Atlantica Aegean Blue - All Inclusive

I stayed here with my husband and my 9 & 10 year old, and we loved it! The room was super spacious and had an incredible view. The reception staff were really helpful and welcoming. We arrived at the hotel after the restaurants had closed but they ensured we had some food and drinks in our room which was a really nice touch after a lot of travelling. The bar staff at the pool bar and main bar were amazing! A special thanks to the ice cream lady Petrola, who was incredibly friendly, approachable and I thought it was so lovely how she made time for each customer and was so great with the kids...my kids absolutely adored her! She's a great asset to the hotel, and I feel staff who take pride in their job, like Pertola, make the stay a lot more enjoyable. Joanna and all the animation team were incredible and kept the kids entertained throughout. I particularly liked the acts at the end of the night and thought the variety of acts was fantastic. My family loved the bingo, and maybe more family games like this would have been good. I would highly recommend this hotel and think all the staff who were working during the Easter holidays should get extra recognition/pay rise because they made our stay truly memorable. Thank you Atlantica Aegan Blue.

We have just returned from a week stay at Atlantica Aegean Blue. The hotel was lovely, modern and clean and the swim up rooms looked like they would be amazing once the weather warms up. Unfortunately I wouldn’t recommend staying in April as it was cold and rainy most days and the pools are all unheated which meant the water was freezing. My 3 and 5 year old absolutely love the water and usually our holidays are based around the pool and water parks but unfortunately their lips were blue after 30 minutes playing and couldn’t really enjoy the amazing water park or pool. I’m sure in hotter months this wouldn’t be the case. We rented a car from the lady in reception for 2 days for something to do. Would highly recommend - we visited Lindos and got a ferry to Symi - both beautiful trips All shops, ATM machines and restaurants were still closed in the surrounding area of the hotel. Food was ok in the buffet but wished there was more meze etc in the evenings. We liked the snack bar for lunch - the gyros was very tasty. Definitely not 5 star though food wise. Huge queues to enter in the evening as well - it seemed they couldn’t cope with demand in the evening. We did the oriental al a carte and this was lovely for one evening. Overall I’m sure this is a great spot in height of summer but would not recommend In April

This may seem like a long review, there’s lots to get through – so stick with me on this! Check-in was quick, and we were told to wait outside for a porter to take us and our luggage to the room. We waited for at least 20 minutes before someone turned up – apparently reception staff hadn’t notified anyone that we were waiting. We booked a Premium double room for my wife and I and our son. The room was on the third floor. As we walked up the stairs, there was linen, and sheets just left scattered on the staircase and side which turned out to be a regular occurrence during the week – even after the cleaners had finished. We noticed one bundle was there for a complete week without being moved. The room was tiny – nothing like what we expected for a “Premium” room. There was a sofa made out to be a single bed right next to the double – no privacy at all. A glass door separated the bedroom from the toilette and shower – again, no privacy. A large window was between the bathroom and bedroom, so if anyone used the toilette at night, it would light up the whole room. We booked an inland view, but the view from the balcony was a concrete staircase to another block – not even a garden or pool view. But what was even worse, the air conditioning didn’t work. It was on but the temperature didn’t drop past 29 degrees. We complained to the holiday rep’s and reception – they sent out maintenance on several occasions but still didn’t work. Eventually they moved us to another room after 6 days which we were happy about (still had a glass door and window between the bedroom and toilette in the new room). Pet hate number 1: Smoking The hotel didn’t have designated areas for people smoking. People were smoking at the night entertainment around young children, in the outside restaurant areas when people were eating and around the pool. Sure a designated area can’t be that hard to arrange! There are plenty of pools at the hotel – those closer to the rooms were mainly for young families with music, entertainment, ball games etc. The infinity pool near the beach was a “quiet” pool with no games allowed. Some families thought it was acceptable to bring their own music speakers and play quite loud which wasn’t acceptable. The hotel should have an age restriction on the infinity pool – there were two occasions where younger children used it as a toilette which resulted in the pool being closed for 3 hours. The beach is quite small and stoney – not directly accessible from the hotel area which I was disappointed with. There is also a water park which we used once as the slides are prone to giving you friction burns – so be careful. Pet hate number 2: Reserving lounges There are plenty of loungers, but some people thought it was perfectly OK to put towels on a sun lounger and not return to them for 6-7 HOURS. In other resorts that I’ve stayed at – if you are not on a lounger for 45 minutes, the towels are removed to let other families use the loungers. Pool towels are

I can’t say enough about this hotel. In short the staff make it an amazing experience. We arrived early in the morning and were greeted at the front desk by Fedra and Isolte who were very helpful informative and arranged our luggage to be kept until our room was ready which was given shortly after the other guests departure with no delay. I must thank Melina in reservations for assisting prior to arrival and also greeted us at the check-in. We were taken to the room by Sakis the porter who was chatty and explained the room facilities very well.The room was spotless and smelled of cleanliness. Two types of pillows were provided (soft and hard) which suited both my husband and I. The room maintenance was also very good, no noise from air-conditioning and well soundproofed. There was an excellent television system with various channels and information for all you needed to know of the hotel services and facilities. We needed some assistance in booking our a la carte meals and guest relations Fotini was very helpful in arranging this. She had a very good knowledge of the hotel’s services and happenings and was very pleasant to talk to. The hotel grounds are well kept with lush greenery and spacious gardens throughout. All outdoor areas are constantly clean throughout the day and the sea views are amazing. The food is amazing. The buffet has all you need for all preferences with live cooking stations for omelettes, eggs and crepes. Fresh salads and fruit and well cooked tasty dishes. Allergens were clearly marked and areas were kept clean even at peak times. The kids buffet was also a great option and I must admit that I helped myself to a few items. Thank you to Christos who served us daily. The a la carte restaurants were excellent. Both the food and the service were at very high standards. The staff in all three restaurants work very hard and yet manage to seem relaxed and are well organised allowing time to speak with each guest. Their sincere hospitality shone through. A special mention to Sevastos who seemed to be everywhere, Chrysa and Julia at the Asian, Giannis at taverna, Angela and Konstantina at the Italian. All very kind, polite and caring that was evident for all tables. The entertainment was great for families and adults and the water park a great addition to complement the rest of the daily activities.  Christos from the reception also organised a taxi for us to visit the 7 springs nature trail and the medieval old town which were both a good day out. The old town is also attached to the newer part of Rhodes City Centre where you can also stop for a coffee and local delicacies and do some shopping. Well done to the hotel manager and his team for all that they offer and especially the atmosphere and hospitality.We would definitely recommend Atlantica Aegean Blue and hope to return to this or another Atlantica in the future.

Excellent part sea view/pool balcony. Fabulous swimming pools and places to relax with beach to swim and enjoy. Entertainment good. Lovely room, clean and well attended by staff. Great choice of food, staff very friendly and helpful. Pack lunches should be available when out on day trips.

Lovely hotel, really nice staff, especially the 3 main ones at the main pool bar! They made drinking even more fun with their banter! So look out for these 3 if you want a good time 🤣👍🏼😜 Shout out to Nikos too at the lobby bar! Top man 👍🏼👍🏼
