We have just come home from a week long holiday at the Princess Hotel. We had an amazing time. The hotel/resort was one of the nicest hotels we have visited. The hotel is well decorated throughout and it feels like they have gone the extra mile to give it a beautiful aesthetic vibe.
The food was very good quality for all inclusive and there was an options of snack bars for lunch as well.
Overall we had a lovely time and felt it was a beautiful hotel with everything you needed. The only comment we would make is sometimes at the restaurants some of the staff seemed a little bit rude. We would say thank you and they would often look away and ignore us. This made it a bit awkward although I feel this might have been to do with a language barrier. The reception and bar staff were so friendly, welcoming and helpful.
This was our fourth time staying at the Fuerteventura Princess, and once again we had a lovely time.
To be honest, we’ve never had a problem here. The staff are always so friendly and helpful, and nothing is ever too much trouble. Any requests we’ve made during our stays have always been sorted without any fuss, which makes such a difference.
The food has always been good, the drinks are good, and everywhere is kept clean. The hotel grounds are also really well looked after. There’s always a good atmosphere around the hotel too, which makes it a really enjoyable place to stay.
The location is another big plus for us. There’s a supermarket just up the road, which is really handy, and the transfer from the airport isn’t too long either, so you’re not spending ages travelling once you arrive.
We also really appreciate the little touches, like the toiletries and other amenities they provide in the rooms. It’s those small things that make you feel that a bit of thought has gone into making your stay comfortable.
Personally, I honestly can’t fault the place. We obviously wouldn’t keep coming back if we didn’t enjoy it, and the fact that this was our fourth visit probably says it all!
We’ll definitely be coming back again. Thanks to all the staff for another great stay!
This was my 4th visit to this hotel, having previously loved it for what it was - affordable, comfortable, a fantastic beach and a great sports bar.
However, it's clear that they have cut costs to an incredible level, and the hotel is massively worse for it. I would not recommend staying here at all.
I spent 10 days in block 6, and I'll highlight the issues:
Every morning, without fail, the cold water would run out. Around 8am, it was impossible to shower as it was boiling hot, and on at least 3 occasions the water stopped completely so couldn't flush the toilet or use the sink.
The restaurant is so poor. They have the tiniest glasses available, to fill up with shocking drink choices. The food is average at best, and lacks variety.
The siroco outdoor restaurant used to be a bit of a highlight. You could have breakfast there, sitting outside overlooking the beach, it was great. Now, I assume to cut costs, they've changed it to only being open 11.30 - 5pm. The food they serve is atrocious. They have built glass walls to block the outside options, so you now sit in a large sauna overheating from the lack of air conditioning, able to see the ocean without any of the joy of sitting outside.
The drinks are so bad. The pre made, machine distributed cocktails are sickly sweet processed nonsense. The upgrade to AI premium still doesn't get you all the drinks, so after booking All Inclusive, and then paying €12 a day extra to upgrade to AI premium, you still can't get all the drinks you'd expect. I've never seen such a system before, they need to rename all inclusive to 'semi inclusive' to be accurate.
They have less staff, the queues at the bars are madness in the evenings.
The lack or air conditioning in the main restaurant is awful. They claim it's due to the heat outside, but it's 100% cost cutting again not to run it fully or upgrade the system.
Overall, this hotel is a 4* due to location and pools. In reality, it's a 2* at best. I cannot recommend enough that you book a different hotel in Jandia, so you can enjoy the beach without having to be in the Princess mediocrity.
We arrived at 1.30 am and our room patio door wouldn't close and air con didn't work, not ideal arriving at that time with a 6 year old. No one available to look at it so ended up having a very warm night. However the hotel pools and location next to the beach was lovely. The activities especially for children was very disappointing and the evening entertainment was absolutely awful. No shower facilities for people departing later in the day (we were told to shower in the pool showers) and no opportunity to pay to keep a room for late checkout even though it is advertised ( we asked several times) However the worse part of the stay was how miserable the staff are. They smile and chat between themselves but it is not the case for customers even with the children they are none responsive and grumpy . Very disappointing
I don't usually leave negative reviews, but after paying almost £2,400 for two people for a week, I feel it's important to share our experience. Our stay got off to a poor start. We arrived late at night to a slow check-in, were given very little information about the resort, and then had to drag our luggage down a steep hill to our room in the dark. We were told food was available for late arrivals but weren't told where to find it, so after wandering around the large resort for a while, we gave up and went to bed hungry. The room was disappointing for a 4-star hotel. There was no minibar, no welcome snacks or soft drinks, and the air conditioning was extremely weak throughout our stay. We also had an ongoing ant problem, with ants regularly appearing in the bathroom, on towels and even on pillows. Housekeeping was another frustration. They usually arrived between 10am and 11am while we were getting ready. Despite asking several times if they could return later, we were always told "tomorrow", meaning our room was only cleaned once during the week. The buffet restaurant was one of the biggest disappointments. Despite being advertised as air conditioned, it was extremely hot and uncomfortable, making meal times something we often dreaded. Cleanliness could also have been better, with sticky tables, missing cutlery and ants occasionally visible. Food labelling was often vague, which could be difficult for anyone with allergies or dietary requirements. Service was mixed. Some staff, particularly the chefs at the pasta station, were friendly and hardworking, but some bar staff came across as uninterested. Long queues at both bars and the buffet were common. Other issues included having to refill a small 500ml water bottle at stations around the resort, a lack of room service, daily exercise classes outside our room early in the morning, and sunbed reserving being unenforced despite hotel rules. We only managed to get poolside sunbeds on two days out of seven. There were some positives. The resort looks impressive at first glance, the beach is lovely, and some staff members were excellent. However, the service, cleanliness, room issues and dining experience fell well below what we expected from a 4-star hotel. Sadly, we wouldn't return and felt disappointed with what was a significant amount of money to spend on a holiday.
