Multiple swimming options which was great! Staff were friendly and upon arrival great service. Tidy comfortable rooms, WiFi and buffet breakfast had a
Lot of options! Very well kept resort
Food was pretty average and could do with improvement. Location is quite secluded

ALERT! ⚠️ There is a serious risk that you will not want to go back home after staying at The Royal Blue Resort & Spa!
From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel truly welcome and at home.
Everyone was incredibly kind and helpful, and when our child got sick during the stay, they went above and beyond to support us and accommodate our needs — something we will never forget.
The buffet was excellent, with great variety and quality, and the resort itself had everything we could possibly wish for. It is the kind of place where you can just relax, enjoy the sunshine, the good food, and the wonderful service without feeling the need to go anywhere else.
We would love to come back again one day — thank you to the whole team for making our stay so special! 💙

The Royal Blue is beautifully designed like a little village on a hill in nice walking distance to the pool and sea. The rooms and restaurants are beautifully furnished, the staff is very friendly and cordial, yet professional and the food is diverse and very tasty. We also really appreciated our warm welcome at the hotel. A buggy-driver came to pick us up and bring us to reception, where we received two welcome drinks and some sweets. We even got an upgrade to the presidential suite for free which included a private hot tub on our balcony. All in all it was an amazing stay and we would love to come back for another trip!
The thalassotherapy was a little disappointing (basically you get to use an indoor pool), however it was included in our stay, so we didn’t have to pay for it.

The beach and the swimming pools
We received a 2-Star Room at 5-Star Prices
This was not a 5-star room but barely two stars. I arrived disappointed, and unfortunately, the experience only got worse.
The room was very small (definetely not 30 m2 we booked) outdated, and looked nothing like the pictures online (no sofa bed plus double bed - there was no space for both in the room - which had max 16 m2). There was no iron, the phone couldn’t even contact reception, and the entire space felt neglected.
I had to wait a full day and a night just to be moved to a room that actually fit what I booked. I lost valuable vacation time packing, following up, and solving problems that shouldn’t exist at this big price.
The Kids Club was poorly managed, and at the children’s pool, they had no towels available. Staff told me to go to another pool to get one.
Why set up sunbeds and a kids’ pool if you can’t provide something as basic as towels?
Worse, the elevators weren’t working, and reception rarely answers calls. I had an incident in the room and was told someone from cleaning would come — they apeared after 4 hours. I had to chase them down myself, repeatedly.
On top of it all, the hotel charges for water in the restaurants even if you book half board - there is practically no available drinkable water there - you have to order it at 5 euro/bottle. At breakfast they serve some in tiny glass vases - clearly limiting access to something as essential as water. Depending on family, prepare yourself to spend just on water about 25 -35 eur per day for 5 - 7 bottles (750 ml).
This stay has been a constant frustration. Outdated rooms, poor service, lack of communication, and disorganization.
Definitely not five stars!
We will never return, and I strongly suggest you think twice before booking.
