BLUESEA Gran Playa

Excellent stay! I was a little worried because of the reviews, but to be honest, I'll definitely be back. It was pure bliss. Having stayed in the annex building, I can say the only downside was the slightly dated furniture, but it was spotless. So, no worries at all. The food exceeded all my expectations; the whole family loved it. All the hotel staff eat here, and believe me, the value for money is unbeatable: crepes, Italian ice cream, chocolate fountain, grilled fillets, excellent chicken, meatballs, and suckling pig. The desserts are mostly mousses and cakes, but that suits me just fine. There's always fruit, sparkling coffee, beer, and wine available for self-service. From an environmental standpoint, the deposit for the cups is a great touch; otherwise, it would be wasteful and messy with cups everywhere, just like everywhere else. I highly recommend Blue Sea Gran Playa. I'll be back next year. The whole family was delighted with our stay, and we've been visiting Mallorca for at least 15 years, and this is pure bliss.

Price-performance ratio is okay

So high stars but only 3 stars. The hotel was a little tired but perfectly fine. It was an end of season visit after all. Check in was very quick. The staff super polite with no exception. Guessing as it was end of season the entertainment was very in house with lots of bingo..I guess its for some but not for me. The Animation guy did well though and tried very hard to make a good show. 10/10. Bar staff very good. I did see one chap being rude to a lady behind the bar. It appeared she was not allowed to say something to the rude chap, German suprisingly - dont normally find rude Germans.. or I havn't anyway. I have always found them to be lovely people. He got told by me though. The pools were clean. Again end of season so a little on the cool side. My son said he entered with two testicles and left with none.. haha. The location is super well placed. Now I move on to the negative.. and sorry, its a biggy. The food provision was very, very basic. On a few days a chef prepared food freshly grilled at the top of the restaurant and that was very good. But heck, the average provision was just not up to any standard. Again, it may have been due to end of season so running down the stocks.. but still. To quantify the food - after a few days we had our breakfast in the hotel but then ate out even though all inclusive. So, again, Staff literally 100%, accomodation 75% due to the mattresses requiring a new season change, very clean, animation 100% for effort, location 100%, food... well I guess you can expect this.. 20%. Look.. hotel... if your running low put a pizza bar on or a while you wait stir fry? Guests would much rather queue a little for freshly cooked than stuff left out - and your mash potato? Is that powdered made up - Awful. Maybe lob so cheese and parsley on it to camouflage it. Seriously - cook it more fresh and allow people to wait a little - it would pay you dividends. Would we return? Yes, but BnB.
