Iberostar Palace Fuerteventura

Just returned from a two week stay at this hotel and had a very relaxing break. Firstly, the reception staff were very friendly and happy to help . We were taken to our room via a porter and made to feel very special. He even popped in and got us a bottle of champagne as a welcome. We upgraded to a side sea view room and we were not disappointed, our room number was 1048 ground floor with beautiful views. The animation team were very friendly and if there was activities around the pool, always made everyone welcome. The main buffet restaurant was on the same level as the hotel bar, there was always plenty of choice. My only complaint was that I had chicken one lunch time from the counter where the chefs cook it for you and it was still pink in the middle ( luckily I didn’t eat it). I did make the waitress aware and she apologised to me. The pool snack bar which done tapas was nice for a change sometimes ( at lunch time). However, one time I ate from there with my partner and I was extremely ill starting with stomach cramps in the late afternoon then was ill all evening. The only thing I ate different was the prawn on top of the prawn salad. Just just be aware! This is the only reason I have dropped a point for this hotel! The Japanese restaurant was great we throughly enjoyed the experience. We also ate in the evening at the restaurant by the pool ( sorry can’t remember the name). This was a taster menu , however there was no menu at the table so couldn’t even tell you what we ate 😂. There was no choice / or we weren’t given a choice the food just got brought out to us. The hotel is about a 20 minute walk to the shops and a 35 minute walk from the sweet little morro Jable. The beach is fantastic , clean and beautiful blue sea. However, be warned there are naked Germans bathing on the beach. Not always in the designated area! Which personally if I had children with me, would have put me off.

I stayed with my teenage daughter in a swim up room for the most relaxing 11 night stay. The room was excellent, kept wonderfully clean by the hard working staff. Great to have our own pool loungers on the terrace and a short walk to the huge beach through the stunning salt marshes. Great food for breakfast and dinner, the best selection of vegetarian and vegan options we’ve found so far and the staff were so kind and friendly. I can’t remember all the names, and all the staff were so lovely and accommodating but a special thank you to Alex and Anais who made our evening mealtimes particularly enjoyable! Thanks also to the reception staff, especially Itahisa for helping us with a late checkout so we could enjoy our last day. We hope to return!
