My experience at this hotel raises serious concerns regarding minimum operating and safety standards.
The building is in an advanced state of deterioration. There are areas where plaster is coming off, the finishes are visibly damaged, and the overall impression is that of a property that has not been properly maintained for years. The level of wear and neglect goes far beyond the idea of a “modest hotel” and enters the realm of failing to provide basic, decent accommodation conditions.
In the room, the furniture was old and damaged, and cleanliness was severely lacking. The presence of cockroaches and ants is not merely unpleasant — it is unacceptable. The bathroom countertop was swollen from moisture and showed clear signs of mold. The doors appeared improvised and patched with panel pieces, which raises further concerns about safety and proper maintenance.
Another problematic aspect is the pricing policy. Absolutely basic amenities are charged extra — including the TV remote control and the use of the safe. Practically every service is monetized separately, without the overall standard of the hotel justifying these additional costs.
During the night, the room temperature was very low, making it impossible to rest properly. Ensuring a minimum level of thermal comfort should be a standard, not a luxury.
Breakfast was below acceptable standards: limited options, poor organization, overcrowding, and a generally questionable level of hygiene. The dining area reflected the same lack of concern for quality.
This is not about unrealistic expectations or excessive demands. It is about minimum standards of hygiene, safety, and decency. I believe this property should be seriously evaluated by the relevant authorities and by the platforms that promote it.
I strongly advise caution to anyone considering a reservation here.

Rooms were beautiful. Service was very nice, but at the restaurant if it wasn’t breakfast you were (at least me) treated like a pest. The location is amazing. Definitely not an area do single people. More for couples and retirees. Had to drive 30 minutes south to find singles. The views were breathtaking. The shower gave you enough pressure but wouldn’t stay warm long enough to get cleaned off. Spendy for the services you’re not receiving

First of all, I understand that price often reflects overall quality, so my expectations weren’t very high… But unfortunately, the stay still left a lot to be desired.
Although the kitchens were well-equipped, there were no cleaning products, sponges, or cloths available to wash them, and all the glasses had a slight smell. We also found a cockroach in the bathroom, which was very unpleasant.
One thing I really don’t understand: we were traveling as a group of 8. Six of us booked all-inclusive, and two were planning to upgrade on arrival. Because one of the six all-inclusive guests couldn’t make it, we kindly asked to simply update the name (the payment had already been made for the person who couldn’t come), so only one person would need to upgrade. The hotel wouldn’t lose anything, so it seemed like a win-win. But the lady at the reception refused, saying she didn’t trust us and believed the absent guest might still arrive. This was frustrating, especially as all payments had already been made upfront.
It was also very cold at night, and a heater would have been useful. Electrical plugs were coming out of the walls, which is a serious safety concern.
On the positive side, the location is good, and the rooms have nice, big balconies. The food was very average.
Overall, I would say it’s acceptable for a short stay, but there’s no chance for returning.

Stayed end of January, all inclusive. Excellent value for money and good location. The rooms are in need of updating but spacious and comfortable. Decent food and drink, do have to use same beaker(unhygienic and awkward) 3 pools with plenty loungers. Great views and a good amount of activities. I would've stayed here again but after requesting a top floor weeks previous only to be given a middle floor on arrival was really frustrating, especially when im the only one to make that request and the hotel wasn't full!!

Blue Sea is an uncomplicated hotel with huge apartments all with large veranda .
Although a little old fashioned , the rooms are serviced spotlessly regularly with no shortage of fresh towels.
The pools are so nice. We chose the large one as we like a good swim.
The bar served all day. San Miguel is the house beer & wine is like a mild pino.
The breakfasts are perfectly adequate with all the expected options. I recommend the lovely freshly cooked omelette.
lunch was very good each
Day with a wide choice. Dinner was similar but seemed less choice.
The staff are very friendly and quietly clear tables with a smile.
There are a couple of nice places to eat nearby.
Masala was very good.
I didn't like el delphin as its a bit clostophobic.
We mostly enjoyed the atmosphere of the malibu with live music.
Nice stroll to Laura's cafe is recommend for an excellent coffee under some gently tree shade .
