Amazing staff but food not so amazing

Just back from a 2 week holiday in the Blau with my husband First of all the staff are incredible! They cannot do enough for you. So friendly and very hardworking individuals. Particularly Janet and Framil from the restaurant - they made every effort to look after us and gave great service at breakfast, lunch and dinner. The beach is to die for! I would never get bored of the beautiful clear blue sea and the white sand and there is always plenty of sunbeds whether you are at the beach or the pool. There was a good choice of drinks and cocktails at the bars and the entertainment staff were the life and soul of the party always! Some really good local bands however there was one member of a band who came and blatantly asked for a ‘tip for the music’. We had only just sat down whilst they were doing their last song! Our room was lovely with a nice comfy bed and excellent air con. Sadly the only places that have air con is the main restaurant you have dinner in and your room. Our room was cleaned every day with fresh towels every day. Unfortunately, my husband was unwell for half of the holiday. On day 2 he ate a burger from the snack bar at the poolside and it was raw in the middle. The staff member at the pool bars food hygiene was questionable. I understand they are working as hard as they can but more than once I saw him using the same utensils for raw and cooked meats. My husband couldn’t leave the room for several days and struggled to eat. He is also a type 1 diabetic so this was obviously a worry for us. Thankfully he recovered but it wasn’t a nice experience. We had to cancel our trip to Havana and reschedule it but when he was still unwell for the rescheduled date we only got half our money back so I wasn’t happy about that. As it was $274 for both of us. The rep stated the reason was due to the fact we didn’t give 24 hours notice but he was feeling a little better the day before so we weren’t sure if we were going to go until that morning. There also wasn’t any terms and conditions that stated this when booking the trip. The food wasn’t the best. Maybe for someone that’s not fussy and I understand there is an issue in Cuba with food shortages and the chefs can only work with what they have but the food is a huge part of a holiday. It was the same every day for 2 weeks 3 meals a day. Our saving grace was the toasties from the 24 hour snack bar next to the beach! There is two a la carte restaurants but my husband didn’t have long trousers with him so we couldn’t go! It would help that they made it clear there was a dress code when booking! Overall, the holiday was great! We really enjoyed the days where my husband was well. The staff are second to none and the location etc is great but unfortunately the food wasn’t great!

Sad ending.

Live from the Blau, amazing service but at the Security points... it a big 0. People are getting beat without anything happen after. The staff do their best, but it look like the management doesn't care about it. Could have been a woman (almost happen as some people treat them bad) staff or anyone around. It supposed to be a good hotel that should be safe.
