Just returned from a very enjoyable visit at this Hotel which is situated just a few hundred yards from the centre of the village of Pefkos. The Hotel is part of a resort involving three sites, all with their own pools although guests staying anywhere on the resort are welcome to visit any of the pools.
The island Blue, as well as having a large pool which is split into two parts has an additional pool close to their restaurant which doesn’t have a children’s section and which is ideal if you are looking for peacefulness and tranquility whilst sitting in the sunshine or whilst having a leisurely swim.
Pefkos has many restaurants and bars all close to one another offering many alternative food options but if you wanted to stay around the resort then there are food options available, for example, if you have breakfast in their restaurant then the quality of that breakfast, which is served buffet style, is outstanding with so much choice available.
The rooms are large, clean, have balconies or terrace’s with, unlike in many places now, a daily room service. There were still some rules associated with Covid which were perfectly understandable. The staff we had dealings with, whether in reception, behind the bars, waiters and waitresses, cleaners etc were all keen to ensure that a comfortable, happy and enjoyable time was had and that was very much to their credit.
The Hotel is situated only a five minute walk to the beach if you don’t mind navigating a number of steps or alternatively it is about a leisurely 15 minute walk to the beach on the roadways if preferred. There are many sun beds and parasols available on the sandy beach ranging from 12 euros for two beds on the basic package to 38 euros for all sorts of additional add ons!
There was a glass bottom boat trip (19 euro’s) available lasting about an hour which took you to Lindos which was very enjoyable and if feeling fit, the climb up to the top of the Acropolis (12 euros per person) is worth it. A taxi ride back from Lindos was about 9 or 10 euros depending on the speed of the taxi driver!
There was entertainment available on a number of nights, during my stay, there were Drifters and ABBA tribute bands, a Sixties night and a Greek night with all sorts of Greek delicacies on the menu.
All in all, this Hotel is to be highly recommended and I would not hesitate in revisiting.
