TUI BLUE Playa Feliz

Good hotel 2 star attached to sister hotel 4 star. The rooms are spacious and clean. We went as self catering but on arrival I looked around for a restaurant for evening meals and only found 2 or 3 so decided to upgrade to half board this was a good decision the food was good and if you want a drink with your meal you can get a drinks package at reception for 4.90 euros and have as many drinks as you want with your meal. If you want a quiet holiday round the pool this is ideal the nearest sandy beach is about 20 minutes walk away (black sand). There is not a lot to do near the hotel but would recommend for that quiet holiday.

Great week! Quiet & relaxing resort, but not much to see at Bahia Feliz. Local bus route and taxis get you round though. Self-catering apartment very clean and everything worked fine in the spacious rooms. Reception & staff very helpful, and shared facilities with Hotel Orquidea worked fine. Only gripe was hotel bar didn't have enough staff so queuing for drinks was normal on an evening. Options to pay for all-inclusive on arrival but self-catering worked for us. Great pool area and activities. Overall good value for a weeks holiday at short notice.

Lovely place to stay. Lots of families and couples, nice vibe to the place and always plenty of sun loungers.

All round a great hotel. Staff are friendly and helpful, meal times offer a wide range of food and drinks choices, rooms are large and spacious and the hotel is clean and well maintained in all areas. We will definitely be returning again in the future.

We stayed at Tui Blue Playa Feliz for a week in September. We were half board. We had an apartment on ground level almost looking over the sea and lovely well maintained gardens. The apartment was very well equipped, if not a bit shabby. Kettle, coffee maker, fridge, hob, crockery, pans etc. Hairdryer and safe. Good air-conditioning in the lounge but not in the bedroom. We did appreciate the space and the large terrace. Some of the apartments are owned by local people and they've put their own stamp on them. The cleaners didn't do a great job, no evidence of them sweeping the floors or cleaning the shower shower and they do not clean at all on Tuesdays and Sundays, which I've never experienced before at a hotel. Fresh towels most days. I have to say, the drinks are very poor at both hotels, worst I've ever had. To pay €3.60 each for a half filled plastic glass of sangria which resembles coloured water is disappointing. Wines are cheap and watery. A Tequila Sunrise tasted like watery lucozade. Awful cocktails with hardly any alcohol. Food was okay, breakfast in our hotel was fine, the restaurant is small and not much choice. We liked the fact that it was small and quiet though. They make omelettes to order, which we enjoyed. The baked beans were good too. Only 3 choices of pastries, 2 of which were doughnuts. Porridge always cold and gloopy. Fruit and yoghurt lovely. Dinner was at the larger sister hotel next door, Orquidea. Much more choice, big restaurant, bit noisy at times. Very variable. I saw staff throw the fresh hot food onto the cold remains rather than take the cold serving dishes away. Not good as you get hot and lukewarm food mixed together. Not much decent vegetarian food, bland vegetables, pasta and pizzas. I enjoyed the food on two of the nights though. We opted to upgrade for a drinks package at the beginning of our stay. This costs €5 each per night. However, it is only whilst you are eating dinner in the Orquidea restaurant and only includes wines, sangria, juices from the pumps (all watery) and hot beverages. We wish we hadn't bothered. We did buy wines and sangria from the local supermarkets. Much better quality and far cheaper. Some of the barmen at Playa Feliz pool bar were miserable and the drinks they make vary so much, from bad to diabolical. The pool areas are nice and kept clean. Great for children. Usual entertainment, yoga, quizzes, water polo etc plus kids disco and cabaret on the evenings. The main evening entertainment is in the big sister hotel Orquidea next door. The animation team work very hard. Not much to do at this resort. Small shopping centre with two supermarkets, an excursion shop, tourist shop, couple of bars and restaurants. You can walk left and right on the prom but neither lead to anything exciting, although the walk along the seafront is really pleasant.The hotels have shops too. The other 2 sister hotels didn't look up to much, and were on hills. The buses are good and the bus stop is very close. We went to the capital Las Palmas which was lovely. Old town, (Vegueta), new town plus a great golden sandy beach called Las Canteras. Bus cost €5.60 each way. We also did the mountain peaks tour with LCT. Very good. We went to Firgas, Teror and saw lovely mountains. I would recommend this trip. Book direct, costs €55, although the man in the shop opposite the hotel charged us €65 each. Would I go to this hotel again? Possibly, but only if it was a cheap late offer. I've stayed at much better 4* hotels and would say it's more like a 3*. We did like having the ground floor apartment though. I think this hotel is ideal for families with young children who want to stay by the pool all day and partake in activities.
