St Spyridon, Blue Bay Escape Review

Overall Rating

Fantastic food. Very clean. Close to beach. Friendly staff.

Long transfer times. Not a lot of other things in the resort.

Just returned from Blue Bay Escape and it was a great place to take a holiday.

Food was fantastic if you tried all of the available dishes. Chicken nuggets and fish fingers are repetitive if that's all you have at home.
The kebabs in the day were great but ask for no salt! Wednesday is BBQ day by the pool and again, excellent.

The whole place is kept spotless by an army of cleaners and gardeners and the staff are friendly, if you are friendly to them. If you are rude to them (remember your manners) they will take an age to serve you. If you make the effort to get to know them there are no problems with them. Just by smiling and saying hello to the staff helps you out a lot.

Entertainment is a bit naff but we were in a party of 10 so we made our own entertainment.
Soccer school is great for the younger kids but is a bit pricey for what you get.

Went to Hydropolis, which was ok as a water park. It was big enough to cope with a lot of people but not as big as others elsewhere we've been on holiday. Booked it though Tanya travel, which is just down the small road.
Trips to Acharavi and Kassiopi, day or night, are recommended, even if it's just for a change of scenery.

the apartments are big enough for 4 and they are good enough for what you use them for. Sleeping and getting ready for the day or night.

Went to Molo's one night to watch the football and which was fine.
Valentino's is much better but the Lagoon caf is pretty poor. Overpriced and not a lot of food on your plate.
we were lucky enough to go to a Greek festival by Valentino's one evening and that was very busy. Stalls selling jewellery, cds, food and naff souvenirs. Owners didn't hassle you though and this was the same in all of the shops that we visited in the different resorts.

tried the water sports at the bottom of the hotel, and it was 15 euros per person on whatever rides you wanted. Went out for about 15 - 20 minutes on the 'Big Mable'. (Inflatable sofa!). Good fun and worth every cent.

Pool was great with plenty of sun beds but be warned, that the once German trait of reserving sun beds is now fully English. People were out after the pool bar shut at mid night putting towels out and getting the parasols.


there are mozzies flying about but not really a problem if you wear repellent and / or have the citronella candles from the shop. Only wasps we saw were flying around the soft drink dispenser in the pool bar.

the transfer is 2 hours and can get a bit hairy on the tight roads but it is worth it once you are there. You quickly forget it.

Overall, a great place to take a holiday and is definitely worth its 4 star plus rating.
