Blue Sea Apartamentos Callao Garden

Guests praise the friendly, helpful staff and the cleanliness of the spacious rooms. However, no specific disadvantages were mentioned in the reviews.

Just back from a few days here. Bed and breakfast. On first Impression reception is beautiful. A friendly warm welcome awaits you. Safety deposit boxes are available at €2.50 /day. Pool towels available at €10 deposit then think €10 per day which was disspaponting. So didn't use them. A steep walk down a hill to our room. Apartment was large and spacious. Seem to be equipped for disabled. However- Dated, dirty and in desperate need for an upgrade (see attached photos). Bedroom 2 small single beds which were really hard and uncomfortable. Really cold at night (required to use wooly sheets that were filthy) -single glazed patio doors on bedroom had wood rotten frames and broken handles. Wardrobes were filthy and clothes smelt after coming out . Frame coming off mirror. Bathroom High toilet and sliding door to bathroom (door hanging of the top rail and did not close properly). "Walk in shower" - shower head attached to wall sprayed all over bathroom. Had to hold shower head while using shower but still significant flooding after each shower. Floor tiles and grout filthy. Multiple holes in wall covered by card. We had family staying in another hotel. My son insisted on using the shower in the other hotel as the bathroom was so disgusting. Kitchen area OK. Fridge. Cooker. Percolator (may have been able to use as a kettle but couldn't work out). Surrounded by rotten seals. Selection of kitchenware available although I'd give them a boil wash before use. Living area Couch filthy. Matress mouldy. Cracked tiles throughout floor. Dirt and debris left on floor from cleaners Mop after "cleaning" floor. Balcony Large with table and chairs and old dirty washing line. Nice views. Food We were here for bed and breakfast. Only used once as food cold and unappealing. We were only here a few days so didn't affect us significantly. However I would be extremely dissapointed if I'd booked this as AI with small family. We didn't use the pool area as we opted to use a family members hotel given our experience from the rest of the apartment. Extremly noisy from 7.30 am with drinks deliveries and cleaners chatting with each other as they start their shift. Amazed I didn't see any cockraches!!

I booked this place as our usual apartments were fully booked. I wish I had stayed at home. On arrival, the reception area is beautiful. That's where it stops. The rooms have a key, very outdated. I booked a superior room, there was no cooker, no freezer, no iron, ironing board, kettle or toaster. The rooms were dark and uncomfortable. We were given a ground floor apartment as my partner has mobility issues, but it was still 6 flights of steps to get to the restaurant. Breakfast was included, don't bother. The food was continuously cold, scrambled eggs, fried eggs, a poor excuse for bacon, stale bread rolls, a queue 30 feet long to get in each day. The restaurant is far too small for the whole area. The pools were clean but very tired and outdated. The sunbeds were a disgrace, as were the plastic broken and split chairs around the pool. The AstroTurf around the pool is a dreadful, I didn't feel comfortable walking on it. Its filthy and worn out. Cockroaches running around by the pool bar too. The bar shuts at 11pm, but if you're staying in an apt anywhere near it, take earplugs, as a few nights, there were crowds around the pool until 4am shouting and talking very loudly, having brought their own drinks down. We were told security roams the area at night but we never saw it. Maybe I'm too fussy, yes it's a cheap-ish holiday, but we never return.
