Melia Gorriones Hotel

I stayed at the Sol Gorriones in late summer 2004 with an allocate on arrival Thomson deal.
It is very isolated, situated down a small road right on the beach.
Upon arrival in the late evening my wife and I checked out the place and walked around the pool to be met by a large rat which instantly caused us some alarm.
The room allocated was totally unsuitable, however, the staff were first class in sorting us out a suitable alternative.
I have to say that although it required a bit of money spending on it, I have actually got really fond memories of the place. The entertainment team were very good and the guests at the hotel really got together well.
If the investment was well spent and the price right, I would give it another go.
The food was fine and once you had got over the rat incident, the quality of cleanliness was actually pretty good.
Fuerteventura is the sort of place that you meet guests again from the year before-it is simply that good- particularly if you stay near to Jandia and you are family orientated.
I understand that it was closed following some out of season flooding a year or so later and therefore received some much needed investment.
