After visiting this site, I was a little worried about what this hotel was going to be like. First impressions, when checking in the lady on the desk was very polite, friendly and spoke good enlish. You don't get shown to your apartment but they hand you a map and we found ours easily. Our apartment was very clean and we couldn't see why people had complained on here about them, the outside of the apartments are neat looking although if you look in depth at them you will see small areas that could do with a re-paint, but I think you'd have to be really fussy for it to bother you. Next, the food & drink. The resturant was nicely presented, the food was gorgeous, there was plenty of choice to suit different tastes. My only negative would be the breakfasts weren't the best but I think thats because of it being buffet style the bacon & eggs were sometimes not great, also the juice didn't taste right was more like really strong squash. Drinks at the bar throughout the day & evening were fine as far as my family and I could tell were not watered down, served in roughly half pint clear plasic glasses & you were able to order 2 drinks at a time per person. There was good variety on the spirits and their lager is nice I thought. The queue for the bar was really long at times but the staff were very fast serving & therefore the queue went down with in 5 minutes. Finally the entertainment. Once more I cannot think of anything majorly negative to say about the entertainment. Only that during the day it was the same things every day. They did table tennis, football and waterpolo everyday for both adults and kids (seperatly). As well as these activities they'd throw in others such as competitions in the pool like racing down the slides and colouring competitions for the kids etc. The nightime entertainment was fantastic they had mini disco everynight for kiddies then bingo (most nights), then either a show or a quiz or a karaoke, I could go on but I'm sure you get the jist! We were the 2 weeks and the shows weren't repeated. The entertainment staff were amazing, they put in long hours and tried to get everyone involved in activities without being pushy. All I can say is that we try not to visit the same place over and over, but with this place I can see why people would go back year after year. Loved every minute!!

Just got back from a weekend break at Caleta Dorada, the hotel is lovely, the staff were always polite helpfull and cheerfull, our room, 150, was clean and well equipped,and the food was lovely, its a great place for families, couples, and singles, we used the hotel as a starting point, taking full advantage of the all inclusive drinks before taking the short walk to the bars and clubs in the town, the entertainment staff and bar staff were great fun and the kids loved them,, we would certainly return to this hotel.

my daughter and i stayed at the caleta dorada for our fourth vist to fuerteventura and we had a nice time dispite that fact that first choice had gone, the weather was great like always nice and sunny and hot the in the resturant could've been improved as some nights there was nothing that my daughter would eat, the entertainment staff could have been better but there was only two of them to entertain the guests during the day and in the evening to be honest the young lady did'nt have a clue half the time and the man was doing his best but when first choice were there it was so much better because they had more entertainers there and they would even get in the pool with the kids and play with them for awhile but it was like that with the two they had there.i also felt alittle surprised by some of the younger spanish guests as one day a spanish boy about five or six decied to go to the tiolet in front of the sunbeds it was something that my daughter and i didn't wish to see to was disgusting along with a young spanish girl of around seven washing in the shower pulling her bikini bottoms away to wash her backside and private area also something that my daughter and i did not want to see also a young english boy went to the tiolet on the floor of the men's toilet i wonder where his parents where when he was doing this probally sunbathing and not paying to much attention to what their son was doing . one night the man's laptop crashed so the bingo had to be restarted and some of the shows we had seen before .so i think when i go away again i will be staying at a different hotel in fuerteventura as i wont go back to the club caleta dorada untill first choice use it again and from what i was told the manager did not want them there anymore which is such as shame as the entertainers were really good in 2006 and when we went in 2009 i for one missed them not being there what do other people think of their stay at the caleta dorada in 2011
