Where to eat at and around Iberostar Selection Fuerteventura Palace
Most rates here are half board, so breakfast and dinner are in the hotel. El Saladar, the buffet, serves Canarian, Spanish and international dishes all day, with live cooking, themed dinners and pizzas from a wood-fired oven, and needs no booking. Teppanyaki Tsukiji, for sushi, sashimi and the hotplate, and alMar Beach Social Lounge, a chiringuito by the main pool with dishes to share, both need a table booked at the hotel. Star Café serves coffee and snacks around the clock, the Lobby Bar Sansofí has a terrace and a billiard table, and El Faro Theater Bar puts on shows in the evening. Hours are in the Iberostar app, and at dinner men need long trousers and closed shoes. Outside the hotel there is little on foot, so you will want a car or a taxi: the places below are in Morro Jable, 4 to 12 minutes away.

It is a buffet in El Saladar, with fruit, tortilla, crêpes and smoothies, and Star Prestige guests have their own reserved area in the restaurant.
