Betancuria Holidays

My mum and Dad said they had another wonderful stay at The Royal Palm hotel adults only. This is one of their favourite hotels in Fuerteventura! Thank you!

We might call these ulra posh "granny cottages" rather than "bungallows" Or, do you remember Channel 4s "Grand Designs" an architectural TV series? These "bungallows are sort of ultra posh modern "Grand Designs" "garden rooms". Really pleasant and comfortable. The high ceilings of the "bungallows" offer a really nice sofabed space. Our "Grand Designs" "bungallow" was, however, on a quiet dead-end road, not by a shimmering azure pool or a cute paving path between bungallows. But, being on the road actually gave us the feeling of being in a house and living on a very nice street. Which was very nice. The street runs - almost level - to the beach, around a corner. The sand isn't deep and soft but it is in a safe wide cove shape. I was delighted that my precious daughter wouldn't be swept away by ocean currents. The flightpath to the airport is high, so we didn't find the planes intrusive. We like the sense of connection that resorts near airports give. At the other side of the curved Playa del Castillo is a little "marina" with a FAB restaurant called, La Mar Salada, which had FABOTASTICO gambas al ajo, prawns in garlic. Extremely nice receptionists - including a lovely girl from Argentina. In summary, we loved our stay.

The hotel is looking tired, it may of been clean but it looked dirty.

Amazing apartment, great view, really quiet, nice staff. Taxi between hotel and airport costs around 80-100 EUR. Supermarket is a 15/20 minute walk. Nice, quiet beach and nice beach bar less than a 10 minute walk. Keep in mind: Spa only opens 4h/day, for individual use of 2h. Can only be booked on arrival (no booking in advance). This means only two people/rooms can book for any given day for a 2h block. 99% chance it'll be already fully booked for the majority of your stay once you arrive. The hotel across the road has spa treatments, but sadly no day access to spa. There's no pool side bar. Bar only opens when restaurant is open for breakfast and dinner.
