The clearest reason to choose Fuerteventura Princess over other Canary Islands resorts is the beach. Esquinzo Beach on the Jandía Peninsula is consistently rated among the best on the island — wide, sheltered from the worst Atlantic winds compared to the northern beaches, and gently sloping into swimmable water. The resort sits directly on it, not across a road from it. That direct beachfront access, combined with seven pools including heated year-round options, is the resort's strongest practical argument.
Fuerteventura Princess runs as two systems under one roof. Standard all-inclusive guests get access to the Food Market buffet, Siroco restaurant, main pools, and most activities. Guests who book the Esencia de Fuerteventura premium tier get exclusive access to a separate restaurant (Mirador), a private pool, a private beach section, an exclusive bar, and enhanced room amenities in larger 40-70 sq m accommodations. If you're comparing prices and wondering whether the standard rate or Esencia is worth it, the Mirador restaurant with its ocean-view terrace and themed à la carte dinners is the primary differentiator — Esencia guests have dinner options that standard guests simply don't.
The main documented weakness is what guests describe as the 'canteen effect' at the Food Market buffet during high occupancy periods — long lines, noise, and a rushed atmosphere. The buffet food is generally praised for quality, but the experience suffers when the resort is full. Evening entertainment receives more mixed reviews than the food; multiple guests describe the shows as repetitive across a two-week stay. The resort is also remote — Esquinzo Beach is 77-79 km from Fuerteventura Airport, a 60-75 minute drive that limits easy day trips unless you rent a car.
The resort has 432 rooms renovated in 2020, spread across blocks in tropical garden grounds. Seven pools include one large general pool (heated year-round), an adults-only heated pool in Club Sotavento with sea views, separate pools for the Esencia zone, and a children's pool with a pirate ship. The Wellness & Spa provides sauna, hammam, steam room, and jacuzzis as included facilities; massage treatments and beauty services are extra cost. The Match Point Sports Bar with 12 large screens is one of the better sports-watching setups at a Canary Islands resort.
