Costa Lindia Blue Star

The Costa Lindia Blue Star, located on Rhodes Island in Lardos, Greece, offers an adults-only resort experience, though its connection to the larger Costa Lindia Beach Hotel introduces some nuances. Guests generally praise the exceptional staff and certain aspects of the facilities, while some areas warrant closer attention for an optimal stay.

👍 What Guests Loved:

• Exceptional Staff & Service: Across multiple reviews, the staff consistently receives high praise for being very friendly, attentive, helpful, charming, and funny. The service is described as great, making guests feel very welcome. Special mention goes to Aneza at the Delphinia Bar for her wonderful demeanor.
• Modern & Clean Blue Star Rooms: Many found their Blue Star rooms to be big, modern, clean, and comfortable, especially the swim-up rooms. Features like large shower sections and fantastic, individually adjustable air conditioning are highlighted.
• Delightful Dining & Bar Experience:
  • The Blue Star restaurant boasts an amazing atmosphere with very attentive and quick waiters.
  • Food is generally described as delicious, good, and varied, with a large selection at the buffet.
  • The Delphinia Bar is a standout favorite, loved for its beautiful Boho style and cozy ambiance, making it a place where guests spent entire evenings.
• Clean Beach & Comfortable Sun Beds: The beach area is noted for being very clean with comfortable sun beds, creating a pleasant environment for relaxation.
• Convenient Location: The hotel's proximity to supermarkets and a bus stop directly in front makes it easy for guests to explore, with Lindos being a recommended nearby destination.

⚠️ Areas for Improvement:

• Inconsistent Room Cleanliness & Maintenance:
  • Some guests experienced initial rooms that were not clean, had bad stains (even on sheets), and had ants, necessitating a room change.
  • Rooms are reportedly only cleaned on request, and sometimes old cups are not removed.
  • Issues like a loudly dripping shower in a changed room were reported and not permanently fixed.
  • Wardrobes can be problematic, often occupied by a safe, fridge, and coffee machine, leaving little room for guest clothing.
  • Access to some rooms via an underground tunnel was described as damp, moldy, and dirty.
• Connection to Costa Lindia Beach Hotel: The Blue Star's direct connection to the older Costa Lindia Beach Hotel means some amenities and staff interactions are managed through the older property, which some guests found to be less satisfactory and "old-fashioned," affecting the overall perception.
• Food & Beverage Quirks:
  • While variety is praised, some found the food often not warm enough.
  • The quality of juices was specifically called "disgusting."
  • The glass/cup policy was deemed ridiculous, with inconsistent glassware (plastic soft/hard, wine glasses for beer, disposable plastic for cocktails).
  • Buffet signage can be unclear.
• Beach & Pool Accessibility:
  • Despite the beach being clean, there is no WiFi available there, which was a significant minus for some.
  • The number of available sun beds on the beach (only 42 for all Blue Star guests) means they can be unavailable if arriving after 9 AM.
  • One of the pools was considered very loud due to its location right on the street, although a second pool was quieter and nicer. Some guests also mentioned not using loungers without their own towels.
  • The beach shower was described as "a disaster."
• Star Category Discrepancy: One guest felt the hotel, despite being advertised as 4.5 stars, delivered a 3-star experience, strongly recommending a re-evaluation of its star category.

✨ Overall Verdict:

The Costa Lindia Blue Star has the potential for a wonderful adults-only holiday, largely thanks to its dedicated and friendly staff, the inviting atmosphere of its Blue Star restaurant, and the beloved Delphinia Bar. Guests looking for modern, clean swim-up rooms and a relaxing beach (if they secure a sun bed early) may find it appealing. However, potential visitors should be aware of the hotel's connection to the older Costa Lindia Beach property, the inconsistent room cleanliness, and some issues with the food and beverage service, particularly regarding drink quality and glassware. While some have had fantastic stays and wish to return, others found their experience to be below expectations for its star rating.

Very nice adults only resort. Staff is very friendly and service is great. There is only one restaurant and a bar at the pool, but if you want you can use the facilities on the other side of the road of Costa Lindia Beach resort.

Me and my husband had such a wonderful stay at the Costa Lindia Blue Star. Our swim-up room was big, modern and clean. I liked the restaurant, the staff was very friendly and the food was good and varied. My absolute favourite was the Delphinia Bar, loved the beautiful Boho style. It was so cozy, we spent all night at the bar. In that case I have to emphasise that the staff at the bar was so incredible, so very friendly and attentive. Especially wonderful Aneza who was always charming and funny. Loved her, seriously.All in all I really have nothing to complain about and we definitely want to come back as soon as possible. Thank you so much !

We stayed 4 nights in the adults only Costa Lindia Blue Star Hotel in late August.All in all we had a nice stay when it only comes to the Blue Star part of the hotel. Unfortunately this adults only hotel is directly connected with the old-fashioned Costa Lindia Beach Hotel. Therefore, some of the amenities described online are handled via this hotel and it’s staff. I would rate the Blue Star a 5, the Costa Lindia Beach a 3, so all in all it’s a 4. Detailed reviews of single components below.Rooms:(+) clean and friendly(+) large shower section(+) quite comfortable beds(+) A/C is fantastic, individually adjustable(-) only get cleaned on request(-) when cleaned old cups will not be removed(-) 1 pool towel per person only, even on request they won’t hand out moreRestaurants/Food & Beverages:(+) Blue Star restaurant has an amazing atmosphere(+) very attentive and quick waiters(+) delicious food(+) large variety at the buffet(-) Juices are disgusting(-) glass/cup policy is ridiculous (you will always get something different - plastic cups soft or hard, wine glasses, beer is served in wine glasses, cocktails are served in disposable plastic cups etc.)(-) signage at the buffet (some things described, others don’t)Beach:(+) very clean(+) comfortable sun beds(-) no WiFi at the beach (that’s a big minus for me)(-) when arriving after 9am there probably won’t be any sun bed available (all in all 42 sun beds for all guests of Blue Star hotel)

We spent a week here and unfortunately it was the worst holiday in Greece we have ever had. Immediately after arrival we asked to change the room because it wasn't clean, some had bad stains, including in the sheets, and there were ants running around. Not to mention the access to this room, the tunnel under the street is damp, moldy and dirty.The next day we were finally allowed to change, the new room was okay, but nothing more than that. Problems arose here too, because the shower dripped loudly after use, we complained about this several times, but unfortunately not permanently switched off.The food was okay, unfortunately often not warm and not very varied, but you get full.We didn't use the beach after looking at it once, the shower there is a disaster and the stretch of beach is just not nice.We also can't recommend one of the pools, it was very loud due to its location right on the street, but the second one was quiet and nice, even if I wouldn't use the loungers without a towel.However, we can only praise the staff, everyone is very nice and helpful, the service is great.There are a few supermarkets nearby and the bus stop is right in front of the hotel, making it easy to get to Lindos, which is recommended.Finally, I would say that the star category should be urgently reconsidered. We paid for 4.5 stars and got maybe 3 and definitely can't recommend the hotel.

The facility is very nice, the food is large and very tasty. The beach clean and beautiful. Staff friendly and helpful. The room was nice but unfortunately the wardrobe was occupied with a safe, fridge and coffee machine so there was no room for our clothes.
