Blue Bay

Again another fantastic stay at Blue Bay For myself and our family After a twenty five hour delay it was lovely to arrive in our beautiful room to find a lovely welcome gift and letter for being repeat visitors, the same was received by our family in their room. This was a lovely gesture and very much appreciated The grandchildren have had a wonderful time Food brilliant and always found something they could eat and they are very fussy No problems finding sun loungers at the pool and a Big shout out to the life guard who was always on the ball in catching our two year old granddaughter who always wanted to run from pool to pool ! Bar staff and restaurant staff attentive as always and always greeted you with a smile and we did notice a lot of new staff this year There seems to be a lot more management this year and again they are always happy to help and always made the time to come for a chat and check everything was okay Only one negative was the lack of entertainment staff which didn’t bother me and my partner but I think the younger members of the family would have liked activities in the day - however totally understand this was out of the hotels control as they were waiting for replacement staff to arrive We will definitely be back again in the near future and hopefully will continue to receive the great hospitality from team Blue Bay Thanks for helping make our holiday memorable and enabling us to create special family memories

We recently stayed at the Blue Bay resort and I have to say we were disappointed. The hotel itself is lovely, but it is a very poor value all inclusive. I have stayed at all inclusive hotels for around 15 years and can categorically say this one is the worst value. Here’s why:- * No cocktails. They do claim to have an all inclusive cocktail list, but they are local spirits such as ouzo and Raki. There was only one I recognised which was sangria. To add insult to injury, they are served in a plastic cup (or glass if you are inside) with no presentation, so basically looks like a cup of squash. * Beach/pool towels are not free. A daily charge for each towel and you cannot get them changed unless you pay for a new one. ‘ Poor snack selection. The only thing on offer were pizza slices that did not look fresh, rolls with various fillings snd crisps Oh and the odd piece of cake. They were only availability until 3pm * No proper coffee. Only available out of a machine. Iced coffees were chargeable Other negatives were broken sun-beds that were very uncomfortable, unless you walked to the pool down the road at the Annex where they were much better. Other negatives food was very repetitive, also if you have kids who are fussy eaters, they will probably live on pasta and chips. Positives:- *Attractive and spotlessly clean hotel *Friendly staff *vibrant town about 25 minute walk or short taxi. *Nice beach with comfy sun-beds €5 per day *lovely tavernas and some shops at the beach. This is where we had to buy our coffees. *Fabulous views

Had an excellent week at this hotel with the family, having read a couple of negative reviews before going I was a little apprehensive, it was absolutely amazing , the room was huge, and kept spotless, food was plentiful and for a meat eating family and vegetarian family the choices were great , best food we have had in an all inclusive, ( better chips than English chip shops) , All food clearly labelled, All staff friendly and welcoming with a special mention for Zacharius who was a lovely gentleman. Room location perfect, Location of the hotel although on top of a hill didn’t bother us one bit and was fine, Again prior to going was worried about size of the pools but once there they were fine, ( maybe get a bit busy once more and more people arrive ) . All in all a great week and would consider returning without a second thought,
