Staff makes this place so wonderful. It is a very decent hotel, not fancy but very good. Staff seem to be genuinely interested and happy to see you.

The pictures are misleading, and they don’t show the room you get until you arrive there. We also for a suite, and they gave us a ground floor room in front of the common pool area, and with a bedroom window view to next doors balcony sitting area. We asked for another room and they didn’t have one of our category. So we were downgraded. We decided to leave the next day. They were not giving money back.horrible experience. It’s 3star hotel with a pool at its best. Breakfast was also limited.

Lovely hotel but not beachfront
Lovely hotel situated on clifftop with spectacular views from every aspect . Our room was a superior double which was smaller than we expected but we had everything needed to enjoy our holidays . The bathroom was very nice with very large bathtub and shower with lots of complimentary toiletries ! Towels were changed daily and bedding every two days ! Staff especially in the restaurant and bar were really helpful and friendly . The setting is so peaceful and tranquil a perfect place to chill and relax . A few things to note - this is not a beachfront hotel situated 660 meters from center of Afitos - there are 170 steps down to the beachfront and the climb back up was horrendous in the heat . The beach is not very nice , we found much nicer beaches nearby . The walk into Afitos took us 30 minutes- I would recommend a taxi back after dark . Also the electric supply to the room is activated by putting your key card into the control slot at the door - when you leave the room there is no electricity to keep the fridge working , we spoke to reception who arranged a special key to leave in slot to keep fridge on whilst we were out . The hotel offers a transfer service to and from the airport , which they advised was a cost of €100 each way , we used our usual taxi firm who only charge €80 Euro each way and it turned out it was the same taxi the hotel uses for transfers ! Overall we enjoyed our holiday - we came home all chilled and relaxed

What a lovely place! Comfort and Service great.
What a lovely hotel. From check-in to check-out, the staff were top-rate. Professional, friendly, helpful in terms of what was expected of us to be COVID compliant, and responsive to issues - just the one; the hot water in the bathroom was barely warm. Possibly a function of wanting a shower/bath at the same time or just after everyone else, but not what was expected in a hotel of this calibre and in this price-range. Mentioned it to the lady at check-in and she sent an engineer to check immediately. Unfortunately this did not sort out the problem. I mentioned it again at check-out and got the impression that it would be looked into. Breakfast was an excellent selection but as is the case with nearly every 'hot' buffet I have experienced, the cooked food was invariably barely even luke-warm. The rest of the selection made up for it. The pool area was just delightful. The pool was sparkling clean and every time someone left a sunbed/table, someone came and disinfected the area. Lovely deep mattresses on the sunloungers too! Our room was exactly as pictured in the advertising, with very comfy chairs on a shaded balcony. Fantastically comfortable bed too.

Amazing Greek Holidays
Great hotel overall, great location with stunning views, amazing service, very clean, almost everything was brand new in our room, stunning bathroom, amazing massage experience in the spa room, very nice breakfast and great facilities. The only thing that needs updated are the sun beds by the pools.

A solid choice with good amenities
Blue Bay is the most solid option in the Afytos region. Gorgeous views on the bay and beach, two nice swimming pools, one of which also with a view, overall good amenities. The hotel is not too huge or impersonal but big enough to be professionally run. Too bad that management continues to lack flexibility and relaxed manners when it comes to matters such as early check out even in the current slow post COVID period. Also no private beach or agreements with any of the existing ones. They are selling out their junior suites, big and bare, but pleasant.

One of the most pleasant locations in kassandra
Nicely located in the best stretch of coast in kassandra, the hotel offers scenic views on the bay and quality facilities. Rooms are well appointed providing good amenities. The pools are pleasant, the beach is within reach if you do not mind walking down the stairs. Overall, probably one of the most pleasant hotel accommodations in the area, in a quiet location far from the main road and close to downtown Afytos. On the negative, service is a little formal and keen on the normative side. In June the hotel caters for a rather sedate senior clientele from Northern Europe. Breakfast is ok, served in a scenic restaurant, service as strict as you can get (do not even try getting around the closing time and walking bare feet in the restaurant!)

It was good
Hotel is nice and clean. Breakfast is good but dinner can be better some days. Drinks at the bar are not good variety. We went when the weather wasn’t good so we had to stay in the hotel most of the time and there is not much to do. Not enough sunbeds around pools as people put their towels before they go for breakfast. Room was very good and clean.

Recent stay at Blue Bay
We had a short stay at Blue Bay which was very enjoyable. The hotel was lovely with extremely friendly and helpful staff. We would certainly recommend it to others. There were plenty of loungers around the two pools and the beach was a short steep walk away.

Great hotel, gorgeous beach and cute town
We stated here for a three day weekend in the middle of June, my boyfriend emailed ahead for a late check in and to up grade our room to an ocean view. They were very accommodating, we checked in around midnight and were given a gorgeous ocean view without extra charge, The hotel itself is great with two pool. The beach below is very nice with two different beach bars, with chairs and umbrellas. We ordered a few drinks and did not have to pay for the chairs. The walk down the stairs to the beach would be a little much if you had kids or were older... however, if you have a car you can drive to the beach below (on a dirt raod) or go to other close beaches. If you do not have a car, the walk into Afytos could be a little too much. We had a car so never did the walk but it was very warm and there is not a lot of shade on teh walk as well as it being a narrow road that I would nto want to walk along. I would recommend a car or calling a cab for trips into town. Afytos itself is gorgeous, with beautiful restaurants along the cliff and lots of fun stores with unique jewelry and fun sourveniers. A friend recommended to us to continue walking past the church in Afytos towards the water and to eat at one of the restaurants along the cliff. We did this two nights and it was gorgeous! Overall, this was a gorgeous town, and hotel and the water was great! I would go back in a heart beat.

Das Hotel liegt in Aussichtslage auf den Klippen oberhalb des Strandes. Eine Treppe führt dorthin. Zum schönen Dorf Afitos mit diversen Restaurants ist es etwa 500 m. Die Zimmer sind geräumig und modern. Sehr komfortabel und sauber. Die Mitarbeiter nett und zuvorkommend. Das Frühstück war das beste was wir bisher in Griechenland hatten. Wir waren sehr zufrieden!

Overordnet set var opholdet ganske udemærket - fint poolområde og fine værelser. Beliggenheden er meget øde, og vejene ud til de to nærliggende byer, er ret smal hvor bilerne kører meget stærk, så ikke noget at gå på om aftenen. Morgenmaden var ikke værd at tage med, meget kedelig og lav standard. Derudover oplevede vi selv, at det ikke var særlig nemt at få den rette hjælp vi søgte, så man er meget overladt til sig selv.
