Betancuria Holidays

This hotel was very spacious, modern and peaceful. Room was comfortable and tasteful. Bed was huge and nice bathroom. Was cleaned every day if required. The whole hotel was spotlessly clean and well kept. Most guests were older couples, mainly German, which meant it was nice and quiet with no loud drunk Brits if you know what I mean 😉. There was lots of choice at breakfast and dinner and food was of a good quality. I loved that there was direct access to a pretty sheltered beach with good swimming in the gorgeous turquoise sea. We also swam in the smaller pool as this was kept at a good temperature. I felt that the hotel was also very good value compared to similar hotels and I would recommend the Royal Palm Resort to any friends and family coming to Fuertaventura.

A short walk to Main Street. A new eating, dining and shopping area 100m away. Very modern with very nice room and outside pool area.

Property is good for a budget trip and price point makes it attractive. Main lobby is stunning. Staff are very helpful when needed. Food market can be very busy at peak times. Rooms were good and cleaned regularly. good holiday desitination but quieter part of the island.

Not bad, rooms could be much cleaner. Dirty cups in the dining area on clean tables - kind of like when you overfill the dishwasher. But other then that it was fine.

First the positives - I was a solo traveller and was delighted with my lovely big airy apartment style accommodation on the quieter side of the 3 storey block. It was very clean and was serviced daily with a built in safe (€2 per day charge to use it!!) Food/drink - poor for a 4 star. I like to explore so opted for Half Board. Breakfast was was the best meal of the day with unlimited juice/smoothies/chilled water. Tea and coffee was dreadful. Felt very put out when on the 4th day of my holiday I was challenged by the waiting staff for taking a glass of water with my evening meal - it had been ok to do so the first 3 nights- I was aware that 'drinks' were not included for half board but it never dawned on me that meant water too! There would be a €2 charge for that!! Red wine was €2.50 a glass and served ice cold (not pleasant) The impression given was that they would prefer you to be all inclusive for an added charge of €15 a day, I am. It a big drinker or eater so all these additional charges would have made my holiday very expensive. I chose to buy my own water from a shop at €0.48 a 1.5litre bottle (but was not allowed to take that into the restaurant) The pools and amenity areas were pleasant and there were ample sunloungers available but a €10 charge for a towel (non refundable) glad I took my own. It all felt a bit penny pinching and behind the times. The staff did their best and were courteous but I don't feel able to recommend the hotel to others.
