Barceló Fuerteventura Royal Level

Let's start with the plus points because there are certainly some. The resort looks beautiful. When you arrive you immediately have the holiday feeling. Palm trees etc. Reception is exceptionally friendly. Everything was neatly explained. If you want you can be driven to your room with a buggy, we walked so we could view the resort. The swimming pool is beautiful, the beds are wonderful. The restaurant has the best food we have ever had at Barcelo. Really high quality. Every evening a different theme but always something you like. The room or actually villa is spacious, lovely beds, nice sitting area, 2 wardrobes so enough space for all your clothes. The villa is exceptionally clean and the cleaning is very good. So you would think a perfect stay. But then the biggest minus. Despite the fact that they advertise that they keep a strict eye on reserving pool beds, there is no sign of this. At 7am in the morning people are already running to the pool to claim beds. Because of this there are no more beds available after 9am. the pool opens at 10am by the way. and are those people going to lie down at 10am, no way. we have seen beds occupied for the entire day several times without having seen anyone on them. even when we indicated to the staff that some beds were reserved but no one was lying down, no action was taken. this means that you are actually forced to participate if you want a day at the pool. this was not what we were hoping for because of their own rules, and this negatively affected a very large part of the holiday.

We spent 4 nights at the Barceló Fuerteventura Royal Level – Adults Only - to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. Our room was clean, but maintenance issues detracted from our comfort. The sofa needed a deep cleaning, and the main balcony railing was loose and felt unsafe, which was particularly concerning. The bedroom balcony, on the other hand, had no furniture at all—just an empty space, which seemed like a missed opportunity for enjoying the outdoors. The bathroom was spacious, with a good-sized shower, but the shower door lacked a bottom track. This caused the glass door to swing inwards and felt unstable. It also left a gap at the floor level, resulting in water soaking the bathroom floor every time we used it. Upon arrival, the bed was made up as two singles instead of the king we had expected. While housekeeping quickly addressed this when we informed reception, the noise from our room location remained a problem. Being on the first floor at the back of the resort, we were exposed to constant road noise and live music from a nightclub across the street, which blared until 1 a.m. nightly. The live entertainment from the pool bar was also audible from our balcony. A poorly fitted door with large gaps only amplified these issues. When we raised our concerns with reception, they said the resort was fully booked and no alternative rooms were available. We mentioned several times during check-in and our discussions with reception that this was our 25th wedding anniversary—a milestone trip for us. No one even acknowledged it, let alone made any effort to make our stay special. For context, when we celebrated our 15th anniversary at a different hotel, they surprised us with a small gesture of a bottle of Prosecco and chocolate-covered strawberries. We didn’t expect anything extravagant, but even a simple “Happy Anniversary” would have gone a long way. The resort itself was clean, and the facilities were well-maintained. However, the pool area suffered from the common issue of guests “reserving” loungers with towels as early as 7 a.m., only to leave them empty for hours. A pool lounger assignment system would help resolve this frustrating situation. The food was a big disappointment. We were shocked by the low quality and poor presentation at both the adults-only buffet and the main resort buffet. Salad Bar: Mostly prepackaged or tinned items like bagged salad mix, tinned mushrooms, and sweetcorn. Salad dressings were unlabelled, making it unclear what was being offered. Charcuterie: While visually appealing, nothing was labelled, and not every platter had tongs or forks, leading to guests handling food with their hands. Hot Food: This was the most disappointing. The selection felt more like a children’s menu, with frozen fried items such as chips, mozzarella sticks, spring rolls, and croquettes. One day at lunch, we saw what appeared to be a pulled pork pizza. However, upon tasting it, we realised it was not pork at all—it was tinned

Second stay at Barcelo Fuerteventura Royal Level Adults Only this year. I do love this hotel - lovely rooms, beautiful pool, great location - and I will return BUT for a 4 star hotel there’s definitely some room for improvement here, especially given the price. 1. The food is still luke warm and I think this is the main criticism everyone has in reviews but Barcelo don’t appear to act on this information. Come on Barcelo, do something about it! Hot food such be hot not luke warm. 2. There’s plenty of food to choose from but it’s not always clearly labelled and sometimes there appears to be a theme but it’s not clear what the theme is. Advertise this! Put it in the app! 3. Housekeeping has unfortunately been very much a miss for me in my 4 nights here. Day 1 they took my hand and bath/shower mat and didn’t replace them so I had to order more through the app. Day 2 I wasn’t given any complimentary water, informed reception through the app and was told housekeeping would bring some - it never arrived. Day 3 I got water but they only cleaned the shower in the bathroom and left the sink. I would suggest you issue housekeeping with a check list and that you raise standards - it’s not currently at 4 star standard! None of this is enough to stop me from returning… but when I’m paying Barcelo prices I do expect perfection!!

It was our first Barcelo experiance , reception welcome was the least welcome we ever had in a hotel. Poolbar only had a few seats for the whole bungalow park. The staff try do to their best but fail from time to time to bring what you ordered. The breakfast en dinnerbuffet is okay but not better then in a none royal level concept. There is no royal level at anytime at Barcelo Fuerteventura, the only thing whats royal is that you pay about 700€ more then a none royal level concept. So for us the only extra what royal level is , is a filled welcome minibar. We will definately not return !!!! Maybe the first time Barcelo is also the last time because we travel alot using many hotel brands , Riu Palace , Hipotels, Iberostar and they were all better in service and buffetfood!

Nice Pool and location, reception staff could be more engaging and welcoming, food good, accommodation okay, but don't get a room to near the main road opposite bars and bottle bank if possible.

The Royal Level adults only is a tranquil haven within the large Barcelo complex at Caleta. Direct access to the long promenade was excellent for early morning runners like myself. At the hotel there was yoga and pool aerobics as well as use of the gym elsewhere on the complex if you like. However I would say that the general daytime vibe was lovely and peaceful, both at the pool and on the balconies outside the individual suites. If I was to return I would ask for a suite close to the pool but none of them are far. We had to put towels out before 7.30am to get seats together as 2 couples. That was a learning curve. Breakfast was excellent with everything you could want. Dinner had a different theme every night so not too monotonous. My friend had a freshly cooked steak every night, cooked exactly as requested. All the staff were lovely, nothing was too much trouble. I would definitely recommend this resort if you want a high class peaceful holiday.
