BLUESEA Puerto Caleta

Location

Didn't have a private terrace

Ideal situation for bars and restaurants. Was able to keep room on last day (at a cost)

No daylight in apartment.

very close distance to pubs, restaurants, beach. very clean staff was great

couldn’t leave any food out on sides or drinks as loads of little tiny bugs came out the woodwork and attacked everything food and drink wise

The hotel is reasonably good value for money, and the location is definitely a big plus. It’s close to the beach, surrounded by plenty of shops and restaurants, and very convenient for transport—around 10 minutes by car or roughly 20 minutes by bus from the airport. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay, which we really appreciated.

The main issue was that the room did not match the photos shown when booking. The images made it look much more spacious and brighter, almost like a completely different room. In reality, our room felt quite small and was positioned in a way that made it seem hidden behind bushes, with very little natural light—almost like a basement. We understand that hotels have different room types, but the photos should accurately reflect what guests are likely to receive. Using what appears to be images of the best room for all listings feels misleading. When we asked about changing rooms, we were told it’s normally possible to upgrade for an extra fee (presumably to a room more like the one shown in the photos). Unfortunately, this wasn’t an option during our stay as the hotel was fully booked which is understandable. There were also a few basic things missing that made the stay less comfortable. There was no hand soap in the bathroom, and although it was a self-catering setup, there wasn’t even a sponge provided to wash dishes. Additionally, amenities like a hairdryer were not included and required an extra fee—not a deposit, but an actual charge—which, even if small, should be clearly stated in advance. Overall, this hotel has a lot going for it—especially the location—but the advertising and transparency around rooms and amenities could definitely be improved.
