Overall Satisfaction

My wife and I stayed there for a four-night break to celebrate her birthday and enjoyed our stay. We paid for the Esencia de Fuerteventura package, which included free Wi-Fi and access to the Esencia pool and restaurant. The bedroom was comfortable, and the cleanliness was excellent. The grounds are very well maintained. We would certainly recommend this hotel.

Note: Without a car, you are really limited to using the hotel’s facilities, as going to another bar and restaurant is a very long walk. You can catch a bus to Morro Jable.

Many guests rate their experience positively. They praise the hotel’s beachfront location and well-kept grounds; the variety of food gets good reviews for quality.

You will find the service friendly and helpful. The staff try to pay attention to details to make your stay comfortable.

Some guests mention they would recommend the hotel to others. They feel it offers good value for money in this resort area.

There are mixed opinions on entertainment. If this is important to you, you may want to check current offerings.
