Caletón Blanco Tours

This was the first time we’ve done all-inclusive and we were pleasantly surprised. We had a room with a double bed and a single bed. The double bed was really comfy. The single bed was pretty hard and not comfy but it was fine for my daughter. The room was clean and pleasant. The breakfasts were really good- loads of options to suit all tastes. The lunches and dinners also had a lot to choose from. I wouldn’t say the food was gourmet but some really decent options and we always enjoyed them. We went in June so it wasn’t busy and we always got a table straight away. We were really impressed with the evening entertainment - some really impressive acts. The surrounding area itself was fine- typical seaside shops. We didn’t really spend much time there and chose to explore the island. Overall a really nice experience.

This is a beautiful hotel. We were very lucky to get an upgrade and the suite was spacious with a wonderful view overlooking the ocean. Only downside for us was the size of the hotel. We prefer smaller, boutique type hotels and this hotel is quit large. There is also limited places to eat (only one dining room) unless you want to walk to the nearby wharf.

The Location is placed very near to all amenities although if you didn’t know the area, it would not instantly seem so and you have to walk around the perimeter of the complex to get to the main street as there is no gate cut-through. For expediency I have bullet pointed the positives and the negatives and score at the end. Negatives; • No Washing machine. • Very basic cooking facilities i.e. Microwave & Electric Hob. • No broom or dustpan and brush or pegs to hang washing. • No iron without payment. • No water in fridge or any complimentary coffee/tea on arrival in apartment. • No pool towels, additional door key for each occupier, Room Safe access, Air con/ TV remote without payment or deposit and must be in cash. • TV is basic and had cobwebs behind. Unable to plug i.e. a fire stick in as only one socket for the TV. • Poor or no night entertainment. • No communal feel around bar area. • Towels not all changed. Positives; • Has three pools & play areas for kids if you have them. • Has a little shop in complex for fresh bread, milk, drinks and the other basics. • Reception open 24/7 • Astro turf 5- a- side Football pitch and Tennis court. • Gym/Indoor Pool & Sauna although not really used by anyone while we were there. • New Aldi supermarket about 10 minute walks away. • Comfortable apartment for short stay only. Air con in bedroom only. • Comfortable beds. Compare to other surrounding apartments we have stayed in before in this area, it’s quite poor. 6/10
