INNSiDE by Meliá Fuerteventura - Adults only

Second time at this hotel, and its was even better than I expected. Staff are so friendly professional and go the extra extra mile across all the services. Rooms super clean and comfortable, lovely views. Whilst the hotel was pretty full it didn’t feel crowded or super busy, with lovely terrace snd bar to chill out before and after dinner. Restaurant was quite hectic early evening but food constantly refreshed by staff who moved swiftly and efficiently without impacting on the dining experience. Variety of cuisines, pasta, fish , and roast meats . As vegetarians we enjoyed lots of different fresh fruit , salads , vegetables , cheeses etc maybe a bit more variety week to week would be even better if you are there longer than a few days . Location, is great for a relaxing holiday on wonderful endless beach, and perfect for windsurfing/kiting , strolling on beach. short taxi ride to town which is fine for bare essentials, nice tapas bars, 25 mins to Jandia also good to vist for bit of shopping. Yoga/pilates - Great instructors, a few mornings on the terrace overlooking the beach. with the sun gradually coming round, onto terrace , fantastic way and sense of wellbeing start to the day. Undoubtedly we hope to return .

Just back from our second great holiday at INNside, Fuerteventura. If you want a quiet holiday in a beautiful location with stunning views, this is for you. The room was lovely and the staff were very welcoming and helpful, in particular Ivan Castillo at reception (and his colleague, also called Ivan), who met our every need, and in the restaurant - Pedro, Giulia and Yamile who were always efficient and cheerful. This holiday would suit people who enjoy long walks along an amazing coastline but who also want the comforts of a great hotel at the beginning and end of the day.

A very relaxing ‘Adult Only’ hotel on the south of the island. It you are looking to get some R&R in a quiet and rare white beach location, then this is a great choice. The hotel is positioned in a hillside and looks over a very long white beach with a lagoon in front. The lagoon fills and empties depending on the moon (we never saw the lagoon filled in our week. I think it fills and empties on a 2 week cycle). The hotel is well maintained and everything was clean (communal areas thoroughly cleaned on a daily basis) and all staff friendly and helpful. We opted for a ‘studio’ which comes with a slightly bigger room than the standard ones plus a stand alone bath and a more extensively stocked mini fridge which was refreshed every day. I’m sure a standard room would have been fine as they all look over to the beach. The hotel has a lovely pool which wasn’t too busy and there was no ‘reserving sunbeds’ policy which was nice. The pool is a good length for those who like to clock up some lengths. The pool staff were very attentive and alway on hand to help with moving sun shades around when needed. Beach/pool towels are included and could be changed with the pool staff. The spacious restaurant is self service with a lovely grill on the go at both breakfast & dinner. The food choices are extensive and we found most options to be of excellent quality except the puddings which looked nice but never tasted quite so good but the fresh fruits choice was good so we opted for that after a few days! We were allocated a breakfast and dinner time but because the hotel wasn’t full, it didn’t seem to matter when you arrived for breakfast or dinner. We enjoyed the Pilates & Yoga classes which are included in the price of the room. The classes can be booked at reception and run on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday & Friday from 8am The classes were lead by Annika and David from Inspira Fitness who are excellent instructors and able to cater for mixed ability classes. There is also a gym to use which was empty every time we visited. There is little else around in the immediate vicinity (which adds to the charm of this hotel). The closest town is Costa Calma where there are a few shops, including a Spar to buy extra provisions but to be honest, that is the only reason to visit. It is a 20-30 minute walk from the hotel on a small back road. If you want to explore further, it is probably worth hiring a car which is what we did. The only disappointment was the lack or wind for water sports at this time of the year (November). Apparently, the best time to visit for water sport is March - August so if visiting outside of these months then it is a risk to book and pay for classes in advance. There were several other hotel guests who were also hoping to do water sports so the lack of wind at this time of the year is not widely advertised. There is a much larger hotel located directly behind the Adult only hotel. It is currently closed as under an expensi

Another great holiday - many thanks to Aleksandra and the whole team - ALL the staff are polite ,professional and efficient but friendly at the same time (special thanks to the 2 Ivans on reception).

Gracias . Robert & Alison

Enjoyed 16 nights in the Beach House. The Beach House was a penthouse suite with panoramic 180 degrees views over the nature from each of the two balconies. It was stylish and spacious, well equipped (including 2 toilets, 3 showers, fridge and coffee/tea making facilities) with plenty of storage space and very comfortable bed. We appreciated the daily 'snack treats' and restocked mini bar. We loved the relaxed ambience, modern architecture and interior design, including the lovely gardens. All the staff were exceptionally helpful, attentive and affable. The chef /restaurant and reception teams deserve special mention. The quality and variety of the delicious buffet breakfasts and dinners were outstanding. Our favourites were the 'bubbly', omelettes and finger food at breakfast; and the local cheeses, cold soups, joints and paella in the evening. The stunning beach front location is very special and deserves protection. There are beautiful views over the every changing lagoon (with precious birdlife) and the unique ecosystem that is the Jandia Natural Park. This means the Melia Hotels are in prime position to lead much needed eco-tourism on Fuerteventura, including advocating for the protection of National Park status. Thank-you. We will return.

I stayed at INNside by Melia Fuerteventura and overall had a pleasant experience, but there were a few aspects that didn’t quite meet expectations, especially considering the price. The hotel is secluded, lovely, and quiet, making it a peaceful spot for relaxation. The rooms are well-designed with comfortable beds, a nice balcony, and all the basic amenities like a fridge, wardrobe, and safe. However, a couple of things could be improved in the rooms, like the lack of a kettle for tea/coffee and the poor ventilation in the bathroom, which made it steam up after a shower. The staff were very nice and helpful throughout our stay, which added to the positive experience. Every evening, there was some form of entertainment in the main bar, which was a nice touch to unwind and enjoy the atmosphere. The pool area and sun loungers were quite small. Luckily, we didn’t struggle to find space, but I imagine others may have. Additionally, it was a bit annoying that the hotel allows people to vape outside while you’re trying to relax by the pool or elsewhere. The service was good overall, but we were often told that many items were out of stock when ordering at the bar or restaurant. The breakfast was enjoyable, but there were only two stations for hot beverages, so we had to queue, which was a bit inconvenient. On one occasion, I also noticed ants crawling near the bread station during breakfast, which was a bit off-putting. We decided to try the dinner buffet, but it was massively overpriced and offered very limited choices. The food wasn’t great, so we ended up heading to Costa Calma and Morro del Jable for dinner, where the food was much more affordable and tastier. Another downside was the limited provision of water in the room — just two small bottles. There are no water fountains available, only a small dispenser at reception. In conclusion, while the hotel itself is nice and peaceful, I felt that the value for money was lacking. The space, food, and service could be improved, especially considering the cost of staying here.
