Labranda Blue Bay Resort

Best features: The water slides – were nice, the kids enjoyed them The pizza served by the pool was good The Greek yogurt served at breakfast The hotel staff is very nice.

The Hotel is old, it is mostly felt in the beds – the mattresses are VERY old and should have been replaced twice over. The A/C not working properly in the rooms (either freezing or hot), the TV channels are very few, no proper content for kids in English. The meals in the “restaurants” are very basic and the food is very similar to the food served in the dining hall, felt like a waste to eat there. The room we ordered was to be a room “in the main building” specifically but the room we were provided was actually in block 4000 (the main building is block 1000, than there’s 2000 and 3000 and the next building is 4000), the room felt very neglected with very old beds. After several complaints made to the front desk staff we were moved to the main building, where the beds were a little better, the A/C worse and the TV disappointing. The hotel surrounding feels like a deserted village – nothing to see or to do. In the hotel lobby there was a photographer that took our picture and then charged us 7 EURO per picture – which was blurry, in this day and age – who does that? Why would anyone let this ridiculous photograph hustler work in a hotel? Our vacation was mostly – disappointing. Not horrible, but certainly not as good as we were expecting or hoping. Mostly due to the shortcomings of this hotel where everything was somehow – less than it should be.

The hotel was close to the seaside. Liked that there is a lot of entertainment for kids.

I was missing more options for breakfast, for example, the packages were really hard to eat even my son is "Pancake person" he was rejecting them because they were dry, simple change sometimes the breakfast choices because not all the people eat English breakfast every day. Pool water for babies was really cold as funny as it sounds. To close to the airport the planes were flying every 10min.
