Blue Green Bay

Lovely location, basic hotel Firstly our holiday was fantastic, we visited 2 islands. This hotel on Skopelos was basically a room, and plain basic room at that but with a balcony. They was also a swimming pool, but the outdoor beach bar was a separate company which obviously have a deal with the hotel. There no other facilities, you are basically paying for the location on the beach (which is still very expensive for what you actually get). The view from the balcony was amazing. The amenities nearby were very basic, one very small supermarket and a few beach restaurants.

Lovely helpful staff & perfect location.

Absolutely paradise location, on Panormos Bay. We were extremely lucky to get a refurbished room, which was beautifully done. The views are simply magnificent. The lady on reception is extremely pleasant and helpful and is a credit to the Management at Blue Green Bay. We love it here but there is one thing that is extremely annoying and that the hard core dance music coming from the bar all day long. When you are trying to relax and chill out on the beach or around the pool, it’s really annoying and unnecessary, they should cater for all ages and not constant booming music. I do hope they can address this. Otherwise we love it here, don’t hesitate to book it.

We were looked after by the very efficient manager, Elena and her brilliant staff. The room was well presented and is situated near the pool and bar area. Breakfast was very good and it was only a short stagger to the beach. There are plenty of excellent places to eat nearby and there is a regular bus service with an adjacent stop. Highly recommend this establishment on this stunning island. Oh and Mikey and Costos will look after all your culinary and drinks needs with a smile and friendly style.

Last year this hotel was called “Ionisi”. I hope the new management has fixed some of the key problems. My stay at Ionisi was not worth even 1/3 of the 240 Eu I paid per night. In previous years I have stayed at much cheaper nearby “diamerismata” or “domatia” (rooms) that were far better. The good: Beautiful external architecture, nice pool, lots of beach chairs, very friendly staff The bad: Breakfast ok, not excellent. Could have more hot food (such as fried eggs, *warm* cooked vegetables (instead of at room temperature), higher quality coffee. Room was tiny, no good place to put luggage so it’s usable (could store bag vertically, but this is not practical; could not clothes empty into drawers as there was only ONE TINY drawer per person); had to place luggage on part of bed. It took 10-20 min to get hot water, EVERY time, because we’re (as we were told) at “end of line of hotel rooms”. Broken shower holder; during the first day we discovered this caused flooding in whole bathroom. Linen was put beautifully on bed, but NOT MADE! We had to make the beds ourselves. That’s fine for ultra-cheap hotels but not at 240 Eu per night. And then each day they MOVED everything (luggage etc) ruining our careful organization that was necessitated by the tinyness of the room, apparently so they could create an artistic but useless sheet arrangement! I asked them to please not “make” our room anymore. Safe was too small to hold a laptop. Bedside lamp did not work (inspector checks after room is made but apparently didn’t catch thus, or chose not to have it fixed in time for us).

We booked this little gem of a hotel the day before we stayed for just one night as we were staying in Skiathos for our holiday and decided to explore Skopelos for a couple of days. We were greeted by the very helpful Elenor who kindly booked our room. We had a first floor sea view room which was wonderful, great room with the most Amazing view. The breakfast the following day was the best we’ve experienced in all our travels. The bar staff were incredible, so helpful and friendly. We just could not fault it and will return next year and stay for longer next time. Thank you for a lovely stay.
