TUI BLUE Playa Feliz

Wir haben drei Wochen lang Selbstversorgung geboten, das Apartment war sauber, es gab eine Grundausstattung zum Kochen, ein schönes Badezimmer mit heißem Wasser und das Apartment wurde an den meisten Tagen gereinigt und die Betten regelmäßig gewechselt. Der Pool war sauber und hatte viele Sonnenliegen und eine tolle Kaffeebar. Das Positive für uns war, dass wir, da wir bei Tui gebucht hatten, die Einrichtungen des TuiBlue Hotels nebenan nutzen konnten. Dieses war größer und hatte ein Fitnessstudio, ein Spa, eine größere Auswahl an Restaurants, die man nach Verbrauch bezahlen konnte, und das Essen war von guter Qualität und reichlich. Das Personal war immer hilfsbereit und freundlich und kümmerte sich schnell um den gelegentlichen Lärm spät in der Nacht. Es gab einige Supermärkte in der Nähe, die eine gute Auswahl an Lebensmitteln hatten.

Glutenfreies Essen war leicht verfügbar und viele Restaurants in der Gegend boten glutenfreie Gerichte an. Wir hatten eine gute Auswahl beim Frühstück, darunter auch Essen aus der Kinderabteilung. Nichts war dem Personal zu viel Mühe. Wir hatten einen familiären Notfall und das Personal half uns, Blumen zu organisieren. Der TUI-Vertreter erlaubte uns, zur Abholzeit auszuchecken und die Express-Sicherheitskontrolle am Flughafen ohne zusätzliche Kosten durchzuführen. Wir hatten ein 2-Zimmer-Apartment mit Meerblick von vorne und Bergblick von hinten, wir hatten zwei Terrassen. Das Apartment war sehr sauber, wir hatten All-Inclusive gebucht, aber die Einrichtungen waren für einen guten Selbstversorgerurlaub vorhanden. Wir hatten so eine schöne Zeit, dass wir für nächsten März wieder gebucht haben und können es kaum erwarten.

Die Kellner im Restaurant waren respektlos. Sie tun einfach so, als ob Sie etwas falsch machen würden. Keine klaren Anweisungen, was Sie zum Abendessen/Frühstück mit Ihrem Paket nehmen dürfen. Es kann sein, dass der Kellner Sie plötzlich auffordert, für die Cola/das Wasser zu zahlen, das Sie mitten beim Abendessen getrunken haben.

It was clean and quiet. Good beds,nice pools and wery friendly staff The gym classes was very great. Its near the beach. Close to restaurants and shops. The buss stop is near by,so its easy to go other plases. Its posible to order All inclusive at the hotel.

First of all, there was a lot of negativity for this hotel in reviews I read, this was concerning but don't let it put you off. We had a great time and the hotel is lovely. There are a lot of positives, but some things to be aware of before booking. The hotel is made up of 4 hotels, Playa Feliz, Tres Vidas, Las Pitas and then Orquidia. The Orquidia is the main hotel which has 2 large pools and a splash park for children and/or babies. It also has the entertainment which is indoors with a large stage, a bar and also a snack bar within. All of this is included in your inclusive stay at Playa Feliz. Tres Vidas and Las Pitas do not have their own pool and use the facilities at Orquidea - yes it does get busy there! However, Playa Feliz has it's own pool which opens at around 8.30 but there was one cleaner who was very strict about no one going on beds until 9am. But other than this, it is much more chilled and no mad rush for sunbeds, plenty of space and plenty of parasols (which are non-moveable). It also has it's own snack bar where you can get food, coffee, beer, soft drinks but additionally has a manned bar too. The snack bar offered limited choice of food and I would have liked to see them offer more simpler foods for the kids like nuggets, sausage, burgers. The food here is ok, it gets put out and regularly checked on, so is not amazing but ok for something quick to eat if you don't want to go elsewhere. We went to Orquidia, for the snack bar up there most days and this offered a lot more, freshly made chicken burgers, toasties etc. The accomodation at the Playa Feliz was lovely, rooms 1-40 are ground level appartments and are very close to the pool (I mean the front door to the pool edge was 10-15metres away), this was great as we could pop back and fore so easily whenever we needed to. The rooms were lovely and clean, Aircon worked well. The room had 2 single beds pushed together in the back bedroom and then the (large) couch had a slide out bed underneath it. Kitchen had a fridge, microwave and cupboards filled with plates and cutlery etc - everything you may need. Rooms were cleaned every other day unless asked but when we did ask, it was no problem at all and the job they did cleaning was very good. I did notice that the Playa Feliz is made up of about 200 apartments, not all of these are holidaymakers, there are quite a few privately owned it seemed, no issues with this but something I have never seen before ina TUI blue resort. The hotel had low key entertainment in the day but there were things going on. This included water polo, character poolside walks, water aerobics and Aqua board yoga which is a lot more fun to watch than it is to do! There was also a lot going on in the Orquidia but the pools were much busier. The was a foam party which we went to and it was great fun. TIP: Download the TUI Blue app, on there you can find out the full entertainment schedule in both the Playa Feliz and Orquidia. The main Orquidia hot

Our stay was on a bed and breakfast basis. The buffet breakfast options seemed endless and all items were well-presented. We were more than happy with the choices. Our ground floor apartment faced the sea, almost due east, and it was a treat to witness the sun appearing on the horizon each morning. We booked our holiday with Tui. The hotel seems to attract guests from several countries including Germany, Norway, Sweden, The Netherlands and the UK. The swimming pool was large and not overcrowded. Popular with both children and adults. There was a separate, shallow pool for the smallest children. The water was clean and warm The pool surrounds were frequently cleaned. There are several medium sized supermarkets next to the complex where we could buy all we needed for a picnic lunch or a full meal. For an evening meal there was a choice of at least 4 good restaurants just 3 minutes walk from our apartment, all serving a wide ranging menu with food at reasonable prices. Cooking facilities in the apartment were on the basic side but sufficient for us when we chose to eat in. San Augustin is a short bus ride to the south where the large shopping complex has many more eating places. Buses going both north and south can be boarded at bus stops just outside the complex. We found it easy to get to San Augustin, Faro de Maspalomas, Puerto Rico, Puerto de Mogan and Aguimes. There are also buses to the airport and to Las Palmas. A very useful app, Guaguas Global, makes journey planning easy and the costs seem very reasonable. We are a retired couple travelling alone. Many of the guests were parents or grandparents with young children. Although we were delighted to see the young ones enjoying their holiday the breakfast room was sometimes quite noisy. Although we had a lovely week at Grupotel Playa Feliz we think that in future we will opt for an adults-only holiday.
