Hi Arnie

We have booked for the Magic Life on the beach (All Inclusive) and it has a naturist section as do the Fuerteventura Princess and the Jandia mentioned in Magoos post.

We fly in 2 weeks.

Personally, I like the Fuerteventura Princess (FP). I'm not interested in All-Inclusive as I spend no time at the hotel during the day. Just came back from there last week. I love the beaches bewteen Costa Calma and the FP, so on most days, I get the Tiadhe Bus up along the coast and then spend the day ambling back along the beach. When I get back to the FP, it's just a case of turning right, in through the hotel's gate, and then round to the naturist area for a nice shower before returning to my room. My return home was quite timely as I missed this brief spell of bad weather, they've just had. Already planning my next trip though.

what is the Tiahe bus and where do you get it from?
I have walked from Jandia Princess to Costa Calma, but i like your idea best.
I like Club Magic Life as it is all Inclusive where others you have to pay for certain items!

And where do you get off the bus ? Assume you don't go all the way up to C. Calma every day? Bit more than an amble back. Off at Gorriones? Or Risco ?

I've been making some notes for a review I'll post on Tripadvisor. Haven't quite finished yet, but here are my notes on bus services.
Sadly the local Blue & Yellow service which used to shuttle back and to between Morro Jable, various hotels (including the two Princess ones), and Esquinzo is no longer running. I've read that it may return, but no sign of this happening yet. The bus company Tiadhe (http://www.maxoratabus.com/tiadhe) runs services on the island, and the two main ones that pass near the hotel are the No:1 Morro Jable to Puerto Rosario and the No: 5 Morro Jable to Costa Calma. When I say 'near', they run along the 'old' main road at the top of the hill. The climb up to the stop takes around 15 to 20 minutes. There's a concrete shelter on the north side of the road, but alas the bench and sign on the south side of the road have gone missing – well the sign now stands a few yards down the hillside, but I guess the bench is now on someone's patio.
There are also maps on here (http://www.fuerteventuratransportes.com/lineas.asp) that give the actual bus routes and the stops. Occasionally, a helpful driver has dropped me off between stops when it was safe to do so, but generally they stick to official stops only. Warning: Northbound and southbound routes are not always the exact opposite of each other. For example – northbound buses call at the Barranco Los Canarios, but my understanding is that southbound ones don't. I think they use the faster new road when on their way south.
The Tiadhe timetables only give the start times and not the times for individual stops. I found the north bound buses generally arrived between 15 and 30 minutes after the Morro Jable start times. If you plan to use the bus a lot, it would be worth getting a 'Bono' or BtF prepayment card. In February 2013, they started selling these Bono cards on the buses. The cards now seem to cost €2 and you then load the card with a credit in multiples of €5 (Min. €15). When you use the card, you get a 30% discount on fares. I think a couple or family only needs one card. My card is valid until 2028, so I should be able to use my unused credit on future holidays. It was nice getting a discount, and it avoided having to fiddle about with change for fares.
I found a proposal on the local council's website (dated Nov 2012) that the No.5 service was to be rerouted down past the Princess hotels and into Esquinzo before returning up the hill to the main road. If it happens, I don't suppose it will be anytime soon, but it would be great if it does happen idc. If the '5' does get re-routed, I guess that will mean the Blue & Yellow service is less likely to return.
No bus stop at the junction for Risco el Paso, I'm afraid (as far as I'm aware). This year my usual jump-off point was the Barranco Los Canarios stop. I have on previous holidays used the Hotel Los Gorrionnes stop. I think the No:5's must still stop there, plus one or two of the No:1's as indicated on the No:1 timetable.
Hope above is helpful and of interest.
