Used the bungalow as a base to tour the island on a motorbike. Friendly and professional staff. Proximity to the airport meant that a taxi costs less than €20, worth bearing in mind as taxis are expensive. The bungalow itself, curiously has both a front and rear door enabling a good flow of air and alternate places to sit during the day. Whilst aspects of the interior were undoubtably tired, such as the kitchen units and bathroom fittings, the interior paint was in good condition and the bungalow was cleaned regularly to a high standard by the domestic staff, limited cooking utensils are available, so easy notes is the order of the day. Swimming pool is huge, quality of the water was very good and disinfected with salt instead of chlorine. There are also some excellent, reasonably priced restaurants and supermarkets within a short walking distance from the development. Unfortunately, there is a considerable amount of work taking place to the front of the complex to improve the roads and drainage which necessities having to (in my case) ride around the block to get back into the car park, a minor inconvenience. Lastly, perfect location for those who ‘spot planes’ because the complex is on the flight path of landing aircraft. On balance, more positives than negatives, worked fir me.

The stuff wasn't helpful at all . This place isn't family friendly as they didn't even have a highchair for babies . Any time I asked for it, they said "I'll speak to my boss " that was for 9 days . Really sad . And also found cockroaches in our apartment in the kitchen and next to out bed . Would come back and wouldn't recommend it either as the food is horrible, no fresh food, everything frozen or caned . I do appreciate everything in life , but this place is just so much disappointment. Sorry about the harsh words , but this is the truth .

Very efficient friendly check in.Clean appartment. Nice that you now have free loungers on your own porch. Pool lovely but freezing so not used more than once. Would have liked informing that they were working on plumbing as got covered with gush of black water. Overall very happy with our stay as convenient for town and bus station and it was a good price and would happily return

Great holiday!
Our bungalow was very tidy and clean and reception was very friendly and helpful. Only a short walk from the centre of the town and the beach. Had fun playing mini-golf and visiting some of the local more traditional restaurants. Very convenient buses to other areas on the island. Paradise Park worth a visit.

Great value
We had low expectations because we paid so little, but were generally pretty happy. Basic room but had all we needed and linen and towels were changed regularly. Kids loved the games room, although whichever parent accompanied them usually cursed their luck! Cheap and friendly bar for the adults. Pool was colder than the sea but we anticipated that and brought wetsuits. No oven so had to fry, boil or microwave all our meals but it was still better than most of the fare on offer in Caleta - didn't really find a restaurant offering proper local or spanish food except when we got the bus to Gran Tarajal and went to a proper fish restaurant.

great location, nice, quiet and relaxing.
Great bungalows in great location. Could be updated, but loved the idea of each bungalow having own private area outside front door where you can hire 2 sunbeds for 5 euro each from reception and enjoy the sun without moving. Staff great, nothing was a problem. Lovely and quiet and so relaxing, we would have stayed longer if we could. Would 100% recommend these bungalows.

Convenient and clean.
My wife, 7m old baby and I have just returned and while the accommodation is basic, it's excellent value for money. You need to pay for fan, heater, TV etc but we didn't need any of it anyway in November.. It's a short walk to the main restaurants and bars in the area and there are also a couple of decent well stocked shops about 10 minutes walk up the hill. The pool was pretty chilly in November as its not heated. We got a crib for junior no problem and the bungalows are a decent size for a couple with young kids. There is also decent ramp access.

Basic apartments, beach a building site
Not the fault of the apartments, but if you're thinking of going here bear in mind that the (artificial) beach at the resort is undergoing major and slow work and looks dreadful. Find out if it's completed or go somewhere else. The apartments are in very well-tended grounds, have what you need and are generally clean and designed so that balconies are not overlooked. The pool is good. Location is good (whereas the properties up the hill are dreadful). However, the pool bar and games room is below basic and the apartments are old and tired. Also our apartment had friendly cockroaches in the bath if we forgot to leave the plug in. Not the flatmates you would choose.

Good location, 10 mins by public bus from the airport to Caletta's bus terminus then 5 mins walk, only 1.4 euros. 10 mins walk to the beach and restaurants. There is a supermarket and a few bars 5 mins away. The complex does need a lick of paint, literally and metaphorically(they were doing this during my stay)but it is nice and clean. The full English breakfasts at the pool bar (0800-1000)are excellent and good value at 5 euros.

Another lovely 10 days spent at Fuertesol Bunglows. We stay here twice a year. The bungalows are well located to the commercial centre and the beach. The rooms are basic but always clean, with the whole complex well maintained. A nice quiet, relaxing place to stay.
