This was our 3rd visit to the Hotel Island Blue, the last visit being June 2018, so we were really excited to return, and hoping not much had changed.
As previously, the accommodation was fantastic and we were not disappointed.
The cleaners do a brilliant job every day in the rooms and around the property, working really hard in the heat.
Some sunbeds were being reserved before 8am. Not necessary when we went, and we were always able to get 2 together at any time of the day, and did mean that the cleaners, who hose the sunbeds down, were unable to clean those sunbeds in the morning.
Food at the pool bar was excellent. We often ate there during the day and had a couple of takeaways to eat in our room. Prices are comparable to everywhere in Pefkos.
Really pleased to say that this hotel continues to be a little gem. We will return.

Excellent rooms, swimming pool and breakfast. But above all is the staff who make this such a great place to stay - they are friendly, helpful and efficient.

Rooms were of high quality, beds fairly comfortable.
AC could have worked better, but did the trick.
Great shower pressure. Only a shampoo/body wash combined mix so make sure to bring any lotion, conditioner, etc.
Staff were friendly and always said hi. Particularly Nicky at the check in desk :)
Easy to walk to other shops and restaurants (10 min max). Felt safe walking around alone at night.
No beach towels provided, or even a collateral system in place. So if you only have carry on luggage, saving room for a towel is just not worth it.
Breakfast was fine, catered very much to the English palate. Wish there was more authentic Greek food and even some nice coffee would be welcomed.
A bus every hour or so to Lindos so easy to get there for the day or an evening meal. Bus is 1.80€ each way.
Can also take the bus to Rhodes Town, as I did, and then onto the airport. Takes a while but a nice coach (often 15 min late). In total it was just over an hour and a half to Rhodes Town and another 30-40 to the airport. There is no direct bus to the airport from Pefkos so you have to change at the central bus station in Rhodes town.
Nice to have access to 4 separate pools and a fitness centre (although Expedia does not state there is a gym on site). Gym is nice. Will include photos. New equipment and decent selection for such a small room.
There is direct access to a Sandy beach. The water is stunning. There is some room to put a towel down or 15€ for chair.

Ideal family apartments with separate bedroom and separate bathroom gives much needed space and privacy.
Lovely big comfortable queen size bed in the main room.
Air con was very efficient also.
My only negative comment would be the main bathroom was beginning to look and feel a bit tired.

Fantastic hotel
Posted 5 Aug 2022 on HotelsAbsolutely amazing place!
Positives: All the staff were so friendly, from reception to cleaners. Rooms were very clean and beds were comfortable. The view from the room was overlooking the pool and gorgeous. Greek night and Abba tribute night was fantastic.
Negative: sunbeds are rubbish and need replacing.
Water shortage, not the hotel's fault as it effected the whole of Pefkos. The hotel supplied water in bottles.
I would definitely recommend and want to return.

Island Blue has the look and feel of a contemporary stay
