BLUESEA Continental in Tossa de Mar

The last time I visited this hotel was in 2005/6s as a coach driver with a school group for seven days, it was handy to to have bus/coach stop and parking across the road from the hotel, my room faced the area and was able see my coach. I am pleased to see that the hotel up and run, to me the beach and the town is close by.

The hotel is in a good location and is only 10 minutes away from the beach. There is also a shop and the bus station is just across the street.

The room is okay. They don't have a hairdryer, and the bathroom is a little less than desirable. The beds are not the comfiest. But it is a 3 star hotel so you shouldn't expect more than that. The balcony view is beautiful, and the rooms have a tv and air conditioning.

I went for all-inclusive and the food is okay. They always have chips and pizza, so if you don't like the food, there is something for everyone. If you are all inclusive, you need a band, but I wasn't told that on check-in, so for most of my holiday, I missed out on drinks. Just make sure that if you are all-inclusive, you need to ask for the band.

The pool area is lovely and is nice and cool for those warm summer days. There are plenty of longe chairs for everyone to sit out on.

Finally, I paid €25 for a late check out, but there was a little mix-up where it got lost in translation. However, staff was lovely, and after showing proof of purchase, I was allowed to have a late check out. If you want a late check out, I recommend doing it on the day of check out to avoid confusion.

Overall, it was a nice place for a short stay and a good price for the stay you get. Would stay here again as it's good value for money.

Overall this hotel I would class as okay. Firstly a little about the hotel, it's situated directly across the road from Tossa main bus station so you can get about very easily. The hotel itself as you enter the main reception and bar area this is quite modern and nice looking, the.rest of the hotel however is very dated. On my visit I stayed on the 3rd floor, the room was very tiny and dated although very clean, the balcony was adequate. The outside seating area at the front of the hotel is pleasant as long as you have sunshine. The pool area was large enough with plenty of sun loungers and very clean. So a little about the bar and dining. I had the all inclusive option and the drinks at the bar are fine, mostly local spirits and the draft beer is Mahou which in England can be quite expensive. You have to pay 1 euro to get a plastic cup which is half pint sized, although I initially thought this was odd it helps the staff with cleaning up the mess so I can understand it. On my visit there were 2 members of bar staff, during the day it was a rather friendly lady however on the evening it was a male person who was quite rude, poor service and the drinks he made or poured were awful he was constantly on his phone at the front door smoking whilst I was queuing for a drink. He also cranked up the most atrocious Spanish music on full blast and didn't seem to want to be in work whatsoever. That said the drinks were fine.apart from him! Now to the dining room and food! Well the only way I can describe it all is that you certainly won't go hungry but the food is not at a great level which is understandable for the cost of this hotel. Out of my 4 night stay only once was there something really tasty. The food is very bland and unfortunately bordering on cold. I ate out a couple of times as I couldn't handle the repetition. One last thing is the entertainment, it is non existent. If like me it rains you are literally stuck in the hotel with nothing to do, so I would recommend you bring a tablet, book or some cards as you will be bored. If it's sunny it's fine as you can.chill outside. The area itself is a bit sparse, a few bars but nothing amazing. Again if you have the sunshine then the beach is the place to be. A couple of bonus points are that there is a huge supermarket and bus station across the road from the hotel. All in all if you get a cheap deal and you have sunshine then the hotel is fine, it's also good for a cheap base for drinks. I would go again but only if it was going to be hot
