We are a family of 4 with 6 years old twins. Just returned back from GF Fanabe and we really had a good time.
The hotel is well located to many shops , malls, beach. The check in and out super fast. All of the staff work very hard and try their best but the really makes this hotel work is the entertainment team. They are all so lovely and friendly our favorite Alexandra was but really a big thank u for all of u to make my kids so special this week. They loved every moment.
The disappointing unfortunately is the food option , and not much choice for lunch.
Sometimes the same sausages from morning for lunch too.
The pools were cold only thr kids pool was warmer so we stayed there lots of sunbeds no rush to get them.
The coctails were nice and served us fast from bar from outdide a little wait we had.
The shows were nice too . So all total this a nice hotel onlh need to improve with food .

Check in lady was brutal.
I booked a room through hotels, then my mom decided to join us so I booked another direct with hotel.
I called the hotel ahead to ensure our two rooms were close together, the booking lady put it right on our booking. upon arrival we were far apart. I kindly requested a change and the front desk lady was insanely rude. I tried to kindly show her the email confirmation with rooms together, she didn’t want to see it and told me to take it up with management in the morning & kept insisting there was nothing on file about rooms together. I’ve never had such a non caring and rude customer service.
However, the Rest of the staff there was nice!!
Room was not what we booked. Don’t believe online pics.
Beds for kids were uncomfortable. Kids ended up sleeping with us.
Took 3 days to get our two twin beds made into one bed.
Bathtub with a shower head but no proper shower so you have to hold the shower head with one hand and shower with the other.
Jacuzzi tub was broken as was the sliding door to balcony.
Eggs tasted funny & resulted in food poisoning.
It’s a nice place, pools are great!
Overall, I would not choose this property again.

Really enjoyed the roof top to get some sun. Wonderful views around the property. Also enjoyed the Thursday local vendor market close by. Some noise issues from a child on the first night, but no noise issues on the rest of the stay.

Had a quick week away over Easter half term and we had a fantastic time. We've stayed at the GF Isabel and the GF Victoria previously and although the Victoria is 5 Star, proper 5 star, (and is also brilliant) we all preferred the Fañabe. Staff were attentive, efficient, happy and couldn't do enough to make your holiday as best as possible. The animation team were great for the kids and got everyone involved. Food was really varied and lots of it and of a very high standard. Lots cooked to order at breakfast and dinner (we were half board). You could also swap dinner for lunch, which we did, so we could go out in the eve. Sunbeds were often an issue as the hotel was at max capacity and people reserved them, (you need to be up early) but they were policed by staff, so when towels were removed, we did on one occasion take them. Saying that, theres a massive rooftop area for adults only, it has 2 pools and as our child was happy playing with his new found friends we did on one occasion take ourselves up the top whilst he played safely around the hotel. We upgraded our room to a Junior Suite and I think was worth the extra as was very spacious and had a massive wrap around balcony overlooking the sea. One downside is the noise of the aircon, the only way to turn this off is via the main electric switch operated by the keycard by the door. So at night we switch the whole lot off, the temperature was fine and the room was quiet, but unsure how it would be over the summer?
