Blue Sea Costa Bastian

Excellent place, will definitely be back! We had a ground floor double superior room with two adults and a child staying. We were close to the kids pool which was ideal for us. The food was fantastic. Don’t believe what people say about it being poor, it was varied, great quality and spotlessly clean. Staff couldn’t do enough for us, very friendly and the maids came in every day to clean the room and provide new sheets. The pool bar was great, although there were often queues they seemed to go quite quickly as the bar staff were really on the ball. The life guards were fantastic. Watching all the time to make sure everyone was safe and kids were behaving. Kids were trying to go back up after coming down the slide and we’d hear the odd whistle blowing 🤣 The only areas the hotel falls short in are first a slight drainage odour that I occasionally noticed near the reception area, but it wasn’t very strong, just the odd whiff. I saw a few others had mentioned that as well. Secondly. The entertainment fell short of our expectations. But I honestly think most hotels in Teguise don’t offer much evening entertainment wise. I like the fact that the loungers were locked up til 10am to stop folk putting towels out at the crack of dawn. This was good thinking. It’s a pity there are no parasols at the pool area, as it does get super hot there and people would really benefit from them. This is an honest review. Recommend the place, for the price, its value for money.

We booked this hotel despite reading some negative reviews because it was advertised as a 4-star hotel, and we wanted to give it the benefit of the doubt. Unfortunately, the reviews we read turned out to be true.

The biggest disappointment was the food. It was by far the worst food we’ve experienced at an all-inclusive hotel. There was very little variety, the quality was poor, and it certainly didn’t meet the standard you’d expect from a 4-star resort. Our 7-year-old ended up living on chips for most of the week because there were no proper child-friendly options. Every other all-inclusive we’ve stayed at has had a dedicated children’s section, but this hotel didn’t seem to cater for families at all.

The rooms were one of the few positives—they were clean, tidy, and well maintained throughout our stay.

Another frustrating aspect was the constant queuing at the bar. It often took far too long just to get a drink, which isn’t what you expect when you’re on an all-inclusive holiday. If you have any issues during your stay, don’t expect much help from reception either. We found the staff there to be rude and unhelpful whenever we needed assistance.

The one standout member of staff deserves a special mention: the lovely lady in the mini market. She was always smiling, friendly, and incredibly helpful, especially when it came to booking trips and offering advice. She was a credit to the hotel and genuinely made a positive difference to our holiday.

Overall, we left feeling very disappointed. Aside from the clean rooms and the excellent service from the lady in the mini market, this hotel fell well below the standards expected of a 4-star all-inclusive, and we wouldn’t return or recommend it.
