just arrived back from the blue bay had a great time, the hotel is very very dated but also very clean food in the main restaurant was excellent but the snack bar was not very good at all same old cheese pies cucumber and tomatoes everyday (yuk) most staff were friendly enough. If you are a beach lover go elsewhere not very good very pebbly and not to clean we just spent most days around the pool area which was very clean.The entertainment was very german orientated did not try to cater for english people at all whilst we were there i woould say there was about 4 families who were english the rest were dutch or german (oh and by the way they were very very rude to all the english guests i spoke to).
The hotel although very old fashioned and in need of total refurbishment was spotless as was our rooms towels changed everyday bedding every other day and maid service was everyday also.

When we got to the resort we were told it was over booked and we would be staying in a different hotel! I think we had the better deal but we did not hear any complaints from the people staying there, only about having to pay for sun beds, we did not have to pay for ours in the hotel we were put in. (we only used the hotel we were put in as a base we came to the main hotel for all our food and drink).
The parts of the hotel we did see were very well kept and clean.(apart from the toilets along the corridor leading to the disco take a peg with you if you use them)!
The food was fine always something to eat in the main restaurant and at the snack bar, you will not go hungry! Always lots of choice maybe not for children though unless they like chips which are available all the time.
You do get alot of aircraft going over but this did not bother us at all we just had a stiff neck at the end of the week because we were watching them all go over!
All the hotel staff we dealt with were very friendly and helpful, the entertainment was very funny could become a bit repetative though. The animation team tried really hard and impressed us with their ability to speak in so many different languages so no-one felt as if they were not being included. Even though our children were not with us we got involved in the childrens section of the evening - we even bought the CD at the end of the week! We also watched them during the day and thought they were very good.
We did not go to the Greek Night but would of done if we had taken the children just for the experience.
We want to go away next year for two weeks with our children and we would not rule this hotel out.

Upon arrival to the hotel we were told by the male receptionist that we would be spending the week at the new section of Blue Bay hotel. This hotel was located approximately 100 metres from the main Blue Bay hotel, this was actually a lie as the hotel was not connected with the blue bay in any way and was self catering.(overbooked i suspect!)
The standard of food at the main hotel is poor, but if you travel to the blue bay sunlounge hotel the food is above average.
Never eat in the main blue bay building resturant!
We met a few english guests who were staying at the main blue bay building, all of which had requested a move to an alternative hotel via there holiday reps, only 1 was sucessful!
If your idea of entertainment is to see grown men dressed up as woman and babie's with nappies on. Then you will be at home here, if not as myself you will leave taking your children in a hurry to your hotel room as the daily evening entertainment is constantly of the animation team dressing up as the opposite sex.
On my visit there were a lot of Germen and Dutch people who i found generally to be rude to both staff and patrons alike.
I would not recommend this Hotel to anybody with impressionable kids.
The constant barrage of airplanes flying overhead make you appreciate the quiet when you arrive home. That is unless you leave in Heathrow Airport.

The hotel is basic, but clean and safe, with the rooms being cleaned every day, with a change of bed linen.
You do have airplanes flying overhead, as you are close to the airport, but they seem to have set times during the day that they appear (on some days there are hardly any)plus you tend to ignore them after a while.
The food was very good, but I would imagine a little boring for children. I was more that happy myself and I particularly enjoyed the live cooking station every evening.
The staff were pleasant and the entertainment team were fantastic. I think they were trying their hardest to make up for the aircraft noise and some of the team members seemed to have limitless energy and enthusiasm. Plenty of activities during the day and the evening's entertainment was enjoyable but maybe a little "risque". Parental control is a must! Billy and his team were terrific.
Would definately go again.

me and my family enjoyed and fantastic all inclusive holiday. our rooms were cleaned every day, the towels were also changed everyday and the bed sheets. i thought the food was brilliant but didnt really cater for children that well. the location of the hotel was a bit secluded but the was a local bus service and taxis were also available. me and my family travelled to rhodes town centre via the bus and that was an experince! i've never seen so many people on one bus. the hotel staff were very friendly. i've got to hand it to billy and the rest of the animators, they were amazing. there was something for everybody to do. the aqua aerobics, aqua volley ball, aqua polo etc were excellent and even if you didn't join in it was amusing to watch. i would deffinately go to this hotel again without a doubt!!

Blue Bay is brilliant! We had the best time ever..we really did. The hotel cleanliness was brilliant, we had clean towels & bed linen every day, all the staff were happy & friendly especially Andres who was our favourite manager!!! We are really missing all the animators already and we have only been back a day, a big thanx to Sammy, Jimmy, Mikey, Chico & Terri. You really made our holiday. There was always something going on. There was no need to leave the complex everything you needed was right there. Although we have lived pretty much on chips for the past fortnight the food really asn't all that bad, there was always something even for the fussiest of eaters. The entertainment was excellent and the disco was wicked. We would go back tomorrow if we could.

For a 3* hotel we didnt really expect to share our bathroom with a colony of ants! When we emptied the bath or the sink the water would come back up a drain in the floor. It smelled quite bad and had horrible greeny brown tiles! The view from our balcony was of the hotel across the road. And every morning the rubbish trucks were being loaded and beer deliverys were directly below us making one hell of a racket! The room was very basic, however, we did have air con which was greatly appreciated!
I think the rooms on the higher floors were much better because other people we spoke to at the resort had no complaints so watch out for the ground floor rooms tucked behind reception! Bad news.
The food was fantastic i must admit! what a great selection! Something for everyone!
Apart from our room, the rest of the hotel was lovely yet a bit dated and also very clean.

Me and my partner Lee went on holiday to the Blue Bay resort as well as many others, and i wasnt very happy with the service there, i mean the food was good i sopose! the entertainment was aload of pants, the maids were great we even made friends with one of them :) the receptionist's were helpfull they tryed there best, but medhotel rep was no good at all she wouldnt let two women coming back to the airport ready for flying back home, on the coach because she lost there vouture and promised to get back to them apart from that we had a good time we also got advised not to go on the scooters, but we did and nothing happend, the disco was great no old music all new range sounds, but very expensive. I dont think we would go back to this acommodation again.

I couldn't fault this place at all. My 5 yr old son and myself have just come back from a wonderful weeks holiday. Our room was cleaned every day, the hotel staff were polite and efficient and the entertainment team (The Animators) were fantastic. They kept us entertained all day around the pool with aqua aerobics, water volleyball etc and then hosted the childrens disco come the evening followed by adult entertainment. The meals were buffet style anbd I enjoyed it all. My only niggle would maybe be that there wasnt a huge choice for children eg. sausages or maybe pizza. There is aircraft noise but we didnt find it a problem and the beach is shingle but we stayed round the pool. Thoroughly enjoyed it and wiil hopefully return later in the year.

we stayed in the blue bay resort which i must say from the both of us this has been the best holiday we have had so far.cleanlines wasnt all that bad considering the amount of people the hotel caters for. i enjoyed the food but anna didnt mainly due to it sometimes being cold,but again the hotel is catering for many people. we have suggested a microvave for future!the entertainment was in our eyes far more thn excellent for adults and children. various activities throughout the day, disco for kids at night. we actually met paulla who has commented above and we agree billy was great aye! no seriously if you have kids and you like fun try it. the staff are more than friendly, i even had a barmaid collect flowers from a shop and bring them back!(she wasnt even working)
