Stayed here at this wonderful hotel in May for a special birthday and what a special treat it was. From the minute of arrival till check out we were treated royally by all staff we encountered. We were delighted that our room was upgraded to a shared pool room and the gift of sparkling wine and sweet treats on my birthday was much appreciated. A discount at the spa was used for a wonderful treatment experience. The food was lovely and plenty choices. The location out of town made it a lovely quiet location which we wanted, however the local bus service into Kos Town was easy to use and a timetable available from reception. The beach area, a short walk from the hotel had beds and umbrellas exclusive for hotel guests and the sea breeze was welcome. The entire hotel is spotlessly clean, the rooms are comfortable, the staff a delight and some of the evening entertainment was impressive. Our first ever trip to Kos won't hopefully be our last.

This was our 5th stay at Blue Lagoon Ocean and it was another wonderful stay. The hotel is 35 minutes from the airport and we like that it is not in the busy part of Kos, but Kos Town is 10 minutes away and easily accessible by bus or taxi. The private hotel beach is across the road and easy to access. The staff at Blue Lagoon Ocean work hard and are continually ensuring that you are enjoying your stay. The staff are attentive and remember guests dietary needs or any other other needs you have whilst staying with them. There are 2 large pools and plenty of sun loungers that are well spaced out, there is never a problem to find somewhere to sit and relax. The managers, reception staff and housekeeping make a point of remembering guests and thanking them for returning. We now feel like it's home from home. The evening entertainment is perfect for this hotel. There isn't something every night, but this hotel is not somewhere that needs it. We chose Blue Lagoon Ocean because we want to stay somewhere beautiful, quiet, and relaxing. We chose a Garden View Room with Sharing Pool again as we enjoyed staying in one last year. In previous years we've had a Pool View room. In terms of location of the rooms, that's down to choice, but the amenities, cleanliness and relaxing atmosphere is the same and all rooms have tea/coffee making facilities and air conditioning. On arrival we now receive a complimentary 'Welcome Back' bottle of wine, and if you arrive after dinner there are sandwiches and fruit in your fridge. We believe Blue Lagoon Ocean to be worth every penny and have never had a bad experience staying there. The food is fantastic, there is a lot of choice of drinks at the pool bar and the hotel is maintained to an exceptionally high standard. I'll also add that the managers are a constant presence and don't expect their staff to do things that they wouldn't. We've seen them helping at breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as helping to transport water to the beach bar and restock the fridge. They lead by example and are respected for it. Blue Lagoon Ocean is our favourite place to stay.

What an absolutely amazing holiday, from start to finish excellent service from all ares of the hotel. Staff out of this world so friendly and attentive at all times and far too many too mention by name as all superb. Our room was spotless and the whole hotel is exceptionally clean. We loved the location as it is quiet and the hotel puts on entertainment and it is very easy to get the bus to Kos town. Food amazing with so much choice on all the theme nights and the wonderful management team Michalis and Kamil are there to greet you every night. What is so lovely is management and staff all work together and create such a wonderful atmosphere. The Restaurant Electra is definitely worth a visit and it was great to be able to go twice as we stayed two weeks. Thank you Blue Lagoon Ocean see you next year

We’ve just come back from a fantastic stay at Blue Lagoon Ocean and had a brilliant holiday. If you’re looking for a modern, spotless adults-only hotel where you can completely switch off and relax, this is definitely one to consider. Staff & Service The first thing that stood out was the staff. Every single member of the team was genuinely friendly, welcoming and hardworking. It honestly felt like nobody ever stopped moving. Whether it was taking drink orders, clearing plates or checking if you needed anything, the service was constant without ever feeling over the top. As soon as you’d finished eating or your drink was empty, someone was there. It was some of the best service we’ve had at an all-inclusive hotel and nothing ever seemed too much trouble. The Hotel The hotel itself is immaculate. It’s now in its seventh season, so it’s not brand new, but you genuinely wouldn’t know it. Everything is maintained to an incredibly high standard and the whole place feels fresh and modern. Being adults-only makes a huge difference too. The atmosphere is peaceful and relaxed, but never feels lifeless. There was a good mix of younger and older couples during our stay, with most guests appearing to be from the UK, Germany and the Netherlands. Private Pool Room We stayed in one of the private sea view pool rooms and it was absolutely stunning. From what we understand, there are only two of these rooms. They’re tucked away in the top left corner of the resort overlooking the sea, so they’re incredibly quiet and private. The views were beautiful and having your own pool really made the holiday feel special. One thing that surprised us was the pool itself. We’d expected more of a shallow plunge pool, but it was around 1.4 metres deep, so it was perfect for a proper swim and cooling off. The only slight downside was that the terrace and pool were in the shade by around 2pm. For us though, that actually worked really well. We’d spend the morning enjoying our private pool before heading down to one of the two main pools for the afternoon. It gave us the best of both worlds. There were always plenty of sunbeds available too. This definitely isn’t one of those resorts where people are up at 6am putting towels out. No matter what time we went down, there were always beds free. If you enjoy people watching or prefer a bit more atmosphere, you’ll probably like splitting your time between your private pool and the main pools. Equally, if complete peace and quiet is what you’re after, the private pool rooms are perfect. Food The food was good throughout our stay. Breakfast and lunch offered plenty of choice, while dinner followed different themes each evening including Greek, Italian, Mexican and International. The Greek and Mexican nights were definitely our favourites. One thing worth mentioning is that my partner can’t eat dairy, and dairy seemed to be in almost everything, even things you wouldn’t expect like the individual jellies. There was usually only one dessert without dairy, if that. We asked if they had dairy-free yoghurt and although they didn’t have any, they happily ordered some in for the next morning. Unfortunately it turned out to be lactose-free rather than dairy-free, so it still wasn’t suitable. We’ve found this happens quite a lot across Europe, so I wouldn’t really criticise the hotel for it, but it would be nice to see a few more genuinely dairy-free options. Drinks The drinks were probably the weakest part of the all-inclusive package. The beer is very light with quite a low %, so while it’s refreshing enough in the Greek heat, if you’re someone who enjoys a decent beer you’ll probably find it a little disappointing. The local spirits were fairly basic too, and premium brands cost €8 per shot, which felt quite expensive. During the day drinks are served in smaller plastic cups by the pool, and in the evening you get proper glasses, although they’re still only around half a pint. Officially it’s one drink per person each time, but we never had any problems taking two back to the table. The cocktails weren’t really for us either. Quite a few seemed to come from slushy machines or pre-made mixes and were very sweet. That’s just personal preference though because plenty of other guests seemed to enjoy them. Overall, the drinks were pretty much what we’d expect from a standard all-inclusive. If premium drinks are an important part of your holiday, you’d probably be better looking at an ultra all-inclusive resort. Evening Entertainment The evening entertainment was a bit hit and miss. Most nights were fairly average, although there was one rock duo with an incredible guitarist who were excellent. What was consistently excellent though was the evening table service. Drinks arrived quickly and the staff were always checking if you needed anything. We usually watched the entertainment for a while before deciding whether to stay or head into Kos Town. More often than not, we ended up going into town. Location The hotel is in a fairly quiet location, so don’t expect lots within walking distance. There’s a beach directly opposite the hotel, and Ammo’s Beach Club is nearby, which attracts a younger crowd. On Wednesdays and Sundays they have club nights with music until the early hours. Depending on where your room is, you can hear it, but it never really bothered us. There’s also a small shop on site that sells pretty much everything you could need, which is really handy. Just be aware it’s very expensive. If you don’t mind a short walk, there’s a mini market about five to ten minutes away next to the go-kart track that’s much more reasonably priced. It’s definitely worth the walk if you need drinks, snacks or any holiday essentials. There’s also a lovely traditional Greek café and restaurant between the hotel and the mini market. We didn’t eat there so can’t comment on the food, but we did stop for a drink on the way back and it was a nice little place. Kos Town is only around 10 to 15 minutes away. The bus costs just €2 each way, while taxis were usually between €10 and €15. We also used the electric scooters dotted around the island. They aren’t the cheapest way to get around, but they were really useful when we didn’t want to wait for the bus or couldn’t find a taxi, which happened more often than we expected. Check-Out Check-out is a very civilised 12 noon. Our airport transfer wasn’t until 8pm, so we paid €95 for a late check-out, which gave us a room until 6pm. Unfortunately our original room wasn’t available, so we did have to move. That could have been a bit of a pain in such a large resort, but one of the hotel porters took us and all our luggage between rooms in a buggy, making the whole process incredibly easy. It was another great example of just how good the staff are. At the time we thought the €95 was worth paying because we assumed it meant we could continue using all the facilities. We later realised that all guests can use the pools, bars, restaurants and complimentary shower facilities after checking out anyway. Looking back, we probably wouldn’t have paid for the room had that been explained to us, but it certainly wasn’t a major issue. Overall We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wouldn’t hesitate to return. The hotel gets the important things absolutely right. It’s spotless, peaceful and has some of the best customer service we’ve experienced anywhere. The drinks package and evening entertainment could definitely be improved, but neither was enough to take away from what was a fantastic holiday. If you’re looking for a modern adults-only hotel with excellent food, exceptional staff and a genuinely relaxing atmosphere, Blue Lagoon Ocean is a great choice.
