Tripplo's verdict, based on guest reviews
By Axel Hernborg · Updated 31 August 2026 · How we review hotels
This beachfront hotel is best for beach lovers who want immediate access to Playa Jandia. With a Google rating of 4.5 based on 1400 reviews and a booking score of 8.8 from 316 reviews, it offers an ocean-facing outdoor swimming pool and curated daily evening entertainment. Amenities feature two distinct dining venues and a fitness centre. A common complaint is that the poolside can become crowded during peak hours.
Guests score it 8.8 out of 10 — the average across the 10 hotels we list in Fuerteventura is 8.7.
What Guests Loved
- The resort sits directly on the sands of Playa Jandia, allowing guests to transition from the pool deck to the beach in moments.
- With two on-site restaurants, guests can choose between structured buffet dining and curated themed menus without leaving the property.
Things to Consider
- While the two on-site restaurants are excellent, those seeking diverse local culinary experiences will need to venture into the nearby town.
- The prime beachfront pool deck can become crowded during midday hours, though early morning or late afternoon visits offer a quieter experience.
Should you book it?
Book it if you want
- Beach days with the sand a few steps away
- Guests who plan the day around the pool
