SBH Fuerteventura Playa

I'm here and it's my first day. Room was tired and dirty as soon as we entered. Toilet and bath were minging and plug sockets coming away from wall. Door curtain hanging off rail in several places and pictures on wall were stained along with dusty, dirty lights. Outside balcany table and floor were filthy. I went back to reception and asked for another room but was told there wasn't any and to come back tomorrow. The receptionist said she was sending someone to clean the room but after we went back to our room, a few hours later, no one had been and it was still the same. .....So I took some photos.....(see below)..not impressed for a 4 star hotel. Food wasn't great and quite cold although there was a microwave to warm your food up. I chose the pork, but when I cut into it, parts of it was pink and bleeding on my plate so I left it. I ended up with the chicken which was ok. As far as my first day goes, I'm really disappointed and hope tomorrow is a better day.

After reading the reviews I was a bit apprehensive about booking this hotel but got a great deal so thought I’d give it a go! For the price, the hotel is brilliant. The hotel and pool area was tidy and my room was cleaned every day. Drinks were good and there was a self service station at the pool bar, but service at the bar was quite slow in the day and the evening. The entertainment is quite low key (activities during the day and usually a singer at night) The one down side was the food. I found it a bit repetitive but for the price I didn’t mind going out for a few meals during my stay. There’s lots of restaurants in walking distance that are well priced There is lots of fish options. I didn’t get ill during my stay but I also didn’t eat the meat so this may be why. I rented a pool towel for €10 and there were sunbeds available at all times in the day. It is the first all inclusive I have been to where people aren’t reserving sunbeds at stupid times of a morning. The beach was also lovely and location is great. I would definitely return

The hotel is not really a 3 Star, more like 2. The hotel is looking very tired and could do with some real TLC to update the décor and facilities. Positives: All Staff were friendly and helpful; plenty of sun beds and choice of location of sunbeds; good size swimming pool. Breakfast choice of food was good. So So's: Pool was salt water, which is not ideal but no doubt far cheaper to run. Water from shower in room was decent strength but only really warm, never hot. Towels were changed every couple of days which was just about bearable, as was the fact that for 2 days per week the rooms are not cleaned. Negatives: Beds undoubtedly the most uncomfortable I have ever experienced in any hotel. Mattresses were thin and old, you could feel the springs. Pillows also uncomfortable. All drinks - which were non branded - were served in small wine glasses or shorts glasses, including the beer. I have never been to any hotel which did not served draft beer in proper beer glasses. Presumably they did this to save money. Food choices were very limited for lunch and dinner and catered for more a German and Spanish palate. I was violently sick with a stomach bug for 2 days, then immediately afterwards so was my wife for 2 days, which was a substantial chunk of our holiday. After being ill we did not eat any lunch or dinner from the hotel. The hotel was a 20 minute walk from the small amount of restaurants. There is one good sports bar that shows the football and serves excellent food, which was a life saver. If you want a cheap break, quite a long way from anything at a cheap hotel this would suit you. Personally going forward I would spend a bit more to stay in a better quality hotel where the facilities and food are that much better. I would not go back to this particular area as it was a predominately German and Spanish resort. Perhaps the north of the Island might be a little more British

Just got back from this hotel. Food and drinks and staff I will give 4*. However the hotel is VERY DATED. Rooms are small and not very comfurtable although we did have a balcony which just looked onto other rooms. The hotel is certainly NOT within walking distance to shops, as the website indicated, and is a good taxi ride away. There is a bus stop not too far away but the service is very unreliable. For the remainder of my experience at this hotel I will give 2*.

Just arrived and have been sat here for over 2 hours as the room is not ready - so annoyed - people arriving after me being given rooms and I am still sat here. I asked reception why and there answer was it depends on when the room has been cleaned. I then asked why again - she then ignored me while I stood there - after a few minutes silence I asked again if that was it - advised yes and to have to wait a further hour - will have been sat here for over for 3 hours - that’s saying that I actually do get into a room at 4pm - not a good start
