The Blue Lagoon Hotel

"Swimmingpool area is ok, but rooms are terrible and if you don't like a cold shower, do not, I repeat: do not go to this hotel."

"Stayed for 10 nights in an upgraded deluxe room. Only got paper cups in our room and on most days didn't get replaced. Most of the sunbeds are broken and witnessed people falling through them. Got impression that if you don't spend lots of money at the bar then you get ignored. Same food day in day out - be prepared for chips at breakfast (bizarre) and if are half board for some reason are not provided with a drink with your evening meal. I asked for small bottle water and got charged but with your breakfast you can have unlimited coffee and juice etc free so not sure why it's not the same with your evening meal. Won't be going back to this hotel in the future."

"Firstly, the good points, the rooms are cleaned daily and are cleaned to a high standard. Sadly, that is where the good points end. Now the not-so-good points The room was at the top of a communal staircase, so it seemed that most of the hotel guests walked past the front door, and to say the hotel guests were loud and unthoughtful is an understatement. The full week we were there, we were woken up by rowdy guests who thought that it was perfectly acceptable to shout and scream till 4 am. Not the hotel's fault, I know, but for some reason this hotel attracts loud-mouth Londoners in large groups! Then there was a small fridge dumped on the landing for most of the week, we later found out this was meant to be ours for our room. No one on reception informed us of this at all when checking in, very annoying to find out it was ours with one day left. It wasn't even positioned outside of our room. The balcony overlooked next door's hotel pool area, which i found extremely odd. Now on to the food, in particular, the breakfast. We were staying on a bed and breakfast basis. The breakfast selection was as strange as you get, considering the main nationality was British. Most mornings had a choice of cheap, tasteless cereals, wth the usual grainy cold meats and cheeses or broken biscuits with the hot selection being chips, beans and boiled eggs every morning with onion rings, cheese and spinach rolls, and scrambled eggs being served on a random rota basis. Like i said a very odd selection for breakfast. They had a cook making omelettes but even they got extremely tedious after a few days. The drinks were the cheapest orange juice imaginable with breakfast tea already made up in a tea urn, which i found odd too. The coffee machine was passable, but the general feeling was they were obliged to provide it so they were doing it as cheaply as the hotel could get away with. The staff were about as interactive with the guests as a clothes shop dummy. George, the bar manager, only seemed bothered about you if you spent most of your days boozing around the pool bar. It's sad when hospitality is only extended to the ones spending the most. Like I stated earlier, it was like a shouting contest around there. Danny Dyer wannabes getting fuelled up every day and all vying to talk over the others. The sunbeds were absolutely crammed in around the pool area and the were a lot of broken ones amongst them. It was near the end of their season, granted but to leave broken beds out is in my opinion, is unforgivable in this day and age. We visited this same hotel three years ago and although i enjoyed it last time, i can't help but feel that it has gone downhill dramatically. Obviously, i would never return again now after seeing the sad decline in standards, etc of the hotel. There are far too many more modern and customer-friendly hotels now in the area to return here."
