Alua Suites Fuerteventura

“Brilliant stay if you've got kids - safe, loads of things to do, lovely food”

Superb 5 night AI holiday with my 16 year old daughter, her best friend and mum. The resort itself is huge, with loads of different areas, pools, restaurants, bars and activities. We were upgraded to the adults only area - if you can, this is an absolute must! Separate pool area, with ultra-comfy sunbeds with pads on, it's own poolside restaurant which can be used for breakfast, lunch or just lazy drinks - there is pink fizz on tap all day long and cocktails, smoothies, snacks, etc. Rooms here are also bigger and a bit more plush - comfortable beds, quiet, lovely bathroom. There is a plastic glass system which is actually great - you simply hand your empty back as you're getting another one - and keeps the resort really tidy/clean. The whole resort felt safe as it is gated and just far enough out of town to avoid noise, rowdier party crowds (15 min walk but some great sea-side cocktail bars along the way). Would 100% recommend if you've got kids - brilliant entertainment too.

We've just returned from a week's all inclusive at the alua suites. We travelled as a family group of 7 (6 adults and 1 12year old) as such we stayed in the main complex - not MFC. Our room as cosy with all working facilities. The beds were a little harder than I usually like but I couldn't fault the space and our nice outside patio which backed onto the main pool area - Room 4103 Our cleaner was funny and warm and welcoming. From the moment we stepped into reception the attentiveness and welcome of the staff was noticeable. This continued throughout our holiday. I speak Spanish and had a fabulous time getting to know people and sharing experiences. Big props to: Loli our cleaner, Erica at the plaza restaurant, Laura with the Entertainments team and alfonzo on the plaza bar for the extra conversation and attention. We found breakfast to be the better meal of the day but also found enough dinner choice. We've stayed in a few all inclusives in different countries and found this one to be a very high quality compared. I have a small addition to the donuts you get in Spain and was so pleasantly surprised to find them available at breakfast alongside some cola-cao :) Lunch options at the pool cafe area were a little less varied but there was often a BBQ or spanish food pop up station outside which were of good quality too. The drinks we were given we enjoyed. There are a lot of strong spirits available and the waiters do give quite large measures... as such we spent our days on shandy and drank spirits at night. There were plenty of cocktail options for those that wanted it and the local spirits used instead of the premium ones were still a good quality. We found our entertainment just got better and better through the week. We really enjoyed the soul and motown trio In-Unison... they had really tight harmonies and as someone who works in entertainment in the UK - it was refreshing to have a really quality act to enjoy. We also loved the flamenco offering on Spanish night. All in all we had an amazing holiday in a fabulous place. Gracias por todo - fue genial.

“Short haul winter sun”

Excellent Hotel very comfortable and very well kept grounds. And staff are all friendly and polite. Something for everybody here ( families, couples or just friends). Lots of trips to do from here and also very good for shopping and eating out as the strip is very close

“WiFi doesn’t work, food is cold & rooms are dirty”

Visited with my mum for a relaxing break. The staff are so friendly and helpful, every single person we spoke to was really lovely, polite and helpful. The service was faultless. However the housekeeping is awful. When we checked in, there were dead and live bugs everywhere in the room - a squashed one on the door, a huge dead one on the bedroom floor and a whole bunch of live bugs crawling in the bath. The bath was also filthy. We reported this to reception who said they’d send someone to clean and even exterminate any bugs but nobody came and the room didn’t feel like it was actually cleaned the entire time. The food has a huge amount of choice and it’s all mostly tasty. However everything is cold! I thought people were exaggerating and I’m not fussy about things like that but the only hot food was that on the show cooking station. Even things freshly served up were lukewarm at best. The pools are big and there are plenty of sunbeds, although a lot are in the shade. They also don’t recline very much so aren’t overly comfortable. The pools are absolutely freezing, maybe considered refreshing, if you’re brave enough to put your shoulders under! When you check in they ask you to download an app to use the facilities but the wifi doesn’t work! I couldn’t download the app for 3 days and when I finally managed to, nothing would load. We asked reception for help and they said it was faulty and couldn’t be fixed on a weekend, and there was no alternative wifi to use. Monday was the only day the wifi actually worked and then it promptly broke again on the Tuesday. All in all, it’s a nice enough hotel but I’d rate it a 3* at best, not a 4*. It’s looking very tired and run down in places and it wouldn’t take much to really lift the place. I wouldn’t return
