Fabulous Fuerteventura!
The area boasts fine, long sandy beaches, which certainly rival the Caribbean and staggering volcanic scenery. Plus, lighthouses, historical buildings and nature reserves all add to the areas charm.
Our hotel, the 4-star Iberostar Playa Gaviotas Park is located by the seafront and a perfect hotel for families with its water slides, activity programme and kids club. There are 3 outdoor pools and a choice of spacious room types.
We had a seaview suite with great views over the pool area and the Atlantic Ocean. The suite had a small kitchen area with a sink, fridge & microwave. Plus, a lounge area with sofa beds and a separate bedroom.
During our stay we ventured into the town of Morro Jable, which has a nice traditional Spanish feel. It's lovely seafront promenade lined with bars and restaurants overlooks the beach and crystal clear water.
For those who enjoy cycling there is a cycle path right outside the hotel which runs into Morro Jable. We hired a quadracycle and I think it’s safe to say some were peddling more than others!
It was great to have a car to get around the island. We had a day out at the nearby Oasis Wildlife, which is a Zoo and botanical park and great for kids. Plus, a visit to Playa de Sotavento is a must. Its length and natural beauty will leave you speechless. The 9km golden sandy beach and clear sea can be summed up in one word, paradise!
Our hotel is also located next to two other Iberostar properties, which I visited during our stay. The 5-star Selection Fuerteventura Palace and the 4-star Playa Gaviotas. Both hotels more aimed at couples and those seeking rest and relaxation! Sounds perfect doesn't it!?!
