I stayed at the Blue Horizon Hotel for a week with my daughter and 4 year old granddaughter in mid-May. The landscaping is lush and beautiful, so many palm trees and flowering bushes; pink, red and purple flowers adorning side and overhead trellises. It was sunbathing weather for six days out of the seven. Ample sunbeds on the paving and on the grassy landscaped areas around the pool. My granddaughter enjoyed the small plain kids' pool, adding her own play toys. The beach is pebbly/stony but we wore diving shoes which made things easy and it became sandy underfoot shortly after you enter the sea. Our third floor room was nice with a good bathroom - the only improvement would have been more plug points for charging phones and tablets. We eat a vegan and vegetarian diet and rate the food in the restaurant and beachside cafe as good. Funny enough, the restaurant staff started off as cheery but seemed almost sad from halfway through the week. I hope that wasn't anything to do with any planned cat controls - quite a number of young cats waited silently outside a dining room window in a particular garden during the evening meal, hoping for titbits. It would be nice if a cat charity or similar could do a trap, neuter and return for these poor moggies and others in Rhodes: they have a hard life I'm sure and probably do a good job in keeping unwelcome rodents from their areas. We booked seats on a coach at Reception for a good price and walked around the medieval town on our only cloudy day, well worth a visit for the beautiful stone walls and buildings, the feel of the past and its central line of shops. The public toilets I used put ours in the UK to shame, even if I had to pay 50 cents for the privilege. The hotel entertainment staff were amazing: everywhere else I've been the staff have done singing/dancing/panto routines - Willy and the other talented guy (whose name I didn't get, sorry) did an evening routine that included fire-breathing and walking/lying on glass fragments. Another evening entertainment event was a Greek singer with musicians and Greek dancers - we were all invited to participate in a couple of dances, which I and my granddaughter enjoyed. The lower level of seating in the bar is not enclosed half way through, which resulted in cigarette smoke sometimes wafting back to us so we usually chose to sit in the higher level on a comfortable sofa. The evening bar staff were lovely, a fond thank you to the man who made my drinks, you are a star. On the morning of our last day around the pool I won a cocktail doing killer darts (lol I was just aiming to hit the board), a cherry on the top of a most enjoyable holiday.
