We travel. It’s what we do. It’s what we have done almost nonstop for nearly the past two decades.
So much so that when we tried recently to figure out just how far we have gone, the best we could come up with is well over two million miles. That almost ten times of going to the moon!
But as the years keep going by we have begun to notice a change in our style of traveling. We are definitely slowing down a little bit, and also have become a bit more concerned with the comforts of home following us along when we go gallivanting across the globe.
That means we always look for a hotel that has a coffee maker in the room, and a refrigerator and microwave are nice to have as well. And, depending on the weather where we are going, we really like to have a pool too.
So it sometimes surprises us how often hotels, even the nice, upscale ones, don’t have these amenities. That is why we were so happy to find a hotel in the Canary Islands that does. Actually, it is more than a hotel, that’s why we feel like we found a No-hotel with pool in Fuerteventura, The Buendía Corralejo Hotel.
A No-hotel you might ask? Yup. A No-hotel is much more than a regular place to stay the night.
It is easy to see how Buendía Corralejo is not like a typical hotel or resort. No, this is more like a group of apartments, all of which feature a private terrace or balcony with panoramic sea views of the picturesque Isla de Lobos, or overlooking the peaceful inner courtyard of the complex.
To us, these charming accommodations feel a whole lot more like a properly appointed vacation home than a regular hotel. Each and every unit has a full kitchen with all of the necessary equipment and utensils, including the all important coffee maker. This works out perfectly for those times when we would rather try a bit of home cooking than have another meal out in a restaurant.
OK, OK, we know, who do we think we’re fooling? We say that we’ll cook but everybody knows that we are usually going to dine in one of the fine restaurant choices available on the grounds. But whether we use the kitchen or not, the home style touches don’t stop at there, every room at the Buendía Corralejo Hotel is also supplied with a hairdryer, an iron and ironing board, and fast, free Wi-Fi.
And guess what? In order to make your stay feel even more like home the whole family is welcome. Yup, that means your furry family members have a place to stay too because Buendía Corralejo is famous for being the pet-friendly accommodation in Fuerteventura.
