Reviews for Island Blue Hotel
Review 1:The facilities weren't just reserved for guests and outsiders could use them as well.
Review 2:Fantastic hotel in a great location. Perfect for peace and quiet but only a few minutes walk from all the action. Lovely modern clean rooms. Great food and reasonably priced. Attentive staff. Plus an Adult only swimming pool.
Review 3:Only criticism is that there were a couple of large groups there for weddings and unfortunately 'took over' pool and pool area. They were very noisy and weren't very considerate to other guests. They were allowed to continue with their noisy antics to the detriment of couples and families around.
Review 4:Everything about the hotel except the comment about what we didn't like.
Review 5:No free Wi-Fi in rooms, payed Wi-Fi is expensive. Resort is very large, lot of people - not optimal for those looking for cosy family-owned environment.
Review 6:Very spatious room. Clean and modern. Nice pools, also very clean. Very kind staff. Extreme variety for breakfast, also very good food.
Review 7:Stayed here in August 15 as part of my wedding party of 80+. Staff are exceptional and could not have done anymore. Can't wait to return Callum Hall
Review 8:No bath in the room was difficult with a young baby and the staff at the pool bar were incredibly rude.
Review 9:Loved the rooms and pool area and great location
Review 10:The bar staff at the island blue pool were too busy and this impacted on the service. The bartender and waitress were not very friendly as they were just too busy. Another staff member would of lessened their workload.
Review 11:2 bedroom apartment was well equipped and of good size. Downstairs patio was ideal for a family of four.
Review 12:We didnt stay long enough !
Review 13:Everything,the food,facilities,it was clean and well looked after,it was well located for walking out to see the local town.
Review 14:Nothing
Review 15:Immaculate property and grounds. Beautiful setting. Helpful staff who go above and beyond and have a personal touch with their guests. Visited many times and won't hesitate to return.
Review 16:Perhaps a little more entertainment around the pool but to be truthful the sister hotels did provide some but perhaps did not realise till too Late.
Review 17:Everything was perfect for our family stay. Especially the room size and cleanliness of the hotel. The room service eg cleaning was superb and friendly
Review 18:My only grudge would be the staff at the spa were very rude and made me feel very uncomfortable when I had my hair done and I went a few times
Review 19:From the moment we arrived we were looked after a buggy appeared to take us to our room with the luggage. Breakfast was amazing so clean you could eat your breakfast of the floor! Pool bars great food very cheap .sunbeds were a nightmare have to get up early to fight for a bed loved hotel lots
Review 20:High quality hotel with relaxed attentive style. A beautiful pool area with lots of sun beds, great food and fantastic staff. Location was close to beach and great choice of restaurants to suit all tastes and hotel was an excellent base to explore the island. Highly recommended!
Review 21:The lack of sun beds on the beach. Not enough mug ,glassware etc for the amount staying in the apartment.
Review 22:The pool area was very clean, with enough sun beds for guests. Staff very friendly and helpful.
Review 23:Loved this place. Such a fantastic welcome from all staff , incredibly helpful. Beautiful setting and fab apartment. Couldn't have asked for more for our two week stay with teenage kids.
Review 24:This hotel is osrt of a complex of other hotells inder the same company so frends that couldnt get a room here could still stay in the same place. Loved the spa, the girls were great, brillian hair nails and massage!
Review 25:Nothing - happy with everything
Review 26:We were all really impressed with the apartment, especially (with 2 teenagers) the 2 bathrooms! Breakfast was fantastic, loads of choice and really good quality. All staff were friendly and welcoming, and everywhere was really clean.
Review 27:The only complaint was the shower is very easy to knock onto hot by accident and the water is so hot it will burn you. Several people said the same thing but this is only a minor problem.
Review 28:I was only here 3 nights for a wedding and my stay was excellent from start to finish. Polite friendly staff, clean rooms, excellent food. Very good value for money.
Review 29:Other hotel guests can use the pool which should be stopped as there always seemed to be a scramble for sunbeds. Cost of hiring the safe in the room was extortionate.
Review 30:Room was clean and spacious with great views. Pool area was fantastic
Review 31:It was clean. Staff friendly and polite. More than we had expected it was our first stay there. Wecwent to celebrate our friends renewing their vows and wasn't disappointed. We will definitely return. Possibly with our grown ip children and our grandchildren.
Review 32:Far to hilly for my wheelchair as everyday at go up and down the hill to have breakfast and if you wanted anything shop it was nightmare never again will i go to this hotel only went for wedding which was ok
Review 33:Food was ok swimming pool was ok
Review 34:We came from an 'all inclusive' hotel to Island Blue & the difference was amazing! New apartment style room, staff were so helpful & friendly, great location - just beautiful!! Would recommend to all!! Also must visit restaurant Philosophia near the beach!!
Review 35:From the Snack and dinner menu, the food was hit or miss, would recommend you wander to other restaurants.
Review 36:Very clean, and most staff were excellent. Breakfast very good, and pool bar staff very friendly.
Review 37:Fantastic hotel in a great location - we are beach lovers so it was perfect for us! We travelled in October and it was nice and quiet but can imagine it would be much busier and maybe not for us in high season.
Review 38:The room we stayed in had a kitchenette, it would have been good if the hotel had provided a small dish cloth and bottle of washing up liquid so that washing the dishes was made easier.
Review 39:Visited Island blue before and it is even better now. The staff are extremely friendly, especially at the pool bar. There's a huge selection of things to choose from for breakfast: continental, English, Greek, cereal etc. so it's worth going bed and breakfast. And the supermarket attached to the complex has everything else you may need. Rooms are cleaned daily and the bed was the comfiest ever (I think they have invested in really good mattresses this year). We loved the fact we could get a courtesy room to shower in on the last day, instead of paying to keep our room for an extra 3 hours! There was a wedding every night we were there - must be wedding season! - we could see the hotel really valued the families who were there for the wedding and made sure the day was special. It was also a bonus to be able to watch from your balcony the ceremony and wedding pictures being taken!
Review 40:Fried eggs for breakfast were rubbery. The pool was very cold. Generally the room was clean but our balcony glass and handrail had not been cleaned for 10 days, also taps in bathroom and mirrors were dirty.
Review 41:Location good. Room lovely and staff very helpful. Breakfast was good, plenty of choice, and dinner in restaurant was excellent. Hotel public areas and gardens were kept immaculate.
Review 42:I liked the location, near a beach, near lot of restaurants and bars. 10 min ride by car to Lindos. very quite area, great breakfast- eggs. beacon, potatoes, cheese, cakes, exc. We ate at the evening in the hotel restaurant- was very tasty not expensive.
Review 43:Tacky entertainment at night Need to walk far and down steep steps to beach- not convenient for young children The closest street is very run down and shabby- you dont feel like your in greece No atmosphere around resort to create holiday feeling- animation/ music Targeted to British tourists (98%) All awards are from Thompson travel and presume the hotel has a strong relationship with this agent No atmosphere around pool Cut our stay short, put a big downer on our trip For the premium price they should have a nicer breakfast- like crepes and omlettes made on the spot
Review 44:Big and clean modern rooms Supermarket adjoining was reasonably priced and good variety
Review 45:The hotel shouldnt allow guests to reserve sun loungers with towels. There are plenty of beds without having to be selfish.
Review 46:The staff went out of their way to help and were always friendly. The hotel has a good standard of facilities and is well positioned, close to the beach and the restaurants which meant you could walk everywhere. The numerous pools which were kept very clean and welcoming were busy but we were always able to find a suitable spot. Our room facilities were better than we were expecting with the second bedroom having an en-suite. The room was also kept very clean.
Review 47:I loved everything about the hotel from the staff being friendly and helpful, Elia restaurant manager was very friendly, Maria and the rest too. I would recommend this hotel to everyone.
Review 48:leaving....!
Review 49:a big Thank You to all the staff who I felt gave their utmost to ensure our stay was the best it could be. In particular, to Evi and Stergos who ran the Elmyra pool bar, and who were always friendly and charming, even when things got busy :o)
Review 50:- Late start of the breakfast (7.30) which is not convinent for the daily excursion travellers (coaches are leaving the resort typically earlier in order to catch the ships at Rhodes port) - No variety of the drinks at the breakfast (e.g just 2 types of tea filters) - Beach side is very thin (better to say not really existing for so many people of this and 2 other hotels which it is shared), however there is free long but not wide at all (3-10 metres) free sandy cost line available for the general public
Review 51:- The room is extremely comfortable and well-equipped - The breakfast is reach in all sense considering the meals - The staff was very helpful in general - Pools are very modern and nice place to stay, even the pool bar's price are quite reasonable - Every basic you need is available at the hotel complex's own supermarket until midnight - Pefki is not so charmy as a village, but being quite central positioned geographically a good place for explorer (either small places in middle of the island, or to Lindos even daily which is a real pearl of the island located very close).
Review 52:Nothing ... everything was good
Review 53:Liked lots ... lovely restaurant, breakfast buffet couldn't ask for more and evening meal experience attentive with good food. Quality of accommodation very good and perfect spot on the complex.
Review 54:Greek night which was at the hotel was very poor. If you want go to Faliraki!
Review 55:The room, the beach, the hotel was very good and also very clean. The workers were also very kind.
Review 56:The food, the location,the staff,the room,immaculate room, cleaneddailey ,will use again and again. And the breakfast, is surly to diefor. I am still dreaming of it every morning.RECOMMENDED
Review 57:We spent there 1 week in middle of July! I'm pretty sure Island Blue Hotel Pefkos is one of the best hotels in Rhodes! Very well located!Pefkos is a very nice and clean village. Whole hotel is always realy clean, sunumbrellas and pools are available. Our room (141-family apartment) was confortable and with good equipment. We had two bathrooms and nice terrace near the largest pool, front of little chapel. But what we really enjoyed is the very professional crew in every place at the hotel. Staff was excellent! Recepcionists, housekeeping, restaurant crew are top of all. Greek night strongly recommended!It's not a 3 stars hotel, for me seems 4stars superior. Singer in the bar has a very good voice!Thanks and congratulations for whole hotel crew!
Review 58:Upon arriving, it was recommended to us to keep our belongings in thehotel room safe. However, in order to use the safe, we had to pay about20 eur for the five nights! Also, if you would like to use the wireless,you would need to pay 30 eur for 3-4 days. To weight your luggage at thereception, you would also need to pay few euros. Needless to say thatthey tried to get money on every opportunity which made the stay at thehotel not very pleasant. Considering the price of 130 eur we paid forthe room per night, we found it inappropriate to charge additionally forsuch services.On Sunday, they organized Greek night so we booked a table. The buffet was served with half an hour delay and the food was cleaned within an hour - no real chance to grab a plate second time! Before even taking a seat on our table, they asked us to pay the charge of 17 EUR per a person for the buffet, they treated us like we are going to run away without paying. Further, they were in a hurry to clean the plates from the table and we could not even finish our dinner. The waitress was coming every 10 min to take our plate even thought we still had food - and that is in the middle of the entertainment program. Overall, we found the staff in the restaurant rude and had the feeling that they were trying to make the guests leave earlier.
Review 59:The hotel room was very clean. Most of the rooms have view to the pooland the yard. The breakfast was very good and the reception staff wasfriendly. The beach is just 5-10 min walk. There are few pools andbars/ restaurants within the resort.
Review 60:No complaints about the property except that I wish that there was more Greek music playing around the property. Not crazy about the town of Pefkos (five minute walk from hotel) - full of cheap restaurants and not very interesting shops. No culture whatsoever, unless you count the generic "Greek nights" with prix fixe meals and dance show.
Review 61:Spacious, modern and very clean rooms. Beautifully landscaped property. Many swimming pools. Lots of choices on breakfast buffet, but heavily biased towards English tastes (beans, grilled tomatoes, sausages). I liked the local honey, home made preserves & yogurt assortment. Short walk to beach, and plenty of chairs w/ umbrellas. Convenient & reasonably priced grocery store on premises. This is a lovely property for those wanting a resort vacation.
Review 62:The Island Blue is an excellent hotel is a good location on the outskirts of Pefkos. The staff are outstanding and nothing is too much trouble, the food in the restaurant is good and the staff attentive. The Swimming pools are also excellent, The poolbars are good and again the staff are excellent.
Review 63:We liked everything. The venue, location, staff, hotel, the lot. We had a wonderful time. Would definitely look to return with no issues.
Review 64:I thought the breakfast was poor. Not a great selection at all.
Review 65:The staff couldn't have been more helpful. Lovely pools and nearby restaurants.

Review 82:Going home.
Review 83:Lovely.close beach.very relaxing .great.staff.lovely food
Review 84:Was pleasantly surprised with our stay .. best stay I've had .. this hotel is spotless
Review 85:Was rather on the expensive side, which is the only thing putting us off coming again
Review 86:Location, was excellent for all amenities
Review 87:there was a nasty bug going around which was a pity - but didnt spoil the hol.
Review 88:great rooms and layout near the pools. lovely restaurant and people.
Review 89:Room (two bedroom), pools (plenty!)
Review 90:Very good location, and very friendly staff always willing to help.
Review 91:Just excellent all round
Review 92:We paid for internet for our room and couldn't get any reception. They the only 4-5 star hotel in a 3 week vacation where we both had to pay for internet and then couldn't get reception. They definitely need to upgrade their facilities and for the caliber of facility, simply stop nickel and diming for internet. This would maybe fly 10 years ago when internet first came out but cool not in our current era.
Review 93:Love the spacious rooms, the cleaning staff were always good to do our dishes for which we always tipped generously, the breakfast was great and the pool & pool side bars were delightful.
Review 94:No negative points!
Review 95:Loved the spacious rooms and large balcony and great view of the pool and the sea beyond! Staff were polite and welcoming. Could not fault this lovely hotel.
Review 96:A warm welcome awaited us from the staff and a choice of a cold juice drink or water. All the staff were courteous and spoke perfect English. A choice of many pools with bar and snack facilities.Several restaurants on site, beautiful surroundings a perfect getaway for all.
Review 97:-british music by the pool -no treats at the room while ariving -long distance from the beach
Review 98:The hotel has 4 amazing pools- the one next to the restaurant is amazing. The staff at the restaurant is very friendly. The food is really good,we enjoyed the breakfast & the greek night every sunday, it's really recommended -nice concept- by the pool, nice show, nice band & good greek food. It's not near the beach, you need to walk something like 60 steps and it's bit hard. but if you desire in nice pools & quiet and don't mind to walk to the beach so you'll find this place very comfortable. they don't have double beds so take it in advance, but the room is quite big. we were not treated with nothing which was a bit disappointing (not even fruits). and another point, most of the hotel occupied by english people. something like 95%. it doesn't bothered us too much except the facts that the breakfast is a very english and the music by the pool is mainly english pop and not greek. so if you desire in a more authentic place you should consider twice.
Review 99:Placing towels early to avoid not getting sun-beds during peak season.
Review 100:Excellent quality of general service, facilities, large rooms and maid service. Retention of great staff noted in previous visits and addition of polite, hard working new staff. Great pool areas that are kept very clean. Inclusive air-con and good breakfast selection. Beautifully designed buildings and layout with well maintained gardens. Availability of two bedroom apartments.
Review 101:Still not sorted out sun bed issues that existed last year too. We were there when huge wedding parties took over the pool area. We couldn't get beds after they arrived and not all were staying at Island Blue.
Review 102:fantastic staff and rooms. Our second visit with older teens. Having 2 en suite bedrooms within the one apartment is ideal for us.
Review 103:The only negative point: if you like to spend your day on the beach and not by the swimming pool, you have to pay for the sun beds (8 euros per day for 2 sunbeds and one umbrella).
Review 104:Everything. The staff was extremely friendly, the rooms were very spacious and with very modern and tasty design. The 4-bed room we had had also two bathrooms. Although we didn't use it, there is a fully equipped kitchen. The breakfast was buffet, very varied and of very good quality. The pool is very nice; our kids loved it. The beach is fantastic, one of the best of the island. The hotel is not far from the magnificent Lindos and Saint Paul’s beach, fairly considered to be the best beach of the island.
Review 105:Nothing.
Review 106:The hotel was realy lovely. We had an amazing time,relaxing by the pool.pefki is much more friendly and accomodating than the oldtown in Rhodes. Just beautiful.
Review 107:No complaints!
Review 108:Island Blue has the friendliest staff and is the cleanest hotel we've ever experienced. Night-time entertainment was great fun and we really enjoyed our stay.
Review 109:Certain reception staff had a poor response to customer needs. Bar prices in main bar excessively high. Hot water set dangerously hot.
Review 110:Air con.
Review 111:Room size and pool
