The Grand Blue Sky International - All Inclusive

Havibg read the previous reviews of the hotel i was very apprehensive about our stay, the reviews in my opinion are not representative of the hotel at all. Location is 10/10, with sunset and overlooking the water. Amenities are very good as are the staff. Room are good, no issue at all and lots of space. Good is tasty albeit it can be repetitive if staying for a week. Beach has a bar and is private and only a short walk away. I have no complaints and would return to this hotel.

I have to write here, even though I usually don’t. I’m giving the hotel 1*, to reflect the real situation. If you think you’re coming to a 4* hotel, you’re wrong. I would call it a weak 3*. The first shock comes in the room, the photos look much cleaner and newer – we said okay, we got lured by a nice picture. But then came the cleanliness of the room, something disgusting. The floor by the bed was dirty, the furniture old, the air conditioning 20 years old – we said okay, but the cleanliness in the bathroom was terrible. We went to the reception, where they offered us a room change (which looked the same) or cleaning. We showed the cleaning lady, who doesn’t speak a word of English, that we mainly wanted the bathroom cleaned – the faucet extremely filthy, the glass by the bathtub dirty, generally all stainless steel materials uncleaned. The cleaning lady was smiling, I don’t know what she said, but she looked like she was saying, that it can’t be any cleaner. After returning to the room, everything looked the same, dirty. During our stay, we always caught the moment when she wanted to clean, whether we were out for one hour or four. Even when she had been there, the floor wasn’t washed. The food in the resort I rated as okay for the first 3 days, but then everything tastes the same. The drinks as well – they have maybe 4 types of alcohol and 5 syrups. They’re extremely sweet, but we asked for less. The staff is mostly nice, others don’t listen to you at all or don’t speak English. The rest of the alcohol in the evening is either paid or just for decoration. We were there later in the season, but the water in the pools was terribly cold, even in the small kids’ one. By the water with fountains that don’t work, it smells quite bad. There wasn’t a single ice cream in the whole resort. Otherwise okay, just you really need to take it more as a 3* motel, not a 4* hotel.
