THE OUTLET
The Barcelo Club el Castillo is, as its name suggests, a member of the Barcelo Group, and is one of three outlets owned by them in Calete de Fuste. The others are BarceloFuerteventura and PuertoCastillo, they are all next to each other effectively constituting a resort in their own right.
As it was just myself and Tasha travelling, in this instance I did a fair bit of research initially through the Barcelo site and was a mite concerned to discover that the complex consisted of 382 bungalows.
Evidently a ground floor complex from my point of view for two lone females was a security risk so was unhappy before I had even left. Further research through sites such as www.holidaytruths.com and similar established that the Barcelo Club had, in the last year ...
Advantages: Clean, Good entertainment for the kids, good pool Disadvantages: up the hillside
This was our third trip to Puerto Rico and the first time we had stayed on the hillside.
We stayed during the middle of October 2006
The Castillo de Sol Apartments are very clean.We stayed in a one bedroomed apartment. The bedroom was a good size with two good sized wardrobes and a dressing table with a nice large mirror. As always, it was a twin bedded room so we just slid the beds together.
Our daughter slept on the sofa bed in the lounge area (bedding was left for us).
There was a hand towel and a bath towel for each of us which were changed every other day. bedding was changed once during the week we stayed. The maids cleaned 5-6 days per week.
The rooms are basic but more than adequate for our needs (somewhere to get changed and to sleep at night!) We did have a TV in the room which took Euro coins and even the smaller 10 ...
Advantages: Great weather all year round. Gentle cooling breeze, lots to do. Disadvantages: You have to come home!
higher than 25, and to use one which had the main ingredient of aloe vera. Apparently higher factors have been known to contain alcohol and other ingredients which can react with the Canarian sunshine causing blistering, sunburn and prickly heat. Also using a good Aloe Vera after sun was advised, I followed this advice and was glad to say neither my children nor I burned during the holiday.
As you can see by the hotel name, the resort I stayed at was Caleta de Fuste (also named Castillo or Caleta) This is on the west side of the island and is only about a 10min transfer from the airport in Puerto del Rosario. For the purpose of this review I will refer to this resort as Caleta.
Caleta is a resort which is mainly made up of hotels, apartments and holiday homes and is definitely a tourist town. It has it's own manmade beach with quite nice ...
