and to date have always stayed at the same hotel -Melia Fuerteventura, Playa Sotavento, which clearly we have enjoyed. The hotel was unavailable this year due to refurbishment and so we thought we would try somewhere different. This turned out to be a great decision as the Iberostar Waves Playa Gaviotas proved to be an excellent alternative. Great location, wonderful vista, excellent accommodation and superb food and drink. Staff were extremely polite and helpful and the hotel itself exceptionally clean. My wife and I enjoyed our stay so much that we have definitely added Iberostar Waves Playa Gaviotas to our ‘return to’ list.

A very good all inclusive family hotel. The good: - the recently renovated rooms are comfortable and nice. - great food, varied and with nice quality, loved the grilled meat and fish. - plentiful options for drinks - great views - good gym, recent machines, well equipped - great wifi, both speed and coverage - good service from the staff everywhere - good programme for the kids The points for improvement: - be aware that pools are not heated so water is quite cold during Feb-March season (one of the pools was also out of order for the duration of our stay) - the animation programme has decreased in quality compared with our previous stay here (there is enough bingo during the day not to add it to the evening programme as well 🙄) If one of the pools would have had a better water temperature I would have rated our stay 5 stars, it really is a very good option for a family holiday. Overall = 8,5/10
