Inturotel Cala Azul

This was our first family holiday and it was just perfect. What a beautiful place in the world. The resort is gorgeous. Pablo at reception was lovely and very helpful. We booked a Select room with Sea view and were at G block. We couldn’t have asked for a better room. Very quiet area with beautiful views. Rooms are comfy and were cleaned regularly. The cleaning ladies work very hard. There wasn't a time I didn’t see them cleaning around the different blocks. Air-con worked fine, people said they had problems with it but it only works if you keep the doors closed. Breakfast at Azul was lovely, great variety of foods for everyone. Plenty of fruit, breads, cooked meats, cheeses, jams, pastries, eggs, cooked breakfast and the odd surprise like waffles, pancakes, churros etc. Evening meals at Esmeralda were just as nice. Couldn’t fault it, loads of different options for everyone. Yes, the drinks are a bit overpriced. Entertainment in the evening was good for the little ones. There was also the odd pool activities which made it fun for the kids but they’re not on everyday. The sun-bed situation can be tricky, we always managed to find a bed even after breakfast. Never went early to reserve them but always managed to find at least one. There’s a platform where you can jump off and swim in those gorgeous turquoise waters and 2 beautiful beaches nearby. In general, the staff from both Azul and Esmeralda were pleasant, I never had any issues with them. The only one that stood out for the wrong reasons was the lady from the pool bar who was quite rude and loud. The location is great, a short walk to the shops, restaurants and public transport. We tried getting the train but it was full by the time it got to us, the taxis were also fully booked, so we adventured into town using public transport. Easy to use, cheap and it’s got air-con. Overall, we had the best time, good experience for us so we will definitely go back!
