Fanabe Costa Sur Hotel

i am no travel critic,but i know good when i see it and this aint a 4star hotel.The staff are friendly and helpful. the rooms are cleaned daily but youbetter like the news channels,thats all you get in english.I had a room overlooking the front and the noise was constant.You make friends real quickly by the pool as your only six inches away from the next sunbed.The pool is ok but the sun is on one half in the morning and the other half in the afternoon.The canteen, yes canteen is chaos.it takes a couple of days to work out were to find things and when you do you wonder why you bothered.Go half an hour before it closes and you might get a table to your selves.The AI is a waste of time unless your an alcoholic.We ended up eating out to save our sanity.AH, the roof terrece is ok.

I would recommend this Hotel, Rooms very clean and Spacious, Food very nice, good variety and choice. The only complaint was being charged every day for the Bed to go on the Sunlounger, Big rip off. Also if you want to upgrade your Board Status to All inclusive do so in England because the Hotel Charges 23Euro's per person per day. The Staff very Pleasant except the Bar Staff.

We visited Fanabe Costa Sur Feb 2009. The rooms were great clean with great balcony view. Great location only 5-10 min walk to beach, shops across the road, tuesdays and thursdays cheap market near by. Great Amenities eg. Tennis court, football pitch, golf course and lots more. Restaurant busy in winter so i would think there would be a lot of waiting in line in the summer but apart from that great food.

we arrived early hours of the morning,to our surprise we were told that a cold buffet was available for us if we were hungry,[never had that option before]we were grateful after a long trip,our room was just as requested sea view,spotless very comfortable.rooms cleaned everyday,fresh towels given,we were all inclusive ,had tv in room [rarely used] restaurant was spotless.waiters waitresses nicely dressed and only too willing to help,the food was excellent,plenty to choose from.all named so you knew what you was eating,as soon as a plate was emptied it was taken away ,you could eat as much as you liked.i did[hence gained half a stone] the desserts were just as yummy. ther was also a buffet outside with a selection of ham,cheese,cakes ,all kept hygenically in refridgeration.oh and a fantastic selection of flavoured ice creams,with scoops to put in tubs[you must try the rum and raisin]this was available all day. the evening entertainment was nt too bad.had male singers ,flamenco dancers,and our fave was the animation team who put on a show from grease.they mimed the songs words to perfection.the dancing was really really good [our fave show of the week] they put there all into iy.well done to them,goodness knows what time they had to rehearse that.nothing was too much trouble with the staff.we were a short walk from the sea,sand is black but further up its normal sand,we have the local bus service next to hotel,also a market there twice a week.opposite two shopping centres,and more within a short walk from hotel,a trip to los cristianos was just over a euro each,local buses i recommend much cheaper than taxis though they not too bad .transfer to hotel is about 30 to 40 mins. you can sunbathe on the roof wher there are sunbeds ,few umbrellas,2 pools [cold water]but great to cool down,children not allowed in pool[for obvious reasons,the roof is not a place for kids.we never used the sauna,jacussi.gym.the only downside of hol was that the sun beds at the main pool .only one side of pool side had the sun,the other was in the shade,as we did not have children we never saw it as a problem,we will return to the hotel,we had a lovelly relaxed hol.

i have just returned from my 2 week stay at the fanabe hotel in costa adejeand i have to say although i had a fantastic holiday, i was thoroughly diappointed with the hotel, now dont get me wrong im not snobby but this hotel was not a 4 star hotel.
al start with the food at first it started off fine something we could all eat(we went as a family m, my partner ,our 2 children, my mum n dad and my younger sister aged 17)but after around 4 days the food started to get quite repetitive with chips and chicken on the menu everyday also salad but no meat only cheese to eat with it which may i ad was rubbery cheese and anything else that was on offer was covered in grease. for the 2 weeks we were there my 8 yr old daughter was well for 4 days ,the rest of the time she was ill with 1 thing or another which i put down to the disgusting food,my dad was also ill for 4 days my mum had an upset tum , me my 4 yr old and my partner all got head colds and headaches which we put down to the filth in the pool, now here comes the confusing part we watched the caertaker clean the pool every morning and they painted round the sides of it yet if you went under water with goggles on the pool was misty dirty and things floating in it like plasters, hairs, string off bikinis, that was to name a few and that was just the downstairs pool dont even get me started on the 2 upstairs pools. then this brings me to the bar staff, completely ignorant unless your spanish which might i add 9 people out of 10 were in this hotel it was rare you heard an english voice, and the drinks could not get u drunk what so ever we actually sat one night and drank every drink on the all inclusive menu and went to bed completely sober very disapointing and i am completely put off going all inclusive again as there was no point.i have to say it wasnt all that bad the rooms were very clean and cleaned every day with clean towels everyday we left a little tip everyday for our maid because she always did a great job, and the location of the hotel was really good away from the noisy bars but close enough for ya to crawl home which we did many a night.

well, me and my boyfriend never made plans to stay at this hotel, we were meant to be half way home when we arrived here!
The story is, our plane was delayed 29 hours and 30 mins, and after a few hours wait at the airport, first choice ended up putting all 250 passagers in this lovely hotel!
After checking in, by the wonderful hotel staff, we were given stunning rooms!!! then meal tickets to have our dinner ( were all very hungry ) you could eat as much as you like and still go back for more!!! it was great!!! beautiful food.
The waiters though were running about like madmen! made you ill watching them! but, i dont think they knew what hit them with an extra 250 scottish folk! haha
We had expected to be heading home in the morning, but a rep came to the hotel lobby to tell us all that we had to wait untill 3 o'clock to find out about returning to the airport, so we then had breakfast and lunch! again, all was beautiful food! (funny tasting bacon though )
With such a long wait inbetween meals and updates from the reps, me and boyfriend walked about the hotel, which had a rather small gym, 5 euros for the day, but they shut at 1 and open again at 4. hardly worth it. we seen a hairdressers which was nice. loads of things for kids to do which was tempting for us!!!
even though we didnt plan to stay here, we would recommed it!!!!!

I absolutely loved this hotel i could not find fault in it one bit, there wasa wide range of food to choose from, the entertainment was very enjoyable and the pool, well i couldnt have asked for a better one.
The room was very clean, there was a blackout curtain which made the room very cool when coming in from a hot day + the room was cleaned daily by very pleasent maids that greeted you as you left your room.
The pool area was extremely big + the pool was as clean as you can get
All in all i had a fabulous holiday + came home with a glowing tan (:
HIGHLY RECCOMENDED- do not listen to all the negative comments it is definately worth visiting.

we arrived at the fananbe for a short break , we were four ladies celebrating our friends 40th birthday.we arrived and had a warm welcome. our room was very clean and to a high standard,the rooms were cleaned everyday with clean towels.The food was exellent ,as i am a very fussy eater! There was a selection of pasta, vegetables ,salads ,cold meats, casseroles and plenty of different cheese dishes.If u want a chill out holiday this is the place to go, we thoroughly enjoyed the evening entertainment it was all jiving.The staff were so friendly they could not do enough for u.We would highly recommend this hotel ,we had a BALL! The pool was very clean and lovely.Thanks to kathryn donna and karen for a fab holiday ,love sam xxx
