BLV review I have visited this hotel many times since its opening in 2011, sometimes with a large family and friends group, sometimes just as a couple, the latest trip was just myself and our daughter to surprise my best friend and her mum who were already there. We had the most amazing time, just us girls. It’s been lovely, over the years, to see the familier faces of certain staff members be promoted through the ranks and really take pride in the work they do. We ate in all the restaurants and, although food is a very subjective topic, there is definitely something for everyone here and you would be hard pushed not to find something you like. Just make sure that you check out all the buffet stations in the large main buffet restaurant ‘The Aegean’ as each section is different. We were lucky enough to dine at the Thalassa restaurant (which is not part of the AI package) and it really was exceptional. The ambiance here and setting is beautiful. There was a lovely singer too which added to the overall dining experience. Treat it as a ‘night out’ as you may do if staying in an AI hotel, but without the transport cost. A mention has also got to go to the watersports guys on the beach, they are so professional and really care about the experience you have. Over the years myself and my family have done most of what’s on offer here, from the crazy sofa, jet skis, the fly boots, speedboat trips and water skiing (which we discovered our daughter was a natural at, getting up first time!) This time we went paragliding which, if you haven’t already done this, is definitely a bucket list experience. If you are looking for a hotel that’s spotless, has an amazing choice of room options from family two bedroom rooms, deluxe private pool rooms to jacuzzi rooms and swim ups. Then you would be hard pushed to find somewhere, in this price point, that ticks all the boxes. There is a huge choice of pools to choose from, each with a different vibe plus it’s right on the beach with its own beach bar and waterpark. A good choice of restaurants, a fabulous theatre with all the shows you would expect from a 5 star Greek family hotel, kids clubs and daytime activities galore. I am lucky enough to be able to holiday a few times a year and have experience at hotels in price points higher than here, however I am booked again with friends for early next year and also with friends and family later in the year for a big birthday (I’m not letting on how big!!!) BLV - you will always be special ❤️
