Where to eat at and around Paradisus by Meliá Fuerteventura

Every stay is all-inclusive, so most meals are in the hotel. Gastro Hall, the buffet, serves breakfast and dinner every day. Mascalzone is a trattoria with a wood oven and home-made pasta; Lemon Fish Nikkei, a casual bar and restaurant facing the lagoon, serves ceviches with the sunset and the evening shows; Kanna is the pool restaurant at lunch; The Shack, the pool bar, serves drinks and light food from 10am to 6pm; and Ginger Grand Café & Lobby Bar serves coffee, pastries, dishes and cocktails all day. Mahos, the signature tasting menu of local produce, is for adults only (16+). There is no town around the hotel, and the only places on foot are the beach bar at the windsurf centre and ZEL next door; for the rest you will want a car or a taxi.
