Location
Reviews and Ratings
The resort features clean and spacious rooms with a tranquil layout, but the minibar could be more consistent. The service is friendly and creates a pleasant atmosphere. The location offers stunning views and a variety of dining options. The dining experience is excellent overall with a panoramic view. The facilities are well-maintained and satisfying.
The hotel offers spacious, modern, clean rooms with fantastic amenities and reliable AC and Wi-Fi. The staff is lovely and professional, although an incident with a waiter was not ideal. The location is impressive, high up on a hillside just a short walk from Kardamena town, providing peace and beauty. Dining provides good choices but falls slightly short of a 5-star standard. The facilities are top-notch, making for an enjoyable stay overall.
The hotel is located in a peaceful setting near the sea breeze pool and bar, providing a clean and spacious room with essential amenities like a safe, fridge, and complimentary water, coffee, and tea. The attractive two-storey blocks around the complex offer a tranquil stay, though the hill up to the restaurant might be a bit challenging. The service is exemplified by the lovely staff members at the Grand Blue, including the buggie drivers, cleaning personnel, and buffet restockers, creating a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The location, atop a hill with impressive views, is central and convenient, but lacks shaded areas. The dining experience offers a mix of hot and cold options, with a fantastic panoramic view, yet the variety could be improved. The facilities cater to various needs and ensure a pleasant stay in this modern and quiet resort.
