Pool

Only positives were; The pool area and superior room was lovely. Entertainment most nights and 4 euro 5 minute taxi ride to main strip. 

However, everything else was really crap. The food was awful, you had the same food options every other day and there was only about 15 options. Multiple trays of the same foods aswell, so not even that many options. It was cold and disgusting, no flavour. We even had mouldy rolls, so not fresh like it claims. 

The drink options are rubbish, no cocktails and everything just seems watered down. The bar staff are rude and don’t reply to you when talking to them at the bar and the bar is so far away from some beds. I drank all day long at the bar, go out for one glass of wine and felt that more then anything all week.

We had 3 school trips during our stay so ruined the relaxing part of the holiday, it was adult only jacuzzis but had all the school kids in them because the life guard said so. The pool shut at 6, she would stack our sunbeds away from half 4 in afternoon but the children were in the pool until 3am allowed?? A group of boys had their private areas out pretending to you know what in the pool at an older couple in their room.  

Me and my boyfriend are in our 20’s and was expecting to get what we paid for but this was so much worse. We come with laid back mindsets expecting the worse and got that x10. If they fixed the food, drinks and staff attitudes it would be a pretty average stay, but without that it was awful.

Hotel would be good with simple improvements

The rooms are NOT as seen on website so don't expect luxury unless you're booking a special room. Had to change pillows as they were made up of lumps. Disappointed that the "spa" advertised is just a cold jacuzzi in the swimming pool. 
Aside from the above the place is beautiful. Well cared for & looked after by grounds staff. The dining experience was great. Lots to choose from & every meal was excellent. A couple of times there was champagne on entry to the dining room which was a nice touch. The pool side snacks left a lot to be desired though.... Sandwiches made with leftover breakfast meat with no butter!!!! Is that a spanish thing?!
The pool was clean & lots of sun beds so no need for towels & dashing about trying to get situated by the pool. There were a fair amount of umbrellas too.
The staff were very friendly and helpful & we would definitely suggest 10 days if you want to just relax by the pool.
Great experience.

Great experience

I’m so glad we didn’t take notice of the negative reviews we read about the hotel. 

We found the hotel clean & tidy, the housekeeping staff were extremely hard working and seemed to take pride in their work, ensuring the guests had pleasant surroundings.
The reception staff were polite and friendly and able to answer all of our queries. 
The staff in the dining room did not stop working - the breakfast/lunch and dinner times were over a large amount of time but they made sure the food trays were replenished, the tables were cleaned and ready for the next guests to use - all with a smile and friendly greeting. The same can be said for the bar staff. 
The entertainment staff gave their heart and soul into their performances both for the children and the adults. 

The hotel dining is very relaxed, definitely not one to go dressed up for dinner and it isn’t A la carte dining experience but it never claims to be. The food was able to cater for us at every sitting.

We were all inclusive and the payment for the plastic cups and the towels for poolside was totally reasonable as they were only deposits, which you had back once you finished using them. 
Each time you wanted a drink from the poolside bar they would exchange your cup for a new/clean one and the same with the towels until the end of your stay.

The hotel hosted lots of different age groups from young couples, families and older ones, the facilities could easily meet the various needs. 
The last two days of our holiday coincided with the hotel hosting a large group of young children for a football tournament, along with their coaches.
The hotel ensured this didn’t impact on our stay, we were still able to use all the facilities when and how we wanted. We enjoyed listening to their excited chatter, seeing their enthusiasm and energy. 

If we were looking for issues then parts of the hotel could do with an upgrade but the comfort and cleanliness it provided was definitely more important to us.

We found it a lovely, pleasant hotel, walking distance to the beach and town and offered good excursions. 
We would recommend Blue Sea to others and would definitely book again.

Awesome holiday in a great Hotel!

The stay at this hotel was not ideal.  as part of All inclusive, my 13-year-old son was provided with a spam on a reclining chair.  During our stay, probably 2/3 of the hotel occupancy was made up of children's football teams.  The children were very noisy and were literally everywhere.  The most troublesome things were in the evenings, running around the corridors and knocking on the doors of random rooms.  They made a terrible mess in the dining room and ruined the dishes.  I had the impression that the evening attractions at the alcohol bar were mostly aimed at children.  Nothing really interesting for adults.  Well, unless someone likes bingo.  A few times a week.  Overall clean and the staff very nice.  However, this hotel's glory days are long behind it.

Moim zdaniem 4 gwiazdki tk zbyt wiele jak na ten hotel

Friendly hotel, good service , food was limited but it was nice . Room is slightly dated but this did not ruin our visit. Jacuzzi could have been warm but in the summer month it would be fine . Bar and cleaners worked really hard and never a long wait for drinks. The drinks were good . . The animation team worked hard and got people off there sun beds for some activity .

Friendly staff

This hotel is situated in one of the most attractive touristic destinations of the island, Costa Teguise resort.

The capital is around 1.5 km away and can be easily reached by car.The hotel is perfect for families with children who love spending time at the pool. Lanzarote airport is just 10 km away.
