Labranda Blue Bay Resort

We had a great short stay at Blue Bay in October.
We booked a family room which had a view of the waterpark and balcony to relax on in the evening. The room was comfortable but dates and the bathroom could have bee cleaner.
WiFi was hit and miss.
Every member of staff were friendly and polite.
The food options were varied however did get repetitive after a few nights. We ate at the Italian restaurant which was delicious. Would have liked some more options for gluten free and vegetarian in the buffet.
The drinks were OK, cocktails could have been tastie, but they were definitely not weak! And the beachside pizza was so tasty.

Recommend getting the bus into the old town for €8 per person return and exploring.

Overall an enjoyable stay with some small tweaks it would be perfect.

This hotel really positively surprised me. This was the first time I’d done an all inclusive so I was skeptical, however, I really can’t fault the hotel and I had a great week here.

The rooms were basic and a little dated, but they were clean and spacious and made up every day.

The pool facilities were fantastic - all very clean, showers and toilets were nearby. There is a larger, deeper pool, a shallower pool and then a small children’s room. Ample sun beds at both the pool and on the beach - which you can walk straight on to.

The food was the only thing which let the stay down - it wasn’t bad by any means but just not great. However that said, there was a wide variety of options. This isn’t an expensive resort though, so I understand it isn’t going to be luxury dining.

The only actual negative was our on-site restaurant meal. We chose Muses and unfortunately, it was pretty dreadful. Would not recommend- the food was more or less the exact same as at the buffet but somehow worse!

The entertainment was pretty good too, and varied most nights.

Location was great too - easy busy into Rhodes Old Town and plenty of parking (we rented a car).

Overall, very good holiday and would definitely return to this hotel.

I stayed at Blue Bay Resort in Rhodes for 7 days with my partner. The staff were absolutely lovely – very friendly and helpful throughout our stay.

I had paid for an upgraded room as a surprise for my partner, but unfortunately the room we were initially given was not what I had expected. I was disappointed and heartbroken at first. I’m never one to complain, but I’m so glad I plucked up the courage to speak up – within an hour our room was changed without any fuss, which I really appreciated.

The food in the main buffet restaurant was quite basic. It was enjoyable at first, but by the third day we were getting a little tired of it. On the bright side, the snack bar was amazing and became a bit of a lifesaver! The all-inclusive drinks were also fantastic and good value.

We dined at the Greek restaurant on site and we were over the moon with the whole experience! Staff were amazing and the food was fantastic! We definitely recommend dining there

The shower room definitely leaves a lot to be desired – not the most pleasant to look at – but it did the job for a quick wash.

A big plus for us was the coach/bus trip option from the resort, which was perfect and saved us a lot of money on taxis.

Overall, Blue Bay Resort has some really good points – especially the staff, snacks and drinks – but there’s room for improvement on the food variety and bathroom facilities.

We had a wonderful time at the hotel! Everything was great — the rooms, the food, and especially the pool area.
We met the lifeguard George, who was amazing with our kids — so friendly, attentive, and caring. He really made our days by the pool extra fun and safe.
Also, Kety from customer relations was so kind and helpful — always with a smile and ready to assist with anything we needed.
We’d definitely love to come back next year! 🌞❤️

That's lovely hotel, room was nice and clean (thanks to cleaning team),just a few meters away from beech ,plenty of swimming pools and entertainment,make that hotel great for families. Nice food on the main restaurant, plenty of choice and very tasty 😋. Stuff is amazing, thank to all waitress🍽,receptionist, cleaners, really nice and warm people. And big thank you to entertainment team 🤸‍♀️,they working hard to keep us happy all day long. Definitely will be back again. Highly recommend!

We’ve had a lovely family experience. Kids and adults have loved it. Great location on the beachfront and close to the airport. There is some noise from the planes however you hardly notice them after a few go past and the kids loved watching them go by so close.
The animation team are amazing, the energy levels from them throughout the whole day is very impressive and always smiling and engaging with everyone. Karaoke night was a particular highlight with Fredric singing horrifically but everyone loving it. 😂😂 again great energy making it very inclusive for everyone. I don’t know where they get the energy from.
The rooms are basic but I would definitely recommend staying here as there are so many positives.

I recently stayed at this hotel and was truly impressed, especially by the culinary experience and the exceptional service.

The main restaurant offers a fantastic variety of dishes with something new every day. From fresh salads and perfectly cooked meats to delicious desserts, the buffet exceeded my expectations. Everything was well-presented and full of flavor, and the quality of ingredients really stood out.

What made the stay even more special were the à la carte restaurants. Each one had a unique atmosphere and menu, offering gourmet-level dishes with great attention to detail. The Mediterranean à la carte was a personal favorite — every bite felt like a fine dining experience.

Equally impressive was the service throughout the hotel. The staff were consistently warm, polite, and attentive. Whether at the restaurants, the reception, or by the pool, everyone made an effort to ensure guests felt welcome and well cared for. It’s clear that hospitality is a priority here.

Overall, the food and service alone are enough to make me want to return. Highly recommended!

Please ignore the negative reviews we nearly changed hotel last minute so glad we didnt.
The hotel is on a flight path so yes plans do come over regularly so dont book if this is an issue for your party.The postive to this is hotel is only a ten minute transfer from airport we were the first drop off and last to be picked up.
The rooms were clean and tidy however in some places could do with redecoration but this didnt effect our stay.
We found reception staff to be kind and helpful and nothing was too much for them.Juat a heads up the service tax for your stay has to be paided in cash on arrival.The rooms were cleaned everyday and fresh bottle of water left for us as well.We had booked a sea view rooms would reccomend this the views are out of this world.
An amazing animation team great programme of activities on 6 days a week during the day and in the evening they are all worth there weight in gold and tried to get as many diffrent people involved as they could.
Pool bar yes you do have to queue at busier times but not for long.A tip by the pool there is a self service Fizzy drinks and water machine for use during day so I took my own stanley cup to fill up there.
The food in the resturant as per some previous reviews can be the same most meals however in our weeks stay we always found something to eat.
I would recomend booking one of the three resturants on site which you can go to one during your stay you book your reservation through an app upon check in we went to the burger resturant it was amazing.
The cats are in resturant areas however they do not get up on tables or counters and are only looking for scrap pieces of food.The waterpark attached to this hotel is good - Only 4 slides however is good fun for a few hours.
The hotel offfers a place to leave luggage on departing and gives you access to a shower room if booked at recption ready for you return flight home for free rather than having to pay 10euros an hour for late checkout.
The hotel is an excellent location as the beach easily accesible but is rocky we expect that in Greece so was prepped.It is a 40 minute walk to the nearest town strip.However the hotel does offer a minibus services to local attractions Rhodos Old Town,Butterfly Park,Water Park etc for a fee.
Overall a really good holiday thankyou to all the staff who are incrediable helpful and made us feel welcome.
