Blue Sea Apartamentos Callao Garden

We are on our last day today and want to say what a fab time we've had here. If you're looking for a 5 star , best food, hundreds of things to do, then this is not for you. But like us if you just enjoy a beautiful, quiet holiday in a pleasant, clean hotel with fab pools and views its really worth the money. We did all inclusive so all food and drinks are here. We've been to places with more variety but here they have a really nice selection of foods each meal time and vary the main meals each day. Drinks are great and the bar is really generous with shots. Things to think about are the many steps to climb up and down to restaurant, pools and bars. There are slopes instead at the sides but it did take a bit of effort .. great way to work off the drinks though in holiday if you want a positive spin! The rooms are very clean. Maybe could do with some maintenance but you get the impression they're working around to it all. Loved the spaciousness. Normally we are a family of 4 squeezed into 1 room. This time the kids had a bed each in the living area and we had our own room. Had to ask for extra pillows but they were happy to oblige. The beach in Callao Salvaje is lovely. Kids loved the big waves and still made sandcastles in the black sand. There's a restaurant/bar on the beach and nearby lots of shops, cocktail bars and restaurants here too. One review said it was a long walk to the beach but you just go down the right side of the hotel past the restaurant and you're out near the shops and the short walk to the beach it's great. We would happily come to this hotel again. The staff are warm and love the kids. Good value for money.

Just back from a few days here. Bed and breakfast. On first Impression reception is beautiful. A friendly warm welcome awaits you. Safety deposit boxes are available at €2.50 /day. Pool towels available at €10 deposit then think €10 per day which was disspaponting. So didn't use them. A steep walk down a hill to our room. Apartment was large and spacious. Seem to be equipped for disabled. However- Dated, dirty and in desperate need for an upgrade (see attached photos). Bedroom 2 small single beds which were really hard and uncomfortable. Really cold at night (required to use wooly sheets that were filthy) -single glazed patio doors on bedroom had wood rotten frames and broken handles. Wardrobes were filthy and clothes smelt after coming out . Frame coming off mirror. Bathroom High toilet and sliding door to bathroom (door hanging of the top rail and did not close properly). "Walk in shower" - shower head attached to wall sprayed all over bathroom. Had to hold shower head while using shower but still significant flooding after each shower. Floor tiles and grout filthy. Multiple holes in wall covered by card. We had family staying in another hotel. My son insisted on using the shower in the other hotel as the bathroom was so disgusting. Kitchen area OK. Fridge. Cooker. Percolator (may have been able to use as a kettle but couldn't work out). Surrounded by rotten seals. Selection of kitchenware available although I'd give them a boil wash before use. Living area Couch filthy. Matress mouldy. Cracked tiles throughout floor. Dirt and debris left on floor from cleaners Mop after "cleaning" floor. Balcony Large with table and chairs and old dirty washing line. Nice views. Food We were here for bed and breakfast. Only used once as food cold and unappealing. We were only here a few days so didn't affect us significantly. However I would be extremely dissapointed if I'd booked this as AI with small family. We didn't use the pool area as we opted to use a family members hotel given our experience from the rest of the apartment. Extremly noisy from 7.30 am with drinks deliveries and cleaners chatting with each other as they start their shift. Amazed I didn't see any cockraches!!

The stay was great. Beach was amazing, with black volcanic sands and pristine water. Rooms were comfortable enough and had lots of space. Pools and amenities were great. Food was not very good. But options of drinks included in all-inclusive were very good. Ababacar was the very best DJ and bartender of our 5-day stay. Such a great vibe and personality! The new years show with live music was also amazing!

I booked this place as our usual apartments were fully booked. I wish I had stayed at home. On arrival, the reception area is beautiful. That's where it stops. The rooms have a key, very outdated. I booked a superior room, there was no cooker, no freezer, no iron, ironing board, kettle or toaster. The rooms were dark and uncomfortable. We were given a ground floor apartment as my partner has mobility issues, but it was still 6 flights of steps to get to the restaurant. Breakfast was included, don't bother. The food was continuously cold, scrambled eggs, fried eggs, a poor excuse for bacon, stale bread rolls, a queue 30 feet long to get in each day. The restaurant is far too small for the whole area. The pools were clean but very tired and outdated. The sunbeds were a disgrace, as were the plastic broken and split chairs around the pool. The AstroTurf around the pool is a dreadful, I didn't feel comfortable walking on it. Its filthy and worn out. Cockroaches running around by the pool bar too. The bar shuts at 11pm, but if you're staying in an apt anywhere near it, take earplugs, as a few nights, there were crowds around the pool until 4am shouting and talking very loudly, having brought their own drinks down. We were told security roams the area at night but we never saw it. Maybe I'm too fussy, yes it's a cheap-ish holiday, but we never return.

This hotel is terrible. The room was very dirty and didn't get cleaned at all. The cupboards and wardrobes had a terrible smell. The door frames and windows frames were all broken with rotten wood. The place was so dated and old fashioned.. We also had cockroaches in the rooms.. The restaurant was more like a canteen and wasn't the sort of place you dress up for. My sister had sickness and diarrhoea then I got the same illness on the last day of our stay. On arrival the reception and the grounds looked well kept.. They need to spend more money on the apartments instead of the reception and grounds.. Also teach the cleaners how to clean! I will definitely not be staying at this hotel again Lilian ward

Lol the pillows were a bit stiff Other than that it was perfect Friendly staff . Nice bar and restaurant. Clean room with service everyday . A choice of swimming pools one was small and quiet and the others were larger and livelier. Wonderful views from the hotel . A town nearby and the ocean close too
