Aqua Blu Boutique Hotel and Spa

We had a fantastic week in this small, boutique style hotel. The staff are are all friendly, professional and go out of their way to help you and ensure an enjoyable stay. The suites are spotless and comfortable. The Spa was excellent, I had a package of 3 treatments and enjoyed them all. The Cuvee restaurant was outstanding, service and food superb. We did attend the barbecue which is a great idea but held inside as cooler in the evening in October- might be a better idea to introduce a different event at that time of year. Also, the hotel has a lovely outdoor pool but the water was so cold it took your breath away! I enjoy swimming so this was disappointing. The area around the pool is very comfortable, plenty of comfy sun beds.

I honestly do not know where to start on reviewing this amazing hotel & the people who work there. My husband and I normally stay in apartments when travelling as we like the freedom but chose to stay in a hotel this holiday as we were celebrating a milestone & needed a good relaxing break. Aqua Blu seemed the perfect choice especially as it's adults only. On arrival we were greeted with a lovely refreshing drink, a super friendly front desk team & given a quick tour of hotel amenities before being shown to our room. All nice touches. The room (411) was great in size, comfortable bed, good size balcony & lovely view of Lambi beach & over to Turkey. Great for sunrises. The open bathroom took some getting used to but not a major concern. The pool side facilities are great. Beds have comfortable mattresses for lounging, in varying shapes & sizes. As it was off season there was no issue in getting a bed at anytime of the day. The pool is a brilliant size & the water is cool & refreshing against the strong Greek sun. We ate at Cuvee reataurant (of which I have reviewed seperately) which was sublime. The decor around the hotel is contemporary & befits the style & attitude of the hotel. I really liked the paintings between floors. All of this is great but the best part of the hotel is the staff. The front of house ladies were always smiling & would make effort to acknowledge you in passing. The bellboy was super friendly. Breakfast team felt like old friends by the end of the week with special mentions to Alexandra, Polli & Halver (possibly not spelt correct apologies). The pool side staff seemed to know at the right moment when you wanted them. Maria the client relations manager was charming & so lovely & the hotel manager Jacqueline really does make an effort to make you feel welcome & spoke to all guests at some point of their stay and is so warm. Now I understand this won't happen to all guests but I have to mention this. On our 2nd last day we were approached by Maria and offered an upgrade for our last night to one of the loft suites with sunset/beach views. We obviously jumped at the chance & were so touched by this gesture. The move was handled so swiftly by the staff. My husband emailed Jacqueline to thank her & her team for this & mentioned it was extra special as it happened to coincide with our 15 year anniversary. On arrival in the room (as if the upgrade wasn't special enough) we received a lovely hand written message from Jacqueline & a lovely bottle of fizz. This honestly made me cry as such a kind & thoughtful thing to do. So overwhelming. The suite was out of this world (room 401) & a mind blowing treat. Overall, this hotel & all who make it run are just amazing. It truly will stick as an amazing holiday & alot of the memories are thanks to the Aqua Blu hotel. If trip advisor allowed more stars i would rate it higher.

My husband booked this for my birthday. The customer service is exceptional. As it is a small hotel the staff make effort in getting to know you and are very helpful. I was ill with the flu and the staff were very attentive and suggested medicine for me- which helped a lot. We loved that this hotel hosts events to get to know their customers. On Fridays they hold cocktail evenings and it???s free. We recommend this as the drinks were lovely. The staff made their way round and asked if everything was ok. To our surprise when we went back to the room, they had provided a lovely birthday dessert for me and a lovely message. The standards of this hotel are top notch and we really suggest you have the taster menu at the restaurant Cuvee. A big thanks to all the staff for making this special. The full body massage I also recommend. The only cons are that the room is open so there is a sliding glass door for the toilet and shower is all open. We got used to this but people who like their privacy may see this as off putting. Also there was a bbq event guests were invited to, we thought this was on the house like the cocktail party, until we were provided with the bill for ???90 and we???re disappointed. Also the breakfast is the same everyday and can get repetitive and the pool was very cold. Nevertheless, This is the best hotel for relaxation, class and customer service. We urge you to book the Aqua Blu Hotel
