All Senses Ocean Blue Sea Side Resort

Not a family destination. Cleanliness is not the goal here. Dirt at every step and corner. The children's chairs in the canteen have not been washed for years. Fungus on the table leg. Pool area black and dirty. Rotting dates under palm trees, sunbeds and on sidewalks. Many stray cats in the hotel. Looks good in pictures but not in reality - in dire need of repairs.

We LOVED this hotel, yes it’s a teeny little shabby - they could do with some sprucing up, HOWEVER it’s clean, and the staff all work SO hard, everyone we spoke to from reception, to the cleaning staff to the spa, they are all so friendly, the food was really good. We had a massage at the spa which was absolutely fantastic. Everything about this holiday was brilliant. The atmosphere is so relaxing and the pool is a great size, the complex is small enough that you can walk everywhere with no trouble. The pool bar had constant snacks of sandwiches, cake, biscuits fruit and ice cream. We can’t leave a review without mentioning Ian from the entertainment team. He is such an asset to have, I have never in my life seen a person work harder, he is there 6 days a week, all day long. Working long hours and ALWAYS with a smile on his face, remembering people names and facts they have told him, he went out of his way to make sure my mum (in her 70’s) was comfortable as she has a bad foot (injured before the holiday), and talking with my very shy 10yr son, my son had the confidence to join in water polo on the last day and that was 100% down to the fact that Ian was the person leading it.

I only had an overnight here as I thought why not an overnight in an all-inclusive instead of an overnight in a city hotel. But it really is budget. The staff are very friendly and the grounds are beautiful but the rooms are tired and they are lacking in maintenance staff. We had the swim up pool rooms by the main pool. The swim up pools were like a narrow moat about 1m wide and 1m deep say. Not to be confused with the nicer looking rooms by reception that have about a 2.5 by 2.5m swim up pools. Our channel pools had leaves and cigarette butts floating in them and I don't think they clean the decking that belongs to your room because there was rubbish on the ground. And the bathrooms needed a good scrub and the shower curtain needed binning. Directly in front of our room was also the main pool which had all the sunbeds around. But three sunbeds were absolutely covered in bird poo which really turned me off, that for the entirety of our stay was just left there instead of being removed by staff. The floors of the spa building needed a detailed clean and the windows of the spa building looked like they hadn't been cleaned in months. In the restaurant they didn't clean the tables. The waitstaff removed the plates of the previous guests, gave a flick round of the placemats and then re-set. There was tomato sauce on one of the mats. Now if you're looking for a cheap and cheerful girls/lads holiday then great, but if you've saved up and are looking to pay thousands for a decent family or couples holiday, look elsewhere.

Hotel is located in a great area, 10 mins from airport and approximately 25 mins from Rhodes city centre. Hotel staff is very friendly, especially thanks to bartenders Daniel and Antonis. Daniel is a great hardworking guy and does his job professionally. Antonis, older gentleman who is always positive and hard working. Also, Maria which manages meals and staff. I had a great experience at being there for 10 days, beach next to hotel is not so wide but also not so crowded. Close to hotel is a great shop called “Anastasia” which is located to cat’s shelter. Fare prices and variety of goods. Being honest, I cannot complain the experience I got, but some minor improvements could be made: 1. Hotels area could be more fixed (some broken lights and staff in area) hotel needs some renovation. 2.Evening shows which are managed by French girl Luna and guy from Croatia. Programme could be more entertaining for guests, more programmes like geek night show, also Sunday evening programme which was missing. Baby disco was great, kids were happy. 3. Towel for swimming pool. Overall, I do recommend this place and friendly personal.

Please note this is no longer a tui hotel any longer which we found out well into our holiday from another guest which is abit naughty of tui, anyway that is another matter. Bear in mind this hotel is a 3 star and that’s being generous. Pool side toilets absolutely stink vile, baby changing is literally situated right outside the men’s toilet also. The room only got cleaned with clean bed sheets twice a week, there were days where no cleaners had entered the room. The food from the all inclusive was vile with hardly any change or selection from night to night, in fact me and my partner lost weight and managed on fries for 2 weeks until we found a decent takeaway during the last few evenings on the island, entertainment was terrible but I did actually feel sorry for the entertainers has the guests of this hotel were on the elderly side and was not interested in socialising, I think if it wasn’t for the sun and the beach behind right behind the hotel our 2 weeks would of been hell with this hotel I mean you can’t call 10 sandwiches and a few cakes pool bar snacks ohh and not to mention ants coming through with the lemonade out the drinks machine in the restaurant.

I came here with my partner , and we had a very nice time together . We liked everything , our room was cleaned every time and all the staff made their best to make us feel like home. We liked also the food , they had a lot of food variety and our favorite was gyros at greek night . All in all we had a nice and relaxed time , and we will definitely come back in the future.
