Blue Horizon Hotel

Max Vaselli

Room: - AC is not working from October on, we had very hot night in October with a baby, and window open, we got bitten by lots of moskitos. Reception gave us a fan as the room centralized fan was kind of useless. - Toilet water is not refilling correctly in the room. - Water drainage from the sink is leaking on the bathroom floor. - Half bottom part of the fridge door is black from mold because of the door not closing correctly, and so the fridge is never cold. - The whole room/hotel looks like not refreshed for the past 30 years at least. Rest of the hotel: - The food is of the lowest quality and taste in a hotel we have ever experienced… and we honestly do not understand the good reviews. Most of the food is from cans and not fresh at all. There is very little choice of fruits, all deserts are pre-made frozen catering. One evening, one of the kitchen worker refilled the mash potatoes tray directly from a huge can… the food was the biggest negative point for us in this hotel. - Same as the room, the hotel looks very old. - The elevator really needs to be replaced, everyone was annoyed. Extremely slow and squeezing people entering as they are not even detecting people passing. Dangerous with the kids! - Not possible to eat (breakfast, lunch or dinner) outside from the main restaurant, only the snack bar and cafeteria (bar) have an outside sitting area. - The pool is opening at 10am which we find quite late and we are awake at 7am. - They don’t have any good coffee machine. Coffee from the main restaurant buffet is tetrapack pre-mixed coffee, we saw it being refilled (tastes like bad instant coffee). Wanted to get myself a good coffee from the snack bar and pay extra for it : they had only “caps” coffee. Around the hotel: - It’s a rocky beach and very windy and wavy (wind/kitesurf might be possible that as well was closed) - Airplanes are passing just above the hotel making it impossible to nap outside or windows open - Around the hotel is super touristic, shops and restaurants are made for tourists and the food quality is not great, but visiting further away you can find great restaurants. - End of October, lots of shops, restaurants and hotels were closed for the winter already. Was a bit feeling like a ghost town. Recommended restaurants around: - Philerimos - Gitonia We do not understand the amount of good reviews fo this hotel. The customers are mainly Germans and British, 60+, and maybe the food quality is not an issue for most of them. The hotel is rated 4 stars (local) - this is a joke. The positive point was the very nice people working in the hotel, cleaning ladies and at the restaurant.

Had an amazing 2 weeks. Rooms were clean and comfortable, entertainment was great. We went half board. Staff were really pleasant and helpful. Waiters and waitresses were friendly and helpful. Went above and beyond to make things good for us. A huge thank you to Maria, Nikolaos and Charis in the restaurant. Made our breakfast and evening meal even more enjoyable. Lovely people

Spent a nice week over my birthday this year here. The location is great, right next to the beach and the restaurant was very clean and delicious. The staff was kind and helpful. The pool could be a little bit cleaner cause someone pooped into it one day. But all in all I recommend the Blue Horizon Hotel in Ialysos, Rhodes. I would book it again someday.

Hotel and rooms are loverly, good size pool with life guard, and they have towels so you don't need your own. Tree covered path to the beach and a cafe where you can get food if your on half board (5 minutes) The restaurant is open 3 times a day with great food. Entertainment most nights in the bar ( table service)

Stayed here for 10days in July 25. Amazing hotel with amazing friendly staff. We stayed half board and the food was tasty and varied throughout the 10days. Pool was a good size and never had problems getting loungers. It's set on a pebble beach with views towards Turkey mountains with amazing sunsets. Ben and Sammy the entertainment team work so hard every day making it fun for all the guests. Highly recommend a visit.
