Sheraton Fuerteventura

We have been to Caleta over a dozen times before but first time at the Sheraton. The staff are very lovely, the rooms very spacious (although had a shared balcony area with another 5 rooms) and bedrooms, hallways etc all very clean. A few gripes: No cash bar (everything has to be charged back to room). No English tv other than finances info. On holiday but news channel would be good. Shared balcony. But biggest problem for me and family was the amount of flies in the restaurant! For a 5 star hotel this was very disappointing and although ceiling fans in restaurant, no signs of anything to prevent flies. We paid for half board but decided to eat in resort centre at various bars, restaurants both in and out doors without a trace of a fly! Call me fussy but flicking arms about every two minutes not for me I’m afraid. Pool area very quiet other than mini disco music and pool aerobics. We felt it lacked atmosphere and we are by no means party goers!

Big hotel with lovely pool area and grounds. 3 main pools (and a toddler pool) but one seems to be saltwater and much colder than the other two. There was no fighting for sun beds as there were plenty. Very comfy with head cushions, double beds also available. Clean pool towels provided daily. A few people reserved beds before breakfast but these were minimal. Room was spacious and well thought out. In bathroom, toilet and shower was separate to the double sink area which made things much easier for getting ready. The food was amazing. There are steaks, fish, various meats being cooked to your liking. Then several hot dishes, pastas, joints, whole salmon etc. loads of salad dishes, a seafood section and many other different things. All dishes are marked if vegan, vegetarian or gluten free. This was very handy for me as Coeliac and need gluten free. There was also a little section for gluten free bread, buns, cake, doughnuts. The bread was nice particularly when toasted but buns were horribly dry and tasteless. Bar area was lovely. Fab cocktails. Generally costs 10 euros each but you don’t need many as very strong. Kids loved the mocktails around 6 euros. Good location as shopping centre very nearby and main centre just a 5 min walk along lovely promenade. Would highly recommend this hotel. Staff were very friendly and were keen to help in anyway. It’s all in immaculate condition. We visited a 4* hotel next door and there is definitely a difference in atmosphere and overall quality.

Qualities You have all there, pools, spa, a small, well organised beach, safe for swimming most of the time, wind is ok, food is fine, the port is near by, you can rent car from the hotel. Maybe to improve, or to better the cleaning, not that is not clean but that when we were there the hotel was full of clients so it might have been a pressure on the staff to please everybody, but ok, maybe this was a point to improve in some areas.
