TUI BLUE Playa Feliz

We stayed for 3 weeks self catering , the apartment was clean, it had basic cooking equipment, nice bathroom with hot water on top, and the apartment was cleaned most days a d beds changed regularly. Pool was clean and has plenty of sunbeds and a great coffee bar. The positives for us were as we booked with Tui we could use the facilities of the TuiBlue Hotel next door this was bigger and had a gym, spa a bigger selection of restaurants that you could use pay as you go and the food was of a good standard and plenty of it. Staff were always helpful and friendly and dealt quickly with the occasional late night noise. Some supermarkets locally that stocked a good range of food.

Lovely side hotel connecting with the main hotel Orquidea Arrived late in the evening and was greeted with milk sandwiches fruit etc for our 2 young children which was lovely. We stayed in room 36 which was perfect a stone throw away from the pool and breakfast area, we stayed all inclusive Room - spacious plenty of storage space kitchenette lounge double bed and a pull out bed, very clean, shower was lovely and hot (English TV) which was great too! Pool - lovely little shaded pool for little ones and large pool for other very clean 👌 This hotel is connected to the main hotel therefore for lunch and dinner also entertainmemt we had to go there but its just a short walk through a lane and the hotel Orquidea is outstanding!!! Everything you need for little ones parks, TUI staff, games, x3 pools just wow kids will not get bored... the daily kids programme is amazing hotel is beautiful food is delicious too... There was only 1 small thing that in my opinion was a little let down and that was this hotel does NOT have a beach, its states beach but its not great for kids its pebbly and very little sand you cannot go in the sea with children as it very dangerous so if you like a beach then this hotel does not have one suitable for children, we took a taxi to San Antigua which was black sand very hot and again not suitable for children which we were gutted but outer children were entertained with the facilities within the hotel. Lovely place if you want the children to be entertained all day, very clean and food was lovely well done TUI Blu you have a wonderful place and we will see you soon Dan, Kel and the girls x

Gluten Free food was readily available, andnplenty of resturants in the area catered Gluten free. we had a good selection at breakfast with eating from the kids section, nothing was to much trouble for the staff, we had a family emergency and the staff helped organise flowers and the TUI rep allowed us to check out at pick up time and express security at the airport at no extra cost. We had a 2 bedroom apartment with sea views out the front and a mountain view out the back, we had two terraces. The apartment was very clean, we went all inclusive but the facilities were there for a good self catering holiday. We had such a good time we have booked to come back next March and can't wait.

This was our second time in Playa Feliz, third time in Blue hotel Bahia Feliz area. If you stay here for the very first time, it will be a good experience. But if you have had a vacation previosly, it is not the same it used to be. All Inclusive is still great. Lots of great food, lots of drinks to choose. Staff is very friendly. It is small things and nickle and diming that make the difference. There are still yoga, hiit etc classes every day. Previously they used to be Les Mills classes, and there were a couple of different every day. There is still beach volley. Befor it was ok to continue playing, but now staff took the ball away after 60 minutes because a ”company policy”. You can’t borrow a ball -anymore, you have to buy or rent it. If you want to go play some basketball -you have to rent a whole sports court. Do I have to say sports court stayed empty all the time? Do we come back fourth time? Probably not. But it is still a good choise to have a relaxing holiday. Notice there is nothing much outside the hotel area. Only a couple of shops and a few restaurants. So if you don’t like just staying in hotel area, you might want to rent a car and explore the island.

2nd year staying at playa feliz, after 3 years of staying at orquidea. 2 bed apartment with sea view! Amazing! Apartment was excellent. Fully equipped and modern. Short walk from the pool with a sea view as requested. Maids excellent. Any issues were dealt with quickly. Ants and cockroach issue but as soon I called to reception, maintenance and maids arrived to sort! We use playa feliz pool everyday as we have 2 children with additional needs. These hotels are amazing with young people with additional needs! Food as always was fantastic at both orquidea and playa Entertainment as always excellent and staff are so friendly. Pepe on the bar is an absolute legend! Kids club staff are incredible. Jade, Vilma, Elsa, Charlie and Marie need a special mention! Already booked for next October again. Thanks to David and Carlos at playa and Ulrica at orquidea. See you all next year

We stayed at Playa Feliz for a week all inclusive in July as at moly of 5, 2 adults an 11 year old and 7 year old twins. I would say Playa Feliz on it own is not 4* but with the ability to use everything at Orquidea next door it does live up to that rating. We were initially in the wrong apartment for two days, we were eventually moved to what we had booked and paid for. Both apartments were clean and comfortable, air conditioning isn’t throughout the apartments but did a not bad job at keeping the rooms cool. It was over 42 degrees at one point so air conditioning was needed! There were a few cockroaches, we were all inclusive so didn’t have any food in our kitchen - I’m guessing it would have been much worse if we had. The complex is in a beautiful setting, we found it quite quiet at Playa Feliz with lovely views. It’s just a short walk to Orquedia, where the bigger restaurant, more pools and main entertainment is. We never had an issue getting sun beds, we were ready to sit in the sun after breakfast (10/10:30) and always found somewhere to sit over looking the sea. Playa Feliz was not as crowded. It was lovely to have a choice of which pools to go to. Orquedia pools were super busy but great fun for the kids. There was plenty of entertainment around the pools for all ages. Kids club was fab, our children had a great time. There was so much choice of things for the kids to do. The entertainment staff were brilliant, so so enthusiastic and really talented too. The two I remember the names of were Pippa and Jaoquin - there was a girl who sang Dolly Parton songs one night who was an amazing singer too. All the TUI staff made such a fuss of the kids to make their holidays special, thank you. The foam party and beach party were brilliant, such lovely memories to have. The food was good, enough choice - pretty typical all inclusive food. The staff did struggle to keep up with demand at busy times, there weren’t always tables available immediately, it took a while for tables to be cleared and popular dishes to be topped up but we didn’t mind so much as we weren’t in a rush. I would have liked waffles at breakfast more often! (They were amazing) All the hotel staff apart from 1 TUI rep were lovely, all smiley and happy to say hi in the passing. On our 5th night my youngest daughter was sick all night, she was absolutely devastated to be unwell but to miss out on the end of her holiday while she recovered. The next night my son was sick too. I asked for the apartment to be cleaned and clean bed linen, they didn’t really clean as much I as I would have liked so I bought stuff from the Spar and did it myself. I went to the chemist across from Orquedia to see what I could buy to help them recover. The women working there said that a lot of people had reported being unwell with sickness. I don’t think it was the food as my other daughter had eaten the same. I reported the illness to TUI. I overheard a conversation at reception (Orquedia)ab
