Grand Blue Beach Hotel in Kardamaina

We thoroughly enjoyed our 10 day stay at the Grand Blue Beach Hotel and would return in the future, without a doubt.

The rooms are spacious & modern, with great sea views overlooking Turkey & some of the other Greek islands in the distance. You could sit for hours on the well sized balcony. We slept amazingly well during our stay, the beds are comfy & a great size too. My only criticism of the room is the shower, which could be cleaner & updated to more modern standards.

All of the staff are super friendly & extremely helpful in the bars & restaurants. The service was always fast, there was very rarely a queue at any of the bars, even during busier serving hours.

The food wasn't great at the hotel, if you paid for an all inclusive package, you may be disappointed, as there wasn't a huge selection of food on the buffet each day. The options at meal times are repetitive & often taste quite bland. Luckily, Kardamena is only a 10-15 minute walk away, where there are a wide variety of bars & restaurants to choose from, with much tastier options, especially for an evening meal.

We enjoyed having the choice of 3 very clean & well maintained pools, each with a different vibe, plus a nearby pool bar to all of them.

The location of the hotel is great for those wanting to venture out, whether that be to the nearby beach, the waterpark or just Kardamena itself. It is on quite a steep hill, which we didn't mind tackling every day. For those who struggle walking, there are golf buggies buzzing around the hotel grounds to give you a lift if needed.

There's also plenty of parking available, at the bottom of the hill near the beach, or at the top outside the reception building.

Pretty much everywhere in the hotel has a breath taking sea view, we can't wait to return to soak it all in again!

We stayed here for a week in October. It’s an absolutely gorgeous hotel! We had a junior suite which was spotlessly clean and had the most amazing views! Sunset from our balcony is something I will never forget! We were brought fresh water and clean towels every day. There was plenty of choice at meal times and the staff were genuinely some of the nicest people we have ever met! Kardamena is a very short walk away, just 10 mins along the beachfront. We visited the water park, Nisyros and also hired a car for a day and did a road trip round the island. We did not want to leave and cannot wait to go back! Hopefully for a 10 day stay next time rather than 7! ☺️

Ideally located around a 10 minute walk into the town centre.
We stayed in this hotel for 7 nights as a family of 4, room 320!
The hotel, staff and facilities were great and would say that they are a 5* hotel.
Food and drinks were plenty and a good choice for everyone.
A choice of 3 pools and a 2 minute walk onto the beach. If we were to come back to Kos I wouldn’t not hesitate to stay over again.

A great job by Maria the manager and staff and thank you for making us feel welcome.

Amazing hotel, friendly staff, great location, and transfer time from the airport to the hotel is just 10-15 minutes drive. The local village Kardamena is just a 10 minute walk and you get to walk on the beach front seeing the amazing scenic views. We stayed in room 230 and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Our room was a Junior Suite (2 adults and 2 children) with a spacious room and a view overlooking the beach. We wished we booked a 10 night stay instead of 7 but we did book a last minute holiday and end of season was great because it was not busy in the hotel. We managed to do 3 excursions (Nicyros Volcanic island, Kos Town and we even went to Bodrum in Turkey). Not bad for a 7 night stay. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone wanting beautiful views of the beach front and mountains.

Best hotel hotel. Rooms are beautiful and cleaned. Staffs are very friendly. Location are good for exercise. Everything is perfect. Great holiday ever.

My boyfriend and I had such a lovely time at Grand Blue last week! The hotel was super clean and the grounds were gorgeous. It’s right on the beach too which was lovely. The food could be a bit hit or miss on some days, but we’re not fussy so it didn’t bother us too much. All the staff we met were really friendly and welcoming, though at times it did feel like there wasn’t much of a staff presence around outside of the restaurants? Almost like it was just guests there. We loved how convenient everything was - there’s a little mini mart open till 10pm and it’s only a short walk into town which was great for exploring. Overall, we’d definitely recommend staying here if you’re after a comfy, good quality hotel. If you’re wanting something more high end you might want to look elsewhere, but for us it was a really nice and relaxing break.

Just spent a week here and it’s now definitely my favourite place I’ve ever been on holiday too. The hotel is beautiful, unbelievably clean and the staff were amazing! Want To give a massive shout out to ‘Tom’ who works on the bars what a lovely lad he is a true credit to the hotel. The food was great, drinks are fab plenty of choices with both! Will definitely be returning next year

The hotel overall is very spacious; the rooms are large and have good balcony/patio space. There are multiple pools with bars, with one of the pools overlooking the sea. The location of the hotels on the hills means a beautiful view of the sea and local village. Caddies are available upon request to drive you around the resort The local village is within a short walking distance with many shops and restaurants. There is also a small beach opposite the hotel. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful!

Rooms are clean and spacious. Lovely big bathroom with bath and overhead shower. Beds comfortable. Choice of 3 pools (1 adults only) Entertainment team are lovely and we’ve enjoyed the evening entertainment here. Will miss the staff. The village is also only a 10-15 min walk and has lovely shops and restaurants. Great location
