TUI MAGIC LIFE Fuerteventura

We stayed here for a week over Easter Check in was easy and quick . Family room was great with a fantastic sea view . Everything we needed although the pillows were the worst we’ve ever had . We enjoyed the food and found something we liked every night . We tried the Downtown restaurant and booked easily through the app. We went on the sunset safari which we really enjoyed. Aran the Tui rep told us everything we needed to know at the welcome meeting , very helpful . We walked both ways along the beach which was great . The professional shows were good but didn’t really like the animation team night shows. All in all a great week away in the sun to recharge

We stayed as a couple for 2 weeks in March 2018. We stayed in the Adults only area so my comments regards the room are based on a Lodge room. We arrived quite late the journey from the airport took 1 hr 10 min. Be aware the reps at the airport do not check off your name, they just ask where you are staying. When we arrived at our coach which was quite a trek, it was about to pull out. Another minute and it would have gone without us. We were delayed by waiting for 1 of our cases. When we mentioned this to the rep a few days later he just said he would have got us on another coach when the next flight came in!! Do not delay in getting to your coach. Check in was very quick and the signage regards room numbers was easy to follow. Our Lodge room 30205 was large with a huge bed, TV, trouser press full mirror, fridge, safe and plenty of cupboard space. A fully stocked fridge with water, soft drinks, beer and wine on the table. There were a few other extras like slippers and robes although the robes need replacing as they were very thin and grey. The bathroom was very nice with plenty of shelf space, large mirror, shaving mirror, toiletries and we always had plenty of towels although the bath towels were more like hand towels. The shower was over the bath which I hope will be changed after the refurbishment. The bad points were the quality of the mattress and the pillows. The mattress dipped either side and was very hard (and I like a firm mattress) my back ached every morning. The pillows were very uncomfortable also. No coffee making facilities in any rooms. These should at least be provided in Lodge rooms. The lady who looked after our room was very good and we never wanted for anything. The Lodge area is lovely and quiet with a giant size jaccuzi (heated) and an infinity pool which was freezing. The sunbeds were very basic and could have done with cushions however the lovely double bed type loungers were a nice touch. The lounge was a lovely place to relax during the day with a help yourself bar with branded drinks. What is missing in this area is a place to have your breakfast and lunch instead of having to trek all the way to main restaurant (Did not like the poolside snack area at all). There used to be a restaurant above the lodge lounge. This needs to be re-opened for Lodge guests. Would make this area perfect and the extra cost justified. All the grounds and pool areas were lovely and clean and some of the points raised regards pools needing refurbishment is being addressed during the hotel closure. The main restaurant is huge and seemed very busy all the time. The noise was unbelievable at times but we used the adults only section which was a godsend, tucked away to one side it. If you experience a queue in the evening and there is only two of you just bypass it there are always tables empty if you look for them yourselves. The queues are usually for larger groups needing a large table. The food was very good, always something different to choose from. Yes it repeated itself the second week but there was so much choice. Also there were some lovely different touches which I have not come across before. Yes some dishes could have been hotter, the steak could have patched my shoes and the fried egg man needs some lessons but despite this I felt the food was extremely good. They also cater for different dietary requirements - just ask. I cannot comment on the entertainment as we did not watch any but comments from other guests was not very good. The hotel contains mainly German guests with a very small number of English however we had some very enjoyable evenings in the Main reception Lounge area chatting to other guests. We preferred the main lounge in the evening to the lodge lounge as there were was hardly ever anyone in there in the evening. However this meant that although we could access branded drinks at the lodge bar we had to pay for them in all the other bars. This was very annoying. The weather during our stay was sunny with one day of rain but a persistent wind (some days gale force) which is expected in Fuerteventura. However there were many days that we could not even sit on our balcony because the wind was so strong and because the direction it faced it made it impossible. The wind made it quite cold in the evening so jackets were needed. If you can find a place out of the wind the sun is very strong so beware. The hotel is quite isolated but the next town can be accessed by walking along the beach (beware tide times), taxi (10 euros each way), by bus (the stop is about 10-15 min walk from hotel 1.20 pp each way.) I enjoyed my holiday to this hotel and it would seem so did many others as most people we talked to were repeat guests. I very rarely go back to the same place but I would consider a return visit (but a room facing a different way). I would definitely recommend it.

TUI magic life is amazing. We arrived at the hotel, check in was super fast with a complimentary drink which was very refreshing and tasty! Very easy to find our room as everything is clearly sign posted. The room was very clean and spacious only thing wrong was our safe was broke but in fairness we didn’t report it and we kept our valuables in our suitcase. Our maid was really amazing as well, didn’t catch her name but she has short blonde hair and had glasses. The also have cats that the hotel looks after all very friendly and so cute!! The beach is beautiful, you can walk for ages, the waves are especially fun. The steps down are very steep and tough to climb up but gives you a hell of a workout. A part of the beach is nudist though so don’t be shocked if you see people in the nuddy wuddy. We couldn’t fault the food which was different every night and wide in variety with bottles of wine with every table. The bar staff are lovely and very helpful. The cocktails and general alcoholic drinks being very yummy. The gym is really impressive, the resort also offers a wide range of classes which looked fun but we didn’t partake any. All in all was a lovely holiday and would love to go back someday. 🙂
