DISASTER

I cannot stress enough how much I advise against visiting Blue Lagoon on Comino Island. This place is an absolute disappointment and a prime example of shameless tourist exploitation. Our family decided to start the day early, at 8:00 AM, hoping for some peace. Initially, it was relatively quiet; the food stalls were just opening, and you could count the motorboats in the bay on one hand. However, after 10 AM, it all began: the stench of gasoline, countless boats with more tourists arriving, and the crowd growing by the minute.

The boat dropped us off at the shore, where you used to find sunbeds on the beach. Now, the sunbeds are scattered on the rocks—deliberately, to extract as much money as possible from naive tourists. We were with two children, so we wanted to rent sunbeds with umbrellas. As one of the first customers, we received a "special price"—40 euros for four sunbeds and two umbrellas. But that was just the beginning of the nightmare. Later, they charged people 25 euros for a single sunbed! They were scamming people at every turn. Even those who had already paid were harassed by staff repeatedly asking, "Who did you pay for this spot?" It was like harassment.

And as for the sunbeds, some of them were set up in practically inaccessible places. To sit down, you had to climb over rocks, which was not only inconvenient but also dangerous. This was all done to prevent anyone from spreading out a blanket or setting up their own umbrella. It shows a complete lack of respect for tourists, whose only "mistake" was coming for a holiday.

A place? What place? It was an exploitation camp, not a place for relaxation. All that mattered was the money. No space, no comfort—everything was subordinated to the greed of the owners.

Yes, the water is beautiful, but equally beautiful waters can be found in Cyprus, where in addition to crystal-clear water, you also have beautiful beaches, not rocks and constant money-grabbing.

In one word—an absolute disaster. A waste of nerves, money, and time. I feel cheated and furious at myself for falling for this place. If you want to avoid frustration, stay far away from Blue Lagoon!
