You gets what you pays for!
Good value for money but some features could be improved without costing the hotel much more. If the hotel owners actually read these reviews they could drive up their bookings by doing just two things: 1. Replace all old extra creaky beds and sofas with decent ones. 2. Get some larger room safes that can hold a laptop - as they rent them out to you, they will make their money back regardless. Apart from these things the chalets are clean, modern and well equipped. Things must have improved since some of the other reviews, because the TV seemed to get most of the channels (Spanish, Italian and German, that is) and the kitchen had a proper oven as well as a microwave and fridge. If you happen to stay there in January, it gets cold at night, so the single blanket provided is not much use. But on being asked, the staff produced delivered more within half an hour, so the lesson here is that if you don't ask, you won't get.

Cheap and clean
Only stayed for one night, as our villa was booked out the last day of our trip and I had already sorted flights out,Not the Hilton but at about £20 a night ,was better than expected Would go there again as the apartment we got was very clean and looked out over the pool area which was nice

lovely and quiet.
lovely and quiet ,just what we wanted out of a holiday. We.were very pleased to arrive to find we had full cooking facilities when we only expected 2 hobs,so a real bonus.Only downside was that its a long walk with suitcases from the bus stn,and also back and forth into caleta de fuste especially as it is uphill back! lovely restaurants, pizzeria within the complexes and very reasonable to more expensive according to your budget and taste Had to ask for the beds to be changed after being there a week but think it was an oversight as maids and service very efficient and clean normally.Would thoroughly recommend but maybe the beds need an upgrade, uncomfortable and hard.but for value for money brilliant

Great value, fully equipped bungalows
Overall it was a great value for the money. I would definitely recommend it. I loved that it was a fully equipped apartment - full kitchen (even with an oven, electric kettle, electric mixer and blender), drying rack, ironing board and iron, TV and radio. Front desk staff were very helpful as well. Just a few minor drawbacks: no WiFi in the room; you have to go to the lobby and it was a very weak signal that kept dropping. However, the lobby has long opening hours (8am-midnight daily), so that was convenient. Also, the floor was quite dirty in the apartment so I had to always wear shoes so all the dust, crumbs and dirt didn't stick to me. The towels were also quite old and ratty and one had a stain on it. Signage to the hotel could've been better. I wasn't sure if I had found the main office since there was no sign on the building and there were no signs on the street directing people as they climb the hill. Lastly, the walls are a bit thin, so I could hear my neighbours quite clearly in the evening. But in general I had a pleasant stay.

Return ...
Second time in less than a year to Fuerteventura and chosen this place again. Not much changes since my last review; I stayed in a 'Basic' bungalow instead of an 'upgraded' given last time, to my surprise, this one was bigger than the other one and I did not notice much different really, so, Why to bother to pay more? Stayed in the 'Moon' zone of the complex, near a clean and well maintained pool and in a very quite area, the bed was still very uncomfortable the first night, but I guess the body gets used to it because after day 2 it feels ok, few issues about cleaning on arrival as the floor and the sofa bed were not that clean, Wi-Fi is still only available close to the reception area. Considering that it is still one of the cheapest complexes of Caleta de Fuste, it is in my view a very good value for self catering, it is a bit away (15min walk) to the area of most of the bars, restaurants and the beach, but if walking is not an issue and should be ok if you are not that fussy and picky.

clean and tidy
If you like to hang at the pool with an all inclusive deal this is a perfect place to do it on a budget. If however you are looking for a cultural, traditional experience,think again. This is a large complex with a Supermarket and a collection of British style bars at its centre. The beach is around a 15 minute walk down a hill past a collection of bars and restaurants and through town, this does not seem so far going down but is a bit of a killer on the way back up!

An idyllic location in a popular resort.
The apartment was very well equipped, clean and comfortable; the situation overlooking the pool with the sea in the distance made sitting on the balcony a very pleasant experience and a good place to unwind.. The situation to the mini market was good.

Cheap resort but a really nice room, all you need.... I would say the only reason it is so cheap is due to it being 15 min walk from the beach. I would consider going again maybe in the future.

Staff were crisp but not friendly or particularly
The apartment was good of itself but there were ants all over the kitchen.In fairness this was dealt with quickly when reported but there were no apologies for the loss of infected food and annoyance. The big problem was the walk up the hill from town.It was affair pull. However I must say the hotel does give good value for money

Suited me fine
I read a couple of reviews that mentioned people coming into the appt at night which made me wary but I thought I'd risk it anyway and book it I locked up each night and lay awake waiting for people trying the windows or door handles but was pleased to say I never heard anything other than the wind. Maybe because I came in Dec but the place seemed a bit deserted tbh! Other than that I thought it was great, arrived at my room but was promptly moved to another which was more modern and closer to the pool (win win) Location was fine (walking/staggering distance from the shops/bars), public transport poor (I was told that I couldnt really get anywhere without a car) Loads of cutlery and pans supplied

Good value
Well, definitely you get what you pay with this hotel; comfortable self-contained little bungalow, well equipped kitchen, small old fashion TV with only one English channel showing very old series (Wonder woman :-O ) haha, a bit uncomfortable mattress!, we stayed for 7 nights, they came twice in that week to clean a bit and change towels and to make the bed only as the did not change the linen for our disappointment; the complex has a very nice clean pool area if you decide to enjoy the sun and you are brave enough to go for a swim as the water was too cold for us to go in :( The location is a bit far from the beach if you decide to walk down, but, you can take the little train which runs every 20 min I think and it takes you all the way down. El Castillo/Caleta is situated under the flight path of the airport nearby, therefore, expect to be waken up around 07:30 every day if the are using the runway for landing in that direction, fortunately, the Fuerteventura 'El Matorral' Airport is not a very busy one within the Canaries, making tolerable that' waking up call' every days ;-) I would recommend El Castillo Beach if you are going to explore the island and enjoy the beach, nothing else in my opinion.

A POOR WEEK
When we arrived, we had no hot water. When hot water tap was on we had a leak into the bathroom. Two single beds were bone hard. We had booked Half Board but the meals were shocking. After 2 nights we gave up, I have never been to a hotel before where you have NO choice at all.

Holiday Bliss
The bungalows at Castillo Beach are perfect for your holiday needs, quite basic, but all the facilities to do all your own catering if you wanted to - although, apart from breakfast we ate out in the evenings. The resort is made up of various areas all consisting of several bungalows and swimming pools. We stayed at Castillo Beach Vistas and there were three pools, one for toddlers, one slightly deeper and one deeper still but only 1.8 mtrs at the deepest point. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this to everyone and would go there again.

Very Helpful-Our flight was delayed and they were very Accommodating.
A great base, basic accommodation, very clean, very helpful staff. Our flight was delayed and the reception was closed when we arrived, we phoned the contact number and an English speaking receptionist/duty manager came, opened up and allocated us our room. We could not fault the hotel as a central base for a quiet short break, in a lovely resort. Thank you to all the staff at Castillo Beach

ottima sistemazione per visitare fuerte
Scelto il castillo beach poichè situato a Caleta de Fuste, località situata a metà dell'isola, vicino all'aeroporto e costruita a misura di turista. Bungalow, composto da cucina/salottino, camera da letto e bagno con vasca/doccia e piccolo dehor con tavoli e sedie, all'interno del quale c'è tutto l'occorrente per "vivere": asciugacapelli, tostapane, forno e fornelli, microonde, caffettiera americana, tv con lettore cd, piatte pentole e utensili da cucina, lenzuola, coperte, asciugamani...insomma tutto ciò che serve. Davanti al bungalow la piscina e a 2 passi la reception nella quale è disponibile la connessione gratuita wi-fi. Pulizia ottimale e personale sempre sorridente e disponibile. A piedi facilmente raggiungibili ristoranti, pub e supermarket.

Confortevole in una zona tranquilla.
È il secondo anno che mi reco al castillo,nel 2013 al "lake" e fino a qualche giorno fa al "moon",sono 2 complessi gemelli uno affianco all'altro, trovo il residence confortevoli e in una posizione ottima,l unica cosa che vorrei (ma non è di vitale importanza) è la copertura con il wifi del complesso. Il personale è gentile e le pulizie ogni 2 giorni,la piscina adeguata,ma consiglio vivamente di girare le splendide spiagge di Fuerteventura.
