Barceló Fuerteventura Mar Hotel

We had an absolutely fantastic dining experience at this authentic Brazilian restaurant located right within our hotel in Fuerteventura! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel so welcome and taken care of. The concept is brilliant – a Brazilian grill where they bring over a variety of perfectly cooked meats straight to your table, all bursting with flavor.

There was also a great salad bar with plenty of fresh and tasty options to accompany the meal. What really stood out was the service – the team was incredibly attentive, always checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. Drinks were topped up without us even having to ask, and they were more than happy to bring over any extra condiments or sides with a smile.

Everyone was so friendly, which made the atmosphere even more enjoyable. It felt like a real taste of Brazil, right here in the Canary Islands.

With special thanks to Carol, Cami, Louis, Fatima, and Avril – you truly made our experience unforgettable!

Highly recommend to anyone staying at the hotel or nearby – don’t miss it!

I've stayed in this hotel twice and just booked again for the winter. The rooms are lovely and big, with air con, a fridge, great shower and comfy beds. The hotel is nicely laid out and in a great location. 1 minute from the beach and shops. I never heard any noise from anywhere either. I was lucky enough to have a ground floor room with terrace and sun loungers this year, really made my holiday. Spent the 1st afternoon laid on the sun loungers watching the little ones (and a few adults) having fun in a foam pool party, it looked amazing. Food is always good and can find something to fill you up. Only down side is you have to pay for drinks with the evening meal. I cant comment on the evening entertainment as we did not use it. Another great thing is being so close to the airport, you start your holiday less than an hour after landing 😀 I've found my happy place and hope to enjoy the hotel for many years to come.

Brilliant resort, it's huge with 8 blocks. Extremely clean, pools are ace and the Beach is spectacular. Facilities are top tier and staff are extremely attentive. We had a problem with the noisy Pub playing loud music well past 1:00 AM which was right next to our block. We reported it to the hotel staff and they quickly organised another room for for the night and next day, they changed our rooms to another block with extreme efficiency.

Very very satisfied with hotel / resort.

This hotel is truly delightful—spotlessly clean, with excellent cuisine and facilities that cater to everyone. What impresses most are the staff; they are warm, friendly, and go above and beyond to ensure your stay is stress-free. Last night, we enjoyed dinner at the Brazilian restaurant, where Carol, Avril, Dani, Ivan, and Luit took great care of us. They were wonderful hosts, and the food was plentiful and delicious. A particular highlight is the bartenders, who expertly craft cocktails with precision and flair—watching them in action is like witnessing a well-rehearsed performance before the evening show. Overall, it's a fantastic hotel with fabulous staff. Thank you!

Overall, the stay was good — the facilities were clean, food was decent for an all-inclusive, and the location is beautiful. Most of the staff were friendly and professional with the exception of one or two from the bar, who should probably look for a job somewhere else.

I did the online checkout, which showed zero outstanding fees. However, when I went to reception to return the key card, the receptionist suddenly claimed I had an outstanding balance of €30 for two burgers and a beer. I was on all-inclusive and never ordered any of those items.

When I questioned it, she brushed it off and just said, “It’s fine.” No explanation, no accountability. She just wanted to make me pay 30 euros for nothing so she can pocket them. It felt like an attempt to slip in a bogus charge hoping I wouldn’t notice. That left a bad taste at the end of what was otherwise a decent experience.

Tip: Keep your receipts, check your balance online before you leave, and don’t be afraid to challenge anything suspicious. Watch out for surprise charges.

Fabulous family hotel. Excellent location. The Beach is next to the hotel and further beaches and coves within 10/15 mins walk. The coastal walk, right outside the hotel, is perfect for pram walks/exercising. The hotel beach is large with climbing frames and plenty of room to play beach games. The sea was calm but around the corner the sea got really cropping and the waves are spectacular to watch.
The hotel/ground and nearby amenities are all wheelchair/pram accessible.
All the staff are AMAZING, efficient yet easy going and friendly. The kids club is brilliant. We’ve never used a kids club before but my 4 year old took to it immediately and ushered me to leave him on his own as he was made to feel welcomed straight away. Parents are welcome to join the kids club with younger children or stay with their older children if they wish. I joined them for a nature trail/adventure where the kids made animal spotting books and then as we did a coastal walk they drew animals which they saw. Lovely morning. There are lots of activities throughout the day to suit all ages.
We slept great, the beds are so comfy and the hotel is quiet and relaxing.
The hotel is very clean and well kept.
The room keepers were so lovely and serviced our room daily as they knew we were a family with small children who were potty training.
The breakfast buffet was plentiful and delicious. Very organised with plenty of staff moving things along. We opted for bed and breakfast but perhaps should have gone all inclusive as the local restaurants we tried were nothing special.
The only thing that we didn’t like about the hotel was the salt water in the pools. The pools and pool area are great but the salt water stung our boys eyes and they like snorkelling around a pool which they didn’t want to do in the salt water. But that’s just our preference.

Overall a brilliant stay. The location was very good and having a beach right outside was perfect. Hotel itself was clean and well maintained. Service on the front desk was also excellent and welcoming but the dining room not so much. Rooms were great although bathroom was looking a little dated. Would recommend!
