Lindos Blue Sky

Just spent a week at Lindos Blue Sky and could not fault it. On arrival our name was on an envelope with instructions of how to enter our room (as it was 3am). Room was incredibly spacious and host left us a bottle of wine and water. Which I thought was a nice touch. You can reach the owner via the shop which is meters away. I booked a late check out for only €30. Allowing us to stay until 6pm instead of 12pm. We were on the first floor. View from the balcony was stunning. Room was cleaned daily. No toilet paper replenished so buy your own from the shop. Use of the Athena next door with a swimming pool and bar. Lovely food, relaxed atmosphere and prices very reasonable. Location is very good. However some very hilly walks to get into the centre. Maybe not very good for people with accessibility issues. On the whole we had an amazing, relaxing week in the pool, eating and sipping cocktails in the sun. Would 100% return.

We’ve just returned from our second stay at the wonderful Lindos Blue Sky Self Catering Apartments, and once again it didn’t disappoint. There’s a reason we keep coming back! Our top floor apartment had a lovely and spacious balcony with a fantastic view of the Lindos Acropolis, which was the perfect spot to enjoy a morning coffee or relax in the evening. The location is excellent – close enough to walk into the heart of Lindos and the beach, but far enough away to enjoy some welcomed peace and quiet. These are self catering apartments and have some of the best facilities available for a great price. Ceramic hob, full size fridge and large freezer, kettle and toaster. (Could probably do with a baking tray for the oven but we're on holiday - not MasterChef so easily forgiven!). Air conditioning, lovely shower over full size bath. TV mounted on wall with a few mainly foreign language channels on there (Managed to watch the England Matches in the world cup in Greek which was funny) but internet enabled so could log into YouTube on there with my account. We used the pool next door in the Lindos Athena hotel which was also excellent - a warm remembered welcome from Theo and George there, food great for poolside snacks / lunch which will be a separate review. A special mention has to go to Claire, who is such a wonderful host. She’s friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help, making you feel at home from the moment you arrive. Nothing was too much trouble and when she saw us she would always speak and ask how our holiday was going. The shop a matter of yards away is well stocked, reasonably priced and the staff are extremely helpful (Especially Elina) and happy to chat. The apartment was cleaned every other day to a high standard by the attentive housekeeping team, who did a fantastic job and kept everything spotless throughout our stay. Bed linen changed every other day but beds made and towels changed / toilet bin emptied. The Ice bar used a couple of times for evening meals (Highly recommended) and Lindos accessible and nearby resort of Pefkos accessible by taxi (10 Euros) or by regular air conditioned service bus for 2 Euros each. We had another wonderful holiday and wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. If you're looking for comfortable, well-kept self catering accommodation in a great location with genuinely warm hospitality, Lindos Blue Sky is an excellent choice. Highly recommended!

The location, and distance from lindos is generally fine and roughly a mile from the beaches. The unfortunate issues as mentioned previously are cleanliness with the insects, cockroaches, and poor standard of the rooms which is why reviews are now so poor. The general atmosphere isn't existent as there's nobody there and no pool ( have to go next door and buy food ), and if you are on the bottom floor prepare to hear every conversation possible. It's a shame as this good easily be a prime hotel if it had it's own pool and was updated. However your stay will likely be one of looking out for ants, bugs, cockroaches and being told it's fine when in reality minor fixes could sort all this. Value wise, it's a cheap holidah but you could still pay less and find a more enjoyable one. A shame to see.
