Robinson Club Esquinzo Playa

This was the second time we’ve been to a Robinson resort and this didn’t disappoint.

The setting was fantastic as were the facilities. The site is on a hill above a very nice sandy beach (probably the best that I’ve seen in the canaries).

There were some mixed reviews on rooms but we found them to be very clean and pretty modern - Probably not as good as some 5* resorts but far better than we expected.

The tennis facilities were excellent with 5 indoor and 6 outdoor courts. The fitness classes were also fantastic and very varied (from yoga to HIIT to functional) with some great and motivating instructors particularly Dinah who spoke both in German and English.

German is obviously the main language spoken but given we don’t speak it, most staff were very competent in English. The shows (particularly Wonka) were excellent and although in German it didn’t stop us enjoying them.

Food was of a very high and varied standard with many healthy options. The grilled meat and fish was particularly tasty. Cocktails were also freshly made and part of the all-inclusive menu. Many tables were setup for sharing but we generally prefer to eat as a family and there was normally space for this if we ate slightly off peak times.

We had a great time and (particularly if you are a sporty person/family), I highly recommend

I've had an amazing stay in Robinson Esquinzo Playa. One of the best hotels I've ever visited! ❤

The hotel is placed quite high and it offers you breathtaking ocean views. Right at the hotel exit there is a charming path that leads you to the beach. The beach is gorgeous, it's very wide and not so crowded. It takes maybe 10min to go down there, the way is pleasant and again, views are stunning. What is more, likely you will see canarian squirrels on the way. Facilities of the hotel are great: it has 2 swimming pools (one of them is heated), many sunbeds in different places, beautiful private daybeds that you can book, billard table, there is also fitness center, spa and tenis courts. Rooms are clean. All over the hotel there are many big palm trees and other plants, which makes the hotel look even better.

The variety and quality of the food is surprisingly good! The restaurant is pretty big. There is lots of things to choose, even the most picky guests should be satisfied. For breakfast there are freshly squized juices and shakes which I loved. I enjoyed most of the food but especially amazingly cooked meat and variety of fruit and deserts. Even in a snackbar the food is delicious. The bar offers extraordinary options of beverages, including non-alcoholic ones.

This hotel is fantastic both for families with children and for adults alone. Kids will not be bored, there is a pool with water slides, kids club run by good entertainers, even gymnastics and swimming classes for kids. At the same time, there is not loud in the hotel. You can always find places to relax where is completely quiet and calm.

I was there during Christmas time and the New Year. The hotel prepared special decorations, food and drinks, firework show and even a music band live!

Another thing that is worth mentioning is hotel staff. People working there are lovely, very well-organised, kind and hardworking. Starting from reception and restaurant workers, ending with housekeeping and entertainment team. There is an amphitheatre where there is a show twice a week. People taking part in the performance are often the same ones who are doing different jobs during the day. They're still finding time and energy to do rehearsals and practice choreographies, which is absolutely impressive. I've watched these dance shows with pleasure!

Also the hotel is located in the southern part of Fuerteventura, where all of the most beautiful places of the island are.

I totally recommend this place, I could come back here one day and hopefully I will😁

The rooms have been due for refurbishment for a long time. But you know that when you book this place. You spend most of your time outside, so the rooms are not that important. Still they should have been refurbished 10 years ago and they are decaying more and more. Not even mentioning the ants crawling around everywhere…

We have been here 4 times in the last 6 years. And what always made it for us was the food, the kids entertainment and the sport activities which always have been top class. Unfortunately, with the new management this has all gone bad:

• Food: what used to be sashimi as the dinner special is now pita bread with beetroot from the can. They are just saving everywhere be it food, drinks. It is all just cheap now
• Kids entertainment: our youngest son, who is 4 years old, was left alone for 1.5 hours in the „Roby Club“ because personnel was unexperienced and did not communicate
• Sports: the cycling bikes are 20+ years old. Spinning classes become very difficult despite good instructors because the hardware is beyond repair

For us, despite having been here 4 times, we will never go again. Defintetly not worth the money. There is much more bang for your buck in other hotels in the canaries.
