H10 Playa Esmeralda - Adults Only

Hôtel très bien situé. Vue magnifique. Restaurant au top. Tout était impeccable. Un des plus beaux hôtels du sud de Fuerteventura

The Hotel. The hotel is situated approximately 1hr 30 from the airport. Upon arrival at the hotel (20:30) check in was swift and I was given a glass of cava- which was nice. My allocated room was on the third floor- facing the side of the building with a partial sea view- (it’s what I booked) I was guided to my room by the receptionist- Roccino (Apologies if I’ve spelt this incorrectly). She was very helpful and polite-thank you. The Room. I had booked a double room - and it did not disappoint. There is plenty of storage - drawers and wardrobe space. There is a safe which I rented for the week- £2:70 per day. You get the key from reception - place at the lock on the safe and then tap in your four digit code. The key itself, can then be left inside the locked safe - without the need to carry with you. There is a kettle/ tea, coffee and a complimentary bottle of water. There is a fridge (empty ) but no mini bar. There is no plug point near to the long mirror - awkward to style your hair with any electrical appliance- I used the reflection of the flat screen tv on the wall. The bathroom was large with walk in shower with -body wash, shampoo, conditioner and body lotion. There are no tissues, slippers or robes. I noticed a couple of days into my stay that some guests had H10 beach towels. I enquired at reception where I could get one from- I was informed I should have been allocated one when I checked in. They are complimentary- but €3 if you want to exchange for a clean one during your stay. The Buffet Restaurant. Despite me arriving late in the evening, I was able to eat some lovely food- there was no shortage and it was fresh- replenished frequently. I found this throughout my stay. There was an excellent selection of meats and fish that were grilled for you as you wait. There was a lovely display of every salad item you cared to eat - and a good selection of hot sides too. The soups I ate were absolutely delicious- and piping hot too. Although I’m not a dessert fan- I did look what was on offer and it all looked delicious. At breakfast you can order your own omelette with a choice of vegetables/ ham. There is a juice/smoothie bar which are all blended from FRESH fruit- together with a platter of beautiful fresh fruits. There are tea/ coffee machines where you can get yourself. The servers will take orders for any wines beers etc. All throughout my stay there was always something available that I liked. The Pool Bar/ snack area. This is located pool side and serves the usual beverages and snacks. There is a small buffet - but you can scan the QR code and order freshly made food. There are always plenty of sun loungers available. Stromboli Restaurant. I was allocated a reservation as I was on an AI basis. The Caprese salad was tasteless and bland. The pizza was a little overcooked for my liking. Service was good though. There is a small hotel shop for essentials located near block one which essentially at the rear of

We would rate our experience as ‘Good’ but Trip Advisor’s scoring doesn’t work in this way! This is a typical H10 large all inclusive adult only hotel, visiting in January was out of season but it was still very busy. We stayed for two night while exploring island. Firstly a very warm welcome by the reception team, great rooms (with a balcony) plus a great choice of rooms before you book. Nice swimming pool (cold) and bar area and friendly team. Entertainment was varied and of excellent quality. Premium drinks at the bar on all inclusive package. Excellent choice of food (lots and lots to choose from so even the fussiest eater would be welcome here) where it’s let down is the pure number of people dining at the same time. Resturant gets very busy, plates, bowls and cups become an issue because the team can’t handle the pure amount of people . The team work really hard on the ground and in the Resturant but it does become an issue, we tried dining later but then you loose the variety of food. It’s a very hard balance with the number of people so we just took the chilled out approach. Some descriptions/translation of food signs wasn’t correct (raised this with the Resturant manager but he didn’t seem too bothered). Overall an enjoyable stay, we would return if in the area and a great stay for anyone who’s wants an adult only typical all inclusive experience.
