It was the other positive reviews that made me choose this place. Only went for a short relaxing break. Was not disappointed. I chose their Privilege package which gave free access to the 2 other restaurants, Italian and ala-carte, however I have to say I found the Buffet excellent, especially dealing with so many guests at one time. There is 'show' cooking for some item's and the choice changed each day so there was always something different to choose from. The Ala-carte restaurant for both breakfast and evening meal was lacking in choice (For me anyway) so only chode to eat there once for each occasion (Breakfast and Dinner)..never tried 'Stromboli's' pizza restaurant...can get good pizza's at home and not my favourite for an evening meal anyway. The Pool front Snack bar was excellent, great choice of food for lunch, pleasant atmosphere and spacious. I had a room overlooking the sea right down the front and possibly as far away from the main hotel as was possible, so if you have walking difficulties be aware of this as the hotel is on about 7 levels in all (I think judging by the lift numbers) Plenty of lifts on-route, but did find the layout a bit confusing on arrival and the map was not exactly clear. (Anyway, once established it was fine). The room was reasonably spacious, clean and well appointed, Well stocked (free) fridge with drinks, and a coffee machine. Personally, I prefer a separate shower rather than one over the bath, but this was adequate, with towelling robes and beach towels made available. Nice comfortable bed and balcony with seating overlooking the beach. Just a warning, though, I had noisy neighbours on my last night who sat out on the balcony late at night talking rather loud so had to shut the door.....the air-conditioning then took over, The bars, both pool front and in main hotel are excellent and there is a great view of the sea sitting outside on the decking, with both comfortable arm chairs and tables. Now the staff...excellent, friendly, helpful and professional. Its a nice touch to get a glass of sparkling wine on arrival whilst waiting to check in too. Be aware that the hotel is quite a walk from the centre of Costa Calma, and there is not a great deal to do there. It was first vit to Fuertevetura and my opinion of that part of the island is that it is a bit desolate, so maybe a car would be a choice if you are there for a while to see the island.
