BLUESEA Callao Garden

The hotel is in overall need of renovation; the rooms are more suited to self-catering. The pools are nice, but there are no sun loungers. The service is excellent. Housekeeping is a disaster for four people. Only two towels every other day over seven days. The bed linen wasn't changed at all. All they did was mop the floor and make the beds. The food is very repetitive, with a limited selection, but tasty. Coffee is only for breakfast!!! But if you drink alcohol, you can drink it by the liter.

Rooms were large and spacious, they were cleaned regularly and fresh towels. Reception staff were helpful and bar staff friendly. There was plenty of space around all the pools. Lifeguards on Duty most of the time aswell. The hotel says no entertainment but there was around the bar each night 9-11pm, dancing, bingo, karaoke. Food choice was very limited but clean. Lots of steps and only one bar at the bottom of the hill by the main pool.

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.

It was a surprise when we first entered as at first site the hotel looked magnificent but as the week went on it got worse and worse. First of all the beds are very uncomfortable the pillows feel like rocks. Second of all , bathrooms are very dirty with marks all over. Third of all their rooms aren’t very secure as you cannot lock balcony windows and have to pay to get a safe. The room walls are very thin and you can hear a lot through walls such as people talking and coughing which isn’t ideal if you have young kids around. Food is very poor quality and not very child friendly food , drinks are limited and ice cream at the bar is not free with all inclusive. The location is fantastic there is mini golf on site with tennis etc and a futsal pitch just of to the left of the hotel a lot of food places and cafes around also. Services were ok as staff were relatively friendly but you would get the odd rude staff member. Entertainment is limited to about 2 nights a week. There is 1 lifeguard between 3 pools so if going keep an eye out of your kids bar closes at 11pm and pools close at 7pm. Also watch out for robberies as there has been allegedly multiple robberies reported of people climbing on balconies and taking expensive belongings as balcony doors DO NOT lock but is rather unlikely as reception is 24/7 and they have security walking around on a night time and early mornings. The pool area is very good as there is plenty of sun beds and multiple pools, around the pool you have a mini arcade the bar and pool tables which can be dodgy with your money. Overall not a great hotel for safety and for children and would not recommend only good thing about it is the area.

Bit of a mixed review. Location is amazing. Quiet but close to so many lovely places. Town very peaceful and clean and away from any "party" people Beach is not great very stony/rocky so not great for chilling or swimming. Will need to travel to a nice beach. Hotel is a solid 3 star. Rooms very dated and run down. Needs re decorating and re furnishing desperately. Decent size rooms. No kettle which was irritating. Food was average. Desserts were terrible. Bar was good but bar man was grumpy. Only one cocktail type a day on all inclusive. Very basic drinks offered on all inclusive but adequate. Grounds desperately need tidying up. Decent amount of activities. Would have been nice to have had a little entertainment. Even just one night. Perhaps even just a live singer. The ladies in the little shop were great and helped us book some jet skiing. Shop pretty well stocked and not massively expensive. Reception area is beautiful. Just need the rest of the place to be at the same standard. We hired a car and always managed to find parking on the street no problem. Pool loungers were an issue but we went to the pool near the top set aside from the bar and restaurant and it was always very quiet. I would say avoid the pools near the bar and restaurant if you want a little peace and quiet. We had a lovely time in Callao Salvaje and the hotel was good as a base. It is a solid 3 star I would say.
