Just got back from a short break in Fuerteventura after making a last minute decision to find a little winter sun. After scanning through available accommodation for the week 8th - 15th November we decided to book this apartment in Gran Tarajal. Always a gamble when choosing somewhere to stay but how pleased we were with our choice. The apartment is large, well equipped and spotless. Everything needed for a great stay is to hand. The kitchen is of a great standard with quality appliances and we made great use of the hob, oven and fridge freezer cooking breakfast and dinner on most days. For me it is the small touches that make all the difference and show that the owners have gone the extra mile to make their property stand out... a complimentary bottle of wine, a box of chocolates, lovely cheese in the fridge, a new fresh dishcloth and scourer in the sink area. No need to pop out and buy the essentials at a local supermarket as soon as you arrive. (but rest assured it is so easy to stock up on food and drink at the two main supermarkets, EuroSpa and Hyperlink, both are literally 4 minutes walk away and are a joy to wander round). The location of the apartment couldn't be bettered, with a panoramic view across the bay / beach from the stunning balcony ; perfect for watching the world go by whilst enjoying a cold beer. The balcony enjoys the sun from early morning til late afternoon AND if you get too hot there is a fabulous remote controlled electric sun blind. In the utility area off the balcony we found a useful shopping trolley (so useful for trundling back from the supermarket with all our provisions) and folding beach chairs & sun parasols which we admit we took to the beach with us on several occasions). We had a hire car for the week and explored many of the towns north and south of Gran Tarajal and we quickly realised how glad we were with our choice of location. Gran Tarajal is a proper, authentic town with a great feel about it. Many other towns are purely there for tourists with no character or ambience and far less choice of quality bars, restaurants and shops.
Interestingly the prices in the two main supermarkets in Gran Tarajal are substantially lower for general holiday provisions like, beer, soft drinks, eggs, bread, cerals etc than in the tourist supermarkets in places like Costa Calma. We came up with wine at around €2 a bottle, cans of beer for 23 cents. In conclusion I would strongly recommend this property.
