Paradisus by Meliá Fuerteventura

The hotel decor is lovely, the rooms are lovely with lovely beds. It’s definitely not a 5* as it claims to be. The buffet was disappointing and lacked interest, not enough staff so you could be waiting sometime for a drink with your dinner. Neither of the à la carte restaurants were particularly great either. The best restaurants were definitely downstairs by the pool which were really good but only open at lunchtime. Sunbeds are metal which are very uncomfortable. 5* resorts do not provide cheap sunbeds like these. The price of this holiday was quite high but it seems the better idea would’ve been to pay extra for the reserve rooms to use the better pools with better sun beds. This would’ve been 3.2 K for a week in March and there is no way it is worth that money. Our mini bar wasn’t re stocked every day as they claimed it would be. We had to ask at reception 3 times in a week for it to be re stocked. We were approached by the circle team numerous times and so did listen to their talk which wasn’t for us. We were not rewarded with the 100 euro room credit that we were told we would received by listening to the talk. What I found particularly rude was that after we had attended the talk the guy who had originally approached us didn’t pass the time of day with us agin and even went as far as to walk past us and ignore us. We couldn’t escape him before we attended the talk. So very rude!

I had a fantastic experience at the Paradisus by Melia Fuerteventura. My trip to Dubai got cancelled and I had to rebook something very quickly (and solo) and I am so glad that I did. I am an independant travel agent and was coming on a familiarisation trip for my clients and I was pleasently suprised. The hotel has been refurbished last year so it all felt brand new. I booked as a Reserve guest which is the premium, all inclusive for adults only which was definitely worth it. But if you are travelling with children and can't do so, I would still recommend the rooms are still the same spec and the variety of restaurants is top notch. The food and drinks were of such high quality, I really enjoyed my stay and will definitely be back and be recommending to my clients. There isn't a lot to do around the property if you don't have a car, so if you are looking to explore more I would suggest renting one. But if your goal is to relax and enjoy the beautiful hotel then you can do just that.

Simplemente fantástico. (Translated by Google) Simply fantastic.

Very friendly employees make a difference👍🏽 The team of the Kanna Resraurant is by far the best in the whole hotel. Thank you for a six star dinner and service- you all did an outstanding job. Very very well done

Wir waren als Paar im Hotel Paradisus Fuerteventura und insgesamt hat uns der Aufenthalt gut gefallen – mit einigen Abstrichen. Die Lage ist wirklich traumhaft, die Umgebung wunderschön und alles sehr sauber. Besonders hervorheben möchte ich die Zimmerreinigung – die war absolut top und auf 5-Sterne-Niveau. Leider konnte der Service insgesamt nicht ganz mithalten. Trotz großer Mannschaft wirkte vieles unkoordiniert und teilweise überlastet. Es gab aber auch einzelne Mitarbeiter, die sehr freundlich und professionell waren. Beim Essen hatten wir gemischte Erfahrungen. Teilweise waren Restaurants geschlossen oder ausgebucht, was schade war. Ein SPA-Bereich fehlt komplett – das ist für ein Hotel dieser Kategorie aus unserer Sicht ein Minuspunkt. Auch ein kleiner Shop für den täglichen Bedarf wäre wünschenswert. Fazit: Die traumhafte Lage und die tolle Natur machen den Aufenthalt dennoch lohnenswert, auch wenn es im Service noch Verbesserungspotenzial gibt.
