Tripplo's verdict, based on guest reviews
By Axel Hernborg · Updated 1 September 2026 · How we review hotels
Families drawn to comprehensive kids' programmes and nightly shows will find this a highly suitable match. Boasting a Booking.com score of 8.6 from 172 reviews, it was named the best all-inclusive hotel in Spain by Tripadvisor travellers. Guests enjoy renovated interiors on the Jandía beachfront and three buffet meals. Note that the concept is strongly family-skewed, meaning couples may prefer a sister property's adults-only deck, and there is no à la carte dining.
Guests score it 8.6 out of 10 — the average across the 10 hotels we list in Fuerteventura is 8.7.
What Guests Loved
- A Tripadvisor Travelers' Choice winner as Spain's best all-inclusive hotel — rare recognition for a family house.
- The concept covers buffet meals at Maday, the Erbania snack bar between them, local-brand drinks, kids' club and evening shows.
- Star Camp kids' programme and nightly shows
- Jandía beachfront with renovated interiors
Things to Consider
- This is the family engine of the Gaviotas pair — for grown-up calm, book Playa Gaviotas' Star Prestige instead.
- No à la carte dining in the concept
