BLUESEA Costa Bastian

Where to start - read the reviews beforehand, take with a pinch of salt as always, and judge for myself! We were advised before arrival that there were works going on, tbh, I had to search to see where. They are re-doing the ground floor rooms in one of the buildings, but we were completely unaware from pool area or anywhere else, as no noise or mess. Our room was in the other building, yet to be renovated. Personally I do not find the 'bamboo' furniture offensive, matter of taste I guess. The room itself was spacious, with plenty of wardrobe space and hangers. Cleaned daily (if required), nice little balcony, I did bring a travel kettle and extension lead having read other reviews. Also the remote for TV and safe needed new batteries, which would have no doubt been rectified had we informed reception. Really can't find any real fault with our room.We were All inclusive, which can be a little 'samey' but food was always plentiful, fresh and tasty, had mussels on 3 occasions which was a real treat, noticed fish a couple of days, but not for me. Breakfast was good, everything you could want, even proper sausages 😂. The restaurant staff are very attentive, always cleaning and clearing tables.Now to the drinks - they certainly don't skimp on the alcohol, my liver can confirm! If you want 'named' booze, it comes at an extra cost, but for me, local spirits were great, also as someone else mentioned, the daily cocktails were good 😋 Wasn't too sure about the 1 euro cup charge, before arriving, but what a fantastic idea, saves waste and people return the cups rather than leaving empties all over the place. So, in conclusion, if you are looking for a 5 star hotel (which would no doubt cost a LOT more) this is not for you, but if you want a good room, decent food and strong drinks at a very decent price, then this is the place for you!. The icing on the cake for me was that your AI bracelet wasn't whipped away at check out, as usually happens, nice touch 😊. I would not hesitate to return.Thank you for a great week. P.S. the pools were freezing, but what do expect in March?

Decent Stay, But Avoid the Food We recently stayed at this hotel and had a generally pleasant experience. The reception staff, especially Jose, were very polite and helpful, which made check-in and any inquiries smooth. The hotel itself is clean, but it does feel outdated, and the photos online are heavily filtered—so don’t expect a luxurious look. That said, for a 3-star hotel, you get what you pay for. The bed was big and comfortable, which made for a good night’s sleep. Now, the biggest downside: the food. It was honestly awful—tasteless, overcooked, and not worth the all-inclusive option. You’re better off eating out, which is not only cheaper but also guarantees a decent meal. The only edible items were the fried eggs and bread rolls, and the coffee was just okay. Management should really CHECKED THE CHEF and taste the food if they want to attract more customers. Overall, if you’re looking for a budget-friendly stay with friendly staff, this place is fine—but skip the food and dine elsewhere.

I will recommend this hotel if you want to spend a short time in all inclusive and hot country, it has all you need, food, sun, drinks and very close to the beach. The staff was very helpful and gave us a nice big room and ticked all the boxes for us, thanks to the receptionist team for that. The food could have been better as I wanted to try more Spanish dishes but overall it’s good, it had everything I needed. The only suggestion is that I would like them to include more variety of cocktails as they only offer one flavour a day, but I did try Fanta a tequila and was very nice too. Try to stay in the jacuzzi pool as was the warmest for the Feb season and we had a good time. Fantastic for short holidays and wanted some relax time, only advice that the waitress in the restaurant should smile more :)

We have just returned from a week at the BLUESEA - myself, my partner and her 17 year-old daughter. What I liked the most were the staff, genuinely helpful and pleasant without any of the robotic, meaningless ‘corporate pleasantries’ which are so common now. We stayed in two of the themed rooms, which were spacious, clean and each had a large balcony. A fridge and a safe was available in each room. Some reviewers have complained about the food, and noise from the pool area late at night. We found the food both varied and plentiful, and of a good standard. Drinks in the bar were reasonably priced. Noise from the pool area wasn’t a problem, in fact there wasn’t any. The hotel was a short walk to a nearby beach, good for swimming and snorkelling, and about a 20 min walk to a lagoon formed by an artificial breakwater which is full of fish and other sealife. Our transfer to the airport was at 15:00, later than the 12:00 checkout, but there were good courtesy rooms available which allowed us a shower and change of clothes after a final trip to the beach for some more snorkelling. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and would be happy to stay here again.

Spent a few nights here. Rooms were lovely and clean with an amazing balcony and view across the pool area. Beds were very comfortable. Breakfast was amazing. The food was always kept topped up and fresh. Good variety of cooked breakfast, pastries and cereal.
