Blau Costa Verde Beach Resort Review

This resort has a decidedly tropical feel, with light pastel colors. The huge concrete structure you drive up to, though, is not the most attractive. It consists of six big building blocks, with three open-air restaurants built around a large figure-eight pool. Rooms are cheery, done in light colors with an ocean theme, but not overly large, and TVs are rather small. The bathrooms, however, are surprisingly large and nicely designed in tile and marble. Some rooms have distant beach views. The sands are a 50m (164-ft.) walk away, but the beach is lovely, and the water has amazing crystal-clear turquoise tones. A kids' club, kiddie pool, playground, shallow "children's beach," and child care will appeal to families. The food here is actually pretty good for a large-scale all-inclusive.

Facilities: 4 restaurants; snack bar; 3 bars; dance club; nightly show; outdoor pool for adults; outdoor pool for children; 2 lit outdoor tennis courts; gym; Jacuzzi; sauna; watersports equipment; children's center and programs; concierge; tour desk; bikes; car- and scooter-rental desk; salon; massage; babysitting; laundry service; nonsmoking rooms.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
