“Fantastic staff at a well-run hotel.”

We’ve just enjoyed a week at this hotel. It’s in a good location, at the very edge of Santo Tomás and a few paces from the sea. It is a very well-run and efficient place. We had a suite, which was very spacious and comfortable. The standard of cleanliness was excellent. We don't use hotel pools, instead we based ourselves on a large lawned area which was peaceful and relaxing. The quality of the food is good. We’re old folk who much prefer a la carte dining in the evenings than the hurly burly of a buffet, but the hotel looked tempting and so we gave it a try. There is a once-a-week option of dining on the rooftop and it was very good indeed. We used the snack bar most lunchtimes, run by the excellent Wamba. The staff members throughout the hotel are fantastic. They are all helpful, fun and friendly. In fact, we consider them the best we have encountered anywhere. (Five stars to Jessica and Sami at the bar) One thing we disliked — and others may have a different opinion — was that a few people just wore a bathing costume at lunchtime in the snack bar. Bare bellies in a dining room is not a good look and disrespectful to others. A dress code needs to be enforced. Just put on a T-shirt. In summary, we cannot fault the hotel or its staff. We had a great week in a nice location. Younger people will likely have a different perspective to us. If the hotel had a more tranquil dining option for the evenings — as many now do — we would definitely return. And perhaps we will anyway.

“Wonderful return visit!”

Once again we had an amazing stay at TUI Blue Victoria. We have been visiting the hotel for the last 28 years & have seen many changes over the years! Definitely for the best now it is adults only.

Once again we had an amazing stay at TUI Blue Victoria. We have been visiting the hotel for the last 28 years & have seen many changes over the years! Definitely for the best now it is adults only. We have made many friends ( some who still work there) over our visits & feel many are like family. The hotel is amazing, the staff are so friendly & nothing is too much trouble. From checking in to checking out, it was fabulous! Big shout out to Jamie on reception, Nicolas in the restaurant, Wamba in the bar & Ramadan on night duties. Also to every other member of staff who work so hard to make your holiday special, they always have a smile & a hola! The hotel is so clean, everywhere is spotless, the food is beautiful & so many choices at every meal. The culinarium restaurant on the roof is a special evening, which if all inclusive you get to visit once while your there. The food, service & sunsets are something special. We love the choice of outside dining for breakfast & evening meal. The entertainment team work hard doing the daily activities etc. The evening entertainment had a good mix of acts over the week. There are always plenty of sunbeds available, no mad rush on a morning & a choice of around the pool or in the garden area. The beach is a stones throw from the garden, so lovely to have both options for a cooling dip. We cannot fault the hotel & the amazing staff, we have already booked for our 29th visit next year!! See you all there😎

Big queue on arrival for check in but it moved quickly. Glass of cava whilst waiting. Rooms were ready do went straight up. Pool towels vollect from reception when you check in. Pool area ok. Lots of sunbeds around. Just grab them from the piles. Space on the grass area if Pool area was busy. Now it states Pool area open at 10 and no reserving sunbeds. This is not the case. Beds were being reserved as per the norm from around 8am. Some just can't break that habit but there are beds available up to around 10.30am. It is adults only and there really is no need to rush about. Just chill. Lots of parasols around for shade. Pool was warm and so was the sea. But there are some showers if you really want to cool down. Pool on roof terrace but we never used this. Also some beds up there and of course the chargable day beds are there by both Pool areas. Sea access via gate near grassy area. Wear shoes Just because the floor is hot. There are some stone but just walk 50 paces and its beautifully sandy. Crystal clear water. Room was a good size we had a corner room 217. There is not a lot of surface space and I took my own hangers. Air con was good and a decent hairdryer also.Fridge was stocked with water etc. I never use tea or coffee etc. Just don't like it. Room cleaned everyday. Drinks are ok on all inclusive. Just their own branded spirits etc but just check the drinks menu it tells you all you need to know. Snack bar was good. It was used lots by guests. Buffet restaurant. Now it was ok and we did eat there but it just doesn't do it for me. I'm sorry just my personal opinion. Seemed a bit samey or confusing. Not where you expect to find things. I rarely ate a hot evening meal in there but who I travelled with did. A la carte was mediocre. Too hot to eat on the roof also. I didn't eat my main or dessert. It can't decide if its Italian English Imfian or Chinese food. You can literally pick from the choices above for each course! Now what makes this hotel stand out from many others is the staff. Yes they are the best we have ever seen. They are happy,polite, kind and patient all the time. The pool bar staff could literally make your holiday. Outstanding team. I wouldn't return but I never stsy anywhere twice. This hotel is relaxation orientated so if you want quiet downtime it is perfect. Lots of activities going on but not pressured into joining. Evening entertainment was ok Best was motown night and ABBA were pretty good.

“Mini adults only break”

This was our first stay in a TUI blue hotel and was a very nice stay for 4 nights. We were greeted warmly with a glass of cava. The rooms weren’t ready but we did arrive at 11am.

This was our first stay in a TUI blue hotel and was a very nice stay for 4 nights. We were greeted warmly with a glass of cava. The rooms weren’t ready but we did arrive at 11am. We were asked to return at 12 noon, the staff turned the room quick so we could start our vacation. We were in room 109, double bed with a partial ocean view. Nice clean room with a great shower. There was hand soap,shower gel and shampoo provided. There was a fridge with a bottle of pink cava, 2 beers, 4 bottle of pop and 2 bottles of water. This was replenished every day apart from the cava. There was a kettle with tea and coffee. Beach towels were also provided from reception. We stayed on an all inclusive basis. Only one al a carte per stay. The food was nice, there were 3 choices for each course. The buffet…. Breakfast had an egg station, boiled, poached, fried or omelettes. Plenty of of fruits, pastries, cereal, meats and cheese. All very fresh and replenished quickly. Buffet lunch again was fresh and replenished quickly lots of salad choices, meats cheese, breads, fish, cooked meats and desserts. Snack bar lunch, this was ordered from a menu. Plenty of choices from ceasar salad, pasta dishes or chicken wings. All cooked fresh to order. Buffet dinner, again lots of breads, meats, cheese, soup, cooked meat, pasta and cooking stations. Good choice of desserts and fruits. Drinks. The house wines were good, sangria nice, could have by the glass or order a jug to share. Only had one cocktail a Singapore sling which was ok, I just find them too sweet for me. The only other we had was the house brandy, again it was fine. Staff…. The staff here were friendly and attentive. It was nice to see the staff not ran off their feet. The tall guy that works the rooftop terrance was really nice, he remember our after dinner coffee and brandy order. We didn’t participate in any of the activities but again the staff weee friendly and guest praised the stretch and yogi classes. Pools, cleans but warm with the 35 degree weather. The guy that tidied the beds in the evening did a great job. Plenty of umbrellas too. There is access to the beach via the gate at then end of the hotel. Not sunbed unless you hired them privately. The beach itself was soft sand and calm waters. We would definitely go again for a mini break.
