BLUESEA Callao Garden

Overall we had a fantastic stay here. You get exactly what you pay for, very good for a short break. I’ve done my review in bullet points as to what would’ve been useful before we went, as we read a chunk of bad reviews and it instilled unnecessary worries. Summary : Positives • We stayed 6 days (5 nights) - all inclusive • There was no €1 charge for a cup (it was €1 charge if you lost your cup) • 1 bar open until 11pm • San Miguel was the beer on draught • Premium soft drinks on self serve (Coca Cola, Fanta Orange & Lemon etc.) • Different cocktail of the day included in all inclusive. • Super friendly staff (Jonathan at the restaurant was incredibly welcoming every day to us) • Great views • Food was great for the value! Fish, paella, pasta, rice, chorizo, as well as an omelette station (some mornings) + some other food options. Food was somewhat repetitive, but it’s a 3 star hotel, don’t expect complete luxuries. • 3 pools, all clean and great! • Singer on at the bar on Saturday nights (we had one on the Saturday that we were there, and others we spoke to mentioned there’d been a singer the Saturday before too) Considerations • Lots of steps (it’s a hilly island, so you expect this, but just something to consider if you have reduced mobility) • Food does repeat every few days, but this isn’t really an issue. • Rooms are slightly dated, but you can see that from images when booking. As you can tell, we really enjoyed our holiday break here and would definitely come back again! Ultimately, you get what you pay for, and for a 3 star hotel & how much it cost for our stay, we felt it was fantastic value for money!

Stayed for two weeks middle of October. Overall not a bad holiday. Negatives No air con and temperatures hit over 30degrees, but patio doors which we kept open as much as possible Food not great, we had breakfast only and after 2 morning of fairly cold food we found a lovely little cafe in the town Its very hilly and lots of steps down to the restaurant and pools. Rooms dated No kettle ( didn't ask for one as found a way of boiling water Positives Room very large, we had a top floor and had amazing views Staff very friendly and helpful We found the pool by reception to be the quietest, and spent pool time there Check in amd check out very quick and painless Overall a very good stay, buses from the bottom of the hotel to the surrounding towns (Bus fares fairly cheap) lots of restaurants in the town if you are on breakfast only or want something different. Pictures are exactly as they say.

We stayed 4 nights all-inclusive and overall enjoyed our stay. The apartment was spacious with a nice balcony and terrace, though some areas (like the kitchen) were a bit run down. Food was decent but limited for vegetarians. Staff were lovely and very helpful. Downsides: no water dispenser, and you must buy a cup for drinks (you get the money back), which aren’t always well cleaned. Despite this, we still had a good time and would recommend.

This is my second time staying at this hotel and I’ve loved my stays so much. The staff are amazing and so friendly. I had a maintenance issue but they rectified it within 10 minutes which is great. The food was better than I expected and the drink selection was great too. The pools are a great and the location is ideal too. Yes the rooms are a little old fashion, but, they are exactly as advertised and are a great size with a balcony to relax on too. I will definitely be going back again and cannot wait.

We had a great week here. The room could use some upgrades but everything else was fine. Pools were great, plenty of sunbeds. The food was fine, staff were lovely and helpful. We would go to this hotel again. Thank you Blue Sea for our stay 🙂
