Reviews

“Well worth the money!”

We booked the Escape Lounge on 13/1/26 before a short holiday in Fuerteventura. I have been several times before, and I was not disappointed this time! We arrived at breakfast time. There is a large selection of cooked breakfasts, pastries and small cakes, cereal, fresh fruit and soft and alcoholic drinks.
“Fantastic experience”

Special shoutout to Taylor from the minute we walked in until we left. Good banter, hospitable and a real credit to the service. Will not travel unless we’re in here again.

Mo and the team were wonderful and attentive. The food was hot and the drinks were flowing. It was a great start to our holiday.
