Blue Bay Beach Resort in Ialysos 851 01.

Blue Bay Beach Resort stands out for offering direct beachfront access with its own private stretch of sand—a rarity among Rhodes venues.

This 4-star hotel property delivers Mediterranean hospitality without requiring guests to travel between ceremony and reception locations, keeping all 150 potential guests within a single resort compound.

The on-site infrastructure handles both intimate gatherings and larger celebrations with dedicated event spaces overlooking the Aegean.

The Blue Bay Beach Resort is one of the best hotels in the world! I could spend a few wonderful days at this hotel for the fourth time. The previous 3 vacations were also perfect and excellent experiences, but this one exceeded all our imaginations. The hotel is more than 4 stars for me. The staff is incredibly kind and helpful, the rooms are clean, nice and comfortable, the sea view is magical, the services are excellent, the food selection in the main restaurant is extremely rich and delicious, The other restaurants are also impeccable. The evening programs are pleasant. The private beach is very good and well maintained. I read some stupid reviews. For example: children's noise: sorry, it’s a family hotel.!The sea is wavy: Incredible the sea can wave?! Oh my God! You should know that the west coast of Rhodes is always wavy. Are the planes loud: Really? The hotel description says it is close to the airport. Or the food is bad, the rooms are bad condition. These are simple lies. I advise such people to stay home! They don't deserve this excellent hotel! And a true story. The booking company messed up my reservation a bit, so we got another room, not the one I booked. That was nice too, but they very kindly provided a room change. And after the room change, we even received a gift! I will go this year too.
