We are having a truly wonderful stay at Blue Horizon Hotel. The food is absolutely exceptional – fresh, varied, and full of flavor. Every meal feels like a treat. The staff is another highlight: warm, welcoming, and genuinely polite. They are going out of their way to make us feel comfortable and looking after throughout our stay.
However, the one major downside – and unfortunately the reason I can’t give a full 5 stars – is the situation with the poolside sunbeds. The hotel allows guests to reserve them by leaving towels early in the morning, which means by 8 AM, every sunbed with umbrella is “claimed,” even if no one is actually using them for hours. Unless you’re willing to remove other people’s towels (which is awkward and likely to cause conflict), you’re left with no choice but to rent a sunbed with umbrella at the beach for 4 euros per day or take a spare sunbed and hide in the bushes. It’s frustrating and feels unfair, especially at an otherwise high-standard hotel.
Such a simple issue to fix, yet it really affects the experience. If the hotel addressed this, it would be a solid 5-star stay without question.

Good, tidy hotel. You wouldn't say it was built in 1985. We traveled with an agency, got a better room than booked because there were no available standart rooms, which was very nice surprise. We lived in bungalow-type rooms. The only downside is that ants come, so it's very important not to leave food in visible place. In mid-May, the hotel was cozy and quiet, no big noise from the neighboring rooms. During our stay, most guests were older people.
Food - varied, dinner is different every day. Some are tasty, some are not so good. Sometimes pancakes were overcooked at breakfast. In the evening, any drinks are paid, if the package is not all-inclusive.
The staff is quite friendly. The rooms are cleaned every day if you want, we cleaned every other day. The quality of cleaning is excellent.
Sunbeds on the beach are paid. By the pool they were free. The beach is rocky, it's difficult to swim without water shoes.
The pool was open until 6 pm.
The entertainment program - in my opinion weak. I don't know, maybe it's different during peak season. During our stay, all the activities were led by the same person. The daytime entertainment included stretching, darts, water aerobics. In the evening there was a concert program, karaoke, fire show, musical quiz. Bingo evening was paid, 10 euros.
Beautiful surroundings, lots of greenery. I would be happy to return.

This hotel is extremely disappointing and far from what you’d expect from a 4-star establishment. The first thing that hits you is the unpleasant smell throughout the property. The facilities are outdated and poorly maintained, and the rooms are basic and unattractive. The beds are uncomfortable and hard asf, with stiff mattresses and low-quality pillows and a table cloth as a blanket.
The food is frankly terrible — closer to school cafeteria or institutional standards than anything remotely enjoyable. The atmosphere is chaotic, with loud music playing late into the night. It seems to mainly cater to older guests and families with young children, which could be a plus for some, but not for those seeking peace or a more refined experience.
The staff left a lot to be desired — unhelpful at best, and in some cases, quite rude. We did not feel welcomed or well-treated during our stay.
The guests were openly staring and judgmental, creating a tense and unpleasant environment. If you’re coloured, don’t go because you’re going to feel it !
On top of the poor quality, there are unexpected extra charges: no free parking (10€ per day) and a tourist tax of another 10€ per day, which quickly adds up.
Overall, this place feels more like a 2-star hotel at best. It’s overpriced, underdelivers, and not worth the money. Don’t be misled by overly positive reviews — this was one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve had.

The worst vacation experience I've ever had. The hotel manager is evil and incapable of holding a conversation. A shocking experience, poor service, an outdated hotel with no facilities. We were promised several things in an email before we arrived at the hotel, but in reality the manager belittled us and spoke in a degrading and disgusting manner. We will never return to this hotel.

Lovely clean well maintained hotel, friendly staff. Well situated near restaurants, gift shops and easy transport links for excursions. Buffet dinner varies every night which is great. Evening entertainment was also fantastic - got the gift of watching traditional Greek dancers, and shout out to Ben and Sami who performed stunts including flame throwing.
