BlueBay Lanzarote

Literally just returned from a family holiday at the BlueBay. Myself my partner our son and mother in law were there for 1 week. We were placed in block A level 3 and never experienced any issues with cockroaches or ants. The rooms are really basic, if you’re looking for a 5* hotel this isn’t it (which you should be aware of when booking) for all we were in our room we had no issues with how basic it was. The rest of the hotel made up for the aversge room, the staff in the restaurants and bars work endlessly and we found them helpful. The animation team go above & beyond everyday trying to get guests involved in activities. My 3 year old son absolutely loved the mini disco which is on every night and the animation team always had him laughing. The entertainment is just what you expect when you go on holiday. We all felt like we had lots of choice with the food, for a 3 star hotel there are loads of options buffet style we breakfast, lunch & dinner. Some nights were better than others but we never struggled to find something and we never went hungry. There’s also snacks on in the pool bar at opposing times. Shocked at reviews that ripped the food apart. The location of the hotel is amazing, playa Bastian a smaller chilled beach is less then 10 minutes across the road and costa Teguise centre is about half an hour walk away or you can get the bus. The main beach and shopping area are both located there. Only small complaint the walk way area into the adult swimming pool is seriously slippy, I fell going in and so did my son and many others. So walk in very slowly. All in all the hotel facilities, the staff and the location made it an amazing holiday. You get what you pay for and for a budget family 3* holiday we were really impressed. We met many guests who’ve been coming here for years and we can see why. The atmosphere around the hotel between the guests is lovely too, everyone chats to each other and we made a few good friends. As previous reviews have stated when booking maybe avoid E block and ask for A or B. We would definitely return to the hotel and Costa Teguise.

We have stayed here in September . We were given block E . OMG what a bad room it was. Smelly to start with and you can hear cars from busy road. We went to reception to ask for a move but twice we have been told not a chance. A woman on reception with blonde hair was so rude as well. She told us that if we dont like it we can go somewhere else !!! Joke!!!We wanted to enjoy our holidays so we thought lets try and see. Ohhh my. Food in the restaurant is very basic and bland. Im not a fussy eater but i was strugling to find food . Unless you like greasy meat all the time and dry chicken you will be fine. We have seen lots of people going out for food in the evenings. We have been out most of the time too. There is plenty of nice restaurant in the area. Ohhh dont book trip to the market with the hotel . They charge €10 per person when u can get a bus for €2.5 per person !!! Also not enough umberllas by the pool. Some people were leaving their towels and going out for the day ! We loved out time in Lanzarote and trips around . We will be back but definitely to more friendly and comfortable place . DON’T let the PICTURES to make you think its ok as its in a bad state!!
