Hotel Description:

The Castillo De Elba is situated in the Costa De Antigua development in Fuerteventura. It is easily accessible from the airport and located in the close distance to the beach in a quiet location, only 10km from the regional capital Puerto del Rosario. Thanks to its location and services, it is the perfect combination for family and sporting holidays or for businesspeople looking for a quite base of the island.

" Just arrived back home last night,... "

Just arrived back home last night, stayed at the castillo de elbe fuerteventura, booked flights and accomadation on the net, read reviews once all was paid for, i have to say that the hotel was very well maintained in all the communical areas, including receptions gardens and resturant and pool, i was less inpressed with the hotel accomadation, the bathroom was quite bad, the bath had large peices of filler where there were holes, the plughole was full of rust, the ceiling above was filled with filler and there was a large patch of damp and peeling paint, kitchen, the microvave was full of rust, no kettle, maid service was every day except for thursdays and sundays. breakfast was the usual things egg bacon, toast, fruits,
evening meals were bland and every thing tasted the same, laced with the same flaverings. better to eat out in the local pub (MUSTANG SALLYS)good food at a good price 6 euros would get you a good meal... friendly staff and family run.
extreamly quite location, lovely walks along the coastal road to colleta de foste where on the way you can feed the local chipmonks, charges are maid to hire the kettle, hair dryer, and remote control for television, also the heated pools, jacuzzis, and sauna/steam rooms are charged at 19.60 euros daily... good basic hotel, friendly staff, too fare from the town, would go back but would stay nearer to the night live in near the harbour and town, over all it was fine, but object to having to pay for the use of the jacuzzi/steam/sauna. other hotels that i have satyed not require payments from guests for these services. should you require a cuppa or soft drink with your evening meal then you will be charged for this too!

" After reading some not so good... "

After reading some not so good things. I was very surprised and happy. I am 21 and my partner is 28, i was told i had picked the wrong place for a young couple but we both loved it. 5 mins from airport, nice walk to the beach.

Overall, satisfied

" On the face of it, this appears to be... "

On the face of it, this appears to be a fairly presentable hotel, with good facilities and friendly staff.

We went there for the New Year and found that:-

It is situated in the wrong place. Costa Antigua is more of a building site than anything else and is a 35 minute walk from Costa Caleta De Fuste;

Aircraft pass by the building all day long as it is situated only a few kilometres from the airport;

The rooms are small, disappointing to anyone wanting to actually cook anything in them (as there were no pots or cooking utensils). Also there is little space or facility to store clothing other than hangers in a wardrobe;

The maids consistently removed the towels and did not replace them;

The beds were not changed in the full 7 days that we were there;

Not one that I would recommend to anyone to visit.

Stayed here for a week, had a great time. Apartments very nice. Big balcony overlooking pool which looked lovely lit up at night.

There is a small supermarket in the hotel but its shut on Sundays.

The courtesy bus takes you to the shopping centre or you can get dropped off near the beach.

Went on the ferry to Lanzarote and had a great time there.

I really enjoyed my stay here and the weather was great.

" Got a very cheap deal with on the... "

Got a very cheap deal with on the beach, flew with Thomas cook air which was a good flight both out and back. No transfer included, but it was only a short taxi ride from our aparthotel.

Very friendly staff at our accommodation, who made us feel very welcome.

Not much happening at Nuevo Horizonte apart from a bar called Kavannaghs and a restaurant which we didn’t go to. The staff at Kavannaghs were very nice and friendly. A cheap place to eat and drink.

We hired a car for 2 days and went round some of the island. A must see is the wreck of the American star which ran aground 12 years ago. Amazing to see some of it still there. The locals were very friendly too.

Hopped over to Lanzarote on the ferry, but waited ages for the bus to take us to Puerto del Carmen from playa Blanca. If you can take the Princess Ico boat which goes straight to Carmen, costs a bit more but its easier. It didn’t sail though on a Thursday and Sunday when we were there.

Liked Fuerteventura very much, there is also a coastal path which leads to called fuste and a free bus service from apart hotel to the shopping centre.

A very good holiday, the weather wasn’t great, but we weren’t bored. Will definitely go back.
