What We Think?
Why not call any of our Tour Consultants on 020 7100 2323 – they have ALL been to The Blue Water Hotel and can answer any of your questions!

In A Nutshell:
The Blue Water Hotel has a sense of style. The hotel lies in a very quiet area so there are not many local shops or restaurants nearby. A holiday here will therefore suit people who want total relaxation in luxury and are content with facilities based in the hotel itself. Having said this, the hotel is well located for numerous day and stopover excursions as mentioned above.

Tips: You should plan to combine a stay here with 1 or 2 longer stopover excursions to the interior of the island. This will enable you to have an interesting and enjoyable holiday while using the Blue Water Hotel to totally relax in between excursions.

Rooms

Add mod-cons like satellite TVs and air-conditioning plus your own balcony or terrace and they’re great little hideaways.

• Superior Rooms: Much larger with superior furnishings, directly overlooking the beach.

Mediterranean, and theme nights.
