Blue Marine Resort & Spa

We enjoyed a week at the hotel . Food was good, staff were helpful when asked but not proactive. We had issues with our booking due to the manager being sacked which was bad timing for us and there were obvious difficulties for staff although they tried their best. Room was clean but somewhat worn. Definitely no where near 5 stars, a fair assessment would be 3 stars. Entertainment in the evening was none existent on Sunday when we had been looking forward to the Greek night which had been advertised all week and then cancelled about an hour before it was due to start. Table tennis room was horrendous with graffiti and peeling paint it looked like an old bus shelter. Children's club was also very dour and I would not have liked to leave a child in there , no reflection on staff just surroundings. Beach and pool area were very nice. The loungers were reserved with towels! This should not be allowed as some were left on the same loungers overnight for days. We did enjoy our stay as we got a reasonable deal but don't pay much or you will be disappointed. Also lots of steps and steep ramps so it could be difficult for buggies , childrenand older people.

Very nice hotel and clean. Nice pool area, kids area and wifi coverage through hotel. Good varied food menu and will help make items for toddlers Reasonably priced spa Nice bar on 3rd floor Slight improvement that could be made: Expand drinks menu More sun loungers needed (we went off peak yet all the sun lounger had guest reserving them with their towels from the morning, even if it says not to) Expand gym equipment improve evening shows, when it rains (currently shows get cancelled when it has rained at any point in the day)

The view is amazing. Make sure you get a Seaview room or better yet a Seaview junior suite with a jacuzzi. My fiance and I would watch the sunrise while enjoying our morning coffee in the jacuzzi. The pool area is nice, although the pool isn't heated so if it's not summer it may be chilly for some people. I didn't mind it though. The food in the ala carte restaurants was overall fantastic other than a couple disappointing dishes. The staff and service was really good. We had a few problems our first night that really worried us, but after talking to the management, they really made a huge effort to improve our experience and the rest of our stay was great. Now for the bad part. The majority of the food in the main restaurant buffet is really bad. If you want good food, the buffet will upset you. For breakfast you're safe with fruit, yogurt, toast, and the omelette bar, but most of the other hot bar items are terrible. For the dinner buffet, you're safe with the salad bar items, but the hot bar items and most of the desserts were awful. I guess maybe that's a common thing with all inclusive resorts, they put effort into the ala carte food, but skimp on the quality of the buffet foods. The complimentary wine and beer is very poor quality. Also the drinks at the bars are mostly disappointing because instead of real juice for mixers, they uses syrup concentrates. If you want better quality drinks either buy a bottle of nicer wine from the restaurant or go into town.

Nice hotel close to the beach, staff was top notch, the head waiter went so far as to order special Ice Cream for our Daughter that can’t eat any protein or milk products. The rooms are dated but it makes up for it by the pool side with plenty of seats to spare. The drinks aren’t top shelf but if your not a big drinker then who cares. It’s a good mix of family and couples enjoying this location.
