We booked a last minute break through Direct Holidays and wasn't sure what to expect as we'd read mixed reviews about the hotel. However, any negative comments, in my opinion are totally unfounded-particularly with regards to the food. It was delicious! And i have extremely high standards when it comes to eating out. Food A lot of the food is... more

If you're looking for a relaxing beach holiday for a reasonable price the Blau is for you. You'll get an amazing beach, a clean hotel with spotless grounds, nice staff and quiet evenings having a cocktail listening to music at the bar. Enjoy! Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any other questions. :) more

The hotel itself is very nice, clean and although looks a little weird from the outside it is spectacular inside. Check -in went very smoothly, staff ok - not over friendly - but not rude. Room was very spacious with a pool... more

I found the Blau after searching other hotel reviews where the reviewers mentioned they would have preferred to stay at the Blau - well done to all of them! When I viewed the pictures I was sceptical, to me it looked like a piece of eastern bloc architechture dropped in the sun. We travelled with Thompson and found the service... more

This hotel was good for the price we paid - and for Cuba. We have stayed in Cuba three times before in the past 6 years - and this was the best hotel to date. However, things are changing and I agree with some of the comments made by other posters. The public areas are great, the hotel looks good... more
