Iberostar Waves Playa Gaviotas All Inclusive

Absolutely satisfied about this hotel. Although a big hotel we never got the feeling that it was overcrowded. - Hotel: situated directly at the beach. 24-hrs reception desk. Staff is multi-lingual - Amenities: Restaurant with wide choice of food/dishes. Tapas bar/resto with local food. Bar with the usual alcoholic drinks & cocktails. Several swimming pools (two are heated). Spa & fitness facilities. Children's playground. - Room: Big enough for family of 3. Daily cleaned. Minibar available if wanted (to be ordered). Flatscreen sat-TV. Balcony with partial sea-view. What we liked and appreciated most was the catching enthusiasm of the entertainment team. We especially would like to thank Julio, Nerea, Alba, Judith, Samuel, Joyce and all the others we forgot to make the holiday of us and foremost our daughter unforgettable!! To finalise: absolutely recommended!

We have been to Fuerteventura at least ten times over the last twenty years, usually for a winter sunshine break, and to date have always stayed at the same hotel -Melia Fuerteventura, Playa Sotavento, which clearly we have enjoyed. The hotel was unavailable this year due to refurbishment and so we thought we would try somewhere different. This turned out to be a great decision as the Iberostar Waves Playa Gaviotas proved to be an excellent alternative. Great location, wonderful vista, excellent accommodation and superb food and drink. Staff were extremely polite and helpful and the hotel itself exceptionally clean. My wife and I enjoyed our stay so much that we have definitely added Iberostar Waves Playa Gaviotas to our ‘return to’ list.

Lovely staff, would like more info on ingredients in food

This was a departure from our usual choice of hotel as we generally go for bed & breakfast in a small resort with bars and restaurants. We only booked a week before we went so choice was limited. We chose the hotel based on previous reviews and price. We were very pleasantly surprised by the food which was amazing, with so much choice and changes daily to keep it interesting. The waiting staff were extremely efficient and friendly. Our room was clean and the mattress and pillows were comfy which was very welcome as we are quite fussy in this regard. The daily maid service was great and the room was always left spotless. This was the same for all common areas. There are different areas around the pool and as this is a lively and active hotel with various aqua fitness and childrens activities happening throughout the day, we chose a slightly quieter location further from the pool. You can always hear the music though but this didn't bother us. In the evenings we sat outside in the main bar. There was sometimes live singing which varied in standard but it wasn't too loud and intrusive so you could zone out if it wasn't to your taste. We didn't go to the main entertainment bar but it always seemed well attended. There is direct access to the lovely beach from the hotel and also a pedestrian path that takes you to the resort of Morro Jable but it is a bit of a walk. We hired a car from the airport for the week and went out a few times but there is not a huge amount to see on the island other than more beaches. All in all we were extremely pleased with our choice of hotel and we felt it was also great value for money when compared to some of the other hotels we considered at the time of booking.

Excelent stay with the kids during half term. Great facilities, amazing staff, fantastic entertainment and superb location. It is really good that we could used the sister hotel swimming pool facilities. It could be easily be a five star property with few tweaks such as having a minibar in the room or free use of the safe.

Fantastic hotel, location great (great walk in town and buses available), food super (huge choice), range of pools & entertainment! Our daughter loved Daniella (Portuguese!) but the whole team were fantastic. It was so easy to keep her entertained. All staff were kind and friendly. We felt the hotel couldn’t have done much more to make it perfect. We’d love to return.
