“Paradisus By Melia Fuerteventura benefits greatly from its beachfront location near Sotavento Beach; I think it's a prime spot for windsurfing, not to mention the views from the panoramic rooms are truly impressive. The resort's lagoon-style pool and all-inclusive options add to its appeal, though some areas show their age. In my opinion, this hotel offers a relaxing stay with a focus on outdoor activities.”
