BLUESEA Alboran

"Really liked this hotel. We got an amazing deal, paying very little for our 2 night stay with breakfast. The hotel reception and bar smell gorgeous, like coconut fragrance. Staff are super helpful and friendly. The pool is small but perfect for the small number of rooms. The pool is salt water, heated by the sun. The jacuzzi is FREEZING cold, as its in the shade all day and isnt heated. Pleanty of loungers with clean thick cushions on. The bar sells chocolate, crisps and other snacks, prices are fair. Lounger towels are large and thick and can be hired for a fully returnable deposit, making them free. I removed a star due to the breakfast being a little disappointing. Food is warm, not hot. Cooked breakfast is a small disappointing choice. The toaster was great, huge and fast. Juice is made from concentrate not fresh, but it was ok. Loads of cereal. The restaurant has uk branded ketchup, and a good selection of butter and bread, which was lovely and fresh. Hotel decor is modern and very nice, room towels were fresh, very clean, replaced daily. There was shampoo/ shower gel and soap in our room. The hotel has several lovely outdoor seating terraces with lovely furnishings. Toilets in shared areas very clean. The waterfall in the pool only switches on for 10 min every hour or more. One negative: Although the hotel details advertise coffee making facilities in rooms, and rooms have a nice coffee making machine, the hotel refuse to give out more than one coffee pod per person per 24 hours. Because theres no kettle and you cant purchase the pods, this means theres actually only facilities once every 24 hours in your room, but the bar sell coffee, and theres a fantastic coffee machibe in the breakfast dining room. The dining room is small but extremely clean. Overall I would recommend this hotel, we had a lovely stay. Probably the cleanest hotel ive stayed in. Staff were lovely. Recommendations for the hotel: ☆ Provide 2 coffee pods per person per day. ☆ Extend your hot food breakfast selection. ☆ Increase from 5 clothes hangers to 10 per room"

"Just back from a lovely Mon-Fri at the hotel. Absolutely lovely staff. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Special shout out to Rodrigo and Belen, who kindly put up with my attempts to speak Spanish with them (as well as sorting me out with extra pillows and making amazing piña coladas). The room was clean, tidy and in a good state of repair. Small, but big enough for us. First time staying in a boutique-style, adults only hotel. Pool is small, but a great temperature (the size isn’t an issue when you aren’t dodging inflatables or pool noodles!). I’ve seen a few reviews that mentioned having to chase the sun around the pool area throughout the day, but I see that as a feature rather than a bug - you could always get the right balance of sun and shade."

"Terrible hotel !!! Very basic services, it does not look like what it appears to be in photos or images advertised by the different wholesalers. Room very limited in space, Comfortable mattress, Only updated service (pool), other furniture needs to be renovated urgently. (Not recommended at all)"
