Blue Sea Beach Resort

Soon as we arrived we were shown our rooms, we had a pool and sea view. As we arrived late the hotel kept the dining room open so we could have something to eat and drink, which was very kind. Duration of the stay there was so much food to chose from! The main dining area I visited in the evening and the beach bar during the day. The beach bar’s food was lovely! Gyros wraps daily yum! You have a selection of drinks to choose from also. I had cocktails to spirits to soft drinks throughout the day. The bar staff were all friendly! I found Giorgos so funny! After a week of being here we realised they do crepes during the day, they were yummy too from savoury to sweet, your choice. The man making them was nice too. The hotel rooms bed was very comfy, slept like a log. They provide you with a safe free of charge and the cleaners were very polite and helpful. For my mums and my birthday they gave us some lovely wine and baclava. The views from the balcony were lovely. Down by the beach they provide you with sun beds and shade and the sea is calm so it’s lovely swimming out there! Nice views of the mountain and you can see Kalithea. We went with Tui and Anthonios was our rep, 10/10 on him too. Again polite and helpful, went through the history to the trips available. There is a beautiful cat on the premises which I loved so much! I’m a cat lover. I definitely won’t forget this holiday. At the spa I got 2 facials and massages, they worked hard and it was probably the best facial and massage I’ve ever had, 100% effort! Overall rating was 10/10. Food, drink, sea, pool, bed, friendly & polite. Burger night is a must!

The resort and staff are lovely. By far the best bit about the trip was the spa the team are very nice and accommodating. Two days in a row they managed to to squeeze me and my friend in for a massage. Both times it was done by Marietta.. both massages were amazing, they really got rid of my shoulder pains and Marietta used a different cream for myself as I suffer from psoriasis and was really well informed.. it also really helped with flare ups I have. Highly recommend a massage from Marietta.

The resort is clean tidy and just what is needed. Staff are friendly always. I had a full body deep tissue massage whilst I stayed at the hotel in their Aegeo spa by Maria and it was amazing.

A perfect time for my daughter and me! Maria makes miracles on my neck during a cretan massage. After mine, my daughter had a Little massage. We passed a very good moment during our trip in the Blue Sea Beach Hôtel. Thanks you very much Maria ! :)

The hotel itself is nice, decent rooms, decent showers and on the beach. Quick and cheap taxis into Faliraki and not too far from the airport. Food is poor, some days we didn’t eat in the hotel at all, although we had paid for all inclusive and staff were very pleasant. HOWEVER! The majority of the guests are Russian and EXTREMELY unfriendly. If you are black or from a minority ethnic background my recommendation is that you avoid this hotel unless you want to be constantly stared at as if you have 8 heads and 4 arms. I can only say I’m very happy it was a couples holiday and my children did not have to experience what we did as a black couple. I am 30 years old and I’ve heard about the racist aura but I’ve never experienced it until we stayed at this hotel. Constant staring and not a smile in sight from the majority of guests. Very uncomfortable feeling, X’s CNN each vs £ so we therefore spent as much time out of the hotel as physically possible. My husband seconds everything I am saying. The reason for late review is that we are here chatting many months later and began discussing our holiday and the hotel came up. My husband stressed the importance of us sharing our experience as black people to help others not have to experience what we did. Especially families, because it was really not nice! It was 2023 not 1903! I would never return to this hotel and that’s unfortunate because as I said the locals, the staff and the hotel itself were lovely.

Currently on a 10 night stay here and I can’t fault anything about it. The pools are gorgeous and the beach is just a few steps away. It’s a stunning beach as well, plenty of beds and a gorgeous clear sea. The rooms are very modern and clean. The staff are super friendly. Rhodes old town is definitely worth a visit. Kalithea Springs is a 10 minute taxi ride away and is stunning. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Amazing holiday!! My husband and I stayed here first two weeks in May. From our arrival to the last day we had a fabulous time. All the staff were wonderful. You worked so hard to make our holiday special. The food is delicious and the beach bar is a nice touch . The manager and staff there are amazing. Loved the different areas to have a drink. The entertainment was really good. Staff are so good at getting everyone involved. The quiz nights were our favourite. We never go anywhere twice but we will definitely be back . Great value for money and amazing staff.

We stayed for a week at this hotel in October 2023. Unfortunately, quite a few negatives which made our stay average... - We were first shown to a room that felt like a maze to get there. We had to go up a small wooden spiral staircase to get to - room was nothing like the pictures we had seen, with only 1 light working and the clip to hold the shower was broken. We approached reception to enquire about moving rooms and were told to return the next day to discuss, which we did. Upon approaching reception the next day, we were told yet again to return the following day to sort this. This conversation occurred once more. After wasting 3 days of our holiday, waiting around for reception staff to do something about our room and being told "your room is really nice", we were eventually moved to a new room in the modern area of the hotel. This new room was exactly what was advertised and definitely improved our experience. Unfortunately, the reception staff did not deal with this well and we found that they were incredibly contradicting in what they were saying: rude, lying, being promised multiple times for it to be sorted, management ignoring us and talking through staff instead of addressing us directly. Upon talking to other guests, we found we were not the only ones with such issues. - We had a bottle (not a water bottle) in the bathroom for hygiene purposes, which was thrown out by cleaners in the room. - We found that bar staff were inconsistent. We often asked for cocktails to be made as 'mocktails' due to neither of us drinking alcohol. This was ignored once, causing us to drink alcohol which was frustrating as we do not do so for religious reasons. I do not remember her name but one member of the team was incredibly rude. When we asked for a specific cocktail with no alcohol, being told "this is an all inclusive hotel; there is alcohol". We felt this was very rude, inconsistent and unnecessary. I'm unsure how difficult it is to make a cocktail without alcohol? It ultimately is just fruit juice so it was odd how she was so rude about this. - I found a pin from the notice board on the floor by the pool area, which could have been nasty if stood on. - One of our party was incredibly sick one night. This was a 24 hour bug after eating some dodgy fish, we believe. - WiFi was intermittent and often didn't work for me. - Walls fairly thin and often could hear flushing in other rooms. - Gym old and dated. - Pools cold. - Chicken burger in the burger bar tasted and looked like beef. I was challenged massively by staff when I brought this up. - We got quite a few bites whilst in our room but rarely had our balcony door open. - A la carte restaurant was an added bonus. However, due to religious reasons, we do not eat pork. We asked for this not to be brought to the table, as it would be wasted, but we were ignored and staff were quite pushy with bringing food, despite us asking for it not to be brought to the table. Thankfully there were a handful of

This hotel is located in Faliraki, about a 20-minute drive from the airport. The location of the hotel makes it a nice place to start exploring Rhodes. Arriving at the hotel late at night, our first experience was a positive one. This was our first time going to an all-inclusive resort, and despite us arriving past the closing time of the restaurants, the staff offered us the chance to still get a free dinner. The hotel buildings look a bit dated in several places, but we were satisfied with the nice and tidy look of our room. The room was also pretty spacious, and the bathroom was very nice and clean. We also spent quite some time relaxing on the balcony. Speaking about the rooms, we do unfortunately have a complaint, namely that they are quite noisy, which became a problem when a family with young children moved into the room next to ours, although the noise was mostly limited to one or two occurences. This brings me to another point of criticism. Before visiting this hotel, we had been happily travelling exclusively to adults only-hotels for many years. However, travelling outside of the peak holiday season, we expected our experience in the Blue Sea Beach Resort to not be too different from our experiences in adults only-hotels. Unfortunately, it was very different in some ways detrimental to this hotel. Even travelling outside peak holiday season, the hotel was very busy with both adolescents and families with young children. This was a nuisance especially around the swimming pool and beach areas. We had high expectations of the restaurants at the resort, this being our first time at an all inclusive hotel. Unfortunately, mainly looking at the main buffet restaurant, we were a bit disappointed with what was offered. The buffet is almost completely the same every day, offering a selection of food that feels a bit generic and limited. I will say that we were satisfied with the food at the burger restaurant, which was very nice, but since this restaurant is located at the beach bar, it does not really have the atmosphere you would expect of a restaurant. Unfortunately we were unable to visit the à la carte-restaurant since this had to be booked many days in advance. The main point that improves my rating for this hotel, is that we were delighted with the staff and their service. Many members of the staff, including Eva, Socratis, Giorgios, Epithimia and Michalis, really did everything they could to make our holiday as pleasant as possible. The staff deserves high marks for their service, which is in large part why we are, in general, positive about our stay in this hotel, although we will be going to an adults only-hotel again during our next holiday,
