Overall Ratings & Reviews Barceló Fuerteventura Mar

The hotel is beautiful and has beautiful pools. All areas are nice and tidy. Really enjoyed my time there.

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.

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

Lovely place!

Great with kids and for playing in the pools. Only one out of two big pools are heated though. Not enough deck chairs around the pools for all guests and guests shamelessly “reserve“ the chairs without sanctions from the hotel staff. Inclusive food and beverages at equal levels to similar hotels with a generous choice. Rooms and facilities are proper and clean. Very friendly staff.

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.

We were very pleasantly surprised to be allocated a ground floor room with our own terrace and direct access to the pool. The room was spacious and the bed comfortable. The shower was excellent with plenty of hot water when needed. We were a bed and breakfast option and found there was plenty of choice - we found that about 8.30 am was the best time for us as it wasn't so busy.

Really child friendly and such stunning location right next to the beach ❤️🫶

Location was great and all inclusive food was lovely along with drinks and snacks

Stayed 4 nights perfect location for single traveller

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

We travel often and are a bit particular, but this hotel is fantastic—clean and attentive staff. The pool was slightly cold, but that’s hardly a complaint!

Was expecting there to be ‘more’ places to eat by the sea (we booked B&B) but most were inland and the usual Irish type bars - we prefer more secluded locally caught delicacies rather than pizzas and chips but it’s ideal if that’s your sort of thing but it’s not ours. However, there was a lovely spa close by and hiring a car we were able to view stunning scenery from the mountains!

Huge hotel well run ,good food ,comfortable accomodation

Was ok but needs a bit of work in the Food and Beverage Outlets.

Great hotel with friendly staff. Lovely clean complex overlooking the beach. Pool was saltwater and a bit cool so didn’t spend too much time in it. Staff were amazing and really helpful. Ideal location for the resort.

The hotel is excellent. Clean and comfortable with two great pools. It is oriented to families so is quite noisy around one of the pools with various organised activities. The usual issues at busy times with selfish guests putting towels on sunbeds and the not showing up. Food was very good and varied. Unusually we had water each evening with our meal and we're charged euro 2:30 for a small bottle. Don't think I've ever been charged for water with an evening meal. Resort is dominated by the Barcelo hotels.

Amazing hotel! It’s clean, modern and quiet. The whole Barcelo complex in Caleta de Fuste feels like a little holiday town. We had a great time there. Highly recommended for families.
