VIVA Blue & Spa

Me and my family has been to Viva Blue two years in a row and we love the place. We have two kids who has really enjoyed the activities: crafting, painting, getting face paints, glitter tattoos, the Pirate disco etc. The staff is very friendly and welcoming! The pool area is very nice and the food is good. We can really recommend this hotel for families with kids.

Our first visit to Viva Blue (and Majorca) and we loved it, didn’t want to come home. We had a selection club 1 bed apartment which was lovely and modern and super clean. The shower was especially amazing! Housekeeping was done everyday and to a high standard. The balcony looked out over the pool though we didn’t actually use it too much. The bed was really comfy and even the sofa bed was too. Food wise, we were only B&B so didn’t sample evening meals. Breakfast was mostly brilliant - plenty of choice from pastries, cereals, muesli, pancakes and waffles, lovely fresh bread with meats and cheese, fresh omelettes and usual fried items. Between us we tried almost everything and it always tasty. Lots of choice of juice too - especially the red berry nectar juice was delicious. There were a couple of days where the fruit wasn’t quite as fresh but overall we were really happy. We did have a couple of snacks from the pool bar on the first few days wouldn’t rate this particularly well. We started popping either to the shop on site or one of the supermarkets outside to get bread, cheese and meats to have for lunch on the balcony. We also grabbed a pizza from sorrento restaurant up the road which was delicious! Entertainment was again mostly fabulous. The animation team were amazing and knew all the kids by name. The kids clubs and activities were brilliant. Especially a huge thanks to Alba, Laura and Filipa - our daughter adored them and didn’t want to leave! They had options such as loom bands, football, uno etc. for while the main entertainment was on in case the kids didn’t want to watch. I would say generally it is catered for younger children with the disco etc. but there are still activities going on for the older ones. The pools were fab. We lucked out with weather so the coldness wasn’t really an issue other than the kids pirate pool which seemed especially cold and was noticeably quieter than the rest. My daughter spent most of her time on the bouncy pillow! This was fantastic but can get a little rowdy at times. The selection club (oasis) pool was well worth paying extra for - much comfier beds and the pool was definitely warmer than the others. There were a couple of incidents with ‘accidents’ in the pool though - not a fault of the hotel but maybe a reminder about swim nappies and doubling up might be helpful! We also never struggled to get a sunbed - generally people weren’t out and about at the pool before they opened at 10. The location was good too, about 2 minutes walk to the beach which was lovely. If you walk a little further up the water is crystal clear and really beautiful. Bus stop right outside on the main road to Alcudia and c’an picafort. Only time we had any trouble getting a bus was on market day (we ended up walking most of the way and jumping on a bus further up). Playa de muro is pretty quiet - it’s just one strip of shops/restaurants but we found plenty of nice places to eat and did venture to Alcudia a couple of times too. Valls ice cream across the road is absolutely outstanding too. The little on site shop is brilliant and often cheaper than the supermarkets outside. There is fresh bread, pastries and donuts there everyday and a fantastic selection of drinks and pretty much anything and everything you could want. The staff in here were also lovely. Finally, the staff in general were all lovely and would really go out of their way to help you if they could. We had a late flight and were able to keep our room until 7pm. This was a huge help and meant we spent all of our last day in the pool and managed to get out to Alcudia for a final meal which took so much stress away. We didn’t notice anything over and above normal levels of mosquito bites. Out of 3 of us only one had around 4/5 bites and the other two had none. We would 100% recommend viva blue and would definitely consider returning again - but potentially rent a car to explore the island a little bit more.

We love this hotel this is our 4th visit. Our children our now 10 and 6 and have been in the pools non stop for the whole week - don’t want to come home! Staff are so friendly and look after you so well! The food is lovely - a different theme every night so doesn’t feel the same! Our kids love the activities and the activity team are brilliant! Hotel is super clean! We love this place can’t wait to come back!

What a beautifully designed hotel, everything is perfectly located. The rooms are a great size and kept to a great standard. The staff are outstanding - their dedication, passion & work ethic is incredible. They work so hard all day! The food is stunning, so much variety and the quality is excellent. Drinks are great too. It was perfect for our 2 young boys (5 & 4). The entertainment was brilliant & the kids activities were perfectly created. Can’t recommend Viva Blue enough & we will definitely be returning 😁

I just want to share my review about the selection pool (Oasis) as you do see a few people advising they think It should be a 18+ pool, we have a child with ADHD/Autism, the selection pool is a safe haven for us, if the other pools get to much for him we know we can then go back to an area he’s comfortable with, I think it’s a great idea that there is another pool for all who go selection club,l as there will be other families in the same situation as us,I think if you want a separate 18 plus area then I would suggest booking an adults only hotel not a fantastic family hotel

We had a fantastic family holiday staying at Viva Blue. We had a selection club apartment and definitely recommend upgrading to selection club. This gave us access to the oasis (slightly heated) pool which was the absolute highlight of my Children’s holiday (main pools were chilly!) Lovely food, friendly staff, clean facilities and great location near beach and bars/restaurants. Make sure to visit Alcúdia old town and port de Pollença which are a taxi ride away, Only downside of the area for us was hawkers constantly trying to sell you stuff on the beach (obviously not a fault of the hotel but we haven’t had this staying in other areas of Majorca).

A wonderful hotel with great staff. Great food. Plenty of sunbirds and plenty of pools so there is good space for everybody. Especially., If you get the opportunity to meet Marga or Miriam, please do - they offer wonderful service and a very attentive at the bar.

Great hotel, all staff helpful and friendly. Quality of the food good. Rooms spacious and nice to have a fridge. Close to a beautiful beach and great ice cream shop. We dis a trip to Palma which was very good, definitely worth seeing.Close to Alcudia Old town by bus which is worth a visit, avoid market day unless you want a fake handbag!
