Thanks for taking the time to gather all this information together and passing it on to us. Good to see tourists returning and familiar places beginning to open up and others getting ready to. Nice to see you and Sarah being recognized as well. Appreciation is always welcome.👍

Cheers Paul! 👍

[@peterbrimer1271]

Thanks again girls for your excellent review. I’ve stayed at the Barcelo 15 times including 3 Christmas and New Years since 2008 it’s like a second home. It’s good to see so many people acknowledging both of you.

[@AmeliaBolger]

Thanks Peter, we’ve met some really lovely people out and about over the last few weeks. Great to see how many people love the island

[@deboraheiffe1343]

Thank you so much Amelia and Sarah, your video is a tonic today, I also got to see my villa on this video, directly opposite the Montecastillo British store. Arriving on Tuesday and delighted to see more of the resort open. 💞

[@AmeliaBolger]

I thought of you when we were up there again 😀 Have a great time! 😀

[@cathharrison6071]

Thanks again both for a brilliant tour of Caleta, showing some of our favourite eating places. Another great place to have a great breakfast and superb Sunday lunch is the pool bar at Los Lomas just up from the market. Lovely place to eat with friendly staff. Looking forward to next weeks update ladies. Xx👍

[@AmeliaBolger]

Yes, I meant to mention Tommy Nutters but unfortunately it slipped my mind. They are open and we’ve had some fab food there before and enjoyed a game of bingo 👍

[@cathharrison6071]

Yes great fun the bingo. Had fab Christmas Day there too, lovely atmosphere and lots of fun with games. Looking forward to our November trip of 25 days. Perfect 😚

[@cathharrison6071]

Hi both, just watched your food guide to what’s open in Corralejo and a great tour once more. As we always stay in Caleta De Fuste we don’t have the pleasure of trying resturants at night time, but visiting through the day time, we always eat at the Toro Beach which serve amazing food and also serve you drinks at your sun bed. Whilst back in November with my family, we’ll definitely be trying out other places to eat. Thanks once more, we love watching your updates. X

[@michaelcrainie5520]

Just to say many thanks for taking the time to make this wonderful Blog. It was once again very informative on the resort , and how both Tourism and commerce has once again began to awake from its enforced Hiatus due to Covid.. Please keep up the fantastic work as it is very much appreciated by all of us who regularly holiday at this magnificent resort and island . All the best from a cold and windy Glasgow...

[@AmeliaBolger]

Thanks so much Michael, I’ve found it really rewarding to document the progression and I’m slightly overwhelmed with how many messages I’m getting to say they’ve helped people. There’s so much love for this island that I’m sure it will recover. I’ll send some sun to you in Glasgow 👍

@@AmeliaBolger I remember her partner is called John, he was the excursion organiser at the holiday complex where I stayed last time. We got on very well, he shared some of the best off-the-beaten-track places to visit during my stay, many of which you have featured on your youtube postings, bringing back such fond memories 😁 Thank-you! They invited me to his 60th birthday bash at the cafe, live music, free food etc. I would also meet them swimming in the atlantic just off the beach near the Shopping Centre in the late afternoon. I must confess, I'm struggling to remember her name, Magda or Gretta keep popping into my head, but not with any confidence 🤔

Brought back some very happy memories x thank you, we were in 2001 moving out to fuerteventura to a place on chipmunk mountain but it didn't happen as my husband became ill . Still wish we could but at 72 it won't happen now unfortunately. Caleta de fuste has certainly changed , there is a jewellers on one of the main streets we still have a Christmas card from them. Have you any suggestions please as to the best hotels to stay usually 4 or 5 star also any good self catering places . We have stayed at the Barcelo spa hotel where the entertainment was excellent. Your video I thought was excellent so thank you so much again. Take care and live your dream.

[@AmeliaBolger]

There's a lot of nice private villas to rent in Caleta, self catering is a good option at the moment as you can be self contained and support some of the local bars and restaurants. We often book private rentals through Airbnb- tinyurl.com/up2d7po Hotel wise- Barcelo is still well liked and a lot of people tell me they like Elba Sara. We've had family members stay in Eurostar Las Salinas and Ereza Mar and thought they were very nice too (both of those not due to reopen until November). Thanks for watching! 👍

Hi Love the videos I have a holiday booked for October to Corralejo have you hear any news regarding t the Hesperia Bristol Playa l is this hotel open now Thank you

[@AmeliaBolger]

Unfortunately no confirmed reopening date for Bristol Playa, Beverley. It is currently closed and furniture has been piled up outside which seems to suggest a refurb. It’s not currently available to book until 1st Feb 2021 on their website and there are guests with bookings soon that haven’t been able to make contact with anyone at the hotel. There is of course a possibility that it might be reopen by October but I’d speak to whoever you booked with to see what your options are.

[@TurbomanUK]

Saturday 18th July here in Caleta. Barcelo Beach is open but no entertainment. Barcelo Thalasso is not open until August when we will come back. In general the whole resort and town is quiet and many places not open due to lack of tourists. I was hoping to see more open today, but still quiet. I’m off to Fado Rock this evening to mix things up from all inclusive, so I hope it’s as good as you say. 3pm is a time when most people either are in the shade drinking or in bed resting. Keeping the faith things get better. All inclusive is currently a waste... book self catering and eat out to boost local incomes.

[@AmeliaBolger]

I did think self catering could become more popular for the rest of this year, AI is probably going to feel a bit different for a while. Good to get feedback from someone actually on holiday at the moment 👍

[@TurbomanUK]

Amelia Bolger TUI told me this morning that if there is reduced or no entertainment at Thalasso in Aug, then that is tough luck. Once booked, they legally have control of the holiday and features even if they are reduced. Cancellation or changes are steep and stacked in favour of the tour operator. I would advise Self Catering ONLY to be booked. All inclusive are restricted too much to be good value at this time and local businesses deserve your money more and can offer additional things larger companies won’t. It’s been an experience this past week, so please think carefully.

[@liampoole238]

Hi Ladies. Great to see the place opening up again 😊 Some of my favourite restaurants are Fusion 22 Indian food really lovely. Fado Rock for great steaks. Ascension everything is beautiful in here. Nestor’s Argentinian food absolutely fabulous, and so many others. Oh yeah, The Step Inn is great for sports, evening music, and the food is great too 👍 Keep up the great vlogs, and have a great week 😉

Thanks very much for the info and the vlogs. Great information 👍👍

[@ted4479]

Problem for us is we would have to self isolate for 2 weeks on return as we live in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. Which means we probably won’t be able to make it as we don’t have enough holidays to cover 4 weeks 😢😬. Great destination too been there many times and always a warm welcome

[@AmeliaBolger]

I hope they will reassess things soon for you. I understand the need to be cautious but we’ve had so few cases here it seems a shame!

[@ted4479]

Update . I received an email today from Sheraton and they said they are aiming to reopen on 1/8/20 but are not 100% sure whether it will happen or not. So who knows what’s happening 😆🤣

[@amcg4455]

Can anyone tell me is there any extra restrictions if travelling from the UK/Ireland?

[@AmeliaBolger]

Mask on the plane, temperature check on arrival and a completed passenger locator card so Spanish authorities know where you are staying. No need to quarantine though. Quarantine on return depends where you live. England, Wales or Northern Ireland it’s not required. Currently, you would need to quarantine for 14 days if you return to Scotland or Ireland. Ireland will be announcing their ‘green list’ of countries soon so subject to change.

Hi Amelia..how many bar's and restaurants are actually open in the evening..our favourite bar is the Slap and Tickle..

[@AmeliaBolger]

The ones we mentioned in the video are all open in the evening. Slap and Tickle reopens Friday night with the usual karaoke etc. As you know Caleta isn’t really a late night resort and with it being quieter at the moment most places will close a bit earlier than usual most between 10-11pm. This will change as the resort gets busier. Jet2 have just started flying again and TUI from 25th July so I think August will be busier

Hi Paul, it varies from hotel to hotel as they are able to set their own polices to a certain extent. Buffets will have individual pre-plated portions of food. Some will switch to table service. A few of the hotels have information and photos on their websites or social media so you know what to expect. From what I’ve seen the larger hotels (Elba, Barcelo, Riu) seem to be handling it very well.

Hello Amelia. You say you live here, came as a tourist 8 years ago and stayed, how easy is that to do, ie renting a property etc.

[@AmeliaBolger]

Hi John, the process is fairly straightforward at the moment but will change from 1st Jan 2021 once the full effects of Brexit kick in. We bought a property. Renting is possible but there is a shortage of affordable long term options due to the popularity of holiday lets. The biggest issue is work, if you need employment here to support yourself then generally the wages are very low and opportunities scarce (especially at the moment). Better prospects if speak Spanish. It’s a fantastic place to retire to if you meet the requirements for residency. Citizens Advice Bureau Spain have a good website if you need more information 👍

Sorry, I don’t have any info on that one. They’ve been closed every time we’ve gone past and they haven’t posted any updates online either

[@davidspinner6674]

Are all the car hire .companies open in the airport Amelia? 'll

[@AmeliaBolger]

Hi David, all open at the airport. Some car hire offices in resorts are still closed

[@davidspinner6674]

Thank You 🙏🏼 Amelia, for the information.Looking to be there in November.

[@cmdrclark1]

Fun in the Sun and The Dog and Duck ❤ Missing them so much!

[@berniegallagher4738]

Me too hope its open in December .

Hi.I miss Caleta de Fuste so much!I still didn't go this year..I am a bit scared..I am a regular client of the other hotels,a bit further over the boulevard...there is Caleta de Fuste too.You have to walk something like 10 minutes along the sea and you reach beautiful beaches of golden sand without stones.You find there the Sheraton hotel, the Elba Carlotta and the Elba Sara Beach&Golf resort.I personally always go to the Elba Sara but I went to the Barcelo' hotel as well(which is shown in the video here, with a white sand beach but stones in the water) .A pity that the 2 english girls didn't walk that direction for a change.It was worth it.The beaches are fantastic!Greetings from Amsterdam.

[@AmeliaBolger]

Hi, thanks for watching! This beach is shown at 22:09 in the video 👍The 2 Elba hotels are currently open, the Sheraton remains closed at the moment

[@tizianadefeo196]

@@AmeliaBolger thanks to you as well...did't know about the Sheraton..by a travelling agency here in Holland one can just book for the Sheraton!!that's the way they make money at the moment.A lot of speculation around and with the corona.of course one can rebook again and again and again.....

[@grumpyguts]

Another great video, thanks ladies 👍

We're booked in the Elba San Jorge in September :)

[@AmeliaBolger]

Yes, I plan to do a video that will show a bit more of that area in the next couple of weeks

[@DazPreston69]

We arrive 5th of September so if anyone wants to meet up with us let us know

[@chuckkennedy17]

Love your videos, could you two maybe do a video about your decision to move to fuerteventura, why, how, when, what’s your life like now, that would be really interesting :) keep up the fab videos :)

[@AmeliaBolger]

Thanks! We’re enjoying creating videos with info for people visiting the island at the moment but who knows, we may do something like that in the future 👍

[@chuckkennedy17]

Amelia Bolger thanks for your reply Amelia ! Yes the videos are fabulous and look forward to more, have a good day :)

[@michaeldoolan9570]

Hi, thanks for the update, it’s great to see Caleta opening up. We’re due out end of August - some slight rumblings in the UK press that Spanish authorities may stop UK tourists due to level of COVID still here and that 2 districts in Spain have gone back to lock down. Is there any talk in Fuerteventura of this happening? Hope to be out with you soon 😎😀

[@AmeliaBolger]

No talk of that here at the moment Michael. The World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) visited the Canary Islands this week and declared it an ‘open and safe’ destination. I think if everyone continues to follow the rules then we’ll be ok 👍

[@edlirbristol4173]

Thanks guys for the video and infos. Do you know if Elba Sara Hotel& Golf resort is open as i am looking forward to book my holidays for the end of August.

[@AmeliaBolger]

Yes it is, it's been open since 1st July and offering all the usual services to guests 👍

[@DAVIDPACEYPHOTOGRAPHY]

Thanks for videos, going in November userly go to corralejo, doing some photography and video

[@AmeliaBolger]

Have a great time David, the walk along the coastal path is nice on a Sunday morning with people fishing off the rocks. Would make for some nice photos 📸

[@nickyfurmage]

Im just here to see you sail clear over 2k subscribers😎..... Also, i so need a holiday!!🤦‍♂️

[@AmeliaBolger]

Nearly there, crazy stuff! 😀

[@swenglishtv8974]

Can you walk past Tahona Hotel and Costa Caleta . Be good to see where we used to stay . And how it looks now .

[@AmeliaBolger]

Will try and remember in a future video. There's not much to see at the moment sadly as they're both closed.

[@swenglishtv8974]

Exactly. Never seen them empty.

[@davidcastles7860]

Great vlog love Caleta favourites are Fado Rock the bar out the water across from Atlantico shopping centre can't remember the name and Zanzibar up the hill

[@AmeliaBolger]

The lamb shank in Fado Rock is one of my favs. Need to skip lunch first though, it’s massive 😀

[@davidcastles7860]

Good shout the food is superb and Ricardo will see you right keep up the good work

[@jeffreyevans5931]

what about el pero loco, no mention of that bar,one of the best on the island for me.

[@AmeliaBolger]

It’s open! We haven’t been there yet but that’s high praise so we will give it a go. Thank you! 👍

Hi girls can you tell me what hotels are open as want to come back again in October and hoping so much more will be open thank you for the video was lovely seeing the place again

[@AmeliaBolger]

Hi Michelle, I imagine everything should be open by October. The latest hotel dates I’m currently aware of are Eurostar Las Salinas and Ereza Mar both 1st September. Broncemar Beach is 31st November but only because of a planned refurb 👍

Adoro Caleta de fuste me encantaría vivir allí es hermosa fuerte Ventura yo soy de las Palma a de Gran Canarias pero me gusta Fuerte Ventura ☺😍😘😗🙆👧

[@AmeliaBolger]

Me encanta vivir aquí, no visité Gran Canaria, pero me gustaría. Gracias por ver

[@marcosteffano]

I'm semi retired in Thailand.i wish I had tried the canaries first.been caletta a few times but just for a holiday.

[@AmeliaBolger]

We love Thailand, whereabouts? We chose here mainly for the climate and lower cost of living vs UK but it’s a great base to travel from too

[@marcosteffano]

I live in central northern Thailand.just jungle and farms and have a small resort of retirees.i needed to be nearer the uk and I'm bored of Thailand and it's rules a racism towards westerners.thailand isn't really what people think.£3,000 for smoking on the beach,nothing for a Thai.they crash into you as they can't drive and have no license and it's your fault and you end up paying them.crime is rampant but covered up.drugs are rife and ruining the country.money is the only thing they want,it is their real god.its not even cheap no more,super tax on all imports ,I'm currently in the uk and loving it.

[@iannelson2744]

Hi you two..can you do a blog at night in caletta de fuste to let us know how many bars and restaurants are actually open and the nightlife..thanks..

[@AmeliaBolger]

Will see about doing an evening vlog in the next few weeks 👍

[@iannelson2744]

Hi Amelia..we're coming out in a few weeks time..as usual..but would be nice to know what is open..

[@iannelson2744]

In fact..if you two do a nightlife blog..call into Scullys n I'll sing you both a song..😎

Sarah’s pretty decent on the mic 🎤

Duet then..👍🎤

Is it true you can only stay for 90 days after Brexit

[@AmeliaBolger]

From 1st Jan 2021 if you’re a British resident travelling anywhere in Europe (apart from Ireland) with a British passport then you can only stay 90 days in a 180 day period. You’ll also need at least 6 months left on your passport validity and adequate travel insurance as the EHIC will no longer be valid. Details are on HMRC website. Anyone wanting to apply for residency in Spain needs to do it before 31st December to avoid a much more complicated process next year. Hope that helps
