Bluesea Es Bolero

Great value for money, a simple room but clean & had everything we needed. The animation team were excellent at encouraging my teenage boys to join in & having something to occupy them. Bar & dining room staff all excellent.

We stayed at Blue Sea es Bolero this past June and had an incredible time, I wanted to write a detailed review as some of the reviews I have seen on here are very harsh and inaccurate. The hotel itself is lovely, very spacious with three pools, a tennis and football court and lots of seating around the entertainment. The entertainment was great too, we joined in with the kids disco it was better than the clubs to be honest . The acts were great too, with shows such as The Lion King and people eating fire and cover bands which we really enjoyed. The pools went very deep (I could not touch the floor and I am 5'11) but also had shallow ends for children. We liked this as it meant we were allowed to jump and dive into the pool. We went all inclusive, in which you have pay €1 for a reusable cup (which is switched for a fresh one with each drink) but keep your eye on that cup as we left ours on our table whilst we went to the toilet and they were gone when we came back. We asked the staff for new ones and despite recognising us and knowing that we previously had cups we had to buy another four to replace them. The staff will practically make any drink even beyond the all inclusive menu, we were drinking makeshift tequila sunrises and blue lagoons as they have all the ingredients it just isn't on the menu and you have to ask them for the specific ingredients (e.g. tequila & orange juice with a splash of grenadine = tequila sunrise). The food is very varied and has lots of different options every night but not so great for fussy eaters aside from chips. It is also not very clearly labelled for dietary requirements as a dish labelled as "four cheese pasta" turned out to contain beef and pork (which was not such a great discovery as a vegetarian ) but the staff will happily let you know what contains what if you ask. Whilst you do have to pay for ice cream outside by the bar, there is a soft serve ice cream machine with the dessert table during lunch and dinner. Lots of reviews talk about the lack of sunbeds but we found that there were always enough for all four of us to sit together even at around 9am-10am, but this may be because we came before the school holidays started. Our room was a little bit dated in its decor but clean and cosy along with a small balcony attached to the room. The bolero "section" has a little separate terrace away from the main amenities with tables and chairs that was nice to sit and play card games out on. There were quite a few ants on our balcony (that made themselves at home in our swimming costumes and towels that were out there to dry ) but we didn't see many down by the pool, maybe one or two. The nearest beach and the town are a five minute walk away from the hotel which is very handy. The beach seemed to have lots of bits of plastic floating around but there was a cool rock to jump into the sea from, but humans did that to themselves really - stop littering the oceans and that won't be a problem I suppose. The town is

Stay at Martha’s rather than Bolero First room had faulty air conditioning but the tan were great and did move us, although Es Bolero rooms very old and dated, both rooms smelled damp and musty. Good location and plenty of free parking available on street.
