Stayed in this hotel for 4 nights at the end of June, all inclusive and here is an honest review of my personal experience. This hotel is definitely in the lower end of 4* and for the low price paid the product we received was very fair. Some may compare this to a high 3* which may also be a good way to put it. For starters location is very attractive. A 30 minute drive form the airport and 60 Euro each. Location of the hotel is excellent. On the start of the strip, in a great resort with lots of bars, shops and restaurants. Aswell as lots of beaches to choose from. Including popcorn beach which is worth a visit. The national park sand beaches near the riu hotels are also close with a 10 minute taxi or bus ride for the best beaches in the canaries. A water park is also next door pretty much and the Retro bar next door is the place to go! When checking in, which was nice and simple and super friendly staff we paid a 10 euro deposit for pool towels which we did receive back in the end after our stay. Rooms are available at 15:00 which is clearly stated so no one should complain! you can put your luggage in the luggage room and still use facilities as we had lunch. Our Room was located in I block at the back of the hotel, on the upper floor as we had email and requested before hand on email which is super! Would recommend. The rooms are large and have seen a few people complain about them. Yes if you look closely some paint is peeling off outside on the balcony, the door has a few chips in paintwork but the room as a whole was very large, huge sofa and desk area. Beds on the firmer side but personal preference for me so happy. Comfortable. Lots of storage area and a nice view of the landscape from our balcony. Cleaned everyday, aircon worked nicely. If i was to complain our sink didn't drain very well as it was at a slight angle to us not down the drain, but not the end of the world. Yes the door could do with a paint job. The fridge also wasn't very cold and didn't make our waters cold but prevented them from going warm. Safe is also included in the room. Shower is powerful with showergel in the showers. Not much to complain about in all honesty. Pool. Plenty of sunbeds no need for sunbed wars, not many umbrellas but that did not bother me, although i know it would bother some. Their is a quiet pool which you felt like you had to whisper going through. No ball games or inflatables, just pure relaxation. The main pool with a small shallow kids pool too has the pool bar with it and allows balls and inflatables. The pool was on the chilly side but just go in and get underwater and you warm up within a minute. Just enjoy it and don't moan! What i would say is that the pool has what looks like a temporary liner on the bottom of the pool. It has a few creases in it but it does the job just rather bizarre. It does the job even though it isn't tiled like typical. The entertainment is a limited workforce with only 2 in the team. 1 in the kids club bit and one doing activities such as water polo, darts anything. People moan but he does work hard to provide game which were entertaining. Espcially aqua gym. The tiles by the pool can get hot apparently and some people do leave sliders by the pool but we didn't have this issue as the sunbeds are close to the pool. Drinks are self serve at Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner with the usual soft drink choices, beer, wines, and decent coffee machines. The pool bar is open 10:00-18:00 then the indoor bar opens after that from 18:00-24:00, with all inclusive ending at 23:00 which is bizzare. The 1 euro deposit for cups is weird but honestly not a big deal. Just keep your cup with you. You can get a new one every time you go to the bar or just get a paper one from the restaurant or bring your own as alot do. Dinner, the downstairs restaurant is open saturday and sunday night which is weird and should be open at all times as it is much nicer and more formal. Not sure why they don't open it on weekdays. Please change this as the upstairs one is suitable for Breakfast and lunch but the plastic tables and chairs may be off-putting to some when having a formal dinner. Their also seems to be a larger selection of food downstairs too as it is larger, with nicer seats and ambiance. Food selection is less than i have previously experienced but we always had a full meal and sure everyone would find something to eat. A lack of a kids section may be off-putting for children and families. We said the quantity of selection is low but the quality is high and on par with your typical all inclusive. They do fresh showcook pasta every lunch and dinner with a variation of sauces. Fresh pizza oven. The meat selection of fresh cooked infront of you was good with only pork repeated in our stay, also included sirloin steak, very nice. It was also seasoned which is good. Breakfast standard all inclusive and enjoyable. Desserts standard. It is not all as bad as people make it out to be. Lower expectations to a low 4* and just have an enjoyable time, make the most of it . A few small tweaks could make this a solid 4* hotel.

“Oke hotel to stay for 3 days”

location was okay, enough parking space, rooms was okay. hotel was clean. Service was okay, but our fridge was broken, the reception keep saying they will fix it, but until we leave still broken. Noise level between rooms was good. All inclusive food was fine for the price.

“Not QUITE a 4* but DEFINITELY 5* staff”

This was booked as a very last minute replacement after our original holiday was cancelled on the day through Jet2 who were amazing. We turned up at the hotel just after 2am and check in was quick. We were given a goodie bag of food and water. The hotel itself is not overly big. It was predominant… more

This was booked as a very last minute replacement after our original holiday was cancelled on the day through Jet2 who were amazing. We turned up at the hotel just after 2am and check in was quick. We were given a goodie bag of food and water. The hotel itself is not overly big. It was predominantly British at the time of arrival and a mix of 50% older couples and 50% young couple/University students. The mix worked really well and everyone got on well with each other, especially during football. There are 2 pools, the main pool with a childs pool and a quiet pool just up a small connecting path. Our room was well above average size, 2 single beds pushed together and a sofa that converts. There was 2 wardrobes, a safe, fridge, TV with UK channels, and tea making facilities. The room was spotless, but does need a little bit of an update in places. It didnt spoil the holiday, its just general asthetics around the hotel that makes it not quite a 4*, which we will come across. The family pool area has approx 200 sunbeds, but only 15 unberellas, of the 15 two were broken. (there are a lot more sunbeds poolside than in the picture). At the time of arrival, the weather was hot, so unless you plan where you sit, (where the trees are) you would be in the sun all day. The pool is lined not tiled and freshwater, heated. The lining has bumps in it which could cause an issue for those with mobility issues, however there are good steps and a ramp. Water was nice once you got in. We only had a glance at the quiet pool, but there are 2 luxury beds there you can pay for and be pampered. While it says that in the reception, it does not say that on the beds and and resulted in up being 'told off' in Spanish by an elderly lifeguard who could not speak English, but did a gesture to us i have since been told was basically saying we were liers. You cant move the sunbeds, save them or move the umberellas, but its ignored and never policed. Food was amazing. Plenty of choice, full English breakfast, lots of meat, fish, vegetables, salad, pizza, pasta, etc. Deserts were a bit repetitive, but nice. There was breakfast, lunch, a mid afternoon snack bar and evening meal. There were theme nights and a BBQ. Ice cream was available from the pool side bar (little tubs). Daytime drinks come in a plastic cup. There is a 1 euro refundable deposit for each cup. Not a hardship and i understand why. What i recommend is hand in the cups at the end of your stay and ask to put the deposit in the tip jar. In the evening, they use real glasses at the bar and outdoor stage area. There is a 2 drink at the bar per person limit, and depends whos on if its policed. All Inclusive drinks end at 11pm. There is a cockatil of the day, it is the only cocktail available and sometimes it will change in the evening. If its too busy to make individual cocktails, a machine might be a good investment. We could not fault any of the staff. If you treat them with respect, you get respect in return and they do love a please and thank you, it goes a long way. We have been told Bluesea has new owners, so it could be they have an upgrade plan for the site. We really liked its central location in Corralejo, 10 mins walk from the old town and harbour/beach. This is not quite a 4* hotel, but certainly has 5* staff. We really enjoyed our stay there and in discussion, said we would go back again. Although it needs the odd improvement, it was a friendly, safe location.

“It could be so much better.”

Second stay from January 2026 (which was fabulous). I had previously emailed the hotel months before we went to upgrade my room and had a reply saying it was all booked for me!

Second stay from January 2026 (which was fabulous). I had previously emailed the hotel months before we went to upgrade my room and had a reply saying it was all booked for me! I even asked how to pay and had a reply saying no problem, pay on arrival. On arrival, to our surprise, we hadn't been upgraded at all, even though their paperwork said we were, but they said it was fully booked, so no chance? We were given our wrist bands and told to get the room key at 3, but it wasn't ready until 430 in the end. We found that the hotel has gone downhill since January. Foodwise, more than anything, in January the downstairs restaurant was open every evening, but not now only on the weekend. Pool areas are not very well looked after and definitely not properly cleaned daily. Also, there are only around 7 umbrellas, so many people, especially with children, have no shade. Seems to be a big staff shortage, and what they have got to do are very long, tiresome days and nights. Even though the location is perfect for us, we will probably look elsewhere in the future. Such a shame, as we thought we'd found a great place.
