Hire a car at the airport rather than through the hotel; it is cheaper and helps you reach Es Trenc and other island destinations.
Guests tend to enjoy the hotel’s leafy setting, spotless and generously sized rooms, and the genuinely helpful manner of the team. Families especially value the children’s facilities, activities, pools and easy access to beaches, while the spa, entertainment and sports options give the stay plenty of variety. Not everything runs perfectly: some feel extras are expensive, service can be unhurried at busy times, and a minority report small repair issues or too few loungers around the pool.

Hire a car at the airport rather than through the hotel; it is cheaper and helps you reach Es Trenc and other island destinations.
Bring mosquito spray, especially for evening entertainment and other outdoor areas.
Request a first- or second-floor room in Block 1 or 2, preferably sunny and away from block entrances; avoid Block 5.
Buy drinks and snacks at the local shop instead of the on-site mini-market, which is expensive.
Arrive early for a sun lounger because they fill quickly, or use the grassy areas instead.
Visit in May or avoid peak holiday periods for a quieter stay.
Bring cash or euros for the pool-towel rental or deposit.
Book a Garden Suite if you want that room category.
Upgrade to a Superior Suite for spa access.
Ask for a room away from young children if you want to sleep past 7am.
Choose an inside garden-view room for quieter nights.
Confirm that your room has a proper bed before settling in.
Request Block 2 for a central position within the resort.
Book travel and airport transfers separately if you are a Blau Amigo to reduce the Half Board rate.
Allow extra time to find parking because spaces can be difficult when the hotel is busy.
Check the evening entertainment schedule during your stay.
Use the kids’ club for organized activities and friendly childcare.
Ask the service team for help with special needs or questions.
Ask reception for a kettle if you need one.
Budget €25 to use the in-room safe.
Download the Blau app for helpful tips and the entertainment guide.
Carry a small torch because the grounds can be dark and poorly lit at night.
Arrive early or late for dinner if you want an outdoor balcony table.
Walk about five minutes to nearby bars and restaurants.
Walk about 10 minutes into town or take the tourist train.
Use the children’s pool for easier access to sun loungers.
Expect the heated pool to be crowded; spa access costs extra and may not remain adults-only.
Explore the different pools to find a relaxing spot.
Blau Colònia Sant Jordi has the relaxed scale of a garden village rather than a single big resort block. Its 192 double rooms and 203 family suites sit in low-rise buildings across eight hectares, threaded with patios, fountains, lakes and shady pine trees. It is an easy fit for families: children have room to roam, while adults can make the most of the sports programme, spa time, tennis courts or a quieter poolside pause.
The hotel is set by Mallorca’s celebrated Es Trenc beach, in Colònia de Sant Jordi, and is especially suited to travellers who want a beach holiday with plenty to do without sacrificing green space. Family suites make practical sense for guests with young children, and the on-site shop, kids’ buffet, pool restaurant and shuttle bus mentioned by visitors add useful convenience. Entertainment, table tennis and the pirate-ship-themed fun keep the days lively when everyone needs a break from the sand.
Guests regularly appreciate the clean, roomy accommodation, kind staff and well-kept grounds, often describing it as a particularly enjoyable base for a family break. The animation team, massages, spa and swim-up bar earn plenty of affectionate mentions. A few guests do flag costly extras, slow moments of service, occasional maintenance shortcomings and competition for sunbeds, so it pays to plan spa treatments and pool time ahead.
