Is the Iberostar Selection Fuerteventura Palace Hotel worth it? Our review

In our opinion, staying at this hotel is an excellent option if you’re looking for comfort and a wide range of services. The ease of access to the beach from this establishment is well worth the effort, as are its sea views. Finally, we recommend the Star Prestige option, which offers real added value with its beautiful rooms, magnificent views and, above all, its reserved swimming pool! Given its many advantages, we’ve listed it among the best hotels in Morro Jable.

Decoration and atmosphere

This hotel is part of a complex with slightly different architectural styles. The Iberostar Selection Fuerteventura features a pyramid-shaped glass roof at its center. Inside, the decor is exotic, with ethnic motifs on the columns of the main hall, for example, but also on the theater doors and some of the furniture.

The furniture features natural materials (wicker, rattan, etc.) that immediately evoke the vacation spirit. The décor is more restrained in areas common to all establishments, such as the breakfast area.

In the Star Prestige relaxation area, with its open-access bar, the atmosphere was more “marine”, with a boat-shaped shelf, blue tones and wallpaper depicting underwater life. What do these decorations have in common? They created an atmosphere conducive to relaxation!

The room

Our room was spacious and decorated in soothing white and beige tones, with a marine theme. Our headboard featured corals and fish. The furniture, with its delicate lines, was very elegant and added a contemporary touch.

We appreciated the quality of the textures and products available to us. In addition to beach towels, we had an iron and ironing board, a safe, as well as a kettle, a coffee machine and a carafe to fill at the water points. What a pleasure to find on the desk a bottle of wine and various products such as dried fruit!

Our room was in the Star Prestige range. It had a large bay window opening onto a balcony with a table and 2 chairs, where you could contemplate the beautiful sea view. This view, with the beach and turquoise ocean, caught our attention as soon as we entered the room, and we were lulled to sleep by the sound of the waves!

The bathroom

Our bathroom was very pleasant and large enough. It featured a spacious walk-in shower with good pressure. It was clean and contemporary, with imitation marble walls.

We found a bathrobe and slippers at our disposal, as well as organic toiletries from “The Rerum Natura” brand.

The breakfast

Breakfast in this accommodation comes in the form of a varied, hearty buffet. It can be found in a modern room shared with the other hotels in the complex. A pleasant covered terrace is adjacent.

Different stands are dedicated to a variety of products: sweet with pastries, churros, doughnuts, cut fruit and jam, and savoury with charcuterie and cheese.

There are also homemade hot dishes, such as sausages and vegetables. There’s even a salad bar and a cereal bar! Prepare to be impressed by this huge buffet!
