Barceló Corralejo Sands has a genuinely good location in central Corralejo, within walking distance of restaurants and bars, plus a spa with an indoor pool and Turkish baths. Its all-inclusive is narrower than you might expect: the only à la carte restaurant is excluded from the package and charged separately, and Barceló publishes no premium tier.
Guests score it 8.7 out of 10 — the average across the 11 hotels we list on Fuerteventura is 8.7.

- Families get an outdoor pool with a separate children's pool, and a mini club keeps younger guests busy.

Rooms & which one to pick
Our tip: Couples should book the Double Room, which covers the basics without paying for space you won't use. Families or groups needing extra room are better off with the Suite, Deluxe Double Room or Suite with Pool View, as each sleeps 4 thanks to the sofa bed; if you fancy a soak, the Deluxe Double Room with Spa Bath offers the same capacity plus a spa bath.
