Lindos Blu

The experience at the hotel begins with a warm welcome from Mr. Nikos Triantafyllakis, where we then went to the Ala Carte five senses restaurant. We have eaten in many Michelin-awarded restaurants and have experienced all the cuisines in the world, the experience we had and tasted at the Ala Carte five senses restaurant with my husband was simply unique. Let me mention the wonderful service, the magnificent view, the flavors of the dishes that were in a separate category. There is no comparison. An integral part of the experience was Mr. Rene who constantly looked after us and Mr. George who helped us with the choice of food and wine. Thankful for giving us the opportunity to live an unforgettable experience.

Superb staff. Lovely views and setting, very comfortable room, the bed was sublime. We spent most of our daytimes at the beach, you can walk down but it’s very steep, there is both a lift (from Lindos Mare) and a buggy, with call buttons at both the top and bottom of the hill. The sun loungers are incredibly comfortable. Breakfast is served in Smeraldo - cold buffet and bakery are both excellent, was less thrilled with the hot buffet but there were plenty of alternatives, and eggs are also freshly cooked to order (but the queue can sometimes be a bit long.) The buffet in Smeraldo is very good value, and there is also an à la carte option there every night - more daily specials really with one option for each course, and these can be mixed and matched with the buffet. Our one grumble about dinner in Smeraldo was that we would have liked to have seen more classic Greek options available every evening as a matter of course. 5 Senses has a very calm setting but was rather too sheltered from the breeze, and as there were only two other tables taken on the evening we were there it was a bit lacking in atmosphere. Service also wasn’t quite on the money - the highly recommended rosé - which we were persuaded to have instead of the one we had initially chosen - arrived at the table at room temperature and had to be whisked away to chill for 10 minutes. Not what you would expect from a restaurant of this calibre. However, service was charming, the food was delicious and, as you might expect in a fine dining restaurant, you are served amuse buches first, so skip the first course ( or order two starters) if you don’t have a big appetite. The staff were all wonderful and it’s hard to pick out anyone in particular, but the reception team are all incredibly helpful and pleasant to deal with, Johanna and Sarah run a very slick service in the main bar, and Spiri is a delight in Smeraldo. The final word has to go to Caterina in the shop - she is super helpful and charming but not in a schmoozy way, and was sensible in her recommendations. The shop is remarkably good value for a hotel store, has beautiful beach cover ups, clutch bags etc, as well as essentials like sun cream and hats. We will be going back, just yet to decide when.

We had the best time at the wonderful Lindos blu hotel. The staff was amazing and so incredibly helpful. The room was beautiful with the most amazing views and every amenity. Breakfast and every meal we had was absolutely delicious. We can’t wait to return to this gorgeous hotel.

I really don’t know where to start! I am not going to make this a long review… well maybe… 😂 simply because it is not needed. We’ve just arrived home from staying in this remarkable hotel and already planning next year! Do I want to share with you readers…. Not really but I’m thinking the secret is already out!! Excellent excellent excellent…. I repeat myself because there is nothing else to say!! Hotel excellent… room excellent… staff excellent… food excellent……. We always travel and book bed and breakfast so we can explore… we didnt…. At all!! It’s like a super yacht on land! Every single person working at lindos Blu deserves huge praise… I cried when we left! To Anastasia to Nikos…to every other team member… thank you so much for making this the holiday of our dreams! See you next year! Ginny & Dave xxx

Absolutely loved everything about this hotel, gorgeous location, gorgeous hotel and immaculate facilities, modern, airy, classy. Chose this hotel as it is a member of the small luxury hotels of the world and it did not disappoint. The food was incredible, so much choice at all mealtimes and everything was just delicious. But the real stand out … the staff, such warm friendly service without being over the top. Nothing was too much trouble, friendly and welcoming reception team, attentive restaurant service at all times and beautifully cleaned rooms every day. Fabulous beach drinks service too and the most comfortable sunbeds I have ever experienced. The hotel is on a steep hillside location, but there are lifts to all areas and a beach buggy service. However, me and my husband loved the twice daily challenge of the 238 steps from the beach back up to our room each day! The pool is ideal for a dip or laps and was a nice temperature. Awesome views from most areas of the hotel, particularly lovely from the restaurant terrace. Treats left in our room each day and a surprise cake appeared on my birthday, so nice. Already looking a re-booking for next year. Thank you for a truly exceptional experience.
