This holiday is exactly what we both needed, after reading some very negative reports on the hotel we was wondering what we would end up in!!

On arrival the hotel staff were so helpful.

The room was exactly what we wanted very nice views from all angles.

I must say that the restaurant food was of a very particular taste. The Greek night which is held on a Tuesday night and that is highly recommended. Billy was remarkable very very good entertainment.

The staff on a whole were very good, Nicko's (pool bar) Mickos (cocktail bar) Catalina (cocktail bar) Billy and all the entertainment were so great and definitely know how to make a warm welcoming atmosphere!!

This holiday was great recommended to families and couples that are looking for a chilled out relaxing holiday needless to say enjoyable holiday.

TOP MARKS!!!!

What can I say? This was the most fantastic holiday ever!

The rooms are very basic - ours was bed, mirror, balcony with chairs and bathroom. (We were supossed to be in a better room but that was the fault of the holiday company not the hotel).

The view however, was fantastic, overlooking the sea with a view of the Turkish coastline. The maids were in every day, changing the towels and sheets, they were also lovely natured.

The food wasnt bad, I'll admit room for improvement, but it was nice with a variety of different diet needs and plenty of it. The drinks are locally produced but still lovely - I couldnt complain and i'm a fussy eater!

Location wise it is a bit out of the way in a quite area. There is a little village about 15 minutes walk down the beach which we loved and did nearly every day but if you're a person who likes nightlife then maybe it would be a bit quite, perfect for us though.

The staff were wonderful, extremely helpful and pleasent. The Animation team (entertainment) were amazing! So friendly and funny, the night entertainments was fabulous and the Tuesday Greek night is definately worth going to! The other shows were fantastic too providing for both families and the older ones of us. The animation staff themselves were lovely, Moo-moo, Nemo, Baboo and Billie were absoutely hilarious. I dont think i'll ever forget them (porbaby not as Im going back in October)! On there breaks and will talk to you at the bar, always ask how you are and live next to the hotel supermarket. (The hotel has 2 shops) But I cannot emphasize how much we thought the animation team were brill! With the activities during the day and the night entertainment it was fabulous. I won 2 x Bottles of Champagne and 50 Euro on the bingo!

There is aircraft noise and the planes do fly low but it is amazing to watch them and you sort of get used to them - I loved it! Guessing which one was coming next!

You do have to pay for sun lounges

Stayed in Sunland hotel sister hotel of Blue Bay Hotel.

Food in hotel very basic with not much variety and not hot. Eat at Blue Bay at least you will get hot meal. We stayed on ground floor so had quite a few insects and quite a lot of guests had horrible bites including our party. Drinks very basic and had to buy ours from supermarket.

Hotel is out in the sticks so if you wanted to see shops or sights you had to travel by bus or taxi. Staff in general were very friendly but cleaning could have been better.

The entertainment team put a lot of effort into their shows but there is no outside performers brought in. Parental discretion is advised. The greek night is a must and shows Billie in a new light.

If it had'nt been for the weather it could have been quite a bad week would not go back.

Hellas Hellas What can I say this was the best holiday we've all had'it was fantastic.

The entertainment made this holiday for us and of course non stop sunshine.

I was dreading going as I read some not so nice reports but we realy could not fault it. The staff were all very friendly and Billy Nemo Pino oshi and Lolita were excellent allways happy and friendly got you involed in all activities if you wanted to, I was in loads of them inc miss blue bay, the shows were great.

We stayed at Sunland/Blue bay which was fine no probs we were on the ground floor and didn't really get bothered with insects much very clean maid service was good clean towels and sheets everyday.

The hotel was lovely and clean staff always on top of everything. The resteraunt was nice food was ok meats and fish and pasta and lots of different salads my hubby dos'nt eat meat and enjoyed every meal could have had a wee bit more chicken dishes and kids meals though drinks ok we drank beer all the time not bad tasted worse.

We plan to go back next year. Overall exellent.

Our hotel room had been recently refurbished and was very nice. The room was clean and we had clean towels every day and bed linen changed at least twice during our week long stay. The hotels staff were very helpful especially the young lady with the short dark hair at reception. The cleaning ladies were very nice and helpful. The staff in the dining room were very efficient and cheerful.

As far as we are concerned the only down side to this hotel was the food. There was always something we could eat, however, the choice and presentation could be improved upon. The all day snacks were very poor, sandwiches with ham and cheese, cucumber, tomato, on ocassion pastry or pizza but only if you were quick. The afternoon tea was ok but the choice for cake was again very poor. we arrived at the beggining of the season and there were a few improvements as the week progressed.

This hotel appears to be undergoing a major refurbishment and the rooms on the top couple of floors seem to have been done. Not too sure about the rest of the hotel. The pool area is nice but the outside snack bar was still not operational when we left.

We cannot comment on the entertainment as we are not "late birds". There were a great many children at this hotel, so if you like a quiet time mabey this hotel is not for you.

All in all the price we paid reflects the quality of the holiday, You only get what you pay for and in this case it was true.

Beware of All inclusive drinks.... Only Vodka, Rum, Gin, Lager, Ouzo & Barcardi available. Previous All inclusive holiday have given us a much wider selection.

I don't drink fizzy drinks so finding a mixer was hard. The Orange Juice tasted awful - not like juice at all! You could only get bottled water between 10am and 6pm in a plastic cup. After that it was fizzy drinks or tap water! No fridge in room so you couldn't even buy water from the shop.

The hotel was very clean and our room was cleaned every day with clean sheets, towels etc - Thanks to the great maid.

I would visit Rhodes again but not this hotel. Entertainment was same each night. No live music no illusion shows no external entertainment at all. Just the same people jumping round on stage!

The male entertainers were too friendly and get a bit too friendly with a lot of guests - if you know what I mean! They want to get themselves down a clinic to get checked out!

We paid for our own drinks most of the week due to the dislike of the choice at the bar. Its a shame becuase the hotel itself and the location had so much potential to be great. Them penny pinching will get this hotel a bad name. Pools etc very nice.

Germans were very rude - not all of them but the majority of them went out of their way to be rude.

Maybe they should consider getting some decent soft drinks (juices) and having a wider selection of spirits.

We visited this hotel for a quiet week away!

Well, it

a total waste of money old and out dated hotel a holiday from hell!!! go to the bayside hotel it is brill and worth every penny avoid the blue bay hotel at all costs !!!!!

We chose this hotel because of the reviews from others on the internet. It was an excellent holiday, enjoyed by all 4 of us.
We booked 6 weeks prior and paid

Best holiday ever.

The animation team were fantastic and got everyone around the pool involved in sports, games and keep fit which meant we socialised with people we may never have spoken to otherwise.

Although the hotel was a little dated, it was clean and all the amenities were there. The food in the Blue Bay was edible but quite repetative however, we were allowed to use the facilities in the hotel around the corner called Sunland where the food was alot nicer and with a bit more choice.

The low flying aircraft was not as much of a problem as other reports had made out and did not, in no way cause us any distress during our stay at this hotel.

If you are a beach lover, this one aint for you as the beach is pebbles although the view from the bottom bar from the terrace overlooking the sea was lush, enjoyed a few beers down there on many occasion.

I personally found the German guests to be ill mannered and extremely rude, I never once heard them say please or thankyou for the good service received at the hotel.

Overall, we had a fab holiday and are keen to go again for a cheap break next year. It was well worth the money even for the drink alone.

Hello to everyone who met Rod and Lynda on the poolside (although Rod propped up Georges bar most of the time)!!

Big thanks to Billy and the rest of the animation team who participated in us having a brill time.
