Guest Reviews
Location
The tranquil and peaceful surroundings are well-appreciated, providing a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of more tourist-heavy spots. The quiet setting is ideal for those looking to relax and unwind. The picturesque and strategic location allows for easy access to explore both the northern and southern parts of Fuerteventura by car.
However, the area around the complex, Parque Holandés, is described by some as remote, abandoned and lacking in amenities like restaurants and supermarkets. A car is deemed absolutely necessary for staying at this location, as walking to nearby facilities or attractions is not feasible. The local atmosphere appears somewhat deserted and not visually appealing with reports of dilapidated buildings nearby.
In summary, while Shambhala Fuerteventura's location is praised for its strategic proximity to major attractions and peaceful environment, it is essential for visitors to have a car to fully enjoy and navigate the area, due to its seclusion and limited nearby amenities.
Breakfast
The breakfast is served rather than buffet-style, which many guests appreciate for its personal touch and freshness, but this also results in slower service. Some guests reported waiting times of up to an hour and found the breakfast choices somewhat repetitive over a longer stay. Despite the high quality, there's a consensus that more variety could enhance the experience further.
Service at breakfast is described as friendly and polite, particularly commending specific staff members for their hospitality. However, guests also noted occasional disorganization and suggested that an additional staff member could improve efficiency.
Overall, while the breakfast quality and pleasant outdoor setting are well-regarded, enhancing menu diversity and speeding up service could address some of the common concerns.
Dinner
The gastronomic offerings extend beyond just burgers with guests raving about the overall tastiness and quality of dishes cooked on request. The kitchen's facilities also impress, equipped with all necessary utensils, even a juicer, for those looking to prepare their own meals.
Besides the pool bar, the proximity to the restaurant El Localito is appreciated for its amazing Italian food, just a short walk away. Some reviews mention a desire for more options or extended operating hours, as the pool bar has a limited selection and closes early in the evening.
