Hotel Blue Sea Interpalace

All good, room was spacious and had everything I needed staff were very helpful

All good hotel after renovation nice and tidy

We arrived late and we were provided with a packed lunch (the only positive) We were sent to our rooms which are dated, dirty and loud. The first thing was sewing needles on the bedroom carpet. We sat down and opened the packed lunch to find mouldy fruit and soaked wet paper bags. I took them back to reception where they took the bag, laughed and apologied and didnt get offered any alternative. So off to bed I went. Hungry. The pool area is nice however this annoyed us as you can purchase inftables in the shop on the hote.. however BEWARE... These are NOT aloud to be used in the pool! Every family we spoke to were shocked at this.. being a family hotel, you are not alloud any form of toy/ ball/ sinking diving toys in the pool AT ALL and the life guard is VERY strict about this! You are not alloud any food on the loungers, this is a 1st for me. We got a sea view room which unfortuantley you do not get the sun at all (not in May anyway) The pool was signed to close at 6pm however quite a few nights this was closed early. The animation team tried hard with extremely limited resources. You can rent to gold clubs/ tennis rackets which to be honest are just completely dangerous- I took photos of the damaged golf glubs we were given. And there must be only 1 set. We went for tennis rackets one day and nobody had been in the court all day, but because they had paid the deposit and took the rackets we could not play. Night time entertainment for kidsis in another hotel

This hotel is one of three across the street from one another, and you can use the great swimming pools (3 outdoor, 1 indoor/warmed water) and restaurants/bars at any of them. The dinner and breakfast buffets are great, quality hot foods (dinner better than breakfast). Drinks besides water are not free with dinner, and they will watch you like a hawk if you try. The music in the lobbies is comically 80s and what I imagine older Europeans listen to in terms of American old-school singers, like very hokey. Speaking of which, hotel staff does NOT speak English, so if you’re an American or Brit it’s a struggle. Dutch and German are more common, some Italian and Portuguese, and the Canadian dialect of Spanish (drop the S). The location near La Paz is walkable to the beach promenade down the hill, and is about a 2.5 hour bus ride on Line 343 to the Sur airport (a little less to Norte) (Sidenote: bus is always late Toward the airport due to traffic so plan accordingly (I and 3 other passengers almost missed flight). The hotel has great activities for day trips albeit a little pricey. I did not like that the WiFi at the hotel lobby is the most frustrating, slow, and dropped connections on the planet, and don’t bother to buy the room one because it is even worse. I missed a work meeting after 21 minutes of frustration with hotel WiFi. Don’t think you will get any work done. At the airport or from home, bring your own portable WiFi or an international data plan.
