Blue Sea Callao Garden Apartments
Callao Salvaje, Tenerife

Mrs K Goldsmith, Oxted

Very tired looking hotel. One pool bar was closed and looked as though it had been for some time. Fan in room had the light on all the time so you couldn't use it at night. The meter system to use TV was just ridiculous considering there was only 2 UK channels. The wifi was virtually non existent and the buffet extremely limited.

Mrs M Riley, Chester Le Street

Apartment fantastic lovely and big, staff great, pools lovely but not the meals. Food done in sauces and not much choice. We had breakfast only and had to go out for other meals so cost us a lot more. Not hot enough and with it just being a small resort not many places to have meals at and that also means having to buy drinks so we were paying 70/80 euro a day for food and drinks.

Mrs D Rose, Sheffield

Initial apartment was ok. Clean and comfortable if a little shabby. The ceiling sprang a leak and we were moved promptly and given an upgrade to a beautiful newly refurbished apartment. Staff lovely. Food and drink basic but fine. Entertainment could be better.

Mr R Gill, Brierley Hill

Clean but dated.

Mr M Loney, Millom

Great room, very nice staff who looked after us very well.

Mr R Ravenhill, Bideford

They say you only get what you pay for, with Blue Sea Callao Gardens, you leave having felt you've actually had more. This was our 3rd visit and will come again. The apartments are basic and it's definitely hilly. However, the staff are friendly, and the choice of food is good, something for everyone.

Mr W Russell, Dunbar

Room was nice size towels changed every second day. Food at the hotel was fine, Xmas dinner was very good and well done to the staff for good service.

Mr C Fieldstead, Canvey Island

Rooms a good size but bit dated. Lots of steps so not for elderly or not good mobility. Food was ok but more to Spanish tastes but expect that on holiday. Pools good but only one bar and again, if at lower pool, a long trek to get a drink. Staff overall good except for Carmen at main desk who was as unhelpful a person as I have ever met. Town is quiet but shops, bars etc ok. Costa Adeje is 20 minutes or so on bus or 10 in taxi around 15 euros. Overall hotel ok but could be better with a few improvements. Would go for a hotel in Costa Adeje next time.

Mr F Crespo, Bournemouth

All good. Good breakfast, clean, comfy beds and good pools. Very good location if you have car!

Mrs J Marsh, Bexhill-on-sea

The staff were very friendly and they kept the apartment very clean. We had the bed changed twice and clean towels every other day.

Mr M Loney, Millom

Love it. Staff great.

Mr M Reed, Hyde

The apartment was good value for money although a bit tired looking.We had pool and sea view.

Mr D Cooksey, Wigan

The hotel in general is very dated, broken tiles and tiles falling off the walls. The rendering both inside and outside the rooms falling off. Mildew on the shower curtains. The food when it was warm was ok, evening meals being very questionable. No snacks available just 3 set meal times. The majority of staff tried their best and always had a smile. The daytime entertainment was poor, never announced and most of the time just didn't happen. The evening they tried but the guitar vocalist was painful. One way of saving money on all inclusive.

Ms R Behm, London

The apartment was clean, roomy, with a great view to the sea even though we were on ground level. Our baby had a cot to sleep in, the kitchen was well equipped and the location was great with only couple of minutes walk to the shops and restaurants. The bed wasn't the most comfortable and walking around the resort to the pools etc can be a mission, and it is on a steep hill but we didn't find that a problem. All in all a great value apartments.

Mrs K Cunningham, Glasgow

Food was ok.

Miss B Muller, Witney

As a group of 5 just wanting a quiet holiday in the sun, Blue Sea Callao Gardens was just what we needed. The positives: Large modern and clean apartments, cleaner came 3 times in 7 days with towels and bedding; restaurant large and airy with a great choice of food; self service drink at restaurant and bar (no queuing); plenty of sunbeds and umbrellas, large pool areas, stunning views and garden areas. Negatives: Steps! Will definitely be returning but will be requesting a room in either the Dahlias or Aldefas blocks.

Mr H Pippen, Bargoed

Apartment was a large one bedroom unit, although we were all inclusive it contained everything you would need if you were self catering, large fridge freezer, microwave oven, toaster, coffee maker and also a full size iron and ironing board which we found very useful. We also had a flat screen tv which we only used once as the only English channels were the news channels, this had a pay as you go slot machine at 1 euro an hour, problem was if you watched it for any amount of time and knocked the tv off the credit in the box would keep going until it was used up. This we feel needs to be addressed. Room was clean and the maids came in at least every other day. The hotel had three pools although the one mostly favoured was near the restaurant along with the free bar. The all inclusive package was good, food was good but did not include snacks between meals, drinks was on a serve yourself basis, there were pumps for beer, red and white wine, sangria, soft drinks but any spirits you had to get from the attended bar. Sun beds were not a problem but you still got the early risers who booked the beds with their towels despite signs from the management warning that the towels would be removed. Staff always seemed pleasant and more than willing to help if you had any problems. This is a family friendly hotel but as the hotel is situated on a hillside, if you were staying up near reception with children I would not like to carry infants or push a pram up and down to the restaurant We were lucky with the location of our room as we had both a great sea and land view (266).

Mrs C Bailey, London

Lovely apartments, very spacious, lots of stairs though. Loved the area was very quiet and relaxing, just what we wanted.

Mr M Alam, Leeds

We stayed here for 2 weeks. It was a nice resort just too many hills and stairs. Staff were very friendly thought the room was definitely very good. We stayed in room 228 Camilas block and there was a beautiful view of the sea. The food was ok as we were all inclusive. There are four pools at this resort and we stayed mainly at the top pool which was a lot quieter than near the bar. Pool was nice and relaxing. The location is a quiet area. There is also a little black sand beach near the hotel with a bar called Sansibar where the food was nice and the lounger on the beach had a buzzer so you could order what you want and they bring it to you. It was nice friendly service so yes I would recommend if you want a quiet break in the sun, this is the place peeps.

Mr A Fomin, Tallinn

Clean rooms, great view, many swimming pools. It's good value for money, very good staff and green areas.
