Grand Blue Beach Hotel

Stayed for 2 nights with an all inclusive package. Inclusions limited but good food and options for relaxing. Close to town also gave options to walk and see some of the town.

Check in was a disaster, the wait for check in and the room was long and the staff was abrupt and not very friendly. Expedia site noted check out was noon but the front deck states that was wrong and check out was 11 am. The room i booked had 4 beds but the room I got only had 3 beds. I was charged and extra 80 dollars at check in but was not explained what it was. Overall very poorly managed but the resort was beautiful. Would not go back or recommend.

Wonderful property with amazing staff and amenities

The location was excellent 10 minutes walk from the town centre Kardeminia. The hotel itself was lovely, very welcoming, the staff we lovely, friendly and accommodating. We stayed a family room with 2 bedrooms it was very spacious, clean and modern. The view from the restaurant was stunning, one of the best views I've seen overlooking the sea and close Greek Islands. The food was ok, dinner a bit better than breakfast due to the limited choice of foods. There are some steep walks to get to the pool or restaurants. We did read some reviews prior to booking, I would agree about it not being 5 star per say, having stayed in a few 5 star hotels on other holidays, but none the less a lovely hotel, maybe a 3.5/4 star. Overall I would recommend this hotel, for the rooms, location staff. We loved our holiday.

You should only go to this hotel if you are in excellent health and fitness - very VERY hilly and we were there during a heat wave. While there were some golf carts, they were not always available. Also, the pools are only open from 10 am to 6 pm, so no chance of early or late swimming, and it was 95 degrees. You get a message that towels will only be changed once a week. The front desk rattles off 20 rules when you check in and it seemed like every time we asked for something we were told, "we told you when you checked in, towels once a week" etc. The room was spacious and clean. Food nothing special, although servers were very nice. The beach is rocky but there is a nice beach at the hotel next door. All is all, would not go again.

property is nice and clean, near to town and beaches. friendly staff

Stayed in this property for 7 nights. We had booked a triple room and were provided with a family room with 2 separate rooms sleeping 2 each beside the Sea Breeze Bar and Pool. The room was cleaned daily, fresh bottle water provided each morning and air conditioning which was a must with the recent soaring temperatures. No rushing to get loungers but the pool, which can be the case in some resorts. We did not avail of the all inclusive package but ordered room service one evening (food portions were very big and good value for money). The walk to breakfast is very steep but it is possible to ask for a lift on one of the golf carts. The strip in Kardamena is only 10min walk with a lot of restaurants, bars and shops. As our departing flight was late and check out is 11am we asked to avail of late check out at 7pm and while we had to relocate to a different room it was done very seamlessly at a very affordable charge of about €20. The property is well maintained with beautiful views throughout. It can be windy beside the pool but it was welcome to make the heat more manageable. There were also daily activities at the pool starting with darts around 11am, aqua Zumba around 11.45am and water polo in the afternoon. Child friendly shows on evenings at 9.30pm. A great week and lovely stay in Grand Blue

A very enjoyable holiday in a 5 star hotel that deserves these 5 stars. Very clean and very well kept hotel. A lot of green! Rooms cleaned daily, towels changed daily. Very tasty food! A big nod to the chef and restaurant manager. Good gym equipment. Very nice hotel staff! They do a really good job.I definitely recommend this hotel.

The owners were very friendly and helpful.

All good, but shortfall in sun loungers, which are all reserved with towels from about 9am. If you come down after that you'll likely not get one, although some just have towels and bags on all day but no people. Staff excellent in all areas and a lovely location for the hotel.

Staff was amaZing, extremely helpful. Property beautiful and clean

Lovely property, great views and several pools to choose from. Be aware the property extends up a hill from the beach and 2 pools so if you’re not up to climb the hill there are hold carts or stay at the upper pool. Breakfast buffet was abundant but I walked about 10 minutes into town for beachside dinner each night. I highly recommend Grand Blue and Kardamena!

Fantastic holiday at The Grand Blue Beach! It is an all inclusive hotel but we stayed bed and breakfast and because the hotel is only 10 min walk from Kardamena it was easy to find a lovely bar or restaurant The hotel is clean and Smart and has multiple pools that are all amazing Would stay again in a heartbeat

Just back from a weeks stay in this lovely hotel. The hotel was clean and well maintained. The buffet lunch and dinner consisted of around 12 hot dishes / sides / veg, 2 salad bars, a fruit bar, a dessert bar, bread etc. All staff I found to be very friendly and accommodating. We spent most of our time at the Seabreeze pool and bar where the entertainment took place. The entertainment team. Joy, Peter and Helena were great and spent time chatting and getting to know you and worked extremely hard throughout the day and evening. A special thank you also to Mikel at the bar for looking after us so well!

Lovely hotel. We were bed & breakfast only, great buffet breakfast, staff worked really hard, only complaint would be there was not enough crockery, we often had to wait for bowls & glasses. The hotel is on a fairly steep hill, we knew this when booking & it wasn’t a problem for us but something to be aware of. The hotel does offer a golf buggy service if required. Great location, about a 10 minute walk into town. Beach directly opposite is ok but not great, it’s better towards town.

Large hotel, spread over a hillside. Quite steep hills but easy to request a golf buggy to help. Three large pools with plenty of sun beds. Food was excellent with plenty of choice. 15 minute walk along the beach road into town where there are plenty of bars and restaurants. Friendly staff and very helpful.

Lovely hotel, views are amazing overlooking the sea. Plenty of options for pools. Food was great and all the staff really friendly and welcoming. Only 10 minute walk along the sea front to the town with bars so good for relax and going out.

Hotel was good for the price. Only stayed one night while being on a business trip.

It is a very nice hotel with great views and comfortable beds. One woman in the spa was quite rude when changing towels, like it is a chore for her. The food does not match the hotel. I went with half board as i don't like to stay at hotel all day. If i went again i would go breakfast only as local food is cheap and far superior. The food really is below average and the buffet is hugely wasteful, which in a country like Greece (and a 5* hotel) is unacceptable.

The hotel location is great and the view of the sea is breathtaking, but there are few things which dont let me give a full five stars: - all pools are cold, colder than even the sea, which is not something either myself or my daughters could understand. they love water and swimming, but they just didi not enjoy being in such a cold water. and it wasnt only them, there were hardly anyone in the 3 big swimming pools of the hotel - Internet was scrappy and almost useless in our rooms, I had to use my mobile data and personal hotspot to allow all of us Internet - food was good, but I expected better, it didnt have the "spark" I expected from a 5-stars hotel in Greece. Best meal we had was in fact the a-la-carte one on our last night there (you were allowed a free meal at the a-la-carte restaurant) - our rooms cleanliness wasnt up to scratch, you could not walk barefoot without getting very dirty on the feet, I dont think the ceramic floors have been cleaned for quite a while - as a half-board you felt excluded a bit in the restaurant - allowed only water as everything else would cost. There were good things too: - the spa - the massages were great, although on the expensive side (Cristina was absolutely great!) - the location and the sea view - the weather (nothing to do with hotel, I know) - large rooms in our family apartment and large bathroom - balcony where you could admire the view All in all a pleasant stay, but not 5-stars I'm afraid, I would say between 3 and 4.
