Escape to Paradise: Sunny Castillo Apartment Awaits in Fuerteventura!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're about to dive headfirst into a review of "Escape to Paradise: Sunny Castillo Apartment Awaits in Fuerteventura!" And let me tell you, after spending a week there, it's not just sunshine and rainbows. It's more like… well, you'll see.
First Impressions (and the Whole Accessibility/Safety Thing)
So, yeah, accessibility. Straight up, this is crucial for me. I need to know I can move around without feeling like I'm navigating a minefield. And, well, let's be honest, I was a little anxious pulling up. The good news is, they seem to have actually thought about this. Wheelchair accessible: Yep, checked that box. The entrance wasn't a death trap, and the elevators actually worked (a huge win, believe me). They even had facilities for disabled guests, which wasn't just a sticker on the door, it was actually thoughtful.
And the sanitizing? OMG. I'm talking Anti-viral cleaning products, daily disinfection in common areas, professional-grade sanitizing services. I even saw them sterilizing equipment (made me feel like I was in a futuristic hospital, but hey, clean is clean!). They had hand sanitizer everywhere, and they're really taking physical distancing of at least 1 meter seriously. They were also using cashless payment service, a good thing. Bonus points for staff trained in safety protocol. I felt relatively safe!
Accessibility - The Real Deal:
- Wheelchair accessible: ✅ Actually usable, not just a legal requirement.
- Elevator: ✅ Thank the gods, it worked!
- Facilities for disabled guests: ✅ Thoughtful and practical.
Safety - They're Trying:
- Anti-viral cleaning products: ✅ Definitely appreciated.
- Daily disinfection: ✅ You could smell the cleanliness (in a good way).
- Hand sanitizer everywhere: ✅ Like, everywhere.
- Staff training: ✅ Mostly. Some looked a bit bored.
- Cashless payment: ✅ Good.
- Physical distancing: ✅ More or less.
The "Rooms" - My Little Slice of Fuerteventura
Okay, the apartment itself. It's called "Paradise" in the name, right? Well, it ain't quite paradise, but it's close. My room, thank god, was a non-smoking one (massive plus). It had air conditioning – essential in Fuerteventura if you don't want to melt. You've got your basics: air conditioning, alarm clock, bathrobes, coffee/tea maker, complimentary tea, daily housekeeping, desk, extra long bed, free bottled water, hair dryer, in-room safe box, Internet access – wireless, iron, mini bar, mirror, private bathroom, refrigerator, satellite/cable channels, seating area, separate shower/bathtub, shower, slippers, smoke detector, sofa, soundproofing, telephone, toiletries, towels, wake-up service, Wi-Fi [free], window that opens. But here's the thing: it wasn’t just the basics. They actually had linens that seemed fresh. There’s a reading light, which I always need. And the blackout curtains were a lifesaver after those late-night Happy Hour shenanigans. The pillows? Fluffy enough for a good night’s sleep, and the aircon actually worked.
- Air Conditioning: A must!
- Linens: Surprisingly clean and comfortable.
- Blackout Curtains: Chef's kiss for blocking out the sun.
- Free Wi-Fi: 🙌 Seriously, it works.
The "Things to Do" and "Ways to Relax" - Or, How I Got My Inner Zen (Maybe)
Alright, so the hotel's got a Fitness center – I tried to use it once. Let's just say my attempt at a workout ended with me face-planting on a treadmill. I’m not built for those things. But! The Pool with a view was absolutely stunning. I could hang out there all day. Forget the treadmill, I’d happily settle for that! They’ve also got a Spa with a sauna and steamroom, and the massage was heaven. It was worth it, and definitely a way to relax. So there's a foot bath and body scrub to bring out those dead skin cells and leave you feeling fresher!
Things to Do & Ways to Relax:
- Swimming pool: ✅ Spectacular.
- Fitness centre: 🚫 I failed miserably. Give it a try if you have the energy!
- Massage: ✅ Yes, yes, yes!
- Sauna: ✅ Sweaty bliss.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking - Where the Real Fun Begins (and Sometimes Ends)
Right, let's talk food. There's a restaurant, a bar, a coffee shop, and a snack bar. The Breakfast [buffet] was decent, if you get there early to get the good stuff. They have international cuisine in the restaurant, so there were a few things I liked. The best thing was the Happy Hour at the bar. Amazing drinks!
- Restaurants: Varied enough that you could find something you liked.
- Bar: The life of the party. Happy Hour is a MUST.
- Snack Bar: Perfect for a mid-afternoon bite.
- Breakfast [buffet]: Can't complain for the price, but show up early.
Services and Conveniences - The Little Things That Matter
They have a concierge (helpful), daily housekeeping (thank god!), and laundry service (essential for a messy traveler like myself). The airport transfer was a godsend. And yes, there’s Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! which is critical. Then, there’s a convenience store, because let’s be real, you'll forget something.
Services and Conveniences:
- Concierge: Very helpful in booking restaurants and taxis.
- Daily housekeeping: ✅ Clean sheets and a tidied-up room? Yes, please!
- Airport transfer: Made arrival and departure easy.
- Free Wi-Fi: 🙌 Always important!

Doukissa Paros: Your Dream Greek Island Escape Awaits!
Alright, buckle up, buttercups! This isn't your perfectly curated travel blog. This is me, battling jet lag, questionable WiFi, and a serious craving for tapas, while trying to wrangle a trip in Sunny Castillo Apartment, Fuerteventura, Spain. Let's see if I emerge sane.
Fuerteventura: An Unorganized Odyssey (aka, My Attempt at Organized Chaos)
Day 1: Arrival & Mild Panic
Morning (or, What Feels Like Morning After a Red-Eye): Landed at Fuerteventura Airport. The air? Divine. The sun? Blinding. The rental car? A tiny, slightly dented tin can named "Pepe." (I'm already fond of him, probably because he's my only friend right now). The drive to Sunny Castillo Apartment? Less divine, more "are we there yet?" And "is this the right road?" And "Oh God, did I remember to put the handbrake on?"
Finding the apartment was… an adventure. Let's just say my navigational skills peaked in the age of Google Maps, and even that didn't save me from a near head-on collision with a rather grumpy-looking donkey. (Sorry, donkey! My bad.)
Afternoon: Settling In & Existential Dread: Okay, finally in the apartment! Sunny Castillo is… well, it's sunny. And it has a balcony, which is a win. The "fully equipped kitchen" is more "minimally equipped kitchen," but hey, there's a fridge. And a coffee machine. Coffee is essential to life. After checking in and leaving my luggage, I needed coffee and food, went to the Spar market. Came back, unpacked all my grocery, then I looked at my empty notebook. Time to make some plan, but my mind was blank.
Evening: Sunset & Soul-Searching (or, Netflix and Chill Alone) The first restaurant that I went to was full, the second was closed. Ended up getting some supermarket pizza and watched the sunset from the balcony while. The sun was a glorious orange ball of fire, sinking into the ocean. Made me almost cry from the sheer beauty of it all. Or maybe it was the jet lag. Or the pizza. Who knows. It was a good day, I guess.
Day 2: Beach Bums and Bathtime
Morning: Beach, Please! & Sand in Places You Didn't Know Existed Off to El Cotillo beach. That's where the postcard pictures were taken. I swear half the time I wasn't even looking at the water but taking care of myself in the sea. I had to deal with the fear of the waves, the water inside my eyes, and the sand on my feet. I probably looked ridiculous. The sun was unrelenting, the water was so clear. So blissful in the moment, I actually forgot to eat and drink.
Afternoon: Sunburns and Sunblock Failures: I went back to the apartment. The shower was so nice I spent half an hour. I had to apply some cream on myself, I wanted to sleep all day but the sun told me that I had more things to do.
Evening: Food coma and the search of the legendary Burger I tried to sleep, I failed. I wanted to eat, but I wanted to eat the best burger I had ever eaten. I searched for it in the internet, I tried to follow the directions and then went to the only place I knew. The restaurant was closed, I was angry. I got a burger from a "less special" store and I was still happy.
Day 3: Wind, Waves, and a Near-Disaster
Morning: Surf's Up (and So Is My Anxiety) I decided to try surfing lessons this morning, a really bad idea. The moment I stepped on the board, I felt like a particularly uncoordinated seal. I fell. A lot. The ocean decided to give me a wash-cycle like no other. I swallowed seawater, got sand in places I didn't know sand could go, and spent more time underwater than above. I survived, somehow.
Afternoon: Back to the beach: I thought I could do it alone, I couldn't. But I managed to do some good pictures.
Evening: Pasta and Regret: Okay, I was exhausted. Physically, mentally, spiritually. I made some pasta. It was bland. I watched some mindless TV. I went to bed too early. No adventures tonight.
Day 4: Volcanoes and Vomit Combos
Morning: Volcano Hike, Briefly: I drove to the centre of the island. I tried to find some places to hike. I drove into a volcano. I decided to go and hike up.
The views were incredible. I was already tired, but I decided to do it anyway. I was almost there, I had a strange feeling. Suddenly, I couldn't go any further.. I rushed to the car, I got sick. I had to stop because I was vomiting. The hike was over before it even began.
Afternoon: Beach for healing Went to the beach. I stayed there for a long. I tried to relax and enjoy.
Evening: Tapas Time (Finally!) I made it to a tapas bar! Finally something good. It was so delicious that I forgot about the vomit volcano. The jamon, the gambas al ajillo, the patatas bravas… oh, the patatas bravas! I stuffed myself like a Christmas turkey.
Day 5: Saying Goodbye & a Promise to Return (ish)
Morning: Farewell, Fuerteventura! Packed my bags (slightly less chaotic than unpacking, surprisingly). Pepe the car was still there, bless his little dented heart.
Drove back to the airport, said goodbye to the apartment, to the beaches, volcanoes.
I still can't decide if I liked Fuerteventura. There were good times, and bad times. I'll probably come back. I'm not sure, I'm still digesting the tapas.
Final Thoughts:
This trip was messy. I didn't see everything, I messed up lots, and I got lost more than once. But it was real. It was me, stumbling through a beautiful place, making mistakes, and experiencing it all with every flawed, fabulous inch of myself. And that, my friends, is what a real adventure is all about. Now, if you excuse me, I need a nap. And maybe a good book. And definitely another tapas.

Okay, so, like, what *is* [Insert Subject Here]? I'm so confused. Tell me I'm not alone!
Is it hard? Because I'm not exactly known for my… uh… *prowess*.
What are the *best* parts? Come on, give me something to look forward to!
And the worst parts? Don't sugarcoat it. I can handle the truth. (Maybe.)
I heard something about [Minor sub-topic]. Is that as bad as it sounds?
Any tips for a total newbie like me? Please?
Should I actually bother trying [Insert Subject Here] at all?
