This is a big hotel carefully designed to make it feel like a small hotel with personal service. The rooms are spacious and the beds comfortable. All the staff are friendly and help to keep the hotel running smoothly. We have eaten in both restaurants and the quality and range of choice is excellent. We particularly loved the mexican restaurant where Daniela, Migual, Adrian and Pilar were fun and friendly, which i am sure is thanks to the excellent manager who has his finger on the ball. We werent expecting entertainment so it was a lovely surprise. I feel that the only thing that needs reviewing is reception and in particular , checking in. We had already checked in on line but still waited 20 minutes which i feel is too long. Perhaps one member of staff could be dedicated to those who have already checked in on line. The staff at reception were friendly and helpful once you spoke to them.
Overall an excellent stay and we will certainly come back and also hopefully visit other Barcelo Hotels

Our stay at Fuerterventure Mar was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. The hotel creates a warm, welcoming atmosphere the moment you arrive, with friendly staff who genuinely go out of their way to make guests feel comfortable and cared for.
The rooms were spotless, spacious, and thoughtfully designed, offering a perfect balance of comfort and style. We especially loved the peaceful ambiance — it made relaxing after a day of exploring incredibly easy. The beds were very comfortable, and everything felt fresh, modern, and well-maintained.
The location is another major highlight. It’s ideally situated for enjoying both the beautiful surroundings and nearby attractions, while still feeling calm and private. The views were stunning, particularly at sunrise and sunset.
Dining was also a standout feature. The food was consistently delicious, with plenty of variety and high quality ingredients. Every meal felt like a treat, and the restaurant staff were attentive and welcoming.
Overall, Fuerterventure Mar delivers an exceptional experience. It’s clear that a lot of care goes into every detail, and it truly feels like a place where guests can relax, recharge, and enjoy a memorable stay. We would happily return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fantastic holiday experience.

I had the best experience as always in Barcelo Mar. Stunning hotel, food, services, gym and reception staff. The beds are like lying on a cloud.
It is so clean and well kept by the staff.
Especially thankful to Lionel in guest experience for his help, discretion professionalism, and overall attitude. His is a very valuable member of the team. I cannot thank him highly enough for all the support he offered in my time of need. So grateful I found this stunning hotel 3 years ago and for anyone considering a solo holiday, this is the place to be. Ten minutes from the airport, fabulous guests and a very safe place too.

I highly recommend this hotel for a relaxing vacation. The food is absolutely excellent, with a wide variety of delicious options that cater to different tastes. It’s also a fantastic place for families with children, offering plenty of amenities and activities that make the stay enjoyable for both kids and adults.
What truly makes this hotel stand out is the exceptional service. The staff is always friendly, attentive, and ready to help. A special mention goes to Sebastian, one of the waiters, who is incredibly kind, professional, and always goes the extra mile to ensure guests feel welcome and well taken care of.
Overall, it’s a wonderful place to stay, combining great food, family-friendly facilities, and outstanding hospitality.

The resort is largely split between the Castillo bungalows and the Mar hotel rooms as thebungalows often use the Mar facilities. We prefer the location of the Mar but the room layout of the bungalows.
The breakfast has a much larger choice than the Castillo although if you ask the hotel, it tries to say it's exactly the same. We find the staff in the Mar really friendly but the housekeeping at the Castillo is very good indeed.
We opted for half board and we enjoyed breakfast, a light snack for lunch and ate out for our entertainment and evening meals which we really enjoyed the best for our holiday.
On a lunchtime the hotel makes you buy water which is quite expensive purely to make money. It's a bad environment policy as all of the bottles they serve are glass. Other hotel instead of having water stations to reuse water bottles you can purchase and save on the environment impact of the glass bottles. The hotel is putting profit before the environment.
Overall we have had a good holiday.
