THIS HOTEL SHOULD BE NAMED: SEWAGE SANDS Our two days at the Blue Sands Hotel were a total mess. The room smelled awful, and the staff treated us terribly. Do not stay here until they learn how to run a hotel and treat people with respect. Day One: The Awful Smell and The Rude Manager Our trip started with a ruined, sleepless night because of a terrible smell of human waste in our room from a broken pipe at the hotel. When the front desk opened at 9AM we spoke with the manager Mirela. Together we went to smell our room and she agreed it was bad, saying, "I’ve never smelled a room like this before, this is bad." They moved us to a new room, but that was the least they could do. A simple room change is not enough for such a horrible start to our vacation. They didn't even say sorry or offer our money back. When we asked for a refund, Mirela was very rude and laughed at us, saying she had "done more than enough." She acted like she didn't care at all about our terrible night. Day Two: Everything Broke The new room was just as bad. It had many problems: • The shower had no water pressure and no hot water. • The fridge leaked water all over the floor. • The air conditioner poured water down the wall, making a big puddle that soaked our luggage. To top it all off, we were supposed to check out at noon. But starting at 11:00 AM, staff kept banging on our door and calling us to make us leave quickly.

Beautiful hotel, excellent location on the beach. The local town is an hour hike over rocky terrain - enjoyable if you have the fitness level and the weather is good. BUT if you do not want to do the hike, there is very little public transport and the hotel charge 17 EUR each way! The journey takes 5 minutes in a car. The hotel should really have a free shuttle service running at regular intervals. 17 EUR feels like a ridiculous price for the journey and they charge it per room even if the journey is shared.

The hotel was great second time in Folengandros and really enjoyed the location, the hotel, the room and the area. Staff very friendly

We loved our stay here and would definitely come back !

Hotel on a hill overlooking the beach and the sea - beautiful location

Every thing was perfect and beautiful

Wow! Our stay at this hotel was wonderful! The place is so quiet and beautiful! The staff very friendly and overall an outstanding service! Breakfast was really great! Totally worth the visit!

Overall very good experience

Total relaxation by the sea. Perfect for chilling out in a picturesque Greek bay, with a few bars and restaurants nearby

Rooms and grounds are very clean. Staffing is very hospitable and accommodating. They definitely go the "extra mile" to ensure their guests have a wonderful experience. The Breakfast is outstanding in quality, service and selection.

One of the most beautiful places we have ever stayed in. Rooms were private and peaceful with gorgeous views of the serene, swimmable bay that was just outside. Lovely staff and lovely places to walk to. Highly recommend!

A beautiful location and great views of the hills and the sea. Lovely suite, very clean and great design throughout the hotel. The restaurant menu was a bit limited, international and expensive when compared to other local places. However, the breakfast was superb.

Blue Sands Resort is THE place to stay on Folegrandos! The location was perfect for us as it is situated on a beautiful beach, away from the hustle and bustle of Chora (the main town) but still close enough (45 minute walk, 5 minute drive) to the center of town. This makes the experience of staying there calming and serene while also offering easy access to the amenities of the town. There are a few restaurants around the hotel as well as at the hotel so you have everything you need. An incredible breakfast spread is provided every morning on the beautiful terrace overlooking the ocean - sublime! The staff are very professional and friendly and will provide you everything you need. The rooms are immaculately clean. Lastly, the free shuttle service to and from the port helped us arrive and depart without stress. 10/10 would stay here again!

Amazing hotel. Beautiful rooms, amazing views, relaxed and vibrant!

Beautiful hotel and location. Great staff. Quiet area early May. We enjoyed hiking to neighbouring beaches and villages.

Blue Sands is a beautiful hotel located near a beautiful quiet beach. The family owned and staffed business is first class from the service to the amazing meals! Our breakfasts and dinners were the finest we had in Greece during our 3 week travels. The kindnesses shown to us were genuine. We left with souls refreshed and hearts full. Thank you Maria and Stafos!!!

This hotel is a gem overlooking the best beach in Folegandros. Beautifully designed rooms and an excellent breakfast. The only downside is that there's no parking and the free lot is a bit of a hike, but other than that, it was an excellent experience all around. Will definitely be back!

We had a pleasant stay. We particularly liked the hotel’s restaurant. Very friendly service. A pool would be an interesting feature, but most hotels in Folegandros do not have one. Their shuttle service to Chora is a plus, otherwise it would a bit hard to move around.

It was fantastic to stay at a very professional run hotel with all the modern conveniences. The bathroom was lovely with a rainwater spacious shower. The decor was eclectic and of a high standard. We had a standard room but it was more than enough as there were couches and sitting areas all around. The staff were very helpful and full credit to the young man who carried both our suitcases down the steps to our car (40kg)!!!! Agali is isolated but there is access to beach just below the hotel and there is a boat that takes you to 2 secluded beaches for 12€return. There is a bus that comes every hour until 6pm and there are 3-4 taverns. Great stay for 3 nights

Stylish, chic and in an amazing location. The staff are amazing, breakfast is great. Highly recommended.
