La Casita di Fuerte

Very sad visit this time to find a run down Casita 😔 Outside wall crumbling, outside area by pool floor dirty . Dead plants. Stairs paint all peeling. Sun terrace was disaster zone. No breakfast, no bar available. Room, wobbly plug sockets, fire alarm outside room.broken. bath was dirty due to constant brown running water, plug hole was filthy, covered by bath mat! Bathroom was not very clean. Only good thing was linen was clean and bed comfy. Tiles on floor outside room were broken. Not sure what has happened to this place as last time I came few years ago it was a vibrant happy clean place. I feel sorry for the staff 😔. I believe the owner a young chap with his french bull dog was in the bar area on our first morning when we looked for breakfast, that wasnt available, he was on his phone, just ignored us! Very sad to see this, hope they turn it around as their website still reflects a pristine Casita !

Loved Calletta .Hotel staff were lovely .Shower wasn’t always hot .Cleaners a little absent but overall really enjoyable experience

Look. If you want a high quality, all inclusive hotel with entertainment and hundreds of sunbeds, don't book here If you do want a simple "family" run hotel which acts an ideal Base to explore the island, then CDLF could just be the place you are looking for. In under an hour  you can be anywhere on Fuertventura, a big plus for us as we enjoyed 5 days of touring and walking. The hotel rooms are basic and clean. Think a notch down from Travel Lodge in the UK and that's what you get. Communal area and small pool, with restaurant serving breakfast completes the story. But not quite. 4 stars rather than 5 awarded as sadly brown water flowed through the hot tap and shower for our entire stay. The management said it was a problem with the water system in the immediate area. But and here is the but. The cold water was clear. So that leads me to believe with even my limited knowledge of plumbing that it was a hotel only problem. Just my hunch. Anyway, it sort of cleared after 10 minutes of wasting water and on the plus side I have come back with a super tan, even though the weather on the island was largely cloudy... So assuming the water problem is sorted I'd have no hesitation in returning for a short break. After all, brown is the new white don't you know.
