Plane Spotting Fuertenventura

Barcelo Castillo Royal Level 
is found in the resort of Costa Caleta and is just a short 15 minute transfer from the airport. The resort is underneath the final approach at about 3.5 miles for runway 01, which is the normal direction for arriving aircraft. The hotel is right next to the beach and just 100m to the resort centre, which includes bars and restaurants. From the hotel you will have little or no problems reading off the inbounds with reasonable photo opportunities to be had as well.
Location: ** Right underneath the final approach.
Spotting: *** Expect to read virtually everything off. The only possible exception being the inter island flights operated by Binter which can turn on to a short final approach, making it difficult to read them off.
Photos: ** Expect to be able to get some reasonable photos from the hotel.
Value: ** Seven nights half board in the height of Summer can cost up to £600. Winter prices tend to be about £450

 Barcelo Castillo Beach Resort

This resort is ideal if you are looking for your own bungalow rather than hotel room. You need a sea or bay view bungalow. From these you can even see the movements from your living room! You can also spot all day from the pool and beach area where nothing can be missed in the air. 

The resort is reported to be high quality and family friendly.

Elba Sara Hotel

This hotel is also located beneath the approach. Room 646 is a balcony room with views of the approach. You have to be quick to see the aircraft as they appear on final approach and are only visible for a few seconds. If you miss a movement simply walk into the corridor and look out of the window where they reappear tail on down the approach. 

Photography is possible with good results from outside of the hotel, the video below shows the opportunities available.
