Very nice hotel. Food was a bit boring though and would have liked to have seen more choices of food as was basically same every night.

Did not like to have to queue for drinks as this was time consuming.

Entertainment was really good on Fridays but really poor, or shall I say non existant on other days but really good during the days around the pool.

I travelled to this hotel not knowing much about it at all, and when I got there I was worried by the fact there were not many English families there at all. However, a couple of days into the holiday and by the time we relaxed we started to enjoy the company of all nationalities.

Everyone was kind and friendly. The animation team were brilliant they made my holiday they had time for everyone and catered to the nationality of 4 different countries.

At first me and my family were reluctant to join in with entertainment and activities but with a little encouragement from the animation team became famous faces around the hotel. Tthe animation team helped us relax and enjoy our holiday. They were amazing.

The only complaint I have about the holiday was the food. There was an ok selection if you liked chips every night of the week and you very rarely got your food piping hot but the resttaraunt staff were also excellent. No job was to much for them. They had alot of manners.

The location of the hotel was really isolated but it didn't matter as you had enough things to do in the hotel to keep you occupied I was very sad to go home I even shed a tear. I would like to thank staff who really stood out to make our holiday as memorable as it was (Mikallis(pool bar)Costa(taverna)Billy, Baboo, Nemo, Pino and Rosie(animation team).

This is our third visit over the years to the Blue Bay hotel,our room was excellent clean and very spacious with wonderfull sea and pool view.

The resturant had been rennovated since our last visit the food and surroundings were much better although the childrens menu could have been a little more varied.

The location of the hotel is wonderful ie being almost on the beach.

The bar staff Costas, Jacob and others were wonderfull to us and our children.

As for the animation team Billy, Jimmy , Lenka, Lolita, Pino were brilliant they really make your holiday , trying to get everyone involved if they want to during the day and at nightime. Our children loved the daytime activities.

This is really the perfect holiday for us as some of us like to just relax beside the pool whereas others like to get involved in every activity possible.So everyone is happy.

Just got back from Blue Bay with my girlfriend and daughter.

We stopped all inclusive and if your not picky and open minded the food is spot on lots of choice apart from the kids meal where its either chips and nuggets or chips and fish fingers but my daughter will eat anything (just like her dad) so she was happy.

The location is spot on for families as its away from the noisy bars and clubs yet only a taxi ride away from all other attractions like Rhodes town and lindos (we highly recommend old Rhodes town)

The beach is shingle so take sea shoes once in the sea its very warm (unlike the pools in the hotel) and very salty if like us you get a room over looking the sea its a beautiful view every morning looking over the resort and the beach and pools.

Now lets get to the entertainment the animation team are excellent Billy and Jimmy are the 2 funniest guys I've ever met and there like it 24/7 there

the blue bay was good . i went with my mom dad and brother and friends .We had a fantastic time and the enternaiment was fantastic and the greeknight was amasing.we all cried when we left.jimmy billy and lenka are brill WE MISS THEM ALL!!!!

Just got back from two fantastic weeks. We went with our friends Ken, Marie, Nick & Alex. None of us wanted to leave we all had a brilliant time.

The location of this hotel was great only fifteen minutes from the airport. Beware planes going overhead most of the day, it didn't bother us though you got used to it, don't let it put you off.

The hotel was very spacious and of a high standard. The room we stayed in was very comfortable, we liked the fact that the boys had a seperate sleeping area. Towels were changed every day except Sunday, the room was always cleaned even if you had a lie in which we did quite often. The hotel itself was very clean.

The food at this hotel was excellent... There was a different choice every day. There was always something for the children. Snack bar could have been a bit more varied though. The drinks were great as much as you liked.

The hotel staff were friendly enough and did speak good english. Barmen were very nice always had time to say hello. Waiters were nice and worked very hard.

I thought I would leave the best til last... the entertainment team, they were absolutely brilliant. They made our holiday especially Billy, Jimmy Matt and Lenka. There was entertainment all day and they did their own shows at night. Most of the time this included audience participation, but only if you wanted to, which we did. Got to do the Greek night saw Billy in a different light. Food was fantastic.

We all had a fantastic time here and would all definately go back, and would like to thank Billy, Jimmy, Matt, Lenka and all the other staff for making our holiday an unforgettable one. xxxxx

Spent a fortnight at Blue Bay and it was the worst holiday of our lives.

The main pool was 8 foot deep and not clean, a poor little English boy actually drowned while we were there, after this accident they put up notices about no lifeguards on duty.

The food was so bad we actually stopped going to the restaurant and bought our own food. The restaurant also was full of flies and they were crawling all over the food and plates. Example of a dessert was a chopped up banana that had sat there for hours it had turned dark brown, and who chops up bananas!

The entertainment team tried for the Germans and not the English.

The kids club only had 1 child in it and it was mine, when I went to check on her, the supposed entertainer was ironing her uniforms, and my daughter was colouring a mickey mouse picture, she was nine not four!

The only bar actually in the hotel itself was a pay bar for the all inclusive drinks you had to walk to the bar near the beach.

The pools were really cold and you could not see your feet in the shallow end because they were that dirty. So bad in fact my husband caught an ear infection from the dirty water.

The entertainment was the same every night with the same people doing it and at times it was quite rude. No outside acts were brought into the hotel. There were so few English people at the hotel some nights the commentary was done in every language except English.

Travelled with First Choice spent

We have just returned from this resort. Basically Blue Bay is a complex of hotels, including from what we could make out, two others on site. Our room was a family room on the third floor. We had a separate bedroom and the children had sofa beds. Two balconies with a spectacular sea view and a decent bathroom. There's a fridge and hairdryer and air conditioning though the latter only operates part time. Electricity is powered by putting your key fob in a slot inside the door but a piece of cardboard can be left in there all day if like us you take battery chargers which need to be left on during the day. Cleaners came daily, apart from Sunday, but the bins were emptied even on Sunday. Always plenty of clean towels and bedding.

We were with First Choice and I believe this is their first year with the hotel so we may have had a better room because of that, if the hotel are keen to have First Choice's business.

First Choice did say there was a laundry room - they lied, there isn't, so take enough clothes for a fortnight. There is nowhere to dry clothes other than the railings over the balcony and it's a breezy resort so you could lose stuff! The breeze was good - we went to Lindos on a very hot day and it was stifling, so we really appreciated the breeze when we got back to the west of the island.

The hotel is nearer Kremasti than Ialyssos. A cab to Rhodes costs 9 euros. The bus is 1.70 adult, 1.20 child. There are some buses that go direct from the hotel, otherwise a short walk to the main road will find you at a bus stop where they run every 15-20 minutes or so. We found the cabs the best form of transport for all four of us though. For boat trips, walk along the harbour and book (be prepared to haggle) rather than use the tour operators tours, you'll save megabucks. Lindos cost us 45 euros by boat plus 18 euros cab fare, totalling 63 euros whereas First Choice wanted 93 euros.

Food was basic and not tremendously varied over the fortnight but there was plenty of it and enough choice for there to always be something even for my two fussy brats. Booze and soft drinks and ice cream were available as stated, also water which you can fill your bottles with, though bottled water is much cheaper (around 30 - 60 cents for a 500ml bottle) than it is here in the UK.

We used two of the available pools, also a third pool adjacent to the hotel which it turned out we weren't meant to use (whoops) and we were turfed out of. We bought lilos as we'd been forewarned that they charged for sunbeds, but towards the end of the holiday we used the sunbeds and were not asked for any money. The hotel also owns a small water park opposite the main hotel where we stayed. It's quite pricey, 18 euros adults, and 9 euros for children, which given that you can go to a huge one at Faliraki and pay 20 euros and 15 respectively, seems a bit daft. But it is on the doorstep so... it opened while we were there, and they may reduce the prices, given that it wasn't getting much custom.

I would be happy to return there, but doubt if I will, personally I prefer Turkey and find the people friendlier and things generally cheaper - at least until they too join the EU - but otherwise it was a good holiday. You are on the flightpath for incoming aircraft but it really wasn't a problem - the planes are low and quite noisy but they didn't wake us at night even when we had the patio doors open. The entertainment staff were excellent and worked really hard. All in all an excellent family holiday.

We travelled to this hotel in anticipation after reading the reports on the web. We were pleasantly surprised.

The hotel could not have been cleaner.

The food was great, never once did we have to go out and buy food.

The location suited us down to the ground. We were one of a few hotels in a quiet area, it was fantastic.

Hotel staff were both friendly and helpful.

Entertainment was fantastic. The animation team work very hard to make sure every body has fun and they manage to do so terrifically.

We had a great holiday at this hotel our only complaint was our room. It was one of the rooms outside the main hotel and certainly not what we expected. If we were to go here again I would insist on a room within the hotel as they seem to be of better standard.

The food here was excellent, plenty of choice each day and plenty of everything,we really enjoyed it. Each night there was great entertainment for all ages.

My only advice to anyone booking here is to check which type of room you are being allocated, once you have done this you will have a great hoilday!
