"I like the view and Africa bar.
Most of staff very friendly couple a bit rude.(one Tall dark hair guy in reception)
I did not get my deposit back for towel because i did not have the receipt!!!
Food hygiene and quality of food did not match a 4 star hotel."

"Great room with a great view of the beach and sea. All you can eat buffet style breakfast and dinner were good.
I am not a user, but it does seem to be wheelchair accessible.
Rooftop pool and cafe were lovely with a great view.
Negatives:
TV was not easy to use, and the channels were all German or Spanish, with the exception of CNN International.
Wifi internet was only available in the lobby, not in rooms.
I would return to this resort."

The XQ Palacete Hotel is an excellent small boutique type hotel on the southern most tip of Fuerteventura away from the crowds found in many other resorts. Whilst predominately German clientele there are also some from the UK so the staff speak both languages. Set on the edge of the village of Morra Jable it is ideally placed above the golden sandy beach with a great elevated position facing south with a great terrace and pool area. Breakfast outside on the terrace is a must and plenty warm...

We had a few problems with our accommodation at the start of the holiday but these were quickly resolved. We experienced some inconvenience as a result so were a little disappointed that a bottle of wine did not appear from the management as a result? Hey ho.
We were disappointed with the table layout in Terra Sana. Long rows of tables only a few feet apart is not conducive to private dining is it? The food in Terra Sana at dinner time was not that good either. However, all that said, we had a...

This hotel was very spacious, modern and peaceful. Room was comfortable and tasteful. Bed was huge and nice bathroom. Was cleaned every day if required. The whole hotel was spotlessly clean and well kept.
Most guests were older couples, mainly German, which meant it was nice and quiet with no loud drunk Brits if you know what I mean 😉.
There was lots of choice at breakfast and dinner and food was of a good quality.

Nice hotel, lovely rooms and amazing food! Close to supermarket and shops and numerous restaurants and bars. A 3 min walk from the beach. Has a small shop on site for gifts and booking excursions. My advice would be to book a sea view room (away from the hustle and bustle of the evening and pool entertainment) and go half board to take advantage of the amazing food. Breakfast was excellent and dinner was also very good with lots of choice. Room was cleaned every day and new bedding given every...

Lovely hotel, friendly staff, ideally located close to the beach. We decided to go with breakfast only which was very nice. There is the town of Morro Jable 5 minutes taxi ride away which has some lovely restaurants and bars at the seafront. This is where we went for dinner as we didn't want to be "tied" to the hotel every evening. Would definitely recommend the hotel and location.

Wonderful hotel with excellent facilities. Large pool, plenty of sun beds. Buffet meals, excellent choices with meat/fish freshly cooked as required. Rooms large with balcony and very clean. Service very efficient, hairdryer did not work and was changed for a new one the same day.
Entertainment provided, different show every night mostly quite good especially the Lennon and McCartney tribute pair.
Thanksfully very few children at this hotel. So it you want a peaceful holiday pick this hotel. Few...

Great break. Food was really good and varied. The weather was surprisingly good right up to Christmas Day itself which started windy and slightly overcast but soon cleared up. Only issues were lift broken down for a couple of days and bathroom could have done with a decorate/refurb.

This is our second time to this hotel and we can honestly say that we were not disappointed. Everything was just as amazing as it was last year. The food is to die for, so much to choose from and the quality was like nothing you can compare to. Most hotels don't offer good food and you can usually expect bland food but the riu just makes it top class. The staff are extremely helpful albeit some more than others but overall good. The rooms are spacious and cannot fault the hotel on anything. The...

This was our third stay at the Calypso. There is nothing to say negatively about the hotel.
Many locals and some hotel staff have a better command of German than English because of the number of German guests staying in this area.
