We recently stayed for 10 days at BLUESEA Aloe Club and overall had a really enjoyable and relaxing holiday. First impressions & staff Check-in was straightforward and set the tone nicely. Throughout our stay, the staff were consistently friendly, welcoming, and helpful. A special mention to the animation team who work incredibly hard to keep everyone entertained—there’s several daytime activities on if you want to join in. It was also great to see visiting singers and acts every other night, which added a nice touch to the evenings, as the in-house entertainment was not for everyone’s taste. Hotel and amenities The hotel is clean and generally well-maintained. Some of the external walls could do with a bit of repair, but nothing that impacted our stay. There’s plenty of seating around the complex, which is great for relaxing. The main challenge is sunbeds at peak times—there’s definitely room for more. By around 7:45am, most are “reserved” with towels, even though this is technically not allowed (as stated in the welcome leaflet), but it doesn’t seem to be enforced. There’s a small arcade and pool tables for some extra entertainment, which is a nice bonus. Reception will change up notes into coins for you to use . The pools are on the colder side as they’re not heated, but the slides are great fun and definitely make up for it. Lifeguards were always present and attentive, which is reassuring. A really handy feature is the back gate, which gives quicker access into town—saving around 10 minutes walking time. It takes 20-25 walk to the Main Street in corralejo. It’s worth a look with lots of shops, bars and restaurants. Drinks Cocktails are decent, though a bit hit-and-miss depending on who’s making them. Some bar staff take the time to mix them properly with spirits, while others use pre-made mixes, which aren’t quite as enjoyable. The beer (San Miguel) is always cold and refreshing. The mixed slushies were great for kids and when accompanied with a spirit of your choice. The reusable plastic cup system works really well—you can grab a few at once and save yourself multiple trips to the bar. Food We always managed to find something to eat, so no complaints there. A top tip: go as soon as lunch or dinner service opens. The food is freshest and fully stocked then—later on, it can take a bit of time to replenish, and temperatures do drop slightly. One thing to note is that birds do occasionally make their way into the restaurant area (particularly around the bread), which might not sit well with everyone, though it seems to be something that’s generally accepted locally. Rooms & housekeeping Rooms were cleaned every two days, with bedding changed every four, which worked well for us. We stayed in a ground-floor apartment. It’s worth being mindful that the sliding terrace doors and kitchen window could potentially be opened quite easily, which did raise some minor security concerns. There is a safe available to rent for €10, which is a good option for peace of mind. Noise levels The hotel is generally quiet after 11:30pm, making it easy to unwind. The only minor disturbance was the occasional early morning sound of suitcases rolling past—something to consider if you’re a light sleeper. Overall this is a good-value hotel with a friendly atmosphere

“An honest review from a 65 year old couple.”

My husband booked this holiday last minute, when I read the reviews it caused a real argument, so I went with the mindset that I wouldn’t like it. Coach pulled up to reception and we both groaned, it needs a major facelift. However, when we got to our room it was lovely and clean and over looked a … more

My husband booked this holiday last minute, when I read the reviews it caused a real argument, so I went with the mindset that I wouldn’t like it. Coach pulled up to reception and we both groaned, it needs a major facelift. However, when we got to our room it was lovely and clean and over looked a really nice pool area, this lifted my spirits a little. See attached photo from room 320. Went down for our first evening meal around 8pm, all I can say all the other food reviews are correct, it was dire, bland and cold. Next morning we went to breakfast which was cooked very clean and fresh. Next evening meal was dire and bland however I did find a microwave to the right of the live cooking station. After this my husband had breakfast everyday then we tended to eat out around 5pm. The walk into town is a good 30/35 minutes, we are both 65 years old and it was too much for us. Tried a couple of drinks at various times, again these were dire so we drank out a lot of the time. I think for families this would be a good hotel as kids don’t notice these thing, for couples I would not return.

“Underwhelming experience”

The children really enjoyed their stay, as they don't notice the same things that adults do, but we were all in agreement that we would not return. The staff work hard. They are friendly, helpful, and doing their best. We saw management walking around occasionally, but they did not appear to interact with guests. It was clear that there is not enough staff - long queues at bars, food not restocked in time, and rooms cleaned every 2 - 3 days. The pools are clean, but the fight for sun beds is ridiculous. Every bed is taken before 8am. It's just like in videos with people dashing out of their room before others are awake. A majority then sit empty all day - really frustrating. The food just isn't good. It's a limited, repetitive selection every day, and it becomes hard to get excited for meals. Sometimes you would have to sit and wait for food to be restocked, and it took longer than we would have liked. I burst out laughing when I saw the 'snack bar' - on some days it was just left over pastries from the morning, and some cold hot dogs. We gave up and ate in town for a couple of nights, because we couldn't face the bland food again. The hotel is about a 15 - 20 minute (easy) walk into the main town, but reception can call a taxi for you, which is about 6EUR. The rooms were very outdated, and not cleaned to a high standard. Our floor was covered in long black hairs on arrival, that seemed to wiped around the floor after each 'clean' (none of us have black hair). If you are after a typical, basic holiday in Fuerteventura this will do fine, but I would not recommend and I would not return.
