Lesante Blu Exclusive Beach Resort

This was our second visit to Lesante Blu, coming two years after our first. As previously, on this occasion the hotel lived up to it’s billing as ‘one of the leading hotels in the World’ Nothing is left to chance by the excellent management, and particularly the fine staff, in making the visitor the centre of their attention. From cleaners, waiting staff, to those on reception, everyone at the hotel works tirelessly to make their guests stay a memorable one. The five star treatment extends to the food served at one of the three high quality restaurants. Be that as part of the ‘half board’ five course themed taster menu served each evening, or the more à la carte menus served at the other two locations within the hotel. My one criticism from our last visit was the price of drinks throughout the hotel. The fact that we returned a second time would suggest that this wasn’t a deterrent. However, it is undoubtedly an issue, and was a matter of concern that we found amongst those other guests with whom we came into contact during our ten day stay. In less affluent times this might indeed reduce visitor levels. Make no mistake this is, as five star hotels go, near the top of the list and for that you expect top service with pricing to match. Should you be lucky enough to enjoy the former, don’t be too surprised by the latter!

Can’t recommend this hotel highly enough. If you’re looking for luxury and beautiful beach then this is the one for you !

What a truly idyllic hotel. The setting is incredible, so beautiful. Everything about the hotel is perfect. The staff can’t do enough for you. I would particularly like to send my heart felt appreciation to Peggy Sue who was serving at breakfast every morning. Peggy’s infectious smile and positive attitude was so wonderful, nothing was too much trouble. I can’t recommend this hotel enough. I can’t wait to go back next year x

Stayed here for a week at the end of August, the resort itself is absolutely gorgeous, clean and in a good location. However when I was there an outfit went missing from my suitcase, I notified reception, for 3 days there was no word for said outfit. When I went back to reception on the third day and showed them a picture of the outfit, they came to me 15 minutes later to tell me housekeeping found the outfit on top of my safe. The same safe I was in and out of a few times everyday. I didn’t argue about it I was just glad it was returned. When arriving home and emptying my suitcase I noticed another two dresses gone. This is not what I expect from a 5 star resort and for that reason I will not return. Many a 5 star resort I’ve stayed in and never had anything taking from my room. I think this resort needs to have a look at some of its staff

Owners of 5-star resort hotels, take note — your hotel is made or broken by your staff. Lesante Blu already has everything you could ask for from a luxury resort: spectacular vistas, exceptional food and drink, and first-class facilities. But what elevates it from an excellent hotel to somewhere truly unforgettable is the people. It is the staff who bring everything together and make you feel that you are not simply staying at a hotel, but somewhere genuinely special. And Lesante Blu has that distinction in abundance. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel at home. Erica in reception — thank you for being so patient and helpful! — set the tone perfectly. Our first visit to the beach introduced us to Thanasis, who will do his utmost to make sure you have everything you need, and Ravi, a true solution provider who deserves far more responsibility! Then came the evenings at Osteria, where Vasiliki and Nicos consistently went above and beyond, while somehow making you feel less like a guest and more like part of the Lesante family — completely at home. And finally, there was George, mixing first-class cocktails and providing the perfect end to each day. Quite simply, the template for the best barman you could ever hope to encounter! It is these people who elevate an already exceptional hotel into somewhere that will live in our memories forever. Honestly, you cannot go wrong booking this hotel. And a big thank you, too, to Lef, the happiest and most professional skipper we could ever have wished for! I can only apologise for not mentioning every member of staff who had such a positive impact on our vacation. They are all unique, wonderful people who clearly take enormous pride in what they do. To future guests: treat the staff well, and they will make you feel like the Greek Gods of old. Thank you, Lesante Blu, for an unforgettable stay
