This 45-apartment development in Caleta de Fuste is an exclusive four-pearl wing of the larger Barcelo Castillo Beach Resort and sits right on the sea. It's located on a boardwalk that leads to the beach, with an attractive harbor area that includes shops and restaurants. Guests at the Royal Level have access to the facilities of the larger Barcelo complex, which include several swimming pools and restaurants. Apartments are modern, with kitchens, living rooms, and large balconies or terraces, though some double beds are two twins pushed together. The main buffet restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner on an all-inclusive or half-board basis, but there's no gym or spa on-site. Guests looking for a similar hotel might compare rates with the nearby sister hotel Barcelo Fuerteventura Thalasso Spa, which has its own spa.

Dwarfed by the massive resorts in the area, La Casita offers an authentic value experience that's true to its name (meaning "little house"). This 17-room boutique property is housed in one of the older buildings in the area, providing a charming, homey counterpoint to the big brands surrounding it. Features, however, are limited. While the hotel offers breakfast service and a small bar for light bites, there’s no full restaurant. And the pool is only suitable for a cooling dip. Rooms are modest, though contemporary, and while all have balconies and free Wi-Fi, they lack air-conditioning. Still, the tranquility and personality that La Casita offers gives it an advantage over the mega-resort alternatives. Those looking for a boutique property with a bigger pool could consider the nearby Labranda Tahona Garden.

With a breezy, modern look, the mid-range Labranda La Tahona Garden is a boutique-inspired take on an all-inclusive resort. That look is carried through the public spaces, which include freshwater pools, a vast sundeck, and a restaurant done up in crisp white decor. However, as a smaller-scale, 110-room resort, this property doesn't have features like a fitness center or kids' club. Another downside could be the rooms, which aren't quite as spiffy as others in the Labranda chain, suffering a bit from dated textiles and a lack of air-conditioning. Still, all are outfitted with balconies or terraces, and apartment units have kitchenettes. Travelers that don’t mind staying a bit farther north may prefer the resort’s sister property Labranda Corralejo Village, which has more stylish rooms following a 2016 revamp.

Groaning with antiques, carved wood furnishings, rich fabrics, and twinkling chandeliers, the 62-room Hotel Elba Palace Golf Course displays a version of five-pearl luxury that is decidedly traditional -- and adults only. The resort is centered on an 18-hole golf course and offers all the classes, equipment, and trappings to match. But features also include two restaurants, a posh cellar wine bar, a library, and two pools. Rooms in a mix of luxe materials, pile on the amenities, such as bathrobes and slippers, pillow menus, and free Wi-Fi. No doubt the resort’s Old World embellishments might strike some as stuffy, but travelers looking to stay in accommodations that evoke the glamor of Spanish estates will be content with this ritzy throwback. Travelers looking for a more modern version of a beachy getaway could consider the Barcelo Fuerteventura Thalasso Spa.

The mid-range, 272-room Suite Hotel Elba tries to offer something for everyone, and in large part it succeeds. Split between two buildings, the quieter San Jorge and the livelier Antigua, the Elba has enough room for guests to find their element. The list of extensive features -- including four pools, a spa, a kids’ club, and two playgrounds -- has broad appeal to a variety of guests, but especially families who come here in droves and often opt for all-inclusive packages. The only downside could be the rooms; though they’re pleasant and well equipped, they do feel rather basic compared to other Elba properties. That said, the sea views from some are truly spectacular. Travelers looking for a more stylish escape could consider the Barcelo Fuerteventura Thalasso Spa, which is also right on the beach.

This two-pearl holiday resort is popular with European couples looking for affordable apartments in the center of Caleta de Fuste. There are two vastly different types of apartment here. Standard Apartments are unfortunately quite dated and lack basics like air-conditioning, while Superior Apartments are more modern. Both options have kitchenettes, living areas, and balconies or terraces. The property has limited facilities, but there is a small outdoor pool and bar, plus a shopping arcade nearby. Within the arcade are a couple of restaurants that are included in the hotel's half-board dining packages. Travelers looking for a larger budget hotel with extras like a tennis court and playground for kids might compare rates with the Caleta Garden instead.

The three-pearl Hotel Elba Sara does the holiday staples well: an attractive pool area, large buffet restaurant, plenty for kids, and fun entertainment. Its 266 spotless rooms all have sea views, outdoor space, and amenities like air-conditioning and TVs -- but the traditional decor is dated. The beachfront setting and optional all-inclusive packages appeal to young families and more mature guests, lots of whom revisit year after year despite the nearby beach being rocky and lacking seating. There are also courtesy buses to two golf courses, plus lots of on-site dining options. For a large hotel near Caleta de Fuste, prices are excellent. However, travelers seeking a more modern and upscale experience would be wise to check out the Barcelo Castillo Beach Resort, which is also closer to town.

Hotel Geranios Suites & Spa is a three-and-a-half-pearl all-suite property with an excellent central location on the beach in Caleta de Fuste. This hotel is generically modern throughout, and its 233 spacious rooms have living-slash-dining areas, kitchens, and terraces or balconies. Some feature uninterrupted sea views. The gym is free to use and there's no charge for in-room safes, but it's worth noting inconveniences like unheated pools and fees for in-room Wi-Fi. There are fewer family facilities here compared to hotels nearby, and couples are drawn to the quieter vibe. All-inclusive rates are available, though food can be a bit underwhelming. As an alternative, the Barcelo Castillo Beach Resort has more charm and better rates, but rooms aren’t as well-kept.

The Barcelo Castillo Beach Resort is a busy three-and-a-half-pearl all-inclusive resort with a beachfront location in laid-back Caleta de Fuste. Modern facilities are housed in a traditional fishing village-style layout, which incorporates Caleta de Fuste’s 17th-Century castle turret and lighthouse for a touch of local charm. The 380 studios and bungalows all have kitchenettes, balconies, and free Wi-Fi. Of the extensive facilities, highlights include three pools and a sleek bar with panoramic views of the bay. Downsides? Guests raise occasional cleanliness issues and the expansion to the public manmade beach shows no sign of completion. A lot of families stay at this resort, but it's popular for couples too. For a more sophisticated experience, check out the adult-only Hotel Elba Palace Golf instead, although it’s farther from the beach.

The 286 mid-range apartments at Club Caleta Dorada are a simple option in the Canary Islands’ Caleta de Fuste, a budget-tourism outpost on Fuerteventura, the second largest island in the chain. Ranging from Studios to Two-Bedroom Apartments, these mostly clean, slightly outdated units come with kitchenettes and are ideal for families, small groups, and couples looking for a sunny, all-inclusive destination. The hotel has outdoor pools, as well as a game room and a soccer field, and the beach is within a 15-minute walk. However, nightly entertainment is not great, buffets are repetitive, and Wi-Fi comes with a fee. Guests seeking a more intimate escape should try La Casita de Fuerte, a charming guesthouse in the center of town that offers free Wi-Fi.
