Things to know
Warnings and unexpected charges

One reviewer found the laundry fees to be expensive, suggesting a potential hidden cost or an area where pricing is not competitive.

Why we chose this stay · Tier B
Blue Sand Boutique Hotel & Suites clearly aligns with the calmcation ethos, offering a tranquil setting, direct beach access, and a focus on relaxation. It meets core requirements for private outdoor space, water access, and a slow pace. While it excels in many areas, the minor concern about terrace privacy and the need for transport to the main village prevent it from reaching Tier A.

In guests' own words
Verified Booking.com reviews, unedited.
“Breakfast was good, location was picturesque, lovely beach right at your feet. The hotel organised quad bikes for us, and we were picked up and taken to our bike, which was helpful. Plus they came to hotel to pick the bikes up at the end which made things easy. Pleasant and helpful staff, and complimentary pickup and drop off to and from the port was ideal.”
“The hotel is right above the beach with incredible views. The hotel gives you umbrellas and chairs to take down to the beach. There is a large terrace near reception that they serve breakfast on, it s a beautiful spot for an afternoon beer! There are tavernas right by the beach down the hill from the hotel. The room was very comfortable, with a great bathroom. They will pick you up straight from the port and they track the ferry timing for you.”
