Grand Blue Beach Hotel

Front desk amazing people!,Full of suggestions and always with smile! Easy check in and out! We stayed at the main building, top of the hill, with an amazing view. They have golf cart to go up and down to the beach. Due to the busy week we walked, very hard!

Petit déjeuner et dîner en self. Plage privée très minimaliste et sur les rochers mais sable à proximité.

I went to the spa to ask about the different services they offer. They told me the thing they offer, different massages, facial treatments, full body treatments. Lucky for me because they had their birthday they had some good offers. Choose the full body massage and it was really good. My therapist Sofia kept asking if i was good and if i liked it. Really check it out if you have the time!

The treatment was really professionell and clean. Also you get good explanations about the treatment. During the 17th Birthday of the Spa they also had special offers. My Therapist Bill was really kind, and always made sure I was comfortable. The treatments are little expensive but worth the money. We got a nice gift after the treatment.

I was in the spa with a friend. Kate Geo and Sofia was great!! Thw massage was perfect!!! Thank you for this amazing experience!! ישראלים בואו לעשות מסאג מעולה. השקיעו בנו מעל ומעבר גם באורך השהות והמסאג!! תודה רבה על השהות במלון ובספא המפנק!!

it is a very nice hotel. Overall it is super clean, the staff is very friendly. we had a room with a view over the sea which was very spacious. The food is tasty but always starts to be the same after a few days. The cocktails are tasty and certainly not diluted with water. They are also real brand drinks such as Gordon's, Bacardi and soft drinks such as Coca Cola and Fanta were served in cans and bottles. we arrived in mid-June. It was still very quiet then. We noticed that the crowds increased after a week. It is definitely recommended if you want some luxury for an affordable price.

I have stayed at the grand blue many times over the last few years I have to say I hadn’t been for two years and I noticed a difference the food was the best we have had it was always very hot and fresh and we enjoyed everything we had , the rooms are lovely lots of space a lovely sea view , it was lovely to see old friends that are still there John the buggy man he’s lovely , Daniel the chef also the lovely man that does the eggs in the morning and to new friends especially Tamara on reception who went above and beyond for us she is amazing , there was only one little problem we had my friend was spoken to very rudely by the lady who was managering the restaurant about using the coffee machine saying she shouldn’t the staff should be getting the coffee we was not asked once for coffee in the morning until our last day so we just helped ourselfs along with lots of other guests didn’t think this was a problem and I will say we were never shown to a table in the restaurant of a night either which in the past we always was however this didn’t ruin our holiday and we will still return .

Me and my partner did 4 nights at this hotel. We booked this for a break from normal life and our children so we was really looking forward to the much needed break. We have good points and bad. Il try keep it straight forward Good points 1st- Great location to the airport and only about 10 minutes drive. Check in was very easy Nice golf buggy to our room late at night Nice spacious room and sea view exactly what we asked for Nice size balcony Plenty of wardrobe space Bathroom was really nice Plenty of bars Plenty of toilets and very accessible Views from the restaurant fantastic Soft drinks all name Fanta,Coke etc in cans or bottles All the resort was very clean Great location for the Kardemena centre Check out have shower facilities and towels provided. Bad points - At Check in 1230am we was told we could have a drink all inclusive but them the barman and manager refused us saying we was too late Misinformation from the reception Luckily she talked the manager round to give us 1 drink as it was very late We was given 2 dry sandwiches on arrival that looking shocking(I'd advise after speaking to others you stop this it's just waste) and maybe think of something else. Nothing in our fridge when we arrived to have a drink If you have walking difficulties the hotel is on a very steep hill.yes they do have golf buggies but like we found out you can be waiting 20 minutes or on one occasion it didn't even come after waiting over half an hour. The food isn't great....especially for kids I really don't know what kids would eat. No pizza,nuggets or burgers Pasta was very bland The snack bar is a total joke...a small type of oven that has pizza or pastries in there for ages to just go dry and crispy. Worst snack bar ever see picture attached that is it and then a freezer for ice cream. Drinks can be very strong and horrible so we needed to tell most bar tenders to only put small bits of alcohol in the drinks to make it bearable. Prosecco not on the All Inclusive which is strange for 5 star. Some staff clearly had no idea what information to pass on. We was told different things by different staff Panorama restaurant is only open on an evening (we wasn't told this before arriving)see picture attached saying it was open(this sign needs removing) A la carte wasn't open either at all though (we wasn't told this before arriving) No mini bar in our room ALL the pools are freezing....hardly anyone in them. Even some kids wouldn't get in them(why would you want to go away and not be able to get in a pool) Surely 5 star should have a heated pool if there so cold. Pool towels were pointless....very small and thin.also you've to have a full week before they replace it for a fresh one. Entertainment is a disgrace....most people were moaning about it and not enough of it through the day. Tried to charge us room service fee for water because we had none and 2 bars wouldn't give us any to which the reception said they should be doing. Luckily she sw s

We enjoyed our stay here. Ill list as pros and cons: PROS - the location is great. Less than 10 mins drive from airport, in Kardamena which is quieter than Kos town and the hotel itself is not in the town but a 10 min walk along the coast away which for us was even more perfect as we were looking for a relaxing break but close enough to places to go out and eat. - 3x swimming pools on site, no problem getting sun loungers though we came in October so might be an issue peak season - love that the rooms are in blocks over the hill. We got a great sea view and it was nice to walk out into sunshine and not hotel corridors. - everything was clean. From rooms bathrooms hotel lobbys and pool sides - hotel is on steep hills but there are lovely gentlemen happy to take people up and down in golf buggies. (We were happy to walk most the time). - everyone is really friendly - our room (twin room) was really spacious inc. the bathroom. Beds were comfortable. Air con worked great. Good balcony with drying rack. Patio door had a mosquito screen so we could open the door and close the screen. Smart tv also so could access netflix! Tea coffee facilities in room. - really comfortable sun loungers. CONS - would have liked to have massage -but was fully booked as theres only one therapist. Book in advance. - asked for an iron and was told “they can’t guarantee theyll find one but they will look”. It didnt turn up and i spent the holiday wearing creased clothes. A 5* hotel should have an iron!!! - breakfast was underwhelming. It was fine and you wont leave hungry but as a frequent traveller, it certainly wasnt a 5* spread, particularly hot food (or lack of it). - outside of meal times you wont get much food. We were booked for breakfast only (not all inclusive) and our flight landed early afternoon. We got to the hotel around 3ish starving and just wanted a sandwich or similar and was told lunch service was over and the a la carte dinner started at 6 (which we needed a reservation for). Poolside has a few snacks which the bar guy was lovely enough to offer me and i was grateful for, but would have been livid if i had to pay for it as it was nothing more than a dry breadroll with a slice of cheese and also pretty rubbish if thats all on offer outside of set mealtimes. We had just landed and didnt want to go hunting for food in the town so just bear this is mind. - room was only cleaned once during our 3 night stay. I dont mind reusing towels but floor and bathrooms should be cleaned. I guess we could have requested a clean which we didn’t. - “beach” in front of hotel is not a beach but a ***** of mud with some sunloungers. Not the hotels fault I suppose but can’t really advertise it as such. Nicer beach few minutes away for public that we used. Overall we were happy with our stay and would come again, but some areas of improvement needed which made me feel this is more a 4* and not a 5*.
