TUI Magic Life Fuerteventura

Currently here as a family of 4 with 2 rooms.

The Good Points

The pools are nice if a little cold. The activity program is good. Room is cleaned every day. Cleaning team for our block are really nice. Hotel grounds are well maintained and look nice. Good gym facilities. Food was left for us upon late arrival. Bottle of water and 2 cans of pop in the room for arrival.

The bad points

Food is pretty poor, everything is either cold or slightly warm. It is such a large dining room and understand the logistics of feeding so many people but its just a bit poorly managed.

Snack bar food is also poor, pizzas taste awful and they can only make 2 at a time. 1 person took 7 slices for themselves yesterday.

1 of our rooms had an air conditioning machine that sounded like a digger and leaked a large amount of water on to the floor. so we reported it and they eventually sent someone to the room who took it apart, said they had fixed it and it was doing exactly the same. Reported this to reception again nearly 24 hours ago and still waiting for someone to "fix" it.

Our other rooms has 2 problems that the cleaner even noticed and reported herself. The first is the shower, you have to wait 5 minutes before the next person can go in otherwise it floods the bathroom because it drains so slowly. The second is one of the beds has its brake missing (they are all on wheels) so when you get on the bed it glides around and is quite dangerous. We have reported this to reception 3 times on 3 different days and we are still waiting for someone to come and replace, we have just gave up. Bet they respond to this review quicker.

Bar staff in the main evening bar are terrible. I have never seen somebody make drinks so fast with such little care. The little guy behind the bar never goes 4 or 5 people without making a mistake. It is so poor. If he took his time he would achieve the same output. He could also be a little less rude. As for the cocktails, don't bother. They don't taste very nice and are all made from a machine.

Overall we are disappointed with the resort and this will be our only visit.

We recently returned from a magical week at TUI Magic Life Fuerteventura, and our whole family is so grateful for the experience. Honestly, the resort and every member of staff were brilliant from start to finish — but two people in particular went so far above and beyond that we simply have to shout about them: Emily and Benny in the gym and wellness suite. From the moment we met them, it was clear these two are exceptional at what they do. As trainers, they’re spot on — genuinely attentive to every guest, always making sure you’re doing exercises safely and correctly. But what really set them apart was the warmth they brought to everything. Walking into the wellness suite felt like being welcomed by friends, not just checked in by staff. They took the time to get to know each of us individually, understand what we wanted from our stay, and made sure nobody (there was a broad range of ages, nationalities and capabilities) was ever left out of a group activity. By the end of the week, it was obvious Emily and Benny had built real relationships with everyone attending their classes. They were so encouraging and full of positive energy that we found ourselves trying classes we’d never normally have the confidence for — and loved every single one! We honestly surprised ourselves with how many sessions we ended up signing up for. They were brilliant with our kids too, especially with the “muscle licence” and teen gym sessions, which our children absolutely loved. It’s genuinely hard to put into words just how brilliant Benny and Emily were, but we wanted to say a huge, massive thank you for being consistently warm, encouraging, and for making the fitness side of our holiday so much fun. At the end of the day, it’s people who make a place, and Emily and Benny are proof of that. They deserve real recognition for the positive memories they’ve given our family and all the guests in the fitness area for the entire week we were there — memories that will stay with us for a very long time⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🏋️💪

Rooms: The room was great. We had a see view and were near to the pool, gym and restaurant. It’s a fairly big site and has a slope from back to front but it’s very Manageable. The hotel room and the hotel in General are immaculately maintained. There is an army of staff constantly cleaning and maintaining the communal areas.

Nearby activities: It’s at the quieter end of the island but there’s loads to do on site. Over the course of the week our family did archery; tennis; outdoor movies; beach volleyball; aqua fit; table tennis, pool … the list goes on and most importantly for the kids there was a pick up football/ soccer match in the evenings at the court from 9pm to 11pm when the lights went out.. There are looky looky men selling the usual knock off gear in using football kits; bags; sunnies etc in the market in the local town on Thursdays from the morning to 2pm… it’s 12€ in a taxi each way…

SafetyVery safe location. Happy to let the kids roam around.

Walkability: very manageable.

Food and drinks it was our first time going all inclusive. There was lots of food and a good variety over the week. It’s a big resort and it can be crowded at times so it’s best go earlier in the session if possible because some options will be gone inevitably by the end. But in most cases, the food was replenished quickly. All credit to the staff who are so patient, friend and efficient at keeping the food stocked and the restaurant clean given the large turnover of guests.

There are 3 speciality restaurants (Spanish; Italian and Asian) you can go to once in your week stay. These looked booked out on the app but the service desk got us a reservation. The variety was good.

Intro: Travelled 22/08/26 - 29/08/26 with my two daughters aged 16 and 12. First time in Fuerteventura and this was a bonus 2nd holiday after going to Majorca in July as a family of four. We have stayed in numerous 4 star hotels across the Balearics and Canaries over the last ten years and I was nervous about travelling without my husband to a new location but we throughly enjoyed and felt really welcome and safe.

General: Fuerteventura weather was perfect for us! The breeze/wind in the day was so much more pleasant than the blistering humid heat of Majorca in July. It could get windy in the evening and we wore light jackets/hoodies a few nights but I much preferred that to sweltering every evening. We also had zero sightings/ bites from mosquitoes, which compared to be bitten alive in Majorca, was an absolute blessing and honestly was such a positive.

Transfers: It was about 1 hour 10 mins shared coach transfer (TUI) that went straight to the hotel and straight to the airport on the way home. All well arranged. On arrival I think the whole coach got off at this hotel (Cardiff flights) so the queue for check in was long but the reception staff did all they could to quicken the process.

Location: We didnt leave the hotel other than to go to the beach as we didn't feel the need to, there is so much to do in hotel. The access to the beach (via steep steps) was no issue and made a lovely walk. The beach is beautiful.

Room: Stayed in room 12108 (block 12). I reserved this in advance (140€) Lovely room, clean, spacious, comfy beds, nice view over the shallow part of the pool (pool bar area) and sea. Really liked that there were complementary cans of coke/fanta on arrival in the fridge (these do not get restocked). Air con was good but a little noisy (I am a light sleeper though, it didn't wake my kids up). The room was also close to the pools and restaurants which suited us.

Food: Ok so the food at the Magico or pool bar isn't gourmet but for the size of the hotel we all thought it was really good. Magico: Very large restaurant with self serve drinks. All food well cooked, hot and tasty. Lots of variety. Disclaimer....we went to the Magico at opening times and being some of the first into the restaurant definitely makes a difference. Eating when its quiet makes the experience much less chaotic. Pool Bar: Opens at 1.30pm and big queues form but they go quickly. Food is different each day, always chips and a few other options from burgers/hot dogs/baguettes/pizza/garlic bread....all very tasty. Fab ice cream bar also. We didn't attend any of the speciality restaurants (due to a very picky 12 yr old eater) but they looked lovely.

Drinks: Self service at the pool bar for cokes/fanta/beer/wine. Bar service available for cocktails/spirits and never much of a queue. Plaza bar (evenings) bar service and the staff work so fast so never much of a queue. I have to say that barman David was brilliant and remembered our drinks and had them ready when I was in the queue (before I even asked for them).

Entertainment: We went to the Plaza bar every evening and some of the entertainment started quite late but it was a lovely atmosphere and we had a blast at the silent disco (definitely one not to miss).

Pools: We stayed around the large pool in the day. It didn't seem to be heated and was a touch chilly but once in it wasn't a problem. It was never overcrowded, always so much room for a swim and splash around. Big inflatables are allowed and plenty of space for them. Good areas of shallow vs deep sections for different ages.

Sunbeds: I would normally be down the pool by 8am (I am an early riser) and would be one of the first. From what I saw sunbeds were available most days until 10am. Around 9am/9.30am staff would remove towels from sunbeds without anyone on them. I thought this worked well (have stayed at hotels where unattended towels reserved all sunbeds by 7am)

Shops on site: The shops had all the little extras we needed and a lovely selection of the usual tourist gifts. Some of the things could probably be found cheaper elsewhere but we didnt find the priceing unreasonable for the convenience of having everything on site.

Sports: We didn't take part in any of the classes etc as that wasn't what we wanted from our holiday but the classes looked very professional and the gym looked massive with very good equipment

Other: I downloaded the Magic life app to reserve our room in advance and it was great for keeping track on activities/entertainment. Plus this is how you book the speciality restaurants.

Overall we had a wonderful week, had great fun and found it value for money (paid just over 2k for the week excluding room reservation).

Thank you TUI Magic LIfe Fuerteventura ✨️
