Blau Apartments

4 readers found this review helpful

Brilliant apartments with great security and fantastic location right in the centre, - you can see the beach from your room and the shopping area starts directly opposite you, with most of the clubs and bars over the road too. Spar supermarket directly underneath you. Theres a small swimming pool on the roof with gorgeous views and lots of sun loungers, every time i went up there was one free no matter what time it was. Reception staff were really friendly and when i complained about some stag weekend lads fighting on my floor they got it sorted straight away- no messing about! They check you in quickly and as its a pretty big building theres two lifts that were working fine each time we used them (we were on the top floor). The rooms are suprisingly big and the air con is very impressive! If you are going with 4 people, there is the sofa which converts into a very comfy bed and a pull out bed underneith it with legs that pull out underneath it so its usual bed height. There are also two beds in the bedroom which you can pull together or split up as you like. The wardrobes in the room are HUGE and more than enough room for everyone to keep their stuff. The balcony is a good size and fits a small table and two chairs on it nicely. You have to clean the room at the end and you are given a mop, bucket and sweeping brush. We spent about 4 hours REALLY cleaning ours but we got the impression afterwards that they were suprised about how much we'd done and maybe they just expected you to wash your pots and take your stuff out.

Apartments were nice, a bit cramped for 4 people, but can't complain.
They were clean when we arrived, but you have to clean them yourself before you leave, otherwise you dont get your 100 euro deposit back.
Most of the receptionists were nice, apart from one older man who made it quite clear he didn't want us there. When we asked for toilet roll, the other receptionists would give it us, but he rudely insisted we buy our own from the supermarket next door.
Clean towels were given regularly, but i don't see the point for so many maids when all they do is drop clean towels in your room, and inspect your room before you leave.
The location is brilliant, its right in the middle of the main nightlife strip,but no outside noise can be heard in the actual hotel.
Over the road, there is a club called londoners, where most tourists go, and we were in there for at least an hour every night, good music if you like hip-hop, r'n'b etc.
Near there in Aztek disco, which tends to be quiet, but has nice staff and cheap drinks. 2 sangrias for 4 euros.
ZOO and Club tropics are full of the spanish, but are good if you like a busy atmosphere, Tropics was brilliant.
Also there was a little cocktail bar on the beach which sells super duper duper cocktails for 18 euros, you must get one purely for the experience.
Orient express has nice food, although we ooked a table for 12 people n when we came back for our reservation, they sat us seperately.
Disaster cafe is well worth a trip, food is a bit expenisive, but definately worth the experience.
Theres one resaurant i dont know the name of, it has a big orange football above ther door, and it has lovely food at brilliant prices, a HUGE fillet steak and cheaps and half a roast chicken and chips came to 25 euros, with 3 drinks.
Over all it was a brilliant holiday, and were are wanting to return in the summer.

The best thing about Blau apartments was it's location. It's right next to the beach and close to the main strip of shops, bars and restaurants. The apartments itself were average - they were clean enough, spacious and comfortable.
When you check in, you do have to give a deposit per room, which although you get back at the end of your stay (unless you've lost or damaged anything), isn't much use if you're going straight to the airport. You also have to do a checklist to make sure you've got everything in your room - we were missing a kettle and although we asked for one, we never got it.
Fresh towels aren't given every day (we were only there for four days so I'm not sure how often they are given), and no one comes in to clean your apartment - you've got to clean it yourself before you leave. But as we weren't in the apartment that much, this wasn't too much of a problem.
The pool is on the roof, which sounds great, but it was very small and the sun loungers were scattered around. We didn't use the pool at all, especially because the beach was so close by.
We ended up paying extra to keep our room so that we could leave our luggage in our room - there are lockers which are quite big which can be used (2 euros every time you lock it) or you can store your luggage by the bins.
The members of staff were okay - some more friendly and helpful than others.
Overall, I'd say if you're used to 4/5* hotels then Blau apartments are not for you. But if you're looking for somewhere to stay primarily for a bed and shower (the shower by the way was really good - very powerful) and want to be in the centre of Lloret De Mar, then staying here would be quite handy.

Arrived to find very clean and spacious apartments. Apartments can hold up to 4, but as there were only 2 of us we had lots of space. (4 would be cramp). Service is an apartment poor, only got clean towels once in two weeks, and that is all room service consists of. (empty your own rubbish and mop and brush provided for you!) Pool area clean and plenty sunbeds, but pool itself a bit small - but what can you expect when it’s on the roof! Location is excellent, right on the strip, so central for nightlife, clubs and restaurants. But, only a short stroll to quieter bars - rooms are double glazed so are very quiet when door is shut. Less than 100 meters to beach.
Overall a superb holiday, well equipped apartments with the coldest fridge ever! Would highly recommend to anyone, but only for two not 4 people.
