Facilities
Pool & outdoors
Families are spoiled for choice when it comes to water. There are three outdoor freshwater pools, including at least one with an integrated children’s section, all flanked by sunbathing terraces with loungers and parasols. Pool towels are free, so you can pack lighter.
The on-site splash park is the star of the show for younger guests, with a tipping bucket and water features open daily between roughly 10:00 and 18:00 (seasonal, with age/height restrictions applying for safety).
For a quieter dip, adults can retreat to the indoor freshwater pool in the spa area, usually heated between May and October and reserved for grown-ups.
Step outside the hotel and you’re onto Kolymbia’s beachfront, a long curve of soft sand and shingle with clear, gently shelving water that’s ideal for paddling and swimming. Sunbeds and watersports are available locally (independent operators, extra charges).
Spa, sports & wellness
Active guests can keep up their routine in the air-conditioned gym, equipped with cardio machines and a free-weights area. A daytime activity programme brings aerobics, aqua aerobics, yoga, darts, table tennis, short tennis and volleyball (some activities may be at set times or incur small local charges).
In the spa, adults (16+) can unwind in the sauna and whirlpool or book massage and beauty treatments for a little extra indulgence. Opening hours typically run from late morning to early evening and services are subject to a supplement.
There’s frequent daytime and evening entertainment during the main season, from small team games and poolside fun to in-house shows and live music.
Practical touches include a 24-hour style reception, concierge-style assistance, luggage storage and an on-site mini-market for snacks, inflatables and beach essentials.

Food & drink
Blue Sea Island Resort punches above its weight on dining, especially for families who like variety without straying far from the sun loungers. The main buffet restaurant anchors the experience, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner with live cooking stations, international favourites and Greek classics. Kids have their own buffet area and highchairs are available.
Right by the beach, a food-court-style set-up offers several themed outlets: Greek dishes, pizza and pasta, healthy salads and fruit, and a patisserie and gelateria for crêpes and ice cream. It’s a brilliant, informal way to graze between sea swims and splash-park runs.
For evenings, choose between the lobby bar, pool bar, beach bar and waterpark snack bar, all serving a range of local drinks as part of the All Inclusive package for at least 12 hours a day. Expect a smart-casual dress code in the main and à la carte restaurants (no beachwear; long trousers requested for gentlemen in the evening).
All Inclusive typically covers buffet meals, snacks between main service times, local alcoholic and soft drinks for a minimum of 12 hours daily, plus one complimentary dinner per stay at the Greek à la carte (reservation required and subject to availability). Offerings can change seasonally, so check the latest details on arrival. What All Inclusive typically includes.
