" WOW what a great hotel. When me and... "
Submitted By: The Bear
WOW what a great hotel. When me and my partner book this hotel we had checked all the reviews out so we expected great things, and we wasn`t disapointed. The whole hotel is very clean, the rooms are quite big and very nice,(with a gift left in your room on arrivel). The pool area is fantastic, there is a small childrens pool (heated) a medium pool (heated) and a big pool (not heated). There was no problem getting a sunbed either. Now to the food, that too was very very good, but be prepared to put weight on. Alot of choice and cooked and prepared very well, we went for two weeks and didn`t get bored with the food at all. The staff in the hotel are the most pleasant and helpful people i`ve met on my travels. The entertainment crew were new and although they had only been there a few weeks managed to put some fantastic shows on, so a special hello to Bart and Jordie. This hotel goes that extra mile to make your holiday special which is good because the resort is very quiet, but if you like quiet then you won`t mind.

The real disappointment with the hotel however was the food. We stayed on a half-board basis and this is something that I regret with hindsight. The food is served in a buffet style and the quality was equivalent to something you would expect in a 2-star all-inclusive resort (reminiscent of school dinners!) Whilst there was a broad range of options at every meal, many of these were over-cooked and/or poorly conceived. I am a vegetarian and my options were very limited. After 3 nights I requested that the chef (although I doubt they had one) made some main dishes suitable for vegetarians. Sadly the duty manager spent 5 minutes trying to suggest that since I had not complained on the first night the food must be alright. Eventually they accepted my point and agreed to make some vegetarian dishes. The following night the served spanish omelette or pasta with a vegetarian sauce. I had the omelette, which was nice. The night after that they served the same pasta with sauce from the night before, but no omelette. I had this and the sauce turned out to be cream of tomato soup or something similar. Very disappointing! My son is a meat eater and so was able to try everything on offer. He loves his food and has dined far and wide and he shared my view that the food was poor.
On the basis of the above I would recommend the Bluebay Palace for a holiday if you want the facilities of a hotel whilst away, but on a bed and breakfast basis only. There is an ample selection of restaurants, cafes and "pubs" to choose from in Corralejo and I can't imagine many of them could do much worse than the Bluebay Palace at food preparation.
Advice: Quiet town suitable for a relaxed beach holiday.
