Blau Punta Reina

This is the only hotel I have revisited. The first time was 7 years ago as a family of 4. This time was as a family of 4 but with my 2 sisters and their families. The upgrades they have made are very impressive. The hotel looks so much more modern and there is even more room than before. We arrived really early and they were good enough to issue us with AI bands so we could have lunch. One of the rooms was ready so we put all our luggage into it and we were able to take advantage of the facilities. I was really pleased with our rooms -E742 and E745- as they had great views over the sea. I filled in a survey to sign up for the WiFi and mentioned it would be good to have tea and coffee making facilities in the room. The next day they delivered a kettle, coffee maker and tea & coffee. I also mentioned to reception that we had no shower gel and all the toiletries were delivered to our room by the time we returned. Service like this is so impressive. There are 3 main pools, 2 with kids shallow pools attached. There were always loungers available, but if you are very late then you are pretty much guaranteed a lounger at the quiet pool. There are 2 beaches within walking distance but the hotel does a shuttle bus if you have young children or lots to carry. Both beaches are tremendous. 2 loungers and an umbrella costs €15 but there is lots of space for your mats on the beach. There is practically no shade though so buy a beach umbrella from the local shop (€10). Like my last visit, the only thing I missed was a nice town to wander round. There are a few cafes and bars down the hill but if you want a town you need to go to Porto Cristo which is 20 mins away by bus or resort train (there is a stop for both just outside the hotel). All in all, I think this hotel is fantastic for couples and families. Plenty of different areas for food and drink, the food is amazing and varied, and the staff are so helpful. They are aware of sustainability too -no single use plastics and durable paper straws. They know what to do to make their customers happy. I joined Blau Amigo and booked direct with the hotel. I saved money and also got a late checkout.

Huge resort. So much to do! The pool areas are large and you can always be guaranteed a sunbed. It did smell of drains from time to time. Rooms are average. We were in the N block near the playground. Nothing special. Beach is a nightmare to get to and not pushchair friendly so very difficult with a baby. Beach area is lovely though, although I do prefer a long stretch of beach than a cove as it felt quite crowded. The tokens to get your cups is an inconvenience and you won’t be served a drink if you forget your cup, with a baby and toddler this was so frustrating as from time to time we were forgetful but we had too much going on like remembering to pack the beach bag, nappies, suncream etc and it’s not a quick walk back to the room especially in the heat. Breakfast was quite disappointing, scrambled egg were undercooked, fried eggs were snotty and the bacon was like ham (I prefer crispy) chef was happy to flip my eggs so not a huge problem. Breakfast and dinner is so so busy it’s not enjoyable and relaxing as it should be too much noise and bumping into eachother. Dinner choices are great though, really enjoyed my evening meals. Entertainment team was amazing, the lion king and Disney show were fabulous and they all work so hard! My daughter loved it. Shout out to Yago (I hope his is correct) the waiter, he was so lovely and cared about his customers. He really stood out to us. Not much to do outside the hotel but can’t complain as we chose to stay in a huge inclusive resort so we expected to not have anywhere to go for a walk etc. Overall a nice hotel but too big and too busy for us. Fabulous for kids but as a family we will pick somewhere smaller and quieter but I would still recommend this hotel.

Hotel with many beautiful white houses overlooking the sea. Despite having many rooms, in the restaurants you don't perceive the quantity of people present and the food is good. Services for all ages, excellent but not invasive entertainment. Crystal clear sea in the two nearby beaches. I recommend it especially for families

Great hotel with great facilities, breathtaking views and excellent animation team. Recommend for families and couples. Located between 2 beaches and 10min from Porto Cristo has everything for everyone. Shoot out to animators Fernanda, Nelson, Pepe, Marnix and Anas

Really nice hotel, nice staff, good entertainment team, nice beaches either side of hotel. Only down side is a lack of outside bars and restaurants.

Great hotel for families. Plenty of activities, lovely and varied food and beautiful location.
