Blue Lagoon Village

Review This was our fifth stay at Blue Lagoon Village, and there is a reason we keep coming back. For many families, choosing a holiday is exciting. For families like ours, where additional needs, food confidence, noise, routine and predictability matter, choosing a holiday can also feel risky. We need to know that the hotel will not only look beautiful in the brochure, but will actually work day to day. Blue Lagoon Village gives us that confidence. The resort itself is beautiful, spacious and well cared for, with so many different areas that you can choose the kind of holiday you need each day. There are lively pools, quieter pool areas, the beach, restaurants, snack bars, entertainment, children’s areas and calmer places to step away when needed. That variety makes a huge difference. What stands out most, though, is the people. The staff are warm, kind and genuinely welcoming. Across the restaurants, bars, Guest Relations, entertainment team and management, we have always felt that people want guests to have a good holiday. Small things matter: remembering guests, helping with simple food requests, being patient with children, offering reassurance, and making families feel welcome rather than difficult. For our family, the practical flexibility around food and routine is one of the biggest reasons we return. Knowing there are familiar options such as pasta, chips, hot dogs, toasties, pizza, ice cream and simple drinks available around the resort helps enormously. The staff have always tried to help where they can, and that makes the holiday feel much less stressful. We also love that the resort offers different levels of energy. The Activity Pool is great when you want music, games and atmosphere. The Relax Pool and Avra Pool areas can feel calmer. Ocean Restaurant is a lovely option when we want somewhere that feels a little less overwhelming, especially when sitting outside. The beach area, game room and quieter side of the theatre have also been useful places for us to reset. The entertainment team deserve a special mention. They bring energy, fun and warmth, but what we appreciated most was the way they made children feel included. That matters more than they may realise. Guest Relations and management were also excellent. They were approachable, thoughtful and open to feedback. It is very clear that Blue Lagoon Village cares about guest experience and wants families to feel listened to. No holiday is perfect, and with a large resort there will always be busy moments, but what makes Blue Lagoon Village special is that there are usually options. You can find a different pool, eat earlier, ask for help, step away somewhere quieter, or choose a simpler plan for the day. For families who need predictability and flexibility, that is incredibly valuable. We are now back in England and already missing the sunshine, the hotel and the Blue Lagoon warmth. Blue Lagoon Village is not just somewhere we have stayed once. It has become the place our family trusts. That is probably the highest compliment we can give. We would absolutely return again.

Our honest review from a family visit to BLV.

July 2026

Family of 4 - 2 Adults and 2 Children (7, nearly 8 & 4)

As this year is our 10 year wedding anniversary we paid a little extra towards our holiday and it really was a beautiful place.

In no particular order, see our review below.

The location from the airport is perfect for a family. Once we had collected our bags, we headed straight for a coach which was for our hotel only. (I didn’t book a private transfer). The drive was around 15-20mins. On the way back to the airport it was a small mini bus for ourselves and 2 other families.

When we arrived at the hotel around 10pm, there was still a small buffet open.

We booked a 2 Bedroom Family Swim Up (Room 8503) for that added extra luxury and the kids were so surprised when they saw the pool right outside our door. We were lucky enough to have the end (in a row of 3) so we only had ourselves and no one swimming by. Our room overlooked the Activity Pool and you could see the beach - perfect.

The beds were a great size and we had both a bath and a shower, although the bath plug struggled to hold water on the 1 night my son used it.

The only downsides were that the floor tiles around the room pool (and to be honest around the activity pool) are very slippy when wet and that the room was loud/noisy at nighttime when there are shows at the theatre.

The hotel is set on a huge footprint, with so many pools, rooms, restaurants and bars. There is so much choice, maybe (dare I say it 😅 - too much choice.) I have read about different pools and bars in this group and I wouldn’t know where they are 😂.

We enjoyed walking around and finding new parts of the resort but sometimes jumped on a buggy, as the kids found this another fun part of the holiday.

The pools and waterpark areas were all really enjoyable and we never struggled finding a sunbed even when we moved from one place to another during the day.

We didn’t leave the resort as we were happy to stay put for the week.

The weather was beautifully hot with a slight breeze. I have two fair haired/skinned kids so a lot of suncream was needed. I recommend bringing your own - see below for shop prices.

At night the temperature dropped and the wind picked up. We didn’t have cardigans but it might be worth bringing one.

Both my children really enjoyed the hotel kids clubs on different occasions. The staff are really friendly and the kids were well looked after.

Leo’s birthday t shirt day activity there was an additional 10 euro per t shirt made.

We all enjoyed the Mini Disco, fun for everyone each evening.

At the end of the disco the staff sell personalised t shirts for 18 euros. You pay the night you order and collect the next night as your child’s name can be put on.

They also sell Leo Lion teddies at 15 euros each.

The evening entertainment was brilliant, all the staff are so talented and we enjoyed every night!

I found the TUI kids club awkward to book which put me off to be honest as it should be so easy on the app. As the kids enjoyed the hotel kids club so much I didn’t look any further into the TUI one.

I saw a post saying the games room is in unusable as it’s so hot however this wasn’t the case as it does have air con. But you have to be careful as some of the games/rides are broken and swallow your euros.

We found the mini market very expensive for toys/games ect so I am glad we took our own inflatables. The kids had very little choice with their 10 euro each holiday money from Nana. I didn’t look at prices for the snacks or drinks.

The beach is sandy and gets very hot. The rocks entering the water are very slippy so you are encouraged to enter the water using the jetty. We didn’t swim in the sea but could see fish from the end of the jetty.

We used the Mythos Buffet for breakfast as it was closest to our room. Nice breakfast and we all found something to eat.

We use the Mythos and Ocean buffets for lunch and really enjoyed the Ocean restaurant. Seemed like there was more choice and always had pizza and pasta for the kids. There are also snack bars if you only want a toastie, pizza, waffle or pancakes.

Be careful at the beach snack bar as the cat there bit my daughter and we had to seek first aid. She was very upset and then extremely weary of all other cats.

In the evening we used the Aegean Buffet (which is huge - make sure you use both rooms 😂) we only used the first room on our first night with Kids Corner as we didn’t realise the other side was part of the buffet.

We enjoyed the Italian and Chinese A La Cart but found the BBQ a little stressful and hot when you are cooking your own food. Might be a nicer experience with older children but my children were hungry and the food was taking a while to cook.

Unfortunately the holiday ended with a situation where my engagement and wedding ring was missing which was reported to reception. I don’t think I will find out what happened to them so that has put a little damper on the holiday.

We checked out of our room at 11am and used the luggage hold at reception for our cases and the lockers in the Courtesy room for our backpacks.

We used the courtesy room showers at 5pm (Closes at 6) to freshen up, went for dinner and were collected at 7.30pm for our late night flight home.

Overall an enjoyable holiday which I would recommend to others.

We had a wonderful week at this hotel. Service was excellent and all staff were super friendly and helpful. Our room was a swim up pool room and was great. The food was pretty standard all inclusive hotel food and on par with many other hotels of this type that we’ve been to. Our 6 year old enjoyed the mini disco and entertainment. Loads of good sized pools to choose from and the waterslides were a hit with our daughter. Never had a problem getting a sunbed. Yes it is remote and a large site, but surely you research this before you book. I don't understand why people would moan about this afterwards when it’s on them find out the location when booking. We never go back to the same place twice as we like to try different destinations, but this place would make us consider visiting again in the future.
