This was the first holiday abroad for me with my daughter and I was so excited to experience it with her. Flight from Manchester went smoothly with a short transfer time to our hotel 15 min max. Check in was quick and simple and we were given all inclusive wristbands and lead to our chalet which was right by the pool on side A. The apartments themselves were quite basic with a living room/ kitchenette plus bedroom and bathroom. It was clean and functional but had it seen better days. There was a nice terrace outside where my daughter would do her nightly catwalk of her new outfits.

The pool was freezing it wasn't heated and I good few times I felt I needed a defibrillator poolside to start my heart again. My daughter lips were a constant shade of blue throughout the whole holiday. The pool was also really deep I had to stand on my tip toes to avoid drowning. Apart from the arctic temperature and ocean depths it was kept tidy and the pool was clean.

The food here was not for me it reminded me of my old school canteen minus the semolina, it didn't have the feel of a restaurant. The food was really samey throughout the stay and it started to feel like groundhog day which caused us to eat out quite a bit.

There was no adult entertainment of a day which was fine but they did have a kids club that my daughter loved and the staff were brilliant they done so much with the children pyjama parties and days out. The evening entertainment was ok and what you would expect a little like butlins but I didn't book the Ritz so I was fine with that.

Word of warning this hotel is directly over the flight path and I was woken up numerous times thinking I was in the middle of a major earthquake.

Caleta De Fuste itself is really small and doesn't have that much going on it was still developing when we went and I am sure in a few years it will be a little more populated. We hired a car and went into Corralego for a day which was much busier than Caleta De Fuste. In all the holiday was cheap so I wasn't expecting to be fed grapes poolside it served its purpose but I wouldn't return.
