Fuerteventura's Welooveyou Aqua: Your Paradise Awaits!
Fuerteventura's Welooveyou Aqua: Your Paradise Awaits!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, 'cause we're about to dive headfirst into the shimmering, sun-kissed world of Welooveyou Aqua in Fuerteventura! And let me tell you, I’ve got more than just a brochure’s worth of opinions on this place. This isn't just a review; it’s a love letter (with a few grumpy side notes) to your next vacation. We're talking SEO, sure, but we're keeping it real, really real.
Before you even think about clicking "book," let's get down to brass tacks, shall we?
Accessibility: A Mixed Bag (and That's Okay!)
Right, let’s be honest, accessibility is a HUGE deal. The good news? They TRY. Wheelchair accessible is mentioned, which is a massive plus. But, and there's always a "but," I didn't find any specifics. Hopefully, there are ramp details, elevator situations, and accessible room details, all of which I'd need more details to feel completely confident suggesting it is definitely accessible for every visitor. (Need those details, Welooveyou Aqua!). Facilities for disabled guests are listed, which is promising the basics, but again, get the details! Elevator: Yes, a godsend! This is so important, I'm adding a quick rant: hotels, DO BETTER with accessibility. It's 2024!
Internet: My Love/Hate Relationship
Okay, listen. I need my internet. I live on the internet. And sometimes, a hotel's Wi-Fi is just… ugh.
- Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! Praise be! Okay, but is it actually good? That’s the question.
- Internet [LAN], Internet services: Hmmm, LAN? For serious? Who even uses LAN cables anymore? Maybe my dad. Still, good for the hardcore gamers, I guess?
- Wi-Fi in public areas: Essential. But again, reliability matters. I need to be able to stream the Real Housewives of Anywhere without buffering.
- Wi-Fi for special events: Good for conferences, I guess?
- No mention of mobile, so I'm guessing that's a no-go and it's just Wi-Fi.
Things to Do & Ways to Relax: They’re Trying! (Again, With Caveats!)
This is where things get interesting. Let’s break it down, because, honestly, my downtime is precious.

- Pool with view: If it's stunning, I'm sold.
- Fitness center, Gym/fitness: Bonus. Gotta work off those tapas. Hoping they have good equipment, not rusty relics.
- Spa, Spa/sauna, Steamroom: Sounds luxurious. But is it a legitimate spa, or just a room with a massage table and a guy selling you overpriced oils?

**My Big Take
Nairobi's Secret Sandalwood Paradise: Unforgettable Gardens Await!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your average travel brochure. This is my brain, unfiltered, and we're going to Welooveyou Aqua in Fuerteventura. Expect sand in places you didn't know sand could get and questionable decisions fueled by Tapas and sunshine. Let's GOOOOO!
Welooveyou Aqua: Operation Vacation, or "Please Don't Let Me Screw This Up"
Day 1: Arrival - The Great Disorientation
- 10:00 AM (ish): Landed in Fuerteventura. Smells like… well, mostly warm air and a faint whiff of jet fuel. Immediately, I'm sweating. Not exactly what I envisioned, but hey, adventure, right? Finding the transfer bus was an Olympic sport. Apparently, "look for the guy holding the tiny cardboard sign with your name" is a universal language, even when you're half-blind from the sun. Success!
- 11:30 AM (ish): Arrived at Welooveyou Aqua. It's… big. Like, really big. The lobby has more marble than my entire apartment. Check-in was a blur of attempts at Spanish (mostly ending in confused stares) and a frantic search for the Wi-Fi password (priorities!). My room is… spacious. A little too spacious, if I'm being honest. I feel like I'm in a Bond villain's lair. On second thought, I'd love that.
- 1:00 PM: Lunch! The buffet. Oh Lord, the buffet. My inner five-year-old emerged. Faced with a mountain of food. I piled a plate with everything, including some questionable "mystery meat." Ate almost everything, and now I am feeling very full and slightly guilty.
- 2:30 PM: Pool time! Found a lounger surprisingly easily. The sun is intense. I slathered on sunscreen. This is living the dream. Or, well, a dream.
- 4:00 PM: Nap. This is essential for good vacationing. Woke up with a crick in my neck and a weird tan line. Mission accomplished?
- 7:00 PM: Dinner at some vaguely Italian restaurant in the hotel. The pasta. The pasta was good. The wine was… not. But I was tired and hungry, so it still hit the spot.
- 8:30 PM: Evening show. This is where things get a little… weird. Some kind of dance performance. I have no idea what it was, but at least the dancers looked like they were enjoying themselves. I am trying to do the same, it is not easy when you are over thinking everything.
Day 2: Beach Day and the Sea of Regret (And maybe Some Fishy Delights)
- 9:00 AM: Attempted the breakfast buffet. Realized it was a mistake. Too many choices, too early in the morning. Ended up with a stale croissant and a lukewarm coffee. Oh well, there is always tomorrow.
- 10:00 AM: Beach! Found a spot, set up the beach umbrella (a battle in itself against the wind). The sand is so hot, I felt like I was walking on fire. Dipped my toes in the Atlantic. It's freezing! Immediately regretted wearing only a bikini. Also, the waves are surprisingly strong.
- 11:30 AM: The Wind. It’s absolutely brutal out here on the beach today. It’s like a sandblaster, but with tiny, irritating particles of… everything. Started thinking about that one time I got sand in my eye on the playground, and the agony of it all. Had to retreat.
- 1:00 PM: Lunch at a beachside shack. Ordered some fresh fish. It was literally the perfect fish, grilled to perfection, with lemon and herbs. But after the wind-induced beach trauma, I was too distracted to fully enjoy it. This is what I do – let something wonderful be ruined by my own neuroses!
- 2:30 PM: Back to the pool. This is where I belong.
- 5:00 PM: Tried to go to the gym. Couldn't find it. Gave up. Clearly, rest is the most important part of a vacation.
- 7:00 PM: Dinner. Found a tapas place. Ordered everything. Ate everything. Regret? Maybe a little. Delicious? Absolutely.
- 8:30 PM: More show time. This time, it was a karaoke session. I resisted the urge to sing, though I was strongly tempted after the wine. Maybe tomorrow.
Day 3: The Oasis Park Debacle and My Crisis of Identity
- 9:00 AM: Breakfast, again. Still not getting the hang of this.
- 10:00 AM: Oasis Park. This was meant to be the highlight! Animals! Camel rides! A guaranteed good time! Instead, it was… crowded. Really, really crowded. The camels smelled. The giraffes were majestic, but also, very far away and behind fences. I'm not sure if I was enjoying myself. Or if I could enjoy myself.
- 12:00 PM: Camel ride. I had to do it. The camel's name was Kevin. Kevin smelled, too. Being on a camel is a bumpy, swaying experience. I also can't help but think of how I look.
- 2:00 PM: Lunch at the Oasis Park restaurant. Mass-produced food. No joy.
- 3:00 PM: The real crisis. I walked through the Cactus Garden. It was amazing. I’m good. I'm great! I love cacti. I'm a cacti person… I might need a cactus tattoo. In this moment, I was certain I was born to love cacti.
- 5:00 PM: Pool time. Reflecting on my life decisions.
- 7:00 PM: Dinner. Started to feel sick, so I ended up eating a piece of toast.
- 8:30 PM: Early night. Bed.
Day 4: Exploring and The Search for Happiness
- 9:00 AM: Breakfast! Actually, I am starting to get the hang of this. I am not sure what is the secret for the perfect breakfast.
- 10:00 AM: Decided to rent a car and explore. The drive was a mix of scenic routes and near-death experiences (those roads!). I am a bad driver, but I am learning!
- 12:00 PM: Found a charming little town. Walked around. Bought some souvenirs. Felt vaguely happy.
- 2:00 PM: Late lunch at a local restaurant. Amazing tapas! I think I am a tapas person.
- 4:00 PM: Back at Welooveyou Aqua. Pool time. This is my default happiness zone.
- 7:00 PM: Packed. The hard part. I realized this is not a forever place.
- 8:30 PM: Last dinner in the hotel. This time, I ate at the 'fancy' restaurant. The food was good, but I really just wanted another tapas feast.
Day 5: Adios, Fuerteventura!
- Early AM: Wake up, pack the rest of the last-day-related stuff.
- Too early AM: Airport, delayed flight.
- Later AM: On the plane. Reflecting on the trip. Mostly happy. Mostly sunburnt. Mostly full. Mostly… me.
Final Thoughts:
Fuerteventura was… something. A whirlwind of sun, sand, and questionable life choices. Did I find inner peace? Nope. Did I eat more than I should have? Absolutely. Did I have a good time? Yeah, you know, I did. And I'll probably need another vacation to recover from this one. But hey, that's life, right? Messy, imperfect, and full of surprisingly delicious grilled fish. Viva Fuerteventura! And maybe, just maybe, next time I'll learn to drive on those crazy roads. Or go home.

Welooveyou Aqua: My Unfiltered Fuerteventura Fling (and FAQs!)
Okay, spill. Is Welooveyou Aqua *really* as good as those Instagram pics make it seem? (And the million dollar question: should I book?!)
The Good: Let's get the sunshine and rainbows out of the way, okay? The location? STUNNING. Literally steps from the beach, and OH MY GOODNESS the sunsets. I'm talking painter-of-the-gods type stuff. The staff? Mostly lovely. There was this one guy, I think his name was Javier... bless him, he totally got me extra olives at dinner. The main pool? HUGE, picture-perfect, and perfect for lazy floating. The food? Okay, it's not Michelin star, but the paella nights? Absolutely divine. I may have gone back for thirds (don't judge my vacation behavior!).
The "Meh": My room... let's just say it wasn't *exactly* what I envisioned. It was clean, don't get me wrong, but the view was less "ocean vista" and more "roof of the building next door." And the air conditioning? Let's just say it had a personality of its own. One minute arctic blast, the next a humid sauna. And the wifi? Prepare for a digital detox, my friends. (Honestly, maybe that's a good thing...)
Should you book? Look, if you want a perfect, flawless experience, maybe keep scrolling. But if you're looking for a beautiful, relaxing getaway, with a bit of charm and a whole LOT of sunshine? YES. Just temper your expectations a *teensy* bit. Think "rustic-chic" rather than "luxury-lavish." I'd go back in a heartbeat. Though next time, I'm definitely requesting a room with a view... and packing a portable fan, just in case.
What's the deal with the food? Are we talking buffet boredom or culinary bliss?
The Good Stuff: The paella, as I mentioned, was a revelation. Seriously, I could have happily lived off that for the whole week. The fresh fruit was plentiful and delicious. And the breakfast pastries? Okay, maybe I *did* eat three croissants every morning. Don't @ me.
The Room for Improvement: Honestly, some of the hot dishes at the buffet were a bit… well, they'd been sitting under heat lamps for a while. And the coffee? Let's just say it definitely wasn't Italian-worthy. I learned to navigate the buffet like a seasoned pro, quickly finding the hidden gems of fresh fruit, cheeses, and the (thankfully) always available bread. I also made liberal use of the small snack bar, which provided decent burgers and fries for those mid-afternoon hunger pangs.
Pro Tip: Don't be afraid to explore the nearby restaurants! There are some amazing tapas places and seafood restaurants just a short walk away. They're well worth the adventure! Also, stock up on snacks from the local supermarket. Trust me, you'll thank me later.
What's the vibe like? Is it party central or a chill-out zone?
The Day Scene: Poolside is where it's at during the day. Plenty of sunbeds (although you might want to get there early to bag the prime spots!), a lively atmosphere without being overwhelming, and easy access to the bar for cocktails and refreshments. The beach, of course, is a major draw. Miles of golden sand, perfect for long walks or simply collapsing with a book. There are usually some activities going on – water aerobics, some gentle games, etc. – but nothing too in-your-face.
The Evening Scene: The atmosphere chills down even further in the evening. There's usually live music or some kind of entertainment on a few nights a week. The bar is a popular spot for pre-dinner drinks. It's honestly perfect for couples, families, and solo travelers looking for a relaxing getaway.
Party Animals, Beware: If you're expecting wild nightlife, you might be disappointed. Fuerteventura as a whole is a pretty chill island. While the Welooveyou Aqua itself offers a social atmosphere, its not a place to go to party all night long. However, if you want to find them, the more vibrant bars and clubs are available. If you're looking for a place to dance till dawn, this might not be your spot However, there would be plenty of space within the larger island. If you're looking for a place to dance till dawn.
The Beach: Is it the stuff of dreams?
The Good: It's HUGE. You can walk for miles and miles, finding your own little slice of paradise. The sand is so fine, it feels like silk under your feet. The water is perfect for swimming. I spent hours just bobbing around in the waves, letting the sun and the waves wash all my worries away. During my stay, I watched a little guy building sandcastles all day, and it really warmed my heart!
Potential "Hmmms": The wind in Fuerteventura can be a *little* relentless at times. It makes it great for watersports (more on that later), but it can also make it a bit challenging to keep your beach towel in place or get a good tan. Invest in a good windbreak or a sturdy umbrella, and you'll be golden. Also, you might encounter some seaweed at times. It's a natural phenomenon, and it's generally kept up quite nicely.
What about activities? Do I just sit by the pool all day? (Which, let's be honest, *is* tempting...)
