BlueBay Lanzarote

Just had 5 days at Bluebay Hotel ,very mixed reviews but I have to say for a 3 star I thought it was great value for money .We arrived at 1 pm for check in which was quick and efficient and our room was ready which was a bonus .The rooms are a good size with a fully equipped kitchen /diner which is a bit strange for A/I but great for families ,the bathroom was modern with a good size walk in shower and the bedroom was also large with built in wardrobes and with the balcony all in all we were well satisfied .The pool is a great size with plenty of sunbeds so no need to get up early and the area is kept very clean ,their is a pool bar, help yourself to beer ,wine,soft drinks ,tea and coffees' and their is a buffet bar serving burgers, hot dogs, chips salad etc which is open virtually all day with a nice covered seating area if you want a bit of shade .The main restaurant is just off reception and serves breakfast, lunch and dinner although not a huge selection to choose from was more than adequate to save on wastage and the salad bar was exceptional again all your drinks are on tap to self serve. Their is a comfortable lounge bar that opens at 6 00 if you want a quiet drink and you also have a large entertainment bar which is well equipped .For us the staff make this hotel they are excellent the waiters, waitresses, bar staff are all very friendly and do a great job and keep all areas including the grounds very clean and tidy . Their are a few negatives about the hotel which could make it far better the entertainment is very poor and needs reviewing ,and the complex is looking a bit tired on the outside which a good paint job would put right .Within 5 minutes walk from the hotel their are a sprinkling of bars that all show live sport and the centre of Teguise and main beach is a pleasant 15 minute walk or if you are unable to walk costs about 4 euros in a taxi .All in all thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back .

Been here previously over last 3 years and although same staff its also same decor. Weather was good for this time of year. Good points: staff loveley always smiling. Had nice veiew from balcony looking over pool and beach. Walk to beach not far from resort and shops within walking distance too. Entertainment is the usual for all inclusive somthing for kids and adults. Cleaners there everyday apart from wednesdays which was no problem. Food was dissapointing this time .breakfast eg. Bacon beans etc all cold eggs wernt cooked proper unless you asked for it cooked longer. The fish was sent back as it was undercooked and this was noticed by a few also chicken on 1 occasion was undercooked. There was also alot of bone in fish on 1 day. We skipped breakfast as it wasnt worth it. Only stayed for four nights this time and 2 of evening meals was just from salad baras there wasn't much choice. Loveley restaurants on beach front.rooms are still same but curtains looking tired and stained as well as living room settee.we had free wifi with our tour operater so we watched netflix on tablet as only 1 english channel in room , news. Nice place but think we try somwhere else this year.

We stayed here for a week over new year. Chose the hotel primarily due to the children’s facilities I had read about. On arrival, from the outside, looks very nice and modern. The rest of the complex is looking somewhat tired. Everything about this hotel was just OK. Nothing special, nothing to rave about. There was always something you could find to eat, there was always a sunbed available. The rooms themselves were ok, but not a lot of lighting so quite dull, they weren’t very clean either... dust under the beds, behind the sink, even a token dead cockroach behind the sofa tangled up in hairs and dust... obviously been there a while?! The kids programme was disappointing during the day, hardly saw an entertainer for the first five days we were there... when we walked to the kids club, it was locked up... On an evening, I thought the entertainment was good, my little boy enjoyed the disco and various magic shows etc which were on. Staff were all very polite, and when we needed any assistance it was quick to come. Would I go back? I don’t think so...
