The Hotel Riu Calypso is located in the vicinity of Morro Jable in Fuerteventura, Spain, and offers excellent views of the crystal clear water and golden sand. This complex enjoys a seafront location on Playa de Jandia beach and is the perfect setting for enjoying truly relaxing holidays.

Very nice room and balcony with a great view
When we arrived at the hotel we were given a very nice, modern hotel room. The balcony was very spacious and the view of the beach was perfect.
The quality of food was just OK. If you’ve been to a Riu 5 star, you’ll definitely be able to tell the difference.
There elevator was extremely slow and you could be waiting several minutes for one. So if you’re booking, don’t pick a high floor.
I’d say 90%+ of the customers are German and in some cases the staff could speak German and not English.
Overall, it was very a very pleasant stay and once the weather is good, there is very little to complain about.

Special place
Our stay at this hotel was exceptionally good From the moment we arrived to the time we left our stay was one of pleasure Every single member of staff we encountered were kind,considerate and extremely polite and helpful Our room was spotlessly clean (705) and serviced to a very high standard on a daily basis The view from our terrace was amazing Food was very good and of a high standard considering all the different nationalities that they were catering for. Such a wide and varied choice it was hard to decide what to eat Krystal restaurant was a great experience Pool are spotlessly clean and very well serviced from the bat Night entertainment was mostly very good Overall a most enjoyable holiday and one which we will be enjoying again in September

Best Hotel!
I recently had the pleasure of staying at Hotel Riu Calypso on Fuerteventura, and it was truly an exceptional experience. This hotel is absolutely wonderful, especially following its complete renovation, which has elevated the entire property to a new standard of modern elegance.
The location is unbeatable, offering stunning views and easy access to the beach. Every aspect of the stay was on the highest level:
Service: The staff is professional, attentive, and incredibly welcoming.
Food: The culinary variety and quality exceeded all expectations.
Rooms: Spacious, stylishly designed, and very comfortable.
Cleanliness: Impeccable throughout the entire resort.
I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a premium holiday experience in Morro Jable!

Excellent staff. nice refurb. Great location, lifts could be better.
Our second visit, the first being in 2024 pre modernisation, first the positives, the staff in the bars and restaurants were excellent, so efficient and friendly. Location couldn't be better. Reception good although some had a struggle to understand my English, I know I should have learned more Spanish I did try this year, they are, or seem to be fluent in German . The room was very good and the beds extremely comfortable with everything you might need. The pool area and outside areas again were spotless and well looked after. We hired a car ( recommended)and although we were told on arrival there were no spaces, I had to park on some rough ground about 1 km away .The next day I asked again, a different receptionist, and was told there were several available. The parking set up is good once they allow you to use it. The main negative is the lifts, previously mentioned on several reviews, we were on floor 8 and ended up walking down 8 flights of stairs on many occasions as there are only two very slow lifts. As our last visits to the Calypso and Riu Jandia palace, Robert and Juliet were the evening entertainment and made no attempt to include English guests as they only spoke German, as did DJ Herbie, the best by far were The two of us who used English as their first language but made sure they spoke in German as well, they were excellent. A female vocalist also did the same on our last night, again very good. We knew we were a minority when we booked as we have been before, the German guests were very friendly, just a shame not all the entertainment was.

Lovely hotel
It was a lovely hotel and all the staff were very friendly, however as they didn't speak much English and my Spanish is very poor, it was difficult to communicate with the staff.
