Bluesea Es Bolero

We stayed at Blue Sea es Bolero this past June and had an incredible time, I wanted to write a detailed review as some of the reviews I have seen on here are very harsh and inaccurate. The hotel itself is lovely, very spacious with three pools, a tennis and football court and lots of seating around the entertainment. The entertainment was great too, we joined in with the kids disco it was better than the clubs to be honest . The acts were great too, with shows such as The Lion King and people eating fire and cover bands which we really enjoyed. The pools went very deep (I could not touch the floor and I am 5'11) but also had shallow ends for children. We liked this as it meant we were allowed to jump and dive into the pool. We went all inclusive, in which you have pay €1 for a reusable cup (which is switched for a fresh one with each drink) but keep your eye on that cup as we left ours on our table whilst we went to the toilet and they were gone when we came back. We asked the staff for new ones and despite recognising us and knowing that we previously had cups we had to buy another four to replace them. The staff will practically make any drink even beyond the all inclusive menu, we were drinking makeshift tequila sunrises and blue lagoons as they have all the ingredients it just isn't on the menu and you have to ask them for the specific ingredients (e.g. tequila & orange juice with a splash of grenadine = tequila sunrise). The food is very varied and has lots of different options every night but not so great for fussy eaters aside from chips. It is also not very clearly labelled for dietary requirements as a dish labelled as "four cheese pasta" turned out to contain beef and pork (which was not such a great discovery as a vegetarian ) but the staff will happily let you know what contains what if you ask. Whilst you do have to pay for ice cream outside by the bar, there is a soft serve ice cream machine with the dessert table during lunch and dinner. Lots of reviews talk about the lack of sunbeds but we found that there were always enough for all four of us to sit together even at around 9am-10am, but this may be because we came before the school holidays started. Our room was a little bit dated in its decor but clean and cosy along with a small balcony attached to the room. The bolero "section" has a little separate terrace away from the main amenities with tables and chairs that was nice to sit and play card games out on. There were quite a few ants on our balcony (that made themselves at home in our swimming costumes and towels that were out there to dry ) but we didn't see many down by the pool, maybe one or two. The nearest beach and the town are a five minute walk away from the hotel which is very handy. The beach seemed to have lots of bits of plastic floating around but there was a cool rock to jump into the sea from, but humans did that to themselves really - stop littering the oceans and that won't be a problem I suppose. The town is

Stay would have been 3 stars if not for a couple issues with the room. As some other reviews say, ALL the water in the hotel is salt water. This makes showering and brushing your teeth a bit uncomfortable. Something else we noticed is the all inclusive bar serves drinks with salt water ice cubes, the all inclusive was useful for the food options but there isn’t a great deal of choice for drinks eg. They only carry one beer (San Miguel). Unfortunately our room did become overran with ants in the kitchen coming in through the edge of the hob, you must be careful to not leave any food or drinks out at all as they will swarm for a single crumb. Other than this, the pools were great and 24hr reception very useful. There are a few great beaches nearby also.

Stayed here for 4 nights 12 May Loveley clean hotel rooms are spacious and clean we had a ground floor appartment which was right next to pool..i found all staff friendly and helpful i can't comment on the food as we ate out we were SC...short walk to cala egos which there are plenty of bars and restaurants (tiki bar do lovely cocktails) a nice stroll to the harbour and into cala dor town plush there is a lovely little beach with a beach bar 5 minutes away from hotel

Furthermore to my last review. Don’t complain about the hotel! To anybody! Even when you’ve had your money stolen. They call the police and evict you. We’ve had to go to another hotel in another part of Majorca because they didn’t want to hear our complaint. I would definitely avoid this hotel. I wouldn’t even rate it 1 star. The receptionist and manager are absolutely useless.

Twice now I have stayed here we love it going back October for our 3rd visit. You feel welcome from the time you get there staff very helpful and go above and beyond to help. Rooms are always clean entertainment staff remember us to they make us laugh 24 /7. It's like going home love the place. Can't wait to see you all October Lisa

Nice cheap getaway in a really good location, lots of shops and things to do, there is a train/bus or Ting Ting as we call it that takes you into Cala D’Or which I really recommend but the €5 ‘return’ route is in fact not return, save yourself money and get the €3.50 each way Bolero is the cheaper side so we wasn’t expecting amazing but the showers are awful, you either get boiling hot or freezing cold, no in between so if you’re staying here use the shower next to the gym!! 100x better than the showers in the apartment, got all you need here for all ages, good entertainment, food is what you expect for what you pay, no one would go hungry. I would stay here again if they fix the shower issue
