Utopia Blu

"We arrived late into the evening which mean we went straight to bed. After a good lights test we woke to see our swim up room and what that meant. We had a private terrace around a very quiet adults only pool. We could hear the music from the other pools hit it was a distant hum nothing else. We both enjoyed having our own space and decided if each of us wanted to go inside or be outside without being apart from each other. I have been to many places I the world but this was the most relaxing holiday I have ever had. The food was excellent and well prepared. I could not fault this resort. If I was picky; I would have this in the beach but other than that it’s stunning xx"

"I think this type of All Inclusive is not for us. Maybe unlucky as end of season. The room was ok, fairly basic with no toiletries or anything special. Disappointed with the swim up concept as previously in other hotels we have been to, this has given us a private terrace with some privacy, where as here, people could walk past quite close to your room and sunbeds. It felt more like rooms around a pool rather than a swim up room. For example - People playing ball right outside your room. The bed was comfortable and the air-conditioning was effective. Towels and bedding not changed during our stay and lots of dust/hair etc on skirting boards etc. The food and drinks included were horrible, poor quality and tasteless. Always cold food, even when of the grill. It felt like being in a canteen, metal chairs dragged passed to put tables together for people, really noisy. We did not enjoy any of the food. We ate out for our last few nights. The grounds were lovely and very well maintained. We did have an issue with reception, very 'jobs worth'. We had booked via email with the hotel and had confirmation of extending our room with a late check out. They would not allow this and we could not confirm until the evening before departure. Even though most of the rooms around us were empty as end of season. I understand, during peak season this could be an issue. Nice area although lots shut for the season end. Great excursion to Nysirros and went on local bus to Kos town which was good. Lovely to see the flamingos on the salt lake close to hotel. It took us a while to navigate hotel as no information, nothing about local area. We did download the app, but information on that was basic."

"We arrived home from our fifth visit last week. I wasn't going to write a review as I would just be repeating what I've said in earlier reviews but here goes. The resort as always is stunning and kept spotlessly clean and the gardens are beautiful. We had requested a room in a particular block but we were given a room opposite the Elia restaurant which was not to our taste as there was constant foot traffic past our sunbeds and traffic noise from coaches at reception so a big thanks to Manos and the reception team for getting us moved after a couple of days. The food was really good especially the theme nights. Some earlier reviews I wonder if they were staying at the same hotel! Staff were lovely especially the ones in the Meraki bar who knew our drinks order ie Rafaella and Xristos. Our cleaner was lovely I didn't get her name but she remembered us from our visit in June. She was very thorough and swept our terrace and mopped our floors regularly, We are already booked for June 2026 and June 2027 so what more can I say. See you next year Utopia Blu"
