Blue Sea Costa Jardin & Spa

"Good hotel Friendly staff. Good food"

"Wasn’t overly happy with the whole experience to be honest. When we turned up the reception staff were chatting even though they saw us and ignored us. We did manage to get an upgrade to a junior suite which was lovely. A beautiful room and comfy bed. The terrace was lovely too. I would recommend asking for rooms 006-008 as they seem to be nicer than the other suites and slightly bigger. You need to pay a refundable €1 a cup for your drink. Which means you can’t have two drinks at a time unless you pay for an extra cup. You can’t go anywhere without your cup as they won’t give you a drink otherwise. No cocktails on the all inclusive apart from one cocktail of the day. Which is unusual for an all inclusive resort. Location isn’t the best and it’s right at the top of a steep hill from the centre. I’d recommend bringing sensible footwear if you plan on venturing out. The hotel has chickens which are constantly going off every so often. At first it’s funny but after a day or so it becomes very annoying especially when they waltz into your terrace whilst you’re sunbathing. The spa is closed on a Monday and they don’t do any treatments on Sundays. Which isn’t mentioned anywhere. We were only there Saturday - Tuesday and we had poor weather and wanted to make use of the facilities but we were unable too. Food was okay. Breakfast and lunch was edible but dinner wasn’t the best. They only have about 5 hot options and the rest is bread, salad and desserts. Not many meat options but always plenty of fish. No nearby restaurants to go too though. Entertainment wasn’t the best. Pictures and information about the hotel say what is on such as darts and karaoke and bingo. However what the information doesn’t say is that karaoke is only on once a week and so is the bingo. Darts is something that you do with one of the entertainers. There’s no way of actually playing darts whenever you want like pool. The best thing about the entertainment was Maxim! He was amazing and he’s only been there 2 weeks. But he was definitely the highlight of our stay :) and did his best to try and make everything better and fun for all guests. The pool was ice cold. Way too cold for a hotel in the north which has poor weather all year round. The mini market inside the hotel is extortionate. So I’d recommend using Mercadona if you need any supplies. Ice creams aren’t included in the all inclusive which wasn’t an issue for me and my husband but if we were travelling with our children that would’ve been a problem. They have been included in every hotel we’ve ever been too."

"Had an amazing time, Manuel was so friendly, consistent and provided an excellent service."
