Blau Colonial Hotel

Just come back from 2 weeks at the Blau. We stayed in the main hotel and the room was spacious and clean with plenty of hot water. Food not very good except for the beach bar-b-que at lunch times, that was excellent. Staff were very friendly and the beach a dream. The... more

I had been to Cuba 14 years previously, though went to Santa Lucia as a young and in love couple and did the tours from the middle to the south of the island. This time, went with a 7 year old in tow, so thought we would go for the security of the Cayos as you do not get... more

We were really pleased with the price - perfect for a last minute deal in the sun, particularly for all inclusive. The staff were really friendly, particularly the barman "Junior" in the bar above the lake (affectionately called "the swamp"). The beach was good - and we did... more

GO GO GO TO THIS HOTEL. We were a party of nine ages from 55 to 3, we had three rooms all on different levels and each room was perfect, maid services excellent and the pool was just outside our doors. The pool, yes a bit tatty but in temps of 100f skin peels let alone... more

The biggest disappointment about this hotel was the food. It was constantly cold and inedible. The mashed potato was powdered and made with cold water (which inevitably had lumps in it). On more than one occasion the burners had gone out under the food, the staff just... more
