Blue Bay Halkidiki

Very good nice clean excellent breakfast

Had 2 brilliant weeks here. Everything was pretty much perfect. The views were the best I've seen and I've been to a lot of beautiful places. The room was fine needs a bit of touching up in places. Breakfast was ok same as any other hotel. The usual cheese cooked meats ceral. Cooked breakfast fruit tea coffee cakes. The staff at this hotel make the holiday that's my opinion. Bar, restaurant, cleaning,staff were lovely. Little Maria in the breakfast room was lovely really friendly. (Hope you have a lovely holiday -honey moon). Would definitely recommend you won't be disappointed.

Such a wonderful hotel in a spectacular location. We both had a wonderful time and would dog back. We were greeted on arrival with a glass of sparkling wine and showed to our room by Sophia, who also showed us where the restaurant and pool were located. Our room (416) was spacious and comfortable. It faced one of the hotel’s other buildings and beyond that the sea. There was a little garden outside. The bathroom felt luxurious. In June it was fairly easy to get a lounger by the pool. The beach was 160 ish steps down, some of which were quite steep. Wonderful to see small, primrose coloured butterflies on the way down. The beach is sandy and slopes down very gently. The beach cafe provides loungers for customers spending 9 works plus, which seemed very reasonable ( would recommend the ice cream!!!). A generous breakfast buffet was provided at the hotel, with an array of sweet and savoury delights! Would recommend the apple pie and the small apple tartlets. Staff were all friendly and kind. A special thanks to the 3 Maria’s and Theo from the restaurant, who seemed genuinely delighted that we were having a wonderful time. Afytos itself is a 10-15 mini walk away. It is very pretty with lots of shops, bars and restaurants

Just returned after seven days staying in this wonderful hotel. What an absolute delight , the room we stayed in (217) had a huge crescent shaped balcony with sun beds and a fabulous panoramic view of the hotel and coastline. The staff were amazing, from the reception, bar staff, cleaners and breakfast staff (especially Maria who was very attentive) The rooms were cleaned daily to a very high standard and breakfast had a great choice. I would highly recommend this hotel. There are 150 steps down to the beach, but providing you have no walking difficulties and are of average health they were not too difficult as the steps are in stages and not continuous, there is only a handrail on the top section. Will definitely be returning, thank you Blue Bay Hotel 10 out of 10 👍

From the moment we arrived till leaving, we had a fantastic time at the Blue Bay. Our room was spotlessly clean, with a very comfortable big bed, small fridge and amazing bathroom! We had a superior double with a side sea view. The ladies who cleaned our room everyday were very friendly and efficient. Breakfast was between 7 and 11 each morning with a really good selection of hot and cold buffet style. I had fresh fruit, eggs, toast, croissants and coffee most mornings. There was plenty to choose from. The hotel has 2 pools, a smaller one and a much larger one with lots of comfortable sun loungers around them. Pool towels are free, beach towels are 1 euro each. We did walk down to the nearby beach to swim. There must have been close to 100 steps, but they were gradual and quite manageable for most people with a reasonable fitness level. We ate some snacks at the bar and these were delicious and well presented. The staff were always pleasant and very polite. We ate out most evenings at nearby Afytos, a 10-15 minute walk. 5 euros by taxi. Our favourite was the taverna of staki. The staff were great and the food some of the best we ate. Average price for a couple who ordered starters, main and drinks totalled around €45. Some lovely shops too. All in all, I would recommend the Blue Bay hotel 100%. It was relaxing, well equipped, well run and had fantastic staff. Huge plus was the weather. A really sunny and warm week for early October! Thank you Blue Bay hotel!

Stunning hotel with immense views of the blue sea. Staff are lovely, special mention to ‘crazy’ Maria who is just such a lovely young lady. The hotel is clean and well maintained and just an easy 15 minute walk into Afitos which is just a stunning village. Only negatives is the nonsense of reserving sun beds by at the latest 8am. Definitely not enough sun beds or loungers to accommodate the number of guests. However would definitely come back and we highly recommend it. We met some lovely guests here (Mr and Mrs Leeds) ❤️ xxxx

A truly wonderful hotel. From the moment we arrived the staff were attentive and always smiling. Enjoyed breakfast each morning which is served to 11am, particularly the very good coffee. We were staying B&B only but did use the Al a Carte restaurant one evening and weren't disappointed. Exceptional food, and lovely service yet again. It's about a 15 minute walk to Afytos which isn't too hard, but reception are happy to call a taxi which usually arrives in 5 minutes or so and costs 5 Euros. Afytos itself is lovely, some truly beautiful bars and restaurants and really good shopping for souvenirs. In 10 days we never experienced anything negative expect for a few days of challenging weather, but even that couldn't take the shine off this amazing place.

Lovely places to eat in Afytos. Nice beach but need to be mobile to climb back up the steps. At breakfast, if you want tea you have to make your own tea bag but I took my own from the room. Tiny slow toaster, could do you with a bigger one. Very clean. Saving a sun bed with towels from 7 am is irritating but happens all over. Lovely staff.
