Apartahotel Blau Park

Came to this hotel 6 years ago, with friends, it’s in a fab location, perfect for pre drinks/food and sunset ,also a short walk to cafe mambos, cafe del mar, the hotel back then was great but maybe a little dated inside however the location and great beach front pool area made up for it. I decided to return last summer with some friends, I booked this hotel again as it was great value for money, when we arrived we where blown away, the rooms and pool area had undergone renovations and where immaculate, I now recommend this hotel even more. Great bars/restaurants on the door step, beach/pool view, sunset view from balcony and clean with helpful staff. 10/10 will defo be booking again.

Positives- We stayed at Blau Parc for the first time this month with our 5 month old baby for 1 week and overall we were really impressed with our stay. The newly refurbished rooms are gorgeous (particularly our very large balcony). The room facilities were also very good (the microwave made sterilising everything for our little one much easier). The room and the hotel in general is also very clean. Location wise it’s about a 15 minute walk into the main part of San Antonio and is surrounded by some lovely up market bars/restaurants such as Monkey, Golden Buddah, Kasbah and WikiWoo. We would definitely stay in this area again. Breakfast exceeded our expectations and there was a wide variety on offer- however we did find it was much nicer the earlier you went. Negatives- The rest of the hotel needs refurbishing in line with the rooms. The lobby, restaurant and pool area is dated and in need of an update. There are no iron and ironing board in the room as standard, we had to request this and the first time we did this, we were told none were available and to try again tomorrow. When we eventually got one, we didn’t have an ironing board just an iron so it difficult ironing just on the side. Staff are pleasant but not overly friendly or helpful (maybe just because it’s end of the season and they are ready for some time off). Bar/restaurant staff speak little English so that was quite tricky at times. We also had no shower gel/body wash for our entire stay, it was empty upon arrival and wasn’t checked and filled for the whole week (luckily we brought our own). Also, the rooms are advertised as doubles but really it’s just two beds put together with separate sheets too- we like to be in the same bed with the same sheets so this wasn’t ideal for us.

We having been coming to this Hotel for almost 20 years’ and was always very good. Following the extensive refurbishment it is excellent and completely faultless. The staff are friendly, receptionists knowledgeable and nothing is too much trouble. The breakfasts have improved with far greater choice, freshly prepared food with hot cooking readily available for omelettes made to order. Restaurant adjacent which is top end and Spanish. Great choice of food, usually busier at lunch time than evening. The rooms have had a compete overall, walk in showers, ample space, up market TV with 4 main English Channels plus many more if that is what you want on holiday! The rooms at the front have sea views with stunning sunsets, cost a little more but are well worth the extra for the view alone. Trust me on that one and far quieter than the street view… Next season there should be a pool bar on the roof along with a Spa downstairs. Overall a highly enjoyable experience, thoroughly recommended, huge thank you to Susanah, Paula and team, we will return.
