Blue Lagoon Resort

“Great family hotel”

I went in September and only negative I have is the pools were cold, but I blame myself for going so late on in the season.

I went in September and only negative I have is the pools were cold, but I blame myself for going so late on in the season. Other than that I don’t know what people moan about, we booked restaurant reservations every night and food was really nice. My little boy is 1 and ate from the main buffet every night also. We like good food and tbh we were never disappointed always loads to choose from as long as you’re not fussy eaters. We hired bikes for the day went into KOS town, got the bus also but they were rammed and on one occasions wouldn’t let on as we had a pram but we got a taxi instead. The staff were lovely so attentive and gave my boy so much attention, very good entertainment at night for children. The private beach wasn’t the best but again we got a taxi to one near KOS town and ate at the beach bars (Nissi Beach bar). We just had a larger room on the ground floor which was fine and was given a cot. We paid for late checkout a couple of days before departing which was cheaper than TUI. Hotel isn’t in a prime location and for this reason only I wouldn’t return.

“A lovely week at the Blue Lagoon”

Reading the reviews for the Blue Lagoon, they are so varied I decided to make my own mind up and I encourage you to do that too. If my accommodation is comfortable, clean, well maintained with good food and drink, a place to sit in the sun and excellent staff, I’m happy. And the Blue Lagoon certainly fits that criteria. Not a 5 star like in a big city but it’s worthy of 4. It’s massive but easily navigated especially if you use the golf buggies that whizz around the resort. Hail one like a cab! The themed restaurants are worth visiting. All good food. The only one that disappointed us was the Greek restaurant. We love traditional Greek dishes and thought we would have a choice of halloumi, stifado, kleftiko and souvlaki but the closest we got to Greek food was feta and stuffed vine leaves, both delicious. (And lovely sticky sweet desserts!) Having said that the food was good and we avoided the ‘cold food’ complaints of other reviewers by looking around before we put things on our plates (and looked for a warm plate!). It’s not rocket science. Our room was on the ground floor of a block close to the entertainment marquee, main restaurants, pool and reception. Comfortable bed nice sized shared balcony which was a bit odd, but ok and a clean bathroom. Biggest bugbear was lack of storage. How a family would manage I don’t know. I used the suitcase shelf to pile our clothes on and doubled clothes up on the hangers. 2 drawers isn’t enough and the tiny drawers by the beds are no good for anything. Walking around we noticed the well kept gardens and we’ve never seen such a clean pool. Stunning when lit up at night. The animation team were the best we have experienced ever. Just fantastic. Their evening shows were so professional-so talented. And they were always around in the day chatting to guests and keeping us fit! Pool was freezing though ;) All staff at this hotel are excellent. They work hard as the hotel is so big with over 600 rooms, that’s a lot of people to look after. They all had a smile and a ‘hello’, just lovely. Beach across the road wasn’t good. Tired out sun beds which are charged by the day, worn out wooden walkways and lots of bits of plastic and rubbish. It could be lovely but it’s neglected which is a shame. I didn’t dare look in the portoloos so let’s assume they were ok!! I’d recommend this hotel as we had a lovely week away.

The Blue Lagoon Resort offers a setting designed for convenience and relaxation, which became clear during our stay with a group of ten. The resort’s layout and organisation play an important role in shaping the overall experience, especially for larger groups. One of the resort’s strongest features is the reliability of its staff. Throughout our stay, employees responded quickly and effectively to practical requests, such as arranging taxis, assisting with luggage or managing restaurant reservations. Their consistently friendly attitude made the daily organisation noticeably easier. The resort also proves to be well-suited for group travel. Its spacious layout allows guests to move around easily without feeling crowded, which reduces logistical stress for larger parties. Activities and evening shows were organised in such a way that everyone had the option to join without contributing to overcrowding. Despite these strengths, the resort’s approach to additional fees is a significant drawback. Although it presents itself as all-inclusive, several basic facilities required substantial extra payment. Access to the spa, beach chairs and certain services came with unexpected charges. These added costs can be disappointing for guests who rely on the promise of an all-inclusive formula and expect essential amenities to be part of the package. Overall, the Blue Lagoon Resort offers dependable service and an efficient layout that works particularly well for larger groups. While the extra fees diminish the value of its all-inclusive concept, the friendliness of the staff and the well-organised environment contributed to a comfortable stay. Guests travelling in groups will likely appreciate the resort’s spaciousness and practical structure, provided they are aware of the additional charges.
