I was quite impressed with the location and amenities at Blau Arenal. It's the perfect location for a good mix of beach and city exploring - as Havana is only a short bus ride away. The air-conditioned bus is only $5 for a round trip and picks/drops you off at the hotel entrance. So easy. The staff were very welcoming. It's a smaller resort and I enjoyed seeing the familiar and friendly faces each day. The customer service was quite good and all my needs were taken care of. They are professionals who take pride in their work. As a female solo traveller, safety was very important. I had no concerns at this resort (or when travelling outside). I especially appreciated my visits to the beach, as staff and security did a wonderful job of helping with beach loungers, umbrellas, and watching my belongings as I swam in the ocean. It was so lovely to not worry and truly relax. The food was good (despite being a picky eater) and I always found something I liked. The coffee, especially, was wonderful! If you are a solo traveller and are looking for a safe, clean, and friendly place to stay, I can't recommend this resort enough. Happy travels!
