Iberostar Selection Fuerteventura Palace

This was our 12th stay here and we returned on the opening day following refurb. Lovely to see familiar faces such as Veni and Baer who are exceptional!! The hotel has had a refurb and looks wonderful. New cushions on the sun loungers - lovely. New layout by the pool with a walkway and pagodas - lovely. Some form of artificial sand banks - unsure why, very odd and takes up the sunbed room so when it’s full it may become sunbed wars. Lovely single and double hammocks but when it was windy the single ones fell over and by day two the double ones were in a pile in the corner and unused. One lift not working for our whole holiday. Had to ask for a shower head to be put on our shower, tv and fridge not plugged in. Air con was terrible the first two days but then fixed. These things should not be overlooked at 5 star. There is now no snack bar by the pool only a bookable restaurant which has the same menu every day for lunch. You can also sit and order in the large pagoda by the pool. We just enjoyed a snack at lunch as opposed to getting dressed and going to the restaurant so I would very much welcome back some form of a snack bar with sandwiches etc. We did hope it would revert back to adults only as there is nothing for children there but sadly not. Entertainment needs more variety but the female singer was incredible. Missed having the pop up shops and also the on site shop has now gone. Food was still exceptional - cannot fault it. Drinks service good in an evening mostly but at times was very very slow. Weighing machine for suitcase not working when we left. Would we return? Yes because the staff are what makes the hotel and we expected a few snagging issues which I hope will be resolved.

Very nice location, direct path to the beach, with a 30mins slow walk into town. Friendly staff and great facilities. Nighttime entertainment can be a bit loud so having a room further from the main area was much more pleasant.
