Rating8.1Castillo has 14 dining and bar options across the shared complex, including access to Barceló Fuerteventura Mar's venues via shuttle. On the Castillo side, La Dolce Vita is the one reservation worth making on arrival day. The Mexican (Palo Santo) and Brazilian (Rodizio) themed dinners require reservations and are generally available once per week for longer-stay guests — book at reception on day one. The main buffet (Mafasca) is open to all for breakfast, lunch, and dinner but reviews consistently note repetition after a few days.

Spanish, International, Canarian
Main buffet covering all three meals, 7:30-10:30, 1-3, 7-10. Atlantic ocean views through floor-to-ceiling windows are the best feature. Show cooking stations with fresh fish and meat at lunch and dinner. After 4-5 nights, the rotation becomes predictable — use the shuttle to Mar's buffets for variety.
Signature dishes: Fresh meat and fish from show cooking, Spanish and Canarian recipes
Spanish, International, Canarian
Secondary buffet at the Mar property, accessible by shuttle. Slightly different rotation from Mafasca — useful for breaking routine on longer stays.
Signature dishes: Expertly prepared meats and fish from show cooking
Snacks, Pizzas, Sandwiches, Homemade Cakes, Artisanal Ice Creams
Beachfront casual stop, 10 AM - 6 PM. Pizzas, sandwiches, homemade cakes, and ice cream. The most consistently praised quick-bite option on the beach — grab ice cream here after the beach rather than hiking back to the main building.
Signature dishes: Pizzas, Sandwiches, Homemade cakes, Artisanal ice creams
Drinks, Snacks
Theatre bar, open to midnight. Your base for pre-show drinks and evening socialization. The main lobby bar for the Castillo side.
Snacks, Drinks
Poolside bar, 10 AM - 7 PM. The convenient option when you don't want to leave the pool area. Standard drink selection.
Signature dishes: Refreshing drinks and cocktails
Drinks, Beer
Sports bar with screens for matches, 10 AM - 11 PM. Draft beer and a wide drinks selection. The go-to for football nights.
Signature dishes: Beer
Drinks, Crafted Cocktails
Cocktail lounge with outdoor terrace and sea views. The most atmospheric bar on the property for evening drinks. Crafted cocktails are a step above the pool bars.
Signature dishes: Crafted cocktails
Light Bites, Drinks
Poolside bar near the main swimming pools. Snacks and drinks, outdoor seating. Standard service.
Snacks, Cold Beverages
Bar near the children's pool — convenient for families with young kids who want a drink without leaving the kids' pool area.
Desserts, Ice Cream, Cakes
Dessert bar, 10 AM - 6 PM. Desserts, ice cream, and cakes throughout the day. The soft-serve ice cream is popular with kids.
Signature dishes: Mouth-watering desserts, Ice cream, Cakes
Mediterranean, Italian
Italian à la carte, dinner only, 7-10 PM. This restaurant holds an award for best pizza in the Canary Islands — the wood-fired crust and ingredients quality are noticeably above the buffet. Order the pizza; the pasta is good but the pizza is the reason to be here. Reservations required. Smart casual.
Signature dishes: Award-winning pizza
Mexican
Mexican-themed dinner buffet, 7-9 PM. Once-a-week access for most all-inclusive guests — book at reception upon arrival. Food is a notch above the main buffet but not a replacement for a proper Mexican restaurant. Tacos and nachos are the reliable choices.
Signature dishes: Exquisite, spicy Mexican flavors
Brazilian
Brazilian churrasco-style dinner, 7-9 PM. The Brazilian-style grilled meats are the draw. Once-a-week for most guests. Feijoada and traditional sides are on offer alongside the meat service. Reservations required, limited availability.
Signature dishes: Authentic feijoada, Traditional vatapá, Brazilian-style grilled meats
International
Available throughout the day, extra charge. Not a standout option — the beachfront and poolside venues are more appealing alternatives.
