“Still Here And Loving It!”

Admittedly, we are still on holiday here, but I felt the need to write a review because there seem to be some mixed opinions about this lovely hotel. We arrived as a couple (myself and my husband) quite late on Tuesday 28th July. We were greeted by Jose (I really hope I’ve got his name right!), who was absolutely lovely. He explained everything we needed to know, made us feel really welcome and got our holiday off to a great start. Our room is a good size and includes a safe, double bed, sofa, TV and dressing table. It has everything we’ve needed, and we’ve found it to be clean and comfortable throughout our stay. The food has been lovely so far. There’s plenty of choice, with lots of traditional Spanish dishes alongside freshly cooked options such as BBQ meats, chicken kebabs and steak at lunch and dinner, and the selection changes every day. There are also some familiar options such as pizza and pasta if you prefer something simpler. If you’re travelling with children or very selective eaters, it’s worth bearing in mind that the buffet is geared more towards a variety of dishes than lots of child-friendly favourites. Branded ice creams are available to purchase, but both the restaurant and pool bar also offer complimentary little pots of ice cream with sauce and sprinkles, which have been a lovely treat after meals. Artim from the entertainment team is fantastic. He’s friendly, approachable and always encouraging people to join in with activities such as AquaGym without ever being pushy. He’s a real credit to the hotel. Every member of staff we’ve met has been friendly and welcoming. Kindness goes a long way—please remember that the staff are here to help you enjoy your holiday and deserve to be treated with respect. A smile and a simple “hola” are always appreciated. Yes, the hotel is quieter than some larger resorts, the pool is on the smaller side, and there are optional extras available if you wish to purchase them. However, nobody pressures you into buying anything, and we actually love the relaxed atmosphere. For us, the smaller size of the hotel is one of its biggest strengths. It feels peaceful, intimate and never overcrowded, which suits us perfectly. We’ve also loved the lovely breeze that keeps the temperature comfortable, especially around the pool. Overall, we’ve had a wonderful stay so far and honestly can’t fault the hotel. We’d happily return. ❤️ Tips from our stay so far: * 🌬️ It gets surprisingly chilly in the evenings, so bring a cardigan or hoodie. * 💨 Yes, it really is windy! Fuerteventura is known as the “Windy Island,” so don’t be surprised by the breeze—it actually makes the heat much more comfortable. * 💧 The tap water wasn’t to our taste, so we’d recommend buying bottled water. HiperDino directly across the road sells large bottles for under €1.50. * ⏰ The hotel runs to a very organised schedule. Meal times, bar opening hours and pool opening times are followed quite closely, which we personally liked, but it may not suit everyone. * 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 If you’re travelling with young children or particularly selective eaters, this may not be the ideal hotel. It’s much better suited to couples or adults looking for a quieter, more relaxing holiday. * 🏖️ If you’re looking for a peaceful, laid-back hotel rather than a busy resort packed with entertainment, this place is ideal. Beach is also about a ten minute walk away and there’s shops and restaurants around too. *✈️ Hotel is about an hour away from the airport. Although we haven’t finished our holiday yet, I really wanted to write this review. We are so impressed with Golden Beach and we love it here. Thank you so much to the whole team.❤️

“Not an adults only hotel & not for the traveler requiring peace and quiet”

I booked my trip through Thomas Cook as an adults only hotel. On my 1st day i was rather perturbed to have 2 children uner the age of 10 running & jumping & splashing in the pool with an inflatable right in front of me. The signs by the pool clearly stating, no jumping, running or inflatables & the life guard doing nothing to deter them, parent sat over the other side of the pool on their phone unaware of the potential danger. I put up with being soaked & listening to the screaming for 30 mins then went to reception to ask why there were children there, to be told from May - Sept they do accept children, stated on their website. At no point would i have booked the holiday knowing this & it not being advertised on TC website. I booked it as a relaxing wk away to find music blasting daily from 10-5 by the pool area with daily aerobics & a foam party. If i wanted that I would have gone to Ibiza or Burlins!
