Second visit and not the last.

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 7 Dec 2021
Fifth holiday in Pefkos and second at Island Blue. Stayed for two weeks at the end of October. Clean and comfortable room, however it is showing signs of age / wear.
Breakfast was excellent, with COVID 19 precautions of wearing masks and gloves whilst walking about.
The hotel was quite quiet, and the pool was freezing even though the weather was about 25 degrees. Pool areas clean, we watched the staff clean every morning, one complaint is the uncomfortable sun-beds, however the adult pool beds were slightly better.
Reception staff were very helpful in printing out Passenger Locater forms at the end of our holiday, however the arrival greeting was non existant and more concerned in form filling.
Would recommend to friends and definitely star here again

This hotel was of a very good standard with large airy and very clean room and balcony overlooking the pool and pool bar. A welcome gift was left in the room which was a lovely touch. The room was serviced daily to a high standard, with fresh linen and towels.

The hotel was quiet so no issues with pool bar noise at night, though there were noise issues from a local live rock venue nearby.

The breakfast restaurant was lovely- very clean, very good range of food including local Greek options which were delicious, such as a wide range of fresh and conserved fruit, honey, spinach and cheese pies, alongside British options, such as omelette made to order.

We dined only once in buffet restaurant which was very good.

A short walk from the lovely beach, a range of pools to use, friendly helpful staff. Beautiful gardens kept really well.

We’d stay again and recommend to friends 😊

Room tip: The beach is very close, but down a flight of steps however if you have a car you can park at a more accessible point in the village.

Really enjoyed our week away at this resort. Friendly staff and nice large rooms. Pool view from all of the rooms. It wouldn’t take much to up it a few notches ie the rooms were very dusty, the cups were never cleaned. The sun beds were awfully uncomfortable to lie on. Lee beach nearby is lovely. Would I go again? Yes definitely.

Having had our July holiday cancelled due to Covid we decided to book a September break returning to the Island Blue after 8 years. So glad we did as this hotel is still so well kept and lovely. Breakfast has even more variety and is all delicious.
Spent most days at the Elia pool as was so quiet and more or less had the pool to ourselves.
So many great restaurants to choose from to eat at in Pefkos. Especially liked Tsambikos ( above the bakery) - delicious and reasonably priced too.
We’ll definitely be back!

We stayed at the island blue from September 12 th for 14 nights. Our first time to a Greek island and I think we struck gold first time. The hotel ( which is made up of 3 separate hotels) was everything you need for a wonderful holiday. The room was very large , spotlessly clean and had a view to die for ( top floor) we where B&B , breakfast was a very decent quality with a good choice, the star being the cooked to order omelette station. We have stayed in many hotels throughout the Caribbean with beautiful manicured gardens, but I have to say this hotel knocked them out of the park, absolutely gorgeous with some of the best psalm tree displays I’ve ever seen. Overall a lovely spacious hotel , well looked after , with everything you need for a relaxing holiday) in a wonderful resort . So much so on the day we got home we have booked a return visit next year.
