We have had a pleasurable family holiday! Staying in the bungalows with shared pool near the beach. Room serviced daily, no shortage of food and drink on tap. Staff were pleasant and keen to help. We never went to the main pool, preferring the quieter experience of the beach. It is under the flight path, but to be honest this didn’t really bother us. Not all guests seem to experience the same, hence depends on where you stay within the hotel.

A truly wonderful experience ❤️
I had a 40-minute back and neck massage at Aegeos Spa at the Blue Bay Resort in Rhodes, and honestly, it was one of the best massages I’ve had.
Katarina was absolutely wonderful. From the moment the treatment started, I felt completely relaxed and in very safe hands. She was so friendly, professional and attentive, and really seemed to understand exactly where I was carrying tension. She worked beautifully on my back and neck, and by the end I felt like I’d had a complete reset.
What really made the experience special was the care Katarina put into the treatment. It didn’t feel rushed or like just another appointment — she genuinely wanted me to feel better.
I came out feeling relaxed, refreshed and with a huge smile on my face. 😊
A massive thank you to Katarina for making it such a lovely experience. If you’re staying at the Blue Bay Resort, I would 100% recommend treating yourself to a massage here.
I would definitely go back! ❤️⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
An excellent hotel for families with good rooms. The staff is very attentive and courteous. The spa is excellent—especially Rola and Katerina.
We stayed at in August for 10 nights and it was absolutely rammed. When we first arrived we were greeted at reception, everyone was really friendly and we were taken to our rooms. We went as a family of 4 with kids 10 and 7, plus grandparents so 6 of us in total. On booking the hotel we realised we had to split the kids up because the rooms only accommodated 3, however during our stay it appeared that all other families seemed to fit in rooms as a 4. Anyway our room was clean and we had a sea view which was great.
The first morning I came down at 8am and I can describe the pool scene as bedlam. All the beds are positioned round the main pool and some are 4 deep, they all had towels on. The only beds that didn’t were completely broken. I went to the second pool and this was the same, all beds gone or broken, the third pool was the same. We ended up going to the beach every day, I very quickly noticed that people were up at least 6am to put towels down and I could not be bothered to do that when I’m on holiday. Because the beach was so close the kids went to and from the pools and the sea.
When we went for breakfast on the first day there wasn’t any tables big enough for 6 people and no one offered to help move any so I put 2 tables together. I then had someone come over to ask me why I had done that, he moved the tables apart and put us on a table for 5 so we had to squish in. From the day we sat on 2 tables of 3, which as a family of 6 we didn’t want to have to do.
During our stay the whole hotel was so busy, you couldn’t see some of the pools for people, the second pool turned cloudy, the drinks at the bar were not that pleasant and I honestly found all the staff really rude, not once did someone smile at me. We’ve been to several Greek islands and return because everyone is so friendly and helpful and I can honestly say I've never been anywhere where people have been so rude and unhelpful.
I don’t have high expectations and we’ve stayed in all inclusive and self catered places before but there was just something different about this place, I didn’t feel welcome.
Reading the other reviews I’m pleased others have genuinely had a good time, this is just my personal opinion and I’m not usually this negative but i was gutted to have paid so much for this hotel, I wouldn’t ever stay here again.
I'll start with a positive, the staff were nice & the hotel nice & clean but a little dated, not what I expected for a 5 star. rooms cleaned every day. Food was nice but ti much pork on the menu. Nice weather. Onto the negative the hotel is on a hill & everywhere is hilly. The beach is very small & is not apart of the hotel as I was all inclusive I expected a bar & snacks to be available but there wasn't, just local business, cafes, restaurants & excursions. Myself & friend walked down to the beach & it was although we were being pushed down, we'll to get back up that was another story in, we missed the shuttle to bring us back up & it was another 2 hours for it came back, we decided to walk back up & it was exhausting because of the steepness & heat. I haven't got the best knees but I'm not one yo feel sorry for myself. I would not recommend if you have bad knees or other physical elements ad you will definitely find it challenging. The pools were like they were made for the 3 bears, all close together, but there was plenty of sun loungers. The day time entertaininment was pretty nearly known existent & the young lady that was doing the aerobics class was so boring it was like watching paint dry & her aqua aerobics wasn't even a warm up & lasted 10 mins. I've been to a lit of places & this is the worse I've seen, the hotel needs more people to entertain during the day not just 1. The evening entertainment was hit & miss, the acrobatics was amazing & so was the legends night. The salsa was, well I walked out after 10 mins, it was unbearable to watch. Raki & Ouzo was the main source of drink with the all inclusive, i had sangria & soke other drink with red wine most the time. The bar by the pool supplied you with baguettes, cake, popcorn & home made crisp, that was every day between 12 til 3:30. That was a rip off because where ivd travelled to in the past there has always been a supply of snacks throughout the day at your hearts desire. We went on an excursion to the aquarium although there was sea life, it wasn't what was sold to us. Then we were taken to a market it was a dump & then to a water fountain Agia Pelagia-Heraklion & it was dry 🙄 not a drop of water, it was the worst excursion ever. I must warn you again about how hilly everywhere is, you must hire a vehicle to get around. They have buses that you can catch to get out & about but there's nothing exciting around there unless you want a quiet & boring holiday.
