Labranda Blue Bay Resort

Honestly the worst all inclusive stay I have had the food was absolutely terrible I ended up having to eat out everyday it wasn’t edible very low quality the hotel wasn’t very clean neither the pools and there is ants everywhere I was told on arrival my room would be ready in an hour and ended up having to wait 3hours, the staff are lovely but that is about it. The entertainment isn’t really entertainment and starts so late for kids the kids club is just foam mats in the corner of a room that kids can run out of so don’t count on that to leave your kids. Drinks are mid

I am so gutted! We came last October 2023 and could not fault the place (except the all inclusive dinner, but you always no with all inclusive it's hit and miss) so we booked again for this year October 2024. Wow.. has it gone down hill. We could not wait to hit up the gyros all inclusive as this was our favourite part. However we was met with wasp infested self serve cat food basically and hard pitta breads that snapped when you bent it and only a triangle size piece at that. The drinks machine would always run out of fizzy drink. Every time you got any food or drink wasps would be around you in seconds. The pool was freezing cold. The rooms were very old and dirty, staff were friendly and entertainers were lovely, however compared to October 2023 entertainment has definitely gone down hill. They had so much for the kids last year and last Halloween 2023 my kids could not stop talking about how fun it was and was so excited to go back to experience this again, however it wasn't great this year unfortunately. The beach is lovely, the location is great, the all inclusive again hit and miss. The taxis which we got from the hotel were quite expensive compared to when you are actually in Rhodes so I would keep a taxi number handy and not get it from the hotel. The water slides don't bother booking unless you 1.20m as we went last year my daughter was allowed on no problems 5 years old, this year she's 6 and 1.1 and we had to argue it everyday that she could go on, by showing videos of her on it last year. All in all, we do love this place and are gutted it has gone so downhill at the moment all it seems like they are doing is promoting to get more customers as all the clubs they done for 5 minutes for a picture opportunity. When we went to the reception to complain they informed us we have probably seen there isn't many staff because the hotel has now gone bankrupt and has been taken over by new owners and is no longer labrande. Such a shame as we loved coming here.
