BLUESEA Callao Garden

We did not expect much, but we're hoping for better. When we first arrived, the area looked great. The lobby was very nice and looked quite fancy, actually. The guy at the front desk was okay could be friendlier but overall okay. Major downside is that the wait for your rooms to be ready was actually ridiculous, but we managed to convince them to give us at least one of the rooms early. The food is mediocre at best. Most of the meat was dry and was basically the same thing every day. Cocktails were good, but they demanded cash for the cup, and if you didn't have it, then sorry you're not getting anything. One barman was particularly nasty about this rule for no good reason. There was no entertainment despite advertising otherwise, and the location itself is quite remote and quiet, with all the good spots being 10-20 min away by car for 1+ hours away by bus. Also, the cleaning was non existing they make your bed every other day and mopped the floor that hadn't even been swept. One day, we didn't even receive towels after they took the old ones away. Overall, don't expect much.

After reading bad reviews I was a little apprehensive about our stay. We are currently on a 4 night stay here, with one night left to go at Calleo Garden and I have to say, do not listen to the reviews. Our room is superb, large, clean, beautiful views. The staff are very friendly, I'd like to give a mention to Eduardo, Kevin And Luis lovely guys who will go above and beyond for you. The food... The food changes daily. There's lots of choice and you won't go hungry. My husband is very fussy and the first day I was worried as there wasn't much for him to eat and reviews had reported that it was the same food every day....that's a lie. Every day the options for breakfast, lunch and dinner change. He got to eat plenty and didn't go hungry. The food is also delicious. The pools. There are actually 4 pools, one is hidden away from the other three. The pool areas are clean and in a beautiful setting. Lovely cool water for when you are needing to cool down after being in the sun . These areas are cleaned daily by the lovely staff. Can't fault it at all. The Bar. I honestly have no idea why people are complaining. It has everything you need. Yes you have to pay a euro deposit for your cup but this is given back to you when you hand it in. I love this idea and it's much better than plastic throw away cups that would end up littering this beautiful place. The beer is san Miguel so hardly a bad choice. The spirits are plentiful and not watered down like some reviews state plus they are generous in their servings. There was entertainment (Friday only) but as it's out of season this is to be expected. The dreaded steps. Yes there are a lot of steps, I have serious mobility issues (fibromyalgia) and some days we're harder than others but due to the location of the hotel, it's to be expected, it also states all over the websites about these steps so its not like you are not warned. The steps are in little bursts around the hotel so it's not as bad as it seems. I personally think it adds to the character of the hotel and my weightloss lol Overall I love this hotel. The views are outstanding, we will definitely come back (can we choose the room we had again? Hibiscos 3002)

For someone who travels solo and does more outdoor activities to within the hotel / all inclusive deals - I’d say it was a good deal for me. The location is located in one of the reserved, peaceful, quiet places of the island with grocery shops , restaurants and ofcourse the beach close by. It has 3 swimming pools (10:00-18:00) with ample number of sun beds. The breakfast was just okay, not a lot of variety but it’s definitely doable if you don’t care to eat out for lunch and dinner. The room was conducive, spacious, nice views, clean and well maintained.

A holiday is what you make it and overall we had a really fab 6 nights holiday here. If you're looking for a cheap, all inclusive holiday in a lovely spot and away from the crowds this is a great base. We would return and stay all inclusive even though we eat out a lot. We loved the area/location with easy transport links running every 15 minutes and a close by taxi rank. It's much better to use the local supermarkets rather than the on-site shop. Just remember that this is a 3 star complex in need of refurbishment with a repetitive menu, no daytime entertainment and only have very short entertainment on a Friday night.

Rooms are dated but very clean, pools are lovely and food has been good even though it is limited. We have had no entertainment till tonight which was Jorge party imagine 360 was fantastic experience and fun to do. You dress up and dance and he videos it and then air drops it to you for you to keep and leaves you with great memories of our trip.
