Alua Village Fuerteventura - All Inclusive

So just back from a weeks chilled holiday with the wife, nice room and food acceptable, drinks just about passable, reception staff very helpful, barmen/women work very hard ,shout out to Miguel who went above and beyond,the biggest let down was the animation although they did try to include the English,some blatantly blanked the British and was noticeable, the evening entertainment was only done in France,although we knew this before we went I couldn't believe just how the British were not included in anything,walked down to the beach and back most days to break the holiday up a bit,wife dud enjoy the gym classes but once again they struggled with the English, wouldn't go back unless the hotel at least tried to include the english

We stayed for 2 weeks and paid the extra for the My Favourite Club. It is not worth the extra money! The food was very good overall but I would recommend staying away from the Nubium Mare Restaurant - portions are absolutely tiny and wait was unacceptable. We went to the ordinary buffet after our dinner and we didnt go the second time. This is not a good hotel for people with mobility issues. Our room was nice enough (and very clean with lovely housekeeping staff) but we had suitcases on wheels which we had to trundle over very uneven surfaces around the pool area. The bathrooms have had the tiles painted and the paint was peeling and just looked worn out. The buffet was varied and there was loads of food choices and overall it was excellent. I cannot fault the food side of things. My Favourite Club guests get to sit in a little sectioned off area of the big dining room but we only ate in their twice as you need to get your food from the buffet and take it to the area which is the furthest from the buffet! We tended to eat outside which suited us better. We took a bottle of wine fromthe MFC area - as it was possibly marginally better - to our outside table. I got a few 'looks' but showed my wristband and nothing was said. The beach is difficult to access down a very steep, wide pathway. The beach itself is sandy, clean and gentle slope to the sea. I think the hotel should have some sun loungers of its own on the beach as peopke have to pay a guy 15 Euros for 2 loungers and an umbrella. The My Favourite Club lounge was rubbish. No atmosphere, blaring music from the animation team and pool immediately below which went on all day. The choice of snacks was very limited in the My Favourite Club Lounge and often there was nothing left. There was a wide variety of self serve alcohol - including some good brands. Lots of bottled beer and pop. Very nice coffee maching in the MFC Lounge. We have previously stayed at Alua Suites in Corralejo which was much better facilities. A nice tip is to wander down the steep path to the beach taking some nuts or fruit for the many chipmunks which come right up to you and beg. They are lovely and will come up and touch your legs to attract your attention if you stop and show any interest. (These are so cute and will race off if you say boo to them.) There is a nice snack bar for drinks (and a clean loo) on the beach so take some Euros with you. There is parking outside the front of the hotel and a car park opposite the entrace. Its a quiet road. The dining room staff are fantastic. Indeed the staff in all the hotel were great. The hotel does look like it needs a refurb and I believe it is currently up for sale. I would not pay the extra for the My Favourite Suite rooms - but they are the nearest to the main hotel and food areas so they are a necessity if you have mobility issues.

Chambre PMR parfaitement adaptée, au plus proche des piscines et restaurants. Chambre double avec lit simple bien larges. Les chambres sont bien au calme. Zone piscine chauffée (31 ) bien agréable. Les portes des hammams et sauna ne ferment plus complètement, dommage !! Ces Services sont gratuits à volonté, fait rarissime ! On peut trouver des coins au calme pour prendre un verre ou rester en compagnie, le choix est large. Repas du midi au mi soleil possible.

This is an excellent hotel with spotlessly clean rooms and excellent staff. We booked 'My favourite club' room. The room (other than an issue on arrival when we were put in a non-club room') was excellent in club block (rooms 6000) and good sea view. You get your own club room next to reception and can enjoy privacy, premium drinks as well as snacks (these were not covered and we did report to management as risk of flies landing on food when doors to terrace were opened. Simple to fix but not done while we were there!!). For these reasons marked as 4 instead of 5. The meals were varied but reasonable variety but generally warm rather than hot as others have reported. We ate late in evenings so perhaps food got colder. Breakfast good as well. The hotel is about 1.5hrs away from the airport so take that into account. The walk to the beach from the hotel is 15min slow downhill walk (path most of the way) and slower back uphill. The hotel rooms are in blocks on a terrace above the beach. There is a bus short uphill walk from the hotel (no 1 or 5) BUT as it comes from regional areas often full and you will NOT be allowed on if no seats. The fare is only 1.40 Euros so cheap . Getting back is easier as bus less full.

Vraiment super le personnel est vraiment très gentil. Si vous êtes français, ils essayeront de parler votre langue mais ils comprennent très bien l'Anglais ! La nourriture est bonne et équilibré mais attention si vous n'aimez pas la cannelle il y en a énormément dans les desserts et même moi qui adore sa je trouve que c'est vraiment présent. Vous aurez aussi une petite superette, un magasin de vêtement et une boutique parapharmacie/ jouet pour enfant etc et ce personnel font tout pour vous comprendre et ils sont super sympa et je recommande d'aller la bas que ce soit pour les petits souvenirs ou bien même les cigarettes ! Pour le bar du haut que vous avez au niveau de la réception ils sont vraiment sympa et pas besoin d'utiliser leur système de token car tout est compris dans vos vacances jusqu'à 23h heure locale. Pour le bar du bas ils fonctionnent avec le système de token et le bar est ouvert de 10h à 18h. Le personnel de l'accueil est vraiment top et ils feront tout leur possible pour vous aidez. Le personnel ménagé sont géniaux, vos lits seront fait tout les matins et ils discuteront avec vousn je me devais les mettre dans cette avis car on ne pense pas assez à eux. Et enfin pour l'équipe d'animation, ils sont formidable vraiment sympa mais personnellement , je ne suis pas attiré par les animations mais ils font un travail extraordinaire !

Emplacement super près d'une plage magnifique, même si peut être un peu sportif pour certains. Piscine extérieure fraiche mais vivifiante! Piscine intérieure agreable avec jacuzzi, sauna et hammam. Petit déjeuner délicieux, qualité des dîners variable mais globalement bon. Manque d'insonorisation dans les chambres. Location de voiture conseillée
