Don't pay for a burger and expect a steak. You get what you pay for but what I want spend time on is what you get that you don't expect.
The staff is great. Juan at the front desk is a proper host. Almost every night the hotel has a daytime activity, like games. At night, they have live entertainment that ranges from dancers to live singers. It blew my mind when I turned around and saw three beautiful flamingo dancers stomping and clapping about.
The location of this hotel is fantastic. You can walk everywhere. The rooms have charm. Parking is a mild inconvenience.
The food was the only thing we struggled with at times. Dark meats would be a little raw from the skillet at times so we stuck with the baked items and veggies. Overall a great place. We'd stay again.

Hotel overall is decent, rooms are very simple, the balcony and view of the pool is nice addition.
We purchased all inclusive and the selection of the food was amazing. Kudos to kitchen staff!
The location is not bad, only 5 mins away from the beach.
The cleaning staff stole money from our room, it was returned but left sour taste of the whole experience. Hotel did not do anything to compensate for the troubles and stress.
The safety box should be provided for free not for xtra money!

Back from a 4 night stay at vista blava.
Pros-
food was great, so much choice and well cooked.
Felt safe for children to wander a but as a nice small hotel
Location was an easy walk to the beach
Beds were comfy
Clean and tidy, as expected for the price
Cons-
The view- we looked onto the hostal calypso which was as ugly as hell, just unlucky with our roo. Maybe and a pool view would have been lovely.
Room/hotel facilities are basic, eg tv from 1990, no clothes horse to dry wet clothes, teeny bathroom with shower attachment that kept falling off etc
Some guests- cheap all inclusive brings out the worst in some, drinking all day which led to a visit from police on day 2 and a woman waking us on night 1 screaming for help which was obviously scary for me and my children. Seemingly toxic relationship and not the fault of the hotel.
Also there are lots of people smoking around the pool and even though it's outside, as a non smoker it can feel like you are inhaling it all day as beds are quite tight then you get to see them coughing all morning from smoking and drinking too much.
Also found one morning there were still discarded drinks and ashtrays from the night before still there at 10am which I thought wasn't great.
Overall though, we had low expectationsfor the price and for a cheap and cheerful short break we enjoyed ourselves.

Rooms are a bit dated and are in need of small repairs or upgrades. The room was clean for the most part.
The staff are lovely and helpful. Located within walking distance to the beach, shopping and restaurants.
I would recommend that if you are not a late night drinker that you reserve a room that is not poolside. It was very loud until the free drinks stopped flowing each evening.

Hello, me and my mum stayed at your hotel in Mallorca 17th-21st October, the first night we arrived my mum wasn’t happy about the bar closing at 12 and she had had a considerable amount to drink so was more then likely a bit sassy, however she was not served a drink and left as was, she shouldn’t have been sassy but she was drunk, happens all the time… Shortly after that she was outside smoking, and all of a sudden the bar manager came out and said “ I am off my shift now, lets go” trying to have a physical fight with my mum, my mum was confused and said what?, she then repeated that again and then a third time and as anyone would my mum stood up and the manager then went for her, there are witnesses who can vouch this Aswell. As I was asleep my mum couldn’t get into our room as we only had one key card, she was then refused a key card at reception leaving her nowhere to sleep the night, she then had to stay with some people she had met, this is awful as she was drunk and alone in a foreign country with no one to help her. That morning, I was looking for her and was sent on a wild goose chase by staff and only found her once she answered the phone, now looking back on this, this was spiteful. I am absolutely disgusted and appalled and will be leaving a bad review, we both then felt like staff where rude to us the rest of our stay, even though me myself was not involved, just because I was with her. Not only that but she told people that me and my mum were “bad people” and that she did not like us. We felt intimidated whenever she was around as she was giving us evil looks, this completely ruined our short trip, that I paid for as a birthday present for my mum, the way she was treated is quite frankly disgusting and I’m demanding some sort of compensation as this is awful! Her name was Mariella or Marbella.
