We were beyond disappointed with our holiday. I raised the issue that there was an awful smell from under the sink unit in the kitchenette and the toilet and nothing was done about it. Hygiene in our room was substandard. Floor barely cleaned as we found dirt here upon arrival. Sink area nor shower cleaned any day. The air conditioning unit was weak. There were a lot of stains and marks on the floor on arrival. Some furniture needs replacing or maintenance. There is staining in the bedroom and living room come kitchenette which appears to be from water ingress. The apartment was full of spiders. Balcony wasn’t cleaned sufficiently. Mirror in living room area was falling apart which was a health and safety issue for our children. Walls were dirty. There were cobwebs and spiders on arrival and never cleaned. Most of the staff were abrupt and we didn’t find it to be family friendly. We asked for hand towels from the cleaner one day and through no fault of his, there were no hand towels available. There is also black mould around the air conditioning units in the restaurant. We expected a higher standard for TUI. We got sick during our stay and our child ended up being hospitalized. We did not get a holiday with TUI, we got a health crisis through the lack of hygiene in TUIs hotel. The reps said they were aware that hygiene wasn’t up to standard yet nothing done. We don’t trust TUIs standard anymore. I flagged that I felt it was the water from the machine which we were informed was safe to drink but it’s the only thing 3 of us had in common to get sick. We gave our son bottled water. I wouldn’t advise anyone to stay here. Spend your money elsewhere.
Try somewhere else!!
We stayed at the Tui blue flamingo beach resort for 7 nights during the middle of August. As a family of six (four adults and two children), we found the resort to be very basic, and in places tired and in need of attention. The food and drinks on offer were average at best, and the evening entertainment was very poor. The entertainment staff do work hard though and need commended for their efforts. During our stay and upon return from our holiday, all six of us have suffered from sickness and diarrhoea. One of us took bad at the resort and the rest took bad on the day of our return and the next day after arriving back home. We have reported this to Tui given this was not an isolated incident, however they have not addressed this issue…..The surrounding area of Playa Blanca is very nice however, so we would look to return but not to this resort.

Ok but the hotel staff not to friendly
The hotel was clean the food was ok. The entertainment area was not air conditioned it only had a few ceiling fans and it’s quite low so we found it hot and loud. One of the drinks machine was out of order one night so there were no water to drink if you wanted a quip sip of water before bed. The outside poolside bar was ok the girl that was behind the bar most of the time was polite but there were some of the bar staff very unfriendly and at one point never even acknowledged the people waiting to be served. There were self service for some drinks but the soft drinks machine was out of order for a couple of days meaning you had to go into the restaurant next door. The drinking strews on the bar were removed by the manager (according to the bar staff) and placed out of sight behind the bar so you had to queue and ask for a drinking strew. no bigger but annoying. The entertainment wasn’t very good apart from the boys that do the acrobatics we’ve seen them in other resorts and they are extremely good. Limited again by the low ceiling. There aren’t many places to sit outside around the hotel at night but the beach isn’t very far away and is quite nice. Cockroaches!!! We have been to the canaries many times and I am aware of the cockroaches. There were a few dead ones around the Hotel we had a large one in our room which was very much alive we saw dead ones around the restaurant and one morning we had a power cut in the restaurant and when the lights did come back on I moved our table and 3/ 4 ran across the floor and up the wall which for me was off putting. I did raise this with the hotel reception I also asked the Tui rep what precautions where taken to prevent food contamination, she hadn’t got a clue and told me to ask at reception which I did they said outside contractors come in at night and spray ??? All in all we still enjoyed the holiday but won’t rush back to this Hotel

2nd time and would defo go back for 3rd
Great for the young ones, kids clubs through the day. Food, something for everyone. Evening entertainment for kids and adults, great. Rooms, kept tidy, clean, spacious. Staff were friendly. Bang on the beach and a 30 min walk into the town along a nice promenade. Spoilt for choice where pools are concerned. in pool and pool side entertainment during day was awesome. More onsite toilets may be needed but not a massive issue.
Worth more then you pay
Currently staying here 4th day in, not sure why people have knocked this place, after reading some reviews I was a bit sceptical on a few things but proven wrong on all. Location is perfect 2 mins to the beach and taxi’s are so cheap if you want go a bit further. The rooms are perfect and yes if you want to be a nause and take pictures of a crack in the tile it’s not for you. The food is spot on, loads of choice and the quality of food is very good. The best part of this hotel is the staff including the TUI who will entertain your kids and the adults with loads of games throughout the day, the hotel staff are so polite and on point with any concerns. It’s a big complex and staying in A54 looking over the main pool is perfect for us as a family with 2 boys. There are loads of sun loungers and you will always get one but to be where you want to be it’s a 8.30 secure like most hotels so that’s not a problem. Not sure how this hotel is 2 star, maybe because of the age but it’s nothing I’ve noticed in the room or the hotel in general and would definitely return here. Absolute bargain of a holiday, thank you TUI blue flamingo.
