Our stay at Utopia Blu Hotel was the absolute best!!! We were impressed with everything from the food, the room facilities, oop the staff but especially the entertainment. The entertainment was one of the best we’ve seen. The shows at night were amazing, especially the weekend shows where they showcased the variety of talent within the team. The team also worked hard in the day to ensure everyone was happy. Their energy was great and my kids loved the kids club. Overall, we would definitely recommend and we are looking at booking again for next year!

Absolutely amazing hotel! This has to be one of the nicest hotels I’ve visited. Me and my partner came from may 24-31 for our anniversary. When we arrived we were greeted with drinks and a buggy to our room. We booked an adults only swim up room which was lovely, the rooms aren’t the biggest but for 2 people it was completely fine. Our room seemed to have sun for most the day but we did tend to sit at other pools for part of the day for a change of scenery. There is so many bars so no matter where you are you can easily get drinks which is perfect not only this but all the staff are lovely ! Unfortunately I was ill for the majority of our holiday (nothing to do with the hotel) so I didn’t eat too much however the food did look nice and my boyfriend seemed to enjoy it. It did get repetitive but as do all, all inclusive hotels. The crepes by the kids pool were amazing !! The whole hotel was very clean throughout and we had no problems. The location of the hotel was perfect with a large supermarket opposite and lots of shops with magnets etc. down the road. As well as this there was some Restraunts and bars about a 10 ish minute walk away. The beach isn’t directly outside the hotel but about a 15 minute walk there is also a shuttle from the hotel directly to the beach. We didn’t go to the beach in the day only in the evening when it was cooler so we could walk to it but it did look like a nice beach ! There is also a bus stop outside the hotel which you can get a bus into Kos town. For our last two nights we were very kindly given a room upgrade to a junior suite with a private pool which was amazing and if we were to return to the hotel we would definitely book this room. It was very spacious and the pool was lovely. I 100% recommend this hotel and there is nothing I could complain about !

“Great holiday”

Have had a great time, would come back, lovely development well spaced out, plenty of pools and sun beds. Great meal at Starry Night, and à la carte Italian, would recommend. Sunshine helped too. Get a taxi from airport, quicker about 20mins…..

“Could be a lot lot better. Inconsistent.”

We booked a swim up room with a late checkout 12 mo that ago, to coincide with our 10th wedding anniversary, and we got married in Kos.

We booked a swim up room with a late checkout 12 mo that ago, to coincide with our 10th wedding anniversary, and we got married in Kos. After reading some forums we emailed the hotel to ask if they could give us a room that had sun in the afternoon, explaining about our wedding anniversary and they said they would try. We checked in quite easy, and were shown to our room 2603. Unfortunately our request wasn't acted upon as by 3pm the sun had gone behind the building. The room itself is small, but not too much of an issue as we came to enjoy the sun. The real problem is the bathroom. It's got a nice sink for 2 people, a lovely shower, however to get to the sink or toilet you have to open the door, step into the shower, close the door then do what you need. Far from ideal. Sliding doors may be a better option? You do get Beth robes and slippers which were a nice touch. The swim up pool is fantastic. The loungers supplied with the room and at the other pools are also fantastic. We did get 2 bottles of water in our fridge and then most days we got a single bottle, despite having drunk the previous days. Other reviews mention getting 2 bottles so a little inconsistent. I see other reviews having animals made from towels and things whereas we had nothing like that. In fact one day we had one bath towel and 4 tiny hand towels. We didn't realise this until my wife had her shower and I went to get a towel. Had to use all 4 hand towels to dry myself. I even had to ask reception to refill the coffee in the room. Again small inconsistencies. On the day of our wedding anniversary a waiter did appear mid morning with a nice cake for us to share and a small note with well wishes on it. I did notice on a previous review that a woman and her boyfriend got a 2 night room upgrade for a jog standard anniversary. Another inconsistency. The drinks are hit and miss. The beer is weak, the red wine isn't the best, and again seemed quite weak. The cocktails were good however full of sugar. A huge thanks has to go to Elisa from the adult pool bar. She was fantastic and is a huge credit to the hotel. She made fantastic drinks, always with a smile on her face and entertained all customers. The food is also hit and miss, and very repetitive. One night was supposed to be oriental night but was changed to international, however there was a Bolognese chilli (?), plenty of fish, and in fact most dishes contained chilli. I'm not sure what was international about it. The fish nights was possibly the worst as my wife doesn't like fish, so that was a let down. I did notice quite a lot of adults eating chicken nuggets that night. The 2 ala carte restaurants were really good. I think we both preferred the Mediterranean one to the Italian, but that's personal choice. The entertainment is where this place needs to up their game. It's so repetitive. We were there 8 nights and saw all acts twice. The Who Wants To Be A Millionaire is atrocious. I'm quite good at quizzes but the first week nobody got past 2 questions. The second week they got to question 4, but that was because they asked the same questions from the previous week. The Greek dancers were exactly the same as the previous week. Same dancers. Same dancing. One act actually started about 20 minutes early, and it was it by chance we caught it. The drinks service in the evening is atrociously slow. On our first night we tried to order at the bar and were told it was table service. We ordered a red wine and a vodka diet coke and it took 20 minutes to arrive. The waiters and waitresses are very busy. There's just not enough of them. We would go to the bar every so often and get served however on the 6th night the server who had served us multiple times in a week said he couldn't serve us as it was hotel policy. We were served by a waiter at our table, and the server continued to serve other customers! Yet another inconsistency! As we booked late check out we went to enquire what time this was till. The receptionist told us that there was no guarantee we would keep our room and we may have to pack, move and get out what we needed for the day before repacking. Eventually they let us keep our own room till 6pm. When we did check out there was no thank you for your stay, how was your stay etc. Most staff do work really hard and they are all friendly. However there are too many issues to make this hotel perfect. My wife insisted I give this 4 stars. Personally I would give it half a star less. Would I recommend this place, I'm not sure. I'd have to think on that.
