| said: We arrived late evening check in was ok although we were divided into seperate parts of the hotel. The hotel is very big, you arrive in reception which is on the sixth floor. The rooms are in blocks and although its a hotel each floor is open so the weather (very very windy)gets you as soon as you open your door! There are three pools (two main and one childrens)each on a different level all are kept clean and for July there were plenty of beds to go around even for a party of 10.
Breakfast is in the main restaraunt you sit wherever you like, breakfast was ok but very repetitive. Lunch is either in the main restaraunt or the beach snackbar or the pool bar on level 2. Dinner sittings are allocated on arrival and you keep the same table throughout your stay, the food was never hot only ever luke warm and if like us you were sitting towards the rear of the restaraunt the food was cold by the time you got back to the table. Again the food was very repetative and the soup seemed to be recycled each night and given a new name.
The main bar is the only one open in the evening and gets very busy especially when the entertainment is over.
This hotel was about 90% German guests and the remaining 10% divided into Brits, Spanish and Italian. The Entertainment team put on shows most evenings and was all in German and a bit sombre and theatrical for holiday entertainment. The best entertainment was the a flamenco team they were fantastic and all guests were shouting for an encore and joining in with clapping and stamping to the music.
The beach is down some very hot and slippery stairs (104 to be exact)once your down you'll be in no rush to walk back up! The beach is lovely and clean and the sea goes out quite far before it gets deep so the kids are safe to play in it. When you get to the bottom of the stairs if you head to the left side you can see the chipmunks and if you take food they are tame enough to take it from your hands. This part of the island is very very windy and when the sand hits you its like being rubbed down with sand paper my seven year old was crying because it stung when it hit you.
This was my seventh trip to Fuerteventura and i've stayed all over the island and although it is known for being a windy island this is by far the most windy place! When i booked the hotel it was booked as Costa Calma but it is much closer to Jandia. It took a twenty five minute bus ride to reach Costa Calma and cost 15 Euros in a taxi. This was the first time using the bus service on the island and it was on time, clean buses and air conditioned a much more pleasant experience than at home.
I don't think that the hotel deserves the 4/5 star rating that it has there was nothing to make it any better than 3 star hotels that i have stayed in on the island. There is nothing outside the hotel unless you taxi or bus to Jandia or Costa Calma so if you fancy a night away from the hotel and are in a big group as we were it becomes an expensive night out just in fares.
I would not return to this hotel mainly because of its location and the quality of the food.

| said: We stayed at the Sunrise Pariaso Playa for 2 weeks in August 06 (2 adults and 2 children). We arrived just after midnight and were struck by how clean everywhere was. The rooms are spacious, and all have a sea view. Even with entertainment every night you cannot hear it from the rooms.
The entertainment team are multinational, and can speak a wide variety of languages they have activities for young and old during the day. At night they put on a 1 hour show, then followed by a disco.
The self-serve buffet restaurant has an excellent choice of food, putting on themed nights with international cuisine. The waiters and waitress’s are very efficient clearing away and at the evening meal they serve drinks. If you are on a diet, forget it for your holiday, you will be too tempted.
The hotel has is it’s own dive centre, they provide a short free taster in the pool, then if you like it you can take the Padi coarse with the resident instructor.
This is a hotel where the British are not in the majority, but we did not find this a problem. We made a lot of new friends, and hopefully our children will be keeping in touch with theirs.
Disabled people would easily get around the hotel, but the beach can only be reached by steep steps, or going into town in Mouro Jarbo.
The Pariaso Playa is situated between Mouro Jarbo and Costa Calma well away from the hustle and bustle. Furetaventura does not have a lot of places of interest so although a car may be useful, not essential. There is an hourly bus service past the hotel and taxis are very cheap.
