TUI BLUE Insula Alba

I only stayed here for 5 days and I definitely wish I could of stayed longer! I came here with my mum and definitely want to come back here with my boyfriend as I can say it’s definitely a couples hotel😂 I honestly couldn’t believe how quick it was from the airport which was very pleasing. When we arrived it was just me and my mum as we had a late flight and it was just us who had arrived. They greeted us with fresh orange, a cold towel and some biscuit type thing I really can’t remember what is was. I thought I was very lovely that they asked us if we were hungry but we ate on the plane. Check in was fast probably due to it only being us two😅 however when showed to our room, we got taken on a golf kind of buggy thing which I couldn’t believe I honestly thought it was the best thing ever! In our room you were showed where everything was and how to work the aircon etc and we were left with loads of information on the table in the room. We were all inclusive and I love the fact they give you a card instead of wearing wristband, I also love that on the drinks menu it had houses next to the drinks to show it was all inclusive, I think that’s very helpful considering we didn’t know what they meant. I can’t fault the restaurant really I loved all the food, I’m not a fussy person so I was very please! I especially loved the breakfast you can’t beat a fry up and it tasted amazing! I loved the fact every evening meal they had different types of pasta every night. The only thing that was annoying is it took a little while to get drinks at dinner time but honestly that’s not going to stop me from returning. The staff are so friendly and welcoming! It’s so clean all the time which makes the stay even better! Honestly a very beautiful hotel💖

I went here with my husband for a nice peaceful break and it’s what we got. We pod for a swim up room and had one on the ‘Island’ this is the pool that is shared and in an L shape with islands in the middle as such. As it was October the sun was low and we had zero sun on our loungers, which are fixed. We couldn’t get to the central island where we were without swimming across so we asked to be moved. They managed to move us the day after and we had sun all day. The pool was warmer there too thanks to the sun heating it up. The standard of the rooms and cleanliness was great and they were a nice place to relax in. Food wise it was lovely. We were on half board and it suited us fine. I’d have liked more consistency at breakfast times (sometimes fresh fruit was lacking and different chefs making pancakes meant some days they were nice others not) I would also have liked less nuts on the desserts- they were used as decoration a LOT eliminating the options I could have. Entertainment wise it was low key, we did cocktail making, the quiz and sunset cocktails. The entertainment team were very young and all German based- I saw them hanging around a lot with a German couple who were also young and at the sunset cocktails spent the entire time we were there chatting to them. It just didn’t feel so inclusive at times if that makes sense. Didn’t matter to us but think the bar staff were more welcoming. Our Tui UK Rep was very different and was amazing. She helped us change rooms and nothing was ever too much. We didn’t go around the main pool but it looked nice and there was always plenty of room for sun beds. The a la carte restaurant is included once during your stay and the food and service was amazing in here. We watched the sunset- across the main road though which is the only disappointment with it. Outside of the resort there’s a few supermarkets and you can go for a stroll around quite easily. There’s a little bus you can go on to the old town and the main town that’s nice to do for a day. Next to the hotel there’s a casual bar with seats on the pebbled bank overlooking the sea. Amazing and better priced cocktails than main resort (Hollywood ice tea is a killer!) so we drank there as the sun set most evenings. Beach wise there’s one to the right but we didn’t go on this- a lot of other hotels had private parts on these or you could pay for beds. We just weren’t fussed and stuck to our pool. Overall we had a relaxing time with nice food and it was perfect for us. I would go back for sure.
