Blue Sea Beach Resort

"We had a great stay at Blue Sea Beach Resort, we booked for 7 nights on All Inclusive board basis. The lobby/reception area was clean and always had staff available to help. One reception member very helpfully explained the bus timetable for us as we couldn’t make sense of it! On a related note, the bus stop right outside the hotel was great, so convenient and easy to use once it was explained. There are two round fish tanks that don’t appear to have anything in them and for me, maybe these can be modernised and made into a real feature as they didn’t match the rest of the hotel at all. There is also what looks like an old sign for the hotel as you’re driving past, which made me worry as we pulled up that the hotel was going to be really outdated. When you’ve passed 5 or 6 other beautiful modern looking hotels on the way to Blue Sea Beach Resort, that was a bit of an immediate red flag as to what we were going to walk into. Our room was around the side of the hotel there were only three rooms in our section, on the ground level (we were room 1045). One of the hotel staff showed us to our room and offered to help with bags. We were super close to the beach, and there was a pathway around the side that took us straight to the pool. I would recommend some additional lighting around the walkway to these rooms as it is dark on a night time. The room was clean and tidy, air con and fridge within the room both had no issues. The shower cubicle is small, but we’re had no issues with the size ourselves. One drawback was when the room was cleaned each day, the floor never seemed to be vacuumed/swept as obviously coming in and out of the room and using the beach etc. we were bringing little bits of dust on shoes and sand from the beach. By the end of the 7 nights, the floors felt really messy and it was impossible to walk around the room without picking things up on your feet and having to dust them off. We never had a single complaint with food, there was plenty of choice. My partner isn’t fussy at all, but I am less experimental with food and still found there to be plenty of options and could always make more than a good meal each mealtime. Food was always hot, fresh and regularly replenished and showcased different themes each night. Anyone complaining of lack of options or food quality, I really don’t know what else you need, you absolutely will not starve! We did feel like the staff were a little slow with removing plates when finished, sometimes plates were completely empty, very clearly finished and they’d have passed 2/3 times without removing it (on a table for 2 the table is full after two plates are put to one side). Drinks were all great, a really good selection among the all-inclusive menu for beer/wine/spirits/cocktails. One improvement here, would be the fizzy drinks, they were all a bit poor tasting however they seemed to be slightly better when ordered from the bars, rather than in the restaurant areas. The gym had dated equipment, but all of it was functional so no actual issues there. It is slightly frustrating that the gym only opened from 10am in line with the spa (they’re in the same building) – as I imagine a lot of other people who prioritise training on holiday, want to be up and done early in the morning. It does also tend to get quite busy within the first hour of opening. Entertainment was good, lots on during the day. Music was loud around the pool areas but typically only featured in the mornings and around activities like aqua gym/Zumba as you'd expect. Each night had a different show/act and varied in quality (the best one for us was the ‘Legends’ Singers, The ABBA tribute was a bit too cheesy for us and put us off). The pool areas are great, such lovely pools and plenty of spaces to capture sun all day, as well as lots of shaded options if needed. Someone had commented previously about sunbeds being stacked up on a morning, this is a completely misleading comment and actually annoyed me when I saw it in reality. Both pool areas, and the beach are covered with lots of sunbeds already out for you to use, the only area where sunbeds are stacked up is on the (very small in comparison) grassed areas, behind the pool. There are many other options before you need to get a sunbed from the stacked section. We never struggled for a sunbed, there was always lots available around the pool and beach at 8:30am-9am after having breakfast. The beach was gorgeous, sand initially and then pebbled leading into and in the shallow section of the sea so definitely get some sea shoes as it gets super hot and is a bit tough on the feet! We snorkelled every day for hours, there was so many fish, loads of people in the sea and lots of water sports to enjoy too. On the whole, a lovely stay, we thoroughly enjoyed our time and would absolutely return and recommend to family and friends. A couple of very picky improvements which would really go above and beyond to improve customer experience, but honestly no real big complaints at all!"

"We had an absolutely wonderful and unforgettable holiday with our family! Blue Sea Beach Resort exceeded all our expectations, and we can honestly say that this is by far the best hotel we have stayed at in Greece so far. We have travelled to several different Greek islands over the years, so we have experienced many different hotels. The location of the hotel is simply fantastic – right by the beach and surrounded by beautiful scenery. The pool areas were beautiful, relaxing and exceptionally clean. There was also a great variety of activities and entertainment from morning until evening, so there was something for everyone to enjoy. The reception area was welcoming and comfortable, and the staff were always available, extremely friendly and helpful. The restaurant staff were cheerful, attentive and welcoming, creating a wonderful atmosphere throughout our holiday. Breakfast was plentiful, varied and absolutely delicious. We enjoyed our breakfasts outdoors in a peaceful and pleasant setting, with very friendly staff and excellent service. The buffet dinner had a different theme each evening, which made every dinner a little different and exciting. There was a fantastic variety of food, with something to suit every taste. The barbecue evenings were especially popular – the delicious food attracted many guests, so there was occasionally a small queue at the grill, but it was definitely worth the wait. The food was tasty and of high quality, and we left dinner happy and satisfied every evening. A special mention must go to the beach snack restaurant – absolutely fantastic! There was a great selection of delicious sweet and salty snacks, fresh fruit and drinks available. It was wonderful to be able to stop by during the day for a little something to eat without having to go anywhere else. We were lucky enough to have a room with a stunning sea view, and the view was absolutely fantastic. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable, and the large balcony was the perfect finishing touch. When we arrived, there was a small issue with the refrigerator in our room, but it was handled incredibly quickly and professionally. A new refrigerator was installed within just a few hours of us reporting the problem. This level of service is truly appreciated! A huge thank you to Blue Sea Beach Resort and the entire wonderful team! You made our holiday perfect and gave us so many lovely memories to take home with us. We would be absolutely delighted to return here again and can warmly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a wonderful, high-quality and relaxing holiday destination in Greece."

"We came as a couple my partner and I found the beach very appealing when we booked the hotel. But when we got there it really felt like the whole place wanted us there. The staff especially I think his name was Alexandras (my greek isn't great sorry) the bar man was amazing and fixed me with an old fashion that made me nothing but blush"
