“Lovely family holiday”

We stayed for 2 weeks in the summer holidays. Not our first choice hotel (we were due to go to Egypt but unfortunately TUI cancelled it 2 days before we were due to fly because of the IT glitch) but we were very happy.

We stayed for 2 weeks in the summer holidays. Not our first choice hotel (we were due to go to Egypt but unfortunately TUI cancelled it 2 days before we were due to fly because of the IT glitch) but we were very happy. Family of 2 adults and 2 children (aged 6 and 11) It’s our second stay at a TUI Blue hotel and it was good, however in our experience we preferred Alcudia Pins. Our room had both a sea view and pool view depending on which area of the room you were in. Pool area was lovely and clean. No food allowed at sunbeds and they were constantly removing empty cups. Lifeguards on duty during all of the pool opening hours and were very good at advising children how far they could go in the pool to ensure they were safe if they were unsupervised by parents/ adults they were with. Safety deposit box in the room was free of charge. WiFi was also included. Right on the beachfront Well maintained gardens Plenty of space for clothes Would like to Paolo for making the best omelettes Monday- Friday. He was very friendly and always had a smile on his face. The kids club was amazing, our 6 year old loved going. There were two sessions every day apart from Sunday 10:00-12:00 and again 13:30-15:30. Maria, part of the TUI entertainment team was absolutely brilliant! She didn’t seem to have a day off, she always had a smile on her face all times and was approachable/ helpful. We ate at the Taverna which was included in the AI package for once during our stay- delicious local tapas to start, a good choice of main meals and puddings. Only slight criticism is that they only set the table for us 2 adults and assumed the children would just eat their kid main meals, but they dived into the tapas too! I would definitely recommend to other families with younger children. We only had a couple of negative points, and they aren’t enough to ruin a holiday but worth mentioning: - The beds in the bedroom were like camp beds and weren’t that comfy. - There was always an early morning dash for sunbeds despite signs saying towels would be removed. - No air con in the bar where entertainment was held and it got pretty hot - Our towels in the room were not changed for a few days (dirty ones taken but not replaced which meant a visit to reception)

“Lovely setting with gorgeous views, clean apartments and friendly staff”

We had a lovely stay here, the staff were amazing and the apartments really clean and comfortable. Cleaned regularly which was a luxury as we usually stay self catering! My parents were near the restaurant on the ground floor, we were by the lane swim pool and my sister and family by the quiet pool. They had a lovely sea view but sadly we didn’t! Upstairs movement is noisy especially when moving chairs around. The food was good, plenty of choice but some mornings the buffet wasn’t hot and that was disappointing. The area we ate in was very canteen like and there was little outside seating, it says you can’t take food down by the pool, so more outside seating to eat would be better as the grounds are really lovely. The pools were busy and yep we had to play the sun-bed game and grab them early by 9am! We did see one member of staff move towels by the quiet pool once, which wasn’t really needed as there was plenty available, the main pool needed to be managed better but with everyone doing it I guess it’s hard to enforce. It was the school holidays though, so we did expect it to be busy. The quiet pool we found the best for relaxing but unfortunately it isn’t heated and was just too cold for me, so I barely swam. The kids braved it but my son asked to return to the main pool a few times. Which we tried to do but with all 8 of us that proved difficult as it was just too busy and very noisy! Massive 5stars to the Taverna restaurant, excellent food and part of the all inclusive deal, shame we couldn’t eat at any of the others as they looked so good! The beach setting is small but really lovely and great for snorkelling. The sea felt warmer than the quiet pool! No sun beds though or shade down there. Weather wasn’t the best for us, a few showers and cloudy days but when the sun was out it was very warm indeed! Bar drinks as you would expect, cocktails depended on who was behind the bar! Sangria and beer was good though and lots of fizzy drinks, water and juice available. A bottle of water in the room on arrival too. Entertainment was really good, the magic show, silent disco, family music quiz and performances were all great! We didn’t use the kids club but from what we saw they all loved it! All in all a great holiday, just a shame about the pool temperature, lack of seating to eat outside and sun bed availability. We would come back but maybe as self catering so we could try all the lovely restaurants on the beach.

My wife and I have just returned from an all inclusive week at the TUI Blue Flamingo Beach resort. On the whole we had a very pleasant and enjoyable stay. The resort is an apartment village rather than a hotel, and faces out over Flamingo beach. It is built on a steep gradiant and is not really an ideal location for those with mobility problems. There is a maze of steps, paths and ramps, and rooms are difficult to find with no help offered on arrival. However, the staff are very helpful and friendly in all other ways. The apartments consist of a lounge/kitchen area and bathroom with bedroom at the back and are ideal for families. They are clean and spacious and seem well sound proofed. The hotel grounds are kept clean and the TUI entertainment team are excellent, providing good poolside entertainment during the day and superb shows in the evenings in the spacious main bar area. Unfortunately, the main bar is the only place where you can drink in the evening. The restaurant is more like a basic dining hall but we got a more warm and atmospheric dining experience by opting to dine in the outside restaurant area. Outside tables were surprisingly easy to come by. The food is very good with an extensive range for most tastes, though the choice of desserts was a little limited. Outside, the main town part of Playa Blanca is about a half mile walk along the beach front, which offers a vast number of bars, restaurants and shops as well as the marina and ferry port for a day in Fueturventura in you fancy it. Yes, on the whole a good week in a clean and friendly resort but the up-and-down steps can get a bit waring after a week.
