We really enjoyed our stay in Filion Hotel. The room was spacious, fresh towels and cleaned everyday. The staff were very helpful with a quick and efficient service. Nothing was too much for them. We like a quiet holiday so the location was really good for us. The pools and areas were very clean. We were also well and truly entertained every evening whilst enjoying some cocktails.

We spent a week at the Filion Hotel this September and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Despite some of the negative reviews (mentioning issues like cleanliness diminishing the further you were from the main areas, inconsistent pool maintenance, unenthusiastic staff, and hit-or-miss food), I felt the hotel delivered on its promise of a quiet and relaxing all-inclusive holiday (esp. when you consider the price). While the pools were relatively small, there were three to choose from, and finding a sunbed right by the pool was never an issue. It's worth noting, though, that the pool floors were not cleaned daily, and some debris could occasionally be felt at the bottom. The staff was generally helpful and friendly, with special recognition going to the reception team and the pool bar staff, who consistently provided excellent service. The main restaurant offered stunning views and a good variety of dishes, though the menu tended to be repetitive. You could expect to see the same main courses every two to three days. However, this allowed guests to focus on the better-quality options and avoid those that were less impressive. Some of the cutlery wasn’t always spotless, but the staff promptly replaced it when asked. Overall, while the hotel may have seen better days, it still met my expectations and provided the relaxing experience I was hoping for.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The staff were lovely and very helpful. The pool area is well maintained. The location is not ideal if you prefer local shopping. My only criticism is lack of spoons in the dining room. Food is plentiful and available in the pool bar throughout the day. The room was very spacious and clean

We enjoyed a lot our stay in Filion- Sugar villa. Service was perfect. Employees were very friendly and helpful, they accommodated with everything we needed. We had very beautiful view with mountains and sea. In the villa was really clean and we found everything what we needed, like kitchen utensils. There was also nice terrace with the private pool and the grill. The restaurant had amazing medetarian food, where you can choose everything from self service buffet. Really recommend the place!

Great experience. The hotel is clean + rooms, food is super tasty, every day is different. A lot of variety to choose. The staff is WOW. One of my best holiday in Greece. Thank you to all, thank you Filion Suites Resort and Spa! Highly recommended!👌 👍 👏 💯

I spend 9 days with my family on all inclusive. The hotel was very nice and spacious. The food was good and the service was also very nice. The choice of food and drinks was impeccable. A big plus is the sunbeds on the beach and a small bar, a very nice way to spend time. The downside is that most of the activities were conducted in French and not always translated. The hotel is generally worth recommending .End of season lots off sale and much more quiet. Weather 23 degrees and not much sun in that part of Create.

Michal Lushi

We had an exceptional stay at this lovely hotel! The dining options were impressively diverse, featuring a wide variety of meats, fish, side dishes, vegetables, fruits, desserts, and delicious ice cream. The restaurant, with its cozy atmosphere and stunning sea view, was a highlight of our experience. Access to the beach is very convenient, The beach area was pleasant, with sun-beds available. The hotel maintained two beautiful pools, both featuring a lively atmosphere with music and breathtaking views. There’s also a designated shallow area for children, along with a gaming room to keep them entertained. The staff was friendly and engaging, providing excellent service - multilingual, speaking German, French, and English. They were incredibly welcoming, always smiling, and eager to assist in any way. Overall, we had an amazing time and highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a fantastic all-inclusive experience!

I was with my partner on a week's holiday, I definitely do not recommend this hotel if someone suffers from asthma. The entire hotel smells incredibly of chlorine, which made it hard to get out of bed in the morning plus a sore throat. I will also add that people using wheelchairs or the physically disabled will have problems getting to the hotel or moving around on its premises. Apart from that, the hotel is really nice, nice views and we got a nice room (for an additional fee of course). Hotel service at a high level so there was nothing to find fault with. Animation only in French so if someone wants to go to this hotel with children, please keep that in mind. The drinks at the bar were very weak, the wine from the restaurant was much stronger, strange. Souvenir shops at every turn are a big plus, two supermarkets right next to the hotel are also a plus. The sea is about 200 meters from the hotel, so very close. Greetings to the entire hotel staff and management! 🩵

Nella Pompová

We were at Mitsis Bali Paradise for a week, from Sunday to Sunday. Everything was fine. The food was good and very tasty. The only thing that did not suit us very well was our room, it was not spacious enough for us. I want to praise the hotel staff, at the reception, at the bar, at the food, everyone was pleasant and helpful. Near the reception you will also find a shop where you can buy souvenirs or something you forgot to take with you.

Simone Klyeisen

It was a perfect stay ! Absolutely fantastic staff, makes every single wish become reality. Service was really great in every single language. Food was really amazing, they offered a big selection of traditional dishes and absolute tasty classics. The rooms were cleaned near to perfection. Every day off our stay. Absolute 10/10, would totally recommend to everyone.

Emad Emad

Excellent hotel!!! Friendly staff, very varied and tasty food, clean and in our opinion corresponds to 5 stars!! Special thanks to Carlos (animator) - very funny and professional in his field 👍 The girls at the reception are smart in everything 🤗 The chef of the restaurant is brilliantly talented in preparing dishes. Natalia the waiter is very kind and friendly. We recommend it to everyone and will definitely come back! Thank you 🙏

We spent a week at the hotel. Starting with the room: we stayed on the ground floor in room 101. The room had an unpleasant smell, which I think came from the sewer. One of the beds was made with old linens that had ingrained yellow stains. The bathroom was small, old, and uncomfortable. After taking a shower, the entire floor was wet, and we had to lay down towels, which were changed once every two days. There was no smoke detector in the room, and there was an empty box from a fire blanket on the shelf. We could hear every flush from the neighbors above. Two other families also complained about the smell in their rooms. One family was upset that their room did not match the photos online, to which the reception replied that the website shows the best rooms, and they don't post pictures of all the rooms. This response came from a Russian-speaking woman at the reception, whom I want to emphasize was rude to the guests. The food varied but was tasteless. The children only ate pasta.

Zvezda Sigma

Good enough hotel, however with some flaws. Localisation is near busy road with bus stops on line Agios Nicolaos-Heraklion wchich allows for free movement on the island. Yet you must cross this crossroad without traffic lights. Staff tries their best and generally nice. However i must warn you of a an "entartainer" Carlos wchich is annoying cringe and rude. But despite that is good enough hotel.

Bas Spoel

We have been here last week, 2 adults and 2 kids 8 & 10, hotel is basic but ok. The pools are great, there are enough sunbeds for everybody. Location is quiet, no partying people or sounds of bars or nightclubs, that was because there is nothing in a 2 mile radius. The All-inclusive is horrible though, bar opens at 11:00 and closes at 22:30. Only postmix drinks (cola, Fanta, Sprite) Beer is non alcoholic!!!! Didn't dare to try the wines. Food is absolutely horrible, you've get a lot to chose from but there are absolutely no flavours and i've got sick after 2 days. My kids only ate the fruits, everything else they couldn't bare. We've spend the rest of our holiday eating at the neighbours (Valentina's, they were great!!!) We weren't the only one complaining about the food, almost everybody we spoken to told us the same. There were people living on bread for more than a week!!! This was the first and the last time we went to Club Lyda.

Patricia Lord

The hotel was fabulous The staff was very obliging and couldn’t do enough for you, Especially George, he was so kind and very, very helpful, , We have been there before, and we will definitely return,

Cara Maddan

Ok this is going to be the most honest review you will find here. We have been twice now the staff are outstanding.. the deluxe rooms are amazing and the gardens etc are just beautiful and the waterpark is amazing! The only thing that lets Stella village down is the fact that the food isn’t the best and it’s in desperate need of a refurb around the bar pools area. I will just mention the entertainment isn’t the best either some of its good some not so good and doesn’t start until 9pm for the entertainment. The excursions outside are also very expensive would have cost us as a family of 5 almost £250 to do the pirate trip! I will also say the music isn’t great and it’s the same music on repeat all day every day and nothing that’s English it is mostly French or Greek music and I found it quite depressing to be honest. Cocktails aren’t bad but there’s just a few things that let this place down and for the price you pay I do think there’s better. I feel like this hotel is a cash cow and all proceeds are spent on upgrading palace the hotel next door every year.

Jannik Broch Thielemann

A really decent place to visit. We visited Stella Village as a group of 10 with all inclusive. Not sure if it is possible to visit this place without this option. Here is our review: - Service is great like... really great! Spot on staff. - Rooms were really nice, but we had a broken lamp and an electrical outlet that had seen better days, but nothing serious. - Room was cleaned nicely every day, and the hotel gives you 4-5 water bottles, when they clean the room. - Food was decent at the buffet. Desserts were above average compared to my previous experincenses, when it comes to all inclusive. - They got a unique restaurant, which you may visit once for free. Food was... below average (see the picture with the 2 "logs" - supposed to be kebab - are you serious?), but we had a lot of fun. - Airplanes come and go quite closely, but not a problem. - Water facilities are incredible! Go nuts! There is a fair chance that we will visit this place again!

Matei Rares

A very clean hotel with fabulous staff, the food is not overly diverse but very good and sufficient. Not all the rooms are renovated, the one we stayed in, a family room, was not, but after a hot day when we arrived in the evening it was clean and cool even if the air conditioning did not work. Interesting beach, the concretes that protect it from the waves are ugly, but those concretes help you to swim when all the other beaches are red flag and the waves passing by them create a unique sensation that children likes.

Alex Boon

Enjoying our last day at Stella Village today. Can't fault the hotel, staff and food in anyway. The staff are incredibly friendl.and helpful - from the cleaners, to the waiters / waitresse and even the ifeguards at the waterpark. The rooms are modern, clean and exactly how they look in the picture and refilled with fresh water bottles everyday. There is plenty of choice at breakfast, lunch and dinner. Considering the hotel is international, it caters very well for everyone. Every member of is exceptional and they all.do a fantastic job! Clearly working very hard and provide that extra level of care and service. You'll not be short of things to do, with plenty of pools, arcade games, beach, bars and restaurants a short walk away. The only thing that wasn't clear online when boiking through jet2 was that it is 3 hotels in 1 and you don't have shared access to it all. All in all a fantastic place for families with young children and teenagers!

Jay Port

Excellent stay. Great and helpful staff, lots of activities for kids, but the highlight for me was Rocco the magician. Very funny and the kids were roaring with laughter, as were the adults. The magic was spectacular. Any chance to see Rocco is a huge bonus.

Lee Turner

Absolutely brilliant place. Staff are the hardest working people and always so welcoming and pleasant. We're in a family room. It has 4 single beds and 1 king size bed which is really comfortable. It also has 2 bathrooms. The pools and sheer size of the place means it really takes days to see it all. Plenty places to eat. The food is the best we've had in a hotel never mind all inclusive. One of our party is coeliac and the meals are made personally and brought to the table. They really take great care. Absolute must for families!!! Hotel grounds are well tended to. Flumes are fab for the kids! Will book again when we get back.

Sinead Burke

Resort is beautiful, facilities for a family are great. Lots of options for pools and dining. Beach is stunning and very close. Restaurant and bar staff are great. Resort is kept immaculately clean. The only downside was the reception staff were unhelpful. We asked 3 or 4 basic questions over the week and each time they would say we don’t know and move on to the next person. This really let the resort down.

Indea D'aigle

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Star Beach Resort, and would reccommend it to others. The initial correspondance with the resort was great, airport pickup and drop off organization was really easy (shoutout to our driver Manos). Upon arrival, we received a complimentary room upgrade, moving us from the Annex building (across street) directly next to the main pools and near the hotel’s restaurants. The best part of our stay was hands down the incredibly hardworking staff, with a notable mention to Amelio, Tommy, Vagelis, George and his wife, Daina, Ahis and all of the kitchen staff. To put up with tourists for so many days and months in a row, is truly incredible. Kudos to each and every one of the resort staff. Thank you for continuing to be so kind, patient and hardworking right up until the very end of the season [when we visited]. A sincere thank you from the two Canadians who visited at the beginning of November. The food was great, breakfast was the best meal of the day and something we looked forward to even on day 10 of our stay. There were so many options, and the kitchen staff were all incredibly kind. The crêpes were so so good and the mickey mouse ones were very cute for kids. Star Beach is definitely a family friendly resort, really great for kids, as there are tons of waterparks to play in. The waterslides with tubes were a lot of fun (even for grown ups). And the beach was great, not too deep and the ocean was not very aggressive. The evening shows were very entertaining, we enjoyed the quick change show the most. It was very impressive, and had really excellent comedy and magic tricks. The only downside to the entire visit, was a small ant infestation in our room from a piece of dried fruit that was left behind a bed from a previous guest. This would not have been a problem, however management/housekeeping did not seem to understand our request of having the room cleaned to remove the attractant, clean the floors and have the bedding changed. We ended up switching rooms, which was appreciated but not neccesary in our opinion. We believe this oversight was primarily due to it being the last Sunday of the season and being short staffed. The front desk was considerate of our concerns and the manager set aside time to speak with us at the end of our stay to hear our comments and feedback on our experience.

Viki Szoke

As a value for money it was a good choice however there are a quite few items to improve. Starting with the good things: the food is very good, especially the deserts, there are healthy meals and a nice selection for vegetarians. The location is perfect, the beach is nice and the city is close to have some sight seeing. The facilities were good, like the pools or the slides. The down side was mainly the room. We asked for superior family room but it was not super. It was rather basic with old and sometimes dirty furniture and also noisy due to the music from the beach. The cleanness was also not perfect, even if we specifically asked for because there were also some ants. There was no application for the hotel however it could make the life easier and quite usual in other hotels. Facilities were closed quite early at 6pm. There could be some safety controls as well, because hot pots and pans were on the shelves in the restaurant and there was no sign. It is also a pity that the hotel did not ask for any insight automatically from the guests in order to improve. So mixed feelings, good for any occasion but probably not returning

We arrived early to the hotel, so we weren't given our rooms yet, we had to wait for around three hours. That's perfectly fine, I understand, I'm not here to complain about that. Me and my family waited in the lobby, and then ate lunch for those few hours, but there was a big problem all of us had; it was horribly hot inside the hotel too. You could barely notice a difference being in and out of the lobby, and unfortunately, already having traveled hours and not being given our rooms, the heat was just another add to the stress. When we were finally shown to our rooms, I was just simply disappointed. I believe that the minimum for every and any hotel is cleanliness, and this place definitely didn't have that. Despite it being "cleaned" around 15 minutes ago, the floor was still black in some spaces, it was obviously very dirty. I have seen other reviews complain about the same thing as well, and I just really want to know why y'all aren't fixing it, when it's so easy to clean properly. There's also no hot water in the bath, only in the shower, and the TV's screen just hung down, and when we tried to fix it to it's correct position, the screen just dropped down again. I think it's very obvious that the staff doesn't care about the condition of the rooms they give to the guests. On the other hand, the food and beach are absolutely flawless. There are a lot of options to choose from, the servers are really nice, and the view is also gorgeous. I believe that if this hotel maintained better cleanliness and much better rooms, it would quickly get five stars immediately.

Karen Phillips

Wonderful place. The food was great and we didn't even eat in any of the themed restaurants. The baklava was to die for! Such a pretty looking hotel, with the blocks of rooms in different pastel colours. The little stone walkways leading to all the rooms were beautiful, lined with vines, lime and pomegranate trees. We had a room for 3, so one was on the sofa bed, which was a worry but it was fine, more like another single bed. The room was large but the air-conditioning was faulty. After reporting a couple of times a brand new unit was fitted. Very clean all over the hotel and pool areas great. Most staff were really cheerful but a couple of the older male staff could be a bit grumpy but they mellowed as the week went on. The entertainment team were husband and wife and they were great, had a great game of darts most days. I never did get that 180! 8 of us went on this holiday with ages ranging between 23 and 58, we all thoroughly enjoyed it. Would definitely go back.

Carter Grandin

The hotel was very pretty and the people were very nice. It's right on the beach and has some great views of the sea. Biggest problem was the buffet style food was inedible. No matter what I tried it was the worst thing I've ever eaten. My wife and I were shocked that so many people were eating it. Since it's in a tourist area the surrounding food is really expensive and not super great. There was a disappointing lack of Greek food.

Paul Smith

Booked this Hotel for a 10 night stay with my wife and teenage son. On arrival at 1am we were shown to our room but quickly realised that they had allocated us a Double Bedroom with 3 beds shunted together rather than the one bedroom annex/apartment. As well as lacking any sort of appropriate privacy, given my son's age (15), he is also 6 foot 6 inches tall so the additional camp bed provided had to be slept on by my wife. Complained to Reception immediately and was told to return the next day. On returning the next day I was informed that they genuinely believed that they had upgraded us, as the room we were in, had recently been renovated. Nevertheless they understood very quickly that the room was not appropriate. By Day 2 they had allocated us to a new room and while we were on an all-day trip had moved our luggage to the new room. This room, although the decor was more dated, served our needs much better and provided us with separate sleeping quarters and a lovely big 1st floor balcony. The professional way in which they turned round this negative scenario into a more positive one and their swiftness to act has to be applauded. The food was great and when called upon the staff were always friendly, courteous and helpful. Yes you have to get up at 7am for a pool sun lounger which wasn't an issue for us but compared to other resorts I have been to, the pursuit of a sun longer is not as ruthless. The entertainment was average but that doesn't matter because unlike other all inclusive hotels it is very much in the centre of a lively area with many bars and restaurants to choose from. We booked the Italian A La Carte and the food was really good. Unfortunately we left it too late to book "Prime Burger" so I would suggest to anyone that you try and book early. All in all a great holiday!

Lisa Treglia

This was extremely disappointing! We were “welcomed” by a very unfriendly and sarcastic reception woman Konnie! We then were taken to our room which had a shower the size of a cruise ships shower and the hotel had no washcloths! The walls were stained and scuffed and bathroom tracks were disgusting! The main dining hall food was less than desirable and the entire staff did not understand English so when I asked if they had granola they looked like a deer in headlights! The “specialty” Italian restaurant was a glorified pizzeria with full view of the chefs touching food with their bare hands! The best part of dinner was the bottle of wine we had to pay for! The umbrellas by the pool were mostly broken and although you are not allowed to save chairs, all guests did with the staff not remedying the situation! Konnie didn’t inform us we had to pay to rent safe in room so when I called reception to inquire she snapped at me with more of her already rude demeanor! Definitely would NOT return or recommend this hotel!!!

Been to Silva Beach 5 times and going back again in May 2025 can’t wait. No need to list everything positive the times we’ve visited says it all, fantastic place. I’ve even been allocated the same room four times out of the five.

Xenia K

We spent there 9 nights and everything was great. Very friendly staff from the receptionists, to the cleaning ladies, kitchen managers, waitresses and spa ladies :) I have gluten intolerance and the kitchen manager was spoiling me with gluten free desserts every day! Also they were super accommodating towards our small baby with special food requests. The room was cleaned everyday, it was perfect. And the own beach was a highlight:) thank you 😊

elixir t

This hotel is great if you have kids. Perfect. Great rooms seaview, pools, minigolf, playground, close to fantastic beach, minidisco every night that everyone loved. But the food was not great aside from desserts. Only very cold drinks and fruits. I was in Greece 6 times and that was the only hotel with such a poor food.

Ben Hayes

We had a great week at Sol Marina Beach this summer. We loved our little apartment, sitting by the pool, playing in the splash pool, and the fabulous food. Manos and the restaurant team were amazing, especially with our daughter who is dairy-free. We enjoyed it so much we have booked to come again next summer! We can’t wait.

Nicolas Mazzaglia

We spent six nights at the hotel in a standard double room, which fell far short of what one would expect from a 4-star property. The room had an outdated, unattractive bathroom and an air-conditioning unit from the 1980s that failed to cool the space. After complaining and threatening to leave, we were upgraded to a bungalow. The bungalow was much nicer, with functional air-conditioning that made the 30-degree heat and high humidity bearable. The animation was the most disappointing aspect of our stay. It catered almost exclusively to French tourists, with activities conducted in French and even French flags prominently displayed, which felt excessive. Some of the animators were rude and poorly behaved; one even had the audacity to put out a cigarette at our table while we were eating. The kids’ club was another low point. The young staff members seemed inexperienced and ill-equipped to manage children properly. My daughter sustained multiple cuts on her neck from another misbehaving child, and the staff failed to inform us. They treated her injuries themselves and left it at that. We only learned about the incident when we picked her up. After we complained, the hotel manager issued an apology, but no further action was taken. The food was decent, with a variety of options at the buffet. However, the single restaurant serving the entire hotel led to overcrowding during peak times, which diminished the dining experience. The highlight of our stay was the hotel staff—particularly the waiters and cleaning crew. They were warm, friendly, and went out of their way to make our stay more enjoyable. Kudos to them for their excellent service.

Miguel Mata Rojas

My family and I were on vacation at this wonderful hotel just last week for 8 days and 9 nights, I have to say it was the best decision to choose this hotel, the facilities are very well designed for a family holiday, the kids were very happy and very enthusiastic to participate in every single kids activities. We stayed in a bungalow, The space is alright but is quite small, anyway, the terrace is wonderful and if you organise yourself well it is just alright. The animation team for kids is incredibly nice, the young girls and the boy were always too nice to my kids. The restaurant is a top food restaurant, with an amazing variety. The access to the beach is just 3 minutes walking out of the hotel, you just need to cross one outside street. But it is just alright. We are considering going back next year or even sooner if possible. I highly recommend this hotel.

Amy

Lovely spa hotel, spa facilities and pool facilities are great, I got a Greek massage which was unbelievable. The food was varied but not of high quality, and would have liked to see more authentic traditional options as didn’t really feel much like we were in Greece when we were eating. However still some nice options. Staff friendly and helpful, rooms clean and had everything you needed. Gym was poor, it was a room hidden away on top of a bar that no one mentioned to us, with a bike, a few dumbbells and a yoga mat. Weird rule about not being able to take more than one drink from the bar at a time, even if you were taking a drink for yourself and whoever you were with. So had to go back and forward. This was inconsistently implemented depending on staff on the bar. Cocktails very watered down. It was about 15 minutes in a taxi to the town 22 Euros each way, not much else around the hotel so if you’re looking for a chilled stay out of the way doing nothing at a reasonably priced all inclusive this is the place for you. They have a ‘private beach’ which is just a small bit of dirty sand with old sunbeds so really wouldn’t recommend it being worth the shuttle bus down there. Rethymno old town is lovely, if I came back I would stay nearer the town. Overall we had a nice holiday because the weather was good and the pools were good, and we could generally eat some half decent food. Not brilliant but not bad either, some good points and some to improve on.

Sue Bartlett

Nice room, good aircon, no English TV. Food was very good although typical of all inclusive buffet my husband who is a vegetarian said it was the best he's ever experienced especially if you love salad and cheese. Beach too far to walk but transport provided by lovely driver and we went every morning. Complex not suitable if you have any mobility issues as steps and some slopes quite steep. We would go again.

Helen Parkes

I stayed here for a week the beginning of October 2024. The resort is beautiful although I wouldn't say it 5☆. The room needed updating and the showers were full of rust and limescale. The shower heads were full of limescale so didn't work properly. The food was ok, definitely not 5☆. The entertainment was poor. The pools were lovely and plenty of sunbeds but that could be different in peak season. The staff were lovely and couldn't do enough for you. I would recommend the resort as a 3 to 4 ☆.

Flippin' Eck

Would never come back here! I never like to put bad reviews as a business owner I feel you should help businesses not bring them down. However, I feel that strongly about how bad this hotel is that it’s ruined what was supposed to be a nice holiday with my girlfriend. The food is the only positive about this hotel, that was amazing. I love Greece and would definitely recommend Crete. This hotel is pretty far out of the way, but I wasn’t even bothered about that. The staff are all pretty much rude, the reception staff in particular, and definitely not helpful at all. You have to book your room to be cleaned when ever you want it cleaning. Same if you want clean towels. The alcohol, I know it’s the kind of hotel that don’t want you smashed which is fair enough but the alcohol they do serve is either watered down or 0% So unbeknown to myself this holiday was a detox. I guess that’s a positive😂 The electric kept going off in our room and nothing was done, and when we asked for a late check despite rooms being available they said no! If you want a shower before you leave for the airport you have to book a slot which again no one told us about so when we asked about that there was no slots available. As I said I never leave bad reviews but honestly this hotel has not given me a good holiday at all so would definitely not recommend it.

Shaun Hird

First of all I want to say thank you to all the staff who made our stay do relaxing and fulfilling. I booked this hotel as a roll of the dice as I had seen some negative reviews, but what I found when I got here was most of those reviews are dumbfounded from people that may have been a little grumpy or needed a nap. The hotel itself is situated in a remote location in a valley, but that being said it has 4 pools, 2 bars and 2 places to eat, the all inclusive is brilliant with the food always tasting amazing. The pools at the bottom are mainly for families so if you are traveling with a partner like myself I would highly recommend the top pool. The hotel also offers a free shuttle to a nearby beach with is around 5 mins away, with sun beds and a beach bar nearby, although this is not included in the price. If you want a relaxing, romantic time take the idea of a normal all inclusive resort out of your head as this offers you everything that you need to feel fulfilled and happy.

Jenny Mc

Excellent first holiday as a family here. The staff are very polite and helpful. They always tried to entertain our baby too which was lovely. Especially the cleaner and lady who welcomed you into the main restaurant. We had a shared pool which was amazing with us having a ground floor bungalow. I’d definitely recommend requesting ground floor if you’re paying extra for a shared pool. The place was spotless and everywhere in and around the hotel looked beautiful. The only downfall was I’d say the food isn’t 5*. It was nice, but the individual restaurants weren’t top notch food and the portions were small. We ended up going to the buffet some nights even after a meal. Other than that, would definitely recommend!!!

Anna Syrovátková

The hotel has perfect service. My daughter was ill during our stay and the hotel staff was incredibly helpful and nice and ensured that all our needs were taken care of. They provided food service to our room and were able to help us with unexpected health situation even in the middle of the night. Thanks to them we were able to enjoy our stay despite the illness.

Tony Metcalfe

The hotel is fantastic, all the staff are very friendly. The gym is a decent standard. The tennis courts look very good. The food generally is good. The sunset from the beach is incredible. It’s unfortunate the beach bar isn’t open later. The rooms are good and beds are. You get delivered to your room on a golf cart with your luggage. If you want premium spirits they are included you just have to ask. It’s about half an hour walk to the nearest town, which is a wash with bars along the shore with good places to eat and drink and everything you could need.

Jurgita G.

If we could we would give even more stars! :D We spent a week as a family of 3 in this hotel and we loved it. The rooms were cleaned every day, the food was adapted to any taste, staff was always smiling and incredibly kind. We loved the evenings at the main pool bar: very good musicians and dancers, superb shows! And the beach is also stunning - a bit stony but you can walk kilometers to one or another side and enjoy beautiful sunsets or just sit on the beach and eat ice-cream provided by the hotel. Our child loved the place so much that he told he is not going back home:)) Well, we felt the same... We would definitely recommend it to anyone and come back any time we have a chance to do so. A big big THANK YOU!

Josh Newman

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Mitsis Royal mare , and I can’t recommend it highly enough. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. The rooms were spotless, comfortable, and beautifully decorated, providing a perfect retreat after a day of exploring. One of the highlights of our stay was Maria, who works at the calypso bar. She made us feel like family from the moment we met her. Her warm personality and incredible skill behind the bar made every evening special. Maria’s drinks were nothing short of perfection—she crafted the best cocktails we’ve ever had, each one a delightful experience. Overall, our time at Royal mare was fantastic. The service, ambiance, and attention to detail were outstanding. If you’re looking for a place where you’ll be treated like family and enjoy top-notch hospitality, this is the place for you. We’ll definitely be returning!

Had the best week here. A beautiful hotel in a fantastic location with a sea and mountain view. The food was delicious with plenty of choice and our 2 year old son loved playing in the pools. The restaurant staff are so friendly, the cleaners are amazing, our room was spotless every day and I loved the Jumbo club entertainment team, they were great fun! Thanks for having us, we hope to return again!

I don't usually listen to negative reviews and now it turns out that I'm doing it right. I read in some reviews that the entertainment team is very tuned in to the French, which we also experienced and I don't think it's good either. My son wanted to play in the water with the others several times and asked, but for some reason he was not invited. But fortunately, he didn't get bitter, so there was no problem and we didn't take the matter to heart. We had a fantastic week here. A wonderful view, great and varied food was really different every day, the staff was very kind. We really liked the lady in the shop (unfortunately, I don't know her name), she is always kind and smiling. My kids really enjoyed the slides and pools. We knew they had salt water in them, so we arrived prepared with goggles so it wasn't confusing. I was rather happy for that, because that way I didn't have to worry about normal water causing problems. Unfortunately, one of the slides injured my son's back, but after that he paid attention to only sliding on it while sitting down and it was no longer a problem. We were in room 118 and its location is really steep, but it was only difficult to get up the first two days, after that we walked up or took a taxi without any problems. Spinalonga is definitely not to be missed, even the children really enjoyed the historic place. Elounda cannot be called cheap, souvenirs and especially clothes are very expensive, but the restaurants are surprisingly cheap and cook excellently. Not sure if next year, but we will definitely come back here again with great pleasure.

Just returned from the Beautiful Island of Crete, having enjoyed the beautiful weather & the hospitality awarded by the locals to our Family, Grand Children & Us Oldies! We stayed in the Elounda Water Park Residence and this place certainly was the "glue" which pulled everything together we expected from the island and truly made the holiday the relaxing experience we hoped. Arriving in the dark, we were amazed at the Stunning views from our rooms in the morning - we never tired of that view. The rooms we were given were 1st rate, very clean & modern. Cleaned daily to the highest standards. All the staff of the Residence were very attentive & hard working making sure everything was to be the very best it could be. The pools, bars, restaurants, animation team were great. This place really did provide a personal, homely feel that is not generally evident in the large all-inclusive complexes. It was like you were part of their family. The town of Elounda was a wonderful place to spend time if you choose to wander out - lovely bars & eating places, beaches all you could want but not swamped with people - very chilled. Would We return to Elounda and the Elounda Water Park Residence ? - Try and stop us!!!!

We just got home yesterday from a fantastic week away. Don't listen too much to the negative reviews, I was worried because of them but that didn't reflect our experiance at all. I went with my children (7 and 14), they both loved the waterslides and pools and there was always a great variety of food. My 7 year old is very fussy, but then she doesn't eat much in the heat. The hotel is in Crete, and the food reflects that. The best stuffed vine leaves i have ever had, and i got to eat them every day! We upgraded to all inclusive on our first day and certainly got our moneys worth, kids were very happy with the snack bars and drinks choices. Yes the walk back up to the rooms is steep, but much easier if you use the stairs that zigzag up through the complex. The views are stunning and worth it. My only grumble is that the air con in our room didn't work the best, but the kids air con did, so we just opened the room doors up. The daughter really enjoyed the kids club and the evening entertainment in the amphitheatre, the entertainment team do a brilliant job. The pools are salt water, but it does say that clearly on the website and also on the Loveholidays description that I booked through. Children will need goggles, but after the first few days mine were used to it and they were just happy to be in the water. Personally, we won't be back for that reason, as my sons skin chafed quite badly due to salt water, but I feel that was because he wasn't rinsing himself properly. We all agree that we have had a brilliant holiday and made loads of fantastic memories!!

I'll start with the positive the managers son was very accommodating and tried his best to help, but some of the reception staff were very dismissive. You would ask for something to be dealt with, and they would write it in a book and dismiss you by looking away. The food was average for all inclusive but found ourselves getting bored of similar food and eating out. The negative, we were put in a 1970s style holiday camp chalets with broken air conditioning, smelly bathroom, sockets hanging off wall and holes to back of other sockets. I was also unable to close the door to the balcony so any air conditioning was always going to fail. I complained and was shown another chalets in similar condition. I declined and was upgraded to a family room. This had 2 air conditioning unit but only 1 worked. I was promised it would be fixed. It wasn't until I call the tour company that this was repaired somewhat. The toilet had to be squeezed into due to the layout and a socket above the kitchen sink was hanging off the wall. The park is build on a hill side and has very steep walks to get to anything other than the top pool and dining area. The pools are salt water so if this is not your thing beware. The whole place is a bit run down but they are building new apartments which look very new. The bar doesn't open until 11 so I hope you don't get thirsty or you will need to buy drinks from the onsite shop. I could continue but please be aware this is not a hotel and 2/3 stars at very best. Would I recommend this place - NO and I'm easily pleased normally. Crete was beautiful outside and away from this hotel.

Booked Evita hotel for 10 days, we have been to Greece on a few occasions, this hotel has been far the best.Good choice of food throughout the day including snacks. Sam is amazing, he makes everyone welcome and makes everyone smile, this made us comfortable.The room are spacious and are regularly cleaned to a good standard. I've read reviews about ants etc ...but these are outside not inside, maybe if people did not drop food there would not be any. Thanks for a lovely stay and will book again for next year, well done to the rest of the entertainment team for your hard work, but previously stated Sam was exceptional,Thank you.

Sally Butler

Well, on our late arrival got to our room and no air con. Reported first thing and was told that it would be looked into. Hours later still nothing. Cutting a long story short we were given another room for the night and to return key next day. We were told next day still hadn't been looked at. Now couple days into holiday and no room. We were told that they were fully booked an no other rooms available. Now partner stated he would sleep in lobby area or go to another hotel. This seemed to ruffle a few feathers as they gave us a room next door to our original. Rooms were not cleaned properly either. Even found broken human nails on sides of bed and shower hose broken off, when fixed pieces were left all over bathroom floor. Food was the same every other day and as a result on 7th day I tried Moussaka and few hours later I started to feel ill. I was sick all night and following day spent in bed. I did however notify them and ask if any other issues? I couldn't stand smell of food or drink. We spent rest of our 10 days off complex and away and we enjoyed Rhodes more. I would like to say that we don't rate this hotel as a 4 at all. Certain staff were polite and friendly but others were rude and ignorant. If you look at any other reviews they all seem to follow same pattern and hotel responses are all copied and pasted replying to complaints which is just an echo to their rudeness. Not good at all.

Timo Särkkinen

Cheap disposable plastic cups and no hot food, food is served at room temperature. That’s not 4 star experience, but that is what Evita Resort served us. We arrived at Evita Resort and the gentleman and the lady at the front desk said that even though we had paid in advance, there was no room for us. But they would accommodate us at nearby other hotel of their’s and it would be Evita Resort quality, so we would not need to worry. Evita Resort quality means ants marching in room and bed. Cheap disposable plastic cups, no glassware even for lunch or dinner. What should have been hot food, was served room temperature. So cold scrambled eggs and bacon for breakfast. Their four star lunch was chicken nuggets and hot dogs, served lukewarm of course. Dinner was for example so overcooked chicken breast that knives had problems cutting them, yet they weren’t served hot. Towels and linens are changed every three days only. Another sure sign of four star quality. Only positive thing was the pool area, it was clean, peaceful and nice amount of sunbeds and shades. I would not recommend Evita Resort.

Amy Bowman

After booking this holiday and reading reviews I was worried to say the least but actually we have had a lovely time here at Evita. Rooms were cleaned every day. Food was really lovely, there’s plenty to choose from, yes they repeat some dishes but so what. The selection is still very good. Staff are incredibly friendly and always happy to help aswell. We don’t have a complaint at all and will hopefully be returning in years to come. Thankyou for such a lovely stay Evita ❤️

Sean

Day 8 of 10 days in this beautiful place. I will write a longer review on leaving but for now I just wanted to write a review of a special barman called Mike, he has been truly wonderful and catered to our every need and has a smile on his face every minute whilst doing so. We are staying in block 800 and have a lovely pool 30 seconds from our door. Mike mans the little bar beside this pool. I watch him interacting with every customer and everyone of them leaves with a smile after talking to him. Mike has helped to make our stay in the paradise of Rhodes just that little bit better if possible. To management, wherever you have found this guy, you have done a great job, please at your very earliest opportunity give this young man a promotion, he thoroughly deserves it and is a vital asset to your hotel. Thanks Mike you legend... Sean from Ireland (grey hair man)

We stayed in a family room with 2 adults and 2 children. The room is very small, barely enough space to put suitcases away. The room also constantly smells like urine so we had to buy an air freshener, but this doesn't cover the smell. The fridge is old and rusty and smells bad inside. One of the bedside lights is hanging off, but the maintenance team was sent to fix it after I complained. The shower has black mould in it. When I complained, they just said "This is just how it is in Greece". The hotel itself feels generally old, rough around the edges and grubby. The elevator was out of service for a couple of days. The beds were hard and uncomfortable. Didn't get a single good night's sleep. I complained about all of the above and asked for an upgrade. They said they would call me but I never heard anything from them. The food is adequate. Lots of choice on the buffet, but the quality is lacking. The Muses restaurant offers a poor example of Greek food. You're much better off finding a local Greek tavern. The pools are well kept and clean. The view from the 4th floor is beautiful, you can see Turkey. There's immediate access to the beach from the hotel grounds. It's a smooth pebble beach with some sand. The staff are friendly enough, but some of them look very unhappy to be there, especially the bar staff. The kids entertainers are nice and friendly, but the entertainment is basic. The drinks are fairly poor. Sometimes the punch will be made with orange juice, sometimes it's orange squash. The pool bar looks particularly dirty with rusty fridges and mouldy, wet areas. The waterpark is good for kids. It looked safe and clean and my 9 year old enjoyed it. Overall the hotel is disappointing and absolutely not what I would class as 4* compared to other hotels I have stayed in.

Ryan Tamayo

The ambiance here is always inviting and comfortable. The rooms were immaculate and very comfortable. And the staff at this hotel were incredibly welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. Especially to Mr. Rommel Rillera I commend him for his very good service he is so dedicated. And also the food was good and great value for money. I will definitely recommend this place to the people.

Valerie Azarova

Posting review right as staying at labrana blue bay Probably like a lot of people was very concerned to book by reading bad reviews, but honestly can’t name anything negative. It’s amazing for the kids!! The pools are clean and water park is amazing. Rooms are small but cleaned daily. Staff are friendly and kids discos, clubs are good. Right on the beach, yes it’s stones, but as soon as you go a bit deeper it’s sandy, so water shoes a must! Food is not bad, big options for breakfast, lunch and dinner. My picky kids found a lot to munch on. Nice to have early breakfast in the beach restaurant the views are amazing. So don’t be put off by negative reviews and have fun, you get what you pay for as it’s only 3+ stars but I would give a 4 definitely

Callum Richardson

A great stay in a great location that it is near to the airport for short transfer times, amazing food, rooms, service and great entertainment for the children. Before coming we were slightly worried about some of the reviews and after our holiday we can honestly say we didn't experience any of the issues people have previously mentioned. I would recommend this hotel for a holiday to friends and family. Be realistic with your expectations as this is a hotel for families and the majority of activities are designed for children which for us was absolutely perfect. The staff here are fantastic and friendly and the entertainers really made the holiday one to remember for the children. If I was pushed to offer some constructive criticism I would ask for more bar staff on some of the bars - there is 3 in the evenings to choose from and 2 of them only have one person operating them which occasionally leads to slightly bigger ques than other hotels we have been at. However it is still pretty impressive how little you have to wait when there must be at least 1500 guests here. If you have booked this hotel already and have worried when reading poor reviews like me and my partner did, then please do not change it - everyone is entitled to their opinions and ours is that this is the perfect family holiday with a fantastic water park that is managed diligently by qualified life guards. We are sad to be going home and would definitely book again. Thank you to all for a great holiday.

Steven Gascoigne

after reading numerous mixed reviews was a bit worried about the holiday we had booked however nothing to worry about weather was fantastic rooms with sea views perfect 👌 food as in all inclusive gets a bit relative but never went hungry pool extremely cold but lovely I'm this heat..... hotel was always clean entertainment team always made time for us all brilliant 👏 Zeno was a lovely young entertainer so there you go...

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Mitsis Faliraki Beach Hotel, and I would like to highlight the exceptional service provided by Mike, who works on the beach. His professionalism, attentiveness, and friendly demeanor truly enhanced our experience. Mike consistently went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. His positive attitude and dedication to excellent service did not go unnoticed. Thank you, Mike, for making our stay so enjoyable. We hope to see you again on our next visit!

Elena Klouda

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Mitsis Faliraki, and I must say it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. Everything about this place was fantastic! The hotel is situated in front of one of the best sandy beaches of Rhodes. It was the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy some relaxation. The hotel's restaurants offer a wide range of delicious options, from local cuisine to international dishes. The breakfast buffet was impressive, offering a variety of choices and the several a-la card restaurants added an extra touch of fun and variety to the dining experience. The entertainment at the hotel was as well top-notch. What truly set this hotel apart, however, was the incredible friendliness and attentiveness of the staff. From the moment we arrived, there was a genuine desire to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. Every staff member we encountered, from the front desk to the restaurant servers, went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and happy. I can’t recommend this hotel highly enough, and I’m already looking forward to my next visit!

Jana Hálová

A pleasant hotel on a beautiful sandy beach. Sunbeds available by the sea and by the pool, outdoor gym. Pancakes by the pool all day, served by nice ladies. They cook great and have excellent quality wine. Every night there is a different program. The staff is very nice, except for the pool's bar waitress, who ignored us. On the other hand, the others are very nice - at the reception, at the main bar, in the restaurant and on the beach. Big thanks to the trainers at the gym for the way they trained with our son, they are really great!

Philipp Dühring

An unforgettable stay! This five-star hotel in Rhodes exceeded all expectations. Nice comfortable rooms, with stunning sea views. The staff was incredibly attentive, ensuring every detail was perfect. The pool area and beach access were pristine, and the dining options offered delicious, diverse cuisine. From start to finish, a true paradise—highly recommend for a relaxing and indulgent getaway!

Keira Finucane

We just got home from the most beautiful stay at Mitsis Faliraki. I can't recommend this hotel enough - it was PERFECT. I think what really makes it stand out is having the themed restaurants. You didn't have to leave the hotel because every night offered a different dining experience (the Italian was my absolute favourite!). The food and drinks were exceptional. I will be dreaming about the Vanilla & Mango Mojito! The hotel had lots of different activities - the aqua aerobics was fantastic and we also joined a pilates class which was lovely. The entertainment every night was top class - we loved dancing with Pedro Santana and the funky band! The hotel is also right on the beach where there's loads of water activities. Finally, a very honourable and worthy mention to the wonderful staff. From the moment we arrived to the hotel we felt so welcome. Everyone was so lovely and helpful, and it was clear that they all enjoyed their work. We are a couple that prefer to venture to different places when we go on holidays but we can truly say we will 100% be returning. We've also influenced many family and friends to visit! Thank you so so much for our stay. Looking forward to seeing you in 2025!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Rodos Maris, and I can’t speak highly enough of the experience! From the moment I arrived, I was impressed with every detail, but a few highlights truly stood out. Firstly, the food at the hotel was another memorable aspect of my stay. Each meal was delicious, with a diverse range of cuisines to try. The real stars of the culinary experience, though, were the sweets! Each dessert was like a work of art, both in presentation and taste. I found myself eagerly awaiting each meal just to try a new treat—the pastries, cakes, and chocolate delicacies were simply out of this world. The sea view was beyond breathtaking. The beach was pristine with crystal-clear waters, and the gentle waves created the most serene atmosphere. Whether lounging by the shore or taking a sunset stroll, I felt as if I’d found a slice of paradise. Lastly, a special mention to the wonderful team at the Mexican restaurant. The waitresses were so friendly and welcoming, making us feel like family from the start. Their warmth added an extra layer of enjoyment to each dining experience, making it feel truly authentic.

Sarah Last

Lovely hotel...rated at a 5* but at best a possible 3+/4 but... The staff are amazing!! Big shout out to Chris,Elizabeth and Junior at the bar!!! The hotel is currently going through renovations which it does need, we were lucky enough to get a newly renovated room (633) we went on the last week of the season and the staff couldn't do enough for us! Welcome drinks on arrival, golf buggy to our room, mini fridge filled daily, fresh towels on request...some aspects were definitely 5* such as service...the small things like quality products in the room and the points I've previously mentioned. Down side some staff were rude but we have put it down to it being the end of the season and exhausted. Value for money...YES!!! location AMAZING!!! I would recommend getting a private transfer though as even with a taxi it was still 1 hour from the airport. Entertainment excellent 👍🏻. We will be returning for sure.

Kiran Kumar Tathekalva

I had an incredible stay at Mitsis Rodos Maris! We spent a week here and thoroughly enjoyed every moment. The hotel offers a fantastic range of amenities and services that made our stay both relaxing and fun. The pool area was beautiful and well-maintained – perfect for lounging and swimming throughout the day. We loved the variety of food options, including the delicious a la carte restaurants and brunch options. Make sure to book these experiences in advance; they’re definitely worth it! For families, the hotel’s kids’ club and entertainment activities were a huge bonus. Our kids had an amazing time with the activities provided, and it gave us a chance to relax as well. Plus, the hotel is just a short walk from the beach, which was ideal for beach days without the hassle of driving. We also appreciated the convenience of the on-site amenities like ample car parking, stroller rentals for a minimal deposit, and plenty of nearby shops for souvenirs and essentials. The staff was friendly and always willing to help, making us feel very welcome from start to finish. One area for improvement would be adding more options for toddlers. A soft play area would be a wonderful addition and provide a safe, engaging space for younger children to enjoy. Overall, I highly recommend Mitsis Rodos Maris to anyone looking for a family-friendly getaway with great food, activities, and a prime location.

Miss Veroni

We stayed in the resort for 7 nights. It was our first time at this place and the welcome impression was the most disappointing. The receptionist was extremely arrogant and unhelpful. For example, she didn't inform us about things like fitness with Angie? I found this info here on Google reviews. She made a fuss to answer any question. We felt very uncomfortable and unwelcome. Another thing is that we didn't have electricity in our bungalow. So on arrival we couldn't have a shower, stayed in the dark room with not working minibar, without air-conditioning or couldn't charge our phones. It really made a really bad first impression. It took 2 full days to get to the point where the mini fridge actually started to work! Above all we also had to pay tax upon the arrival for the every day stay at the hotel. Also, our son didn't get a proper duvet just some old blanket to cover. Although we couldn't complain about the food or drinks. Those were really good. The stuff and management of the restaurants- truly 5 stars.

Ariana Somesan

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this amazing hotel, and it exceeded all my expectations! The location is perfect—just a short walk from the beach, making it super convenient to enjoy the sun and surf every day. The rooms were spacious, clean, and well-maintained, providing a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere for our stay. One of the highlights of my experience was the incredible activities offered by the hotel. Angie, who runs several of the fitness programs, truly made our stay memorable. Every morning, we started our day with her fantastic stretching sessions, followed by yoga and other exercises that left us feeling energized and refreshed. Angie also organized daily volleyball games, which were so much fun and a great way to meet other guests. Whether you’re looking for relaxation or fun activities, this hotel offers the perfect balance. I highly recommend it and would definitely stay here again!

Hotel Sunshine Rhodes We recently stayed at Hotel Sunshine Rhodes and had a lovely experience, which I would rate as 4 stars. The hotel boasts a fantastic location right by the beach, making it perfect for those who want to escape the busy pool area. If the pool feels too loud or crowded, you can simply step onto the beach, which is conveniently located next to it. The food overall was a highlight. Breakfast was standard—similar to what you'd find in many hotels—but I would have loved to see more local fruits included. However, lunch and dinner were exceptional. The variety was impressive, with fresh and tasty options that catered to all tastes. We especially enjoyed the Greek yoghurt dips and the dessert section, which included delicious ice cream; we indulged in them every day! We stayed in room 105, situated in the first block. While the location was great, the room itself was dated. The mattress was in need of replacement, and the shower could use a thorough deep clean. Additionally, we encountered some pesky mosquitoes. My husband suffered from the bites so severely we had to visit the pharmacy; installing a net on the balcony door would definitely help. Next time we'll know to be prepared. Despite these room issues, the staff made our stay memorable. From the cleaning ladies, who were always accommodating, to the reception team, who were incredibly patient and helpful despite the constant complaints from guests about the hotel's dated facilities, their friendliness truly stood out. Dining at the Mama Mia restaurant (part of the hotel experience included in the price of the hotel) was a mixed experience. While the food was okay, it wasn't as good as the main restaurant, and we had to ask for extra drinks. However, the desserts were delightful, and we ended up having a fun evening thanks to the company of a lovely English couple we met. The poolside snack bar was a pleasant surprise, offering great options served until 4:30 PM, which was perfect for lazy days by the water. The hotel provided plenty of activities, including darts, water aerobics, mini-golf, tennis, and more. The hotel bars offered stunning sea views, and the location is ideal, with many local markets, bars, and restaurants nearby. Plus, bus connections to Rhodes Old Town and cheap car rentals made exploring easy. I only rate it 4 stars due to the room conditions, as the photos on the website can be misleading, showcasing newer buildings instead of the existing ones. While I understand the marketing strategy, it doesn't accurately reflect the present condition and has led to this negative review and disappointment. Overall, we had a wonderful stay, returning relaxed and happy, and I would definitely consider staying here again. Just keep in mind that while it's not a luxury hotel, it has plenty of charm and benefits. I hope this review helps others in their decision-making!

Emma Spencer

Stunning location Right near the strip. Full of beautiful restaurants bars and plenty of shops We had a family room The room was plenty big enough with a sea view. The bathroom needs tidying up. Sealant on the shower is full of mold. It rained for 2 days and the room got flooded. They font seem to fix the cracks and water damage. Just dry it out. Service is mostly very good. There are the odd ones that are rude. Especially one lady in the mama Mia restaurant. She was impatient and took our plates away while we were eating. Food was really terrible in there. The main breakfast lunch tea restaurant was lovely. Plenty on offer every day and lovely staff. Pool bar is lovely Set on the beach its a beautiful location.

Jodie Miller

Stayed for 14 nights, hotel needs updating but generally had a good time, pools were lovely, only downside was the poor all inclusive drinks and food, unless you like their overly sweet cocktails, u cannot really have a drunk unless you like beer. No other options for any other drinks. And between 3-5 you can't have a cocktail! Food was very poor and basic ate out most nights.

Matt Jones

More of a 3 stars than a 4 star. Some aspects are dated, but the public areas, pools, gardens and beach is kept immaculate they take real pride in that, staff are great. Food is a bit below par but has a variety and the drinks are quite poor for an all inclusive unless you like beer. Great location and is ideal for a quiet get away, if you want to explore the island you need to rent a vehicle.

Standardized Anomaly

All Inclusive hotel with very nice pool area, close to everywhere, the beach, the airport and Rhodes town. Close to the hotel is a lot of gift shops and a good, cheap car rental (Sky Rent a Car). Some rooms are a bit outdated. The buffet restaurant (Dionyssos) has very good rotating menu. Overall an excellent place!

Leon Gottschalk

My family and I had a wonderful stay at this hotel in Rhodes. The breathtaking views and perfect weather made our vacation truly special. The location was ideal, with plenty of activities and attractions just a short distance away. We loved the delicious food, and the staff was always friendly and attentive. Our rooms were cozy and provided a comfortable retreat after our daily adventures. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we would happily return!

This is me

This is an exceptional reasonably priced hotel. It has been recently refurbished and there are a variety of of rooms and out looks. Multiple seating areas, pools and bars. Great for families, but adult only quiet area also. All very close to fantastic sandy beaches and calm seas. Great swimming and snorkeling. As other reviewers have written - the food and drinks are extremely good. Great location, arguably best area to go exploring from on the island. Complementary sandwiches and water for late arrivals, and water from shop nice extra touches. All in all a superb holiday. Efharisto para poli much Sunrise Team!

Tanya Jayne

Came again for 2 weeks in October for my 7th year running. Absolutely love this place. Perfect location. Staff are always amazing, good variety of food and drinks always available. The little shop is very reasonable and has some great little gifts. Its a great place for a family holiday, but is also a perfect place for a solo traveller like myself as it has an adult only area. I will definitely be returning next year in my favourite room! Let the countdown begin 😍

Ella St John

Had a lovely stay here last week for mine and my partners anniversary. The staff were great! Very friendly and they congratulated us and made our stay memorable, we were very touched. The views surrounding the hotel are stunning and the facilities on the site meant there was a lot to do although we spent 90% of our time by the pool! The food was great, excellent service from the restaurant staff too. All the staff are a credit to the hotel to be honest. I hope to be back again one day

Jason Nicholl

Excellent location staff are very friendly polite and professional good. Check in was easy and simple the staff explained everything we needed to know. The room was lovely and clean with a lovely view of the swimming pool and sea, the bed was very comfortable and the shower was excellent with plenty clean towels. The pool area was clean and tidy unfortunately the only downside was that there wasn't enough sun loungers and some were broken, the pool bar was excellent and the staff were great and the shop was handy too was open late every day. Restaurant was clean plenty of tables and chairs to sit inside and out, the food was lovely plenty of choice and very fresh. The beach bar was excellent at night excellent choice of drinks and reasonably priced, always played good music too. The entertainment at night was good also watched various singers and a fire show. This hotel is within walking distance from Pefkos and a short taxi ride to Lindos. I would highly recommend this hotel and definitely return soon.

Darren Day

Arrived just after midnight, we booked in. We were told by the receptionist that they had laid a bite for us to eat. ( very kind of them). The rooms are very clean and the beds were made every day. Even clean towels everyday. Had a look around the hotel next day. Very nice. We even found part of the hotel that was quiet for adults. No kids in the pools on that part and it had 5 pools on that part. (Very nice ) The hotel staff are very pleasant and friendly. One of the waitress called SOTI was very nice, always happy to see us. Again very friendly. The restaurant can get busy, so be early or you might have to wait a little. Range of food from 7am until 9:45 at night Can’t wait to come back next year for 2 weeks. Over all 5 out 5 for the hotel and the staff.

Thilde Uberg

I really enjoyed our stay. Our room was not fully clean upon arrival, but after telling the staff, it was fixed right away. Nice and modern rooms. The food was nice, but a bit cold at times. The pizza was amazing, and always hot! The dining hall is kind of small, a bit crowded at times. We usually came at the start of the meals to prevent this! The drinks in the jungle bar were amazing. Also the staff was really nice, Elli and Anna. I got engaged here, and the jungle bar gave us a bottle of sparkling wine to bring to our room to celebrate! We really appreciated that! ☺️Overall we had a nice stay!

Helen Bishop

Arrived at hotel gone midnight didn't have the greatest of greetings just an elderly man checking us in . Then taken by car to other side of hotel ,met by two security guards. Felt this isn't great! As he was on phone arguing,we were put in a small room ,it was like a fridge ! . But security guy did say if your not happy they will move you . Which they did to a lovely room overlooking the pool. But was soon ruined by a young couple arguing till gone midnight ,so walls are thin ! But staff were great and was instantly sorted. Staff friendly and hard working very clean hotel ! . Food great. But sadly beach too gritty and not inviting town run down . But great bus service ,a few minutes from hotel .

Danny

We visited as a couple on our anniversary for 1 week in mid October. The staff are exceptional, very friendly and always willing to help. We are surprised that some reviewers have said they are rude, we can only surmise that those people are the ones who treat staff badly and expect everything in return, which we witnessed several times. Just be nice to people! Charoula and the big boss of the hotel (didn't catch her name, but she's always visible and making sure things are running smoothly) are truly an asset to the hotel - they really care and engage with the guests and help in any way they can. Elli on the bar and Emuli and Soti in the restaurant are an absolute delight, always smiling and happy. We stayed in the new section of the hotel and the rooms are exceptional. They keep this as the quiet section of the hotel, adults only and it's very peaceful and serene. There is room for improvement with the housekeeping, but not to the point it would detract us from rebooking, they just need more housekeeping staff and higher standards reflecting the build quality of the hotel. Probably the most pools i have ever seen at a hotel, so they were never overcrowded and no need to reserve sun loungers. This made the stay particularly peaceful and chilled. The waterslides in the kids section are great - even for a couple of grown adults! They will certainly keep kids occupied for ages. The food was good, there's always something for everyone throughout the day. The pizza's made from scratch and to order were a particular standout. Lots of fresh salad and vegetables, but the fruit offering could be improved. Desserts were delicious. The alcoholic drinks were ok but there is room for improvement. Quite heavily watered down and disguised with sweet cordials. We found the wines quite good in comparison and a simple Gin & Tonic to be good. Surprised not to find fresh orange juice, only concentrated sugary stuff. Overall they made our stay very special and memorable and i would recommend anyone thinking of booking to go for it!

Amazing hotel, staff are fantastic can’t do enough for you! Very clean, food is lovely with so much variety. I’m a vegetarian and there are lots of options. Rooms are very nice and I Can’t say enough about the staff, they work so hard and are very friendly. Lots of different pools and slides for the kids. Kiki the manager is the best, she booked us a meal out for my husband’s birthday and arranged transport for all 30 of us. There are cats and kittens here and they all look after them so well, which has made my holiday, one of the kittens was quite poorly and she’s arranged the vets to sort him out. Honestly one of the best hotels I have stayed in!

Konstantin Vasiliev

Our family (wife, husband and 10 years old son) enjoyed very much to stay in your hotel in last summer. We had been impressed by all facilities the hotel has. The hotel has amazing swimming pool, sport facilities, variety of restaurants & bars. The hotel has very beautiful garden and see view from teras and simple access to the beach with amazing light blue see. We had very careful support from all hotel personal, very warm and friendly receptionist team always helping us with all our questions. We would like to give special thanks to Anastasia Hatzidavitidi for her help with many arrangements. Looking forward to be in that hotel again. Definitely recommended.

Peter Edgcombe

Just returned from a fantastic weeks stay at the Grecotel Dama Dama. The staff are exceptional. The place is truly amazing. Having the option of a huge chilled pool with the sea and beach right on your doorstep. Would highly recommend for families, couples and even solo travelers. There is a variety of entertainment and activities that you can partake in if you wish but there’s no pressure. It’s high on the list of places I’d like to return to.

Lee Court

A stunning location on the shores of the Aegean sea, warm water, a gently sloping beach. Alright it's not soft powdery white sand but you can't have everything. Its definitely geared more towards families than say couples, and as a solo traveller it's not the best hotel I've ever stayed in, but there things to do all day and into the night Food is fantastic, you don't have to wait long for a drink, but if you're on the beach or by the pool, then you're getting you're own drinks sadly. I had a superior poolside bungalow, which isn't that superior and not really at the side of the pool, but I could pop back whenever I wanted which is handy. A la carte restaurants are better than the buffet, but you need to book well in advance if your trip as space is limited. There is a lot to like about the Grecotel Dama Dama, and I give it 4 stars, even though they claim to be a 5 star hotel......

Julie Colledge

We just love the Dama Dama. Our 2nd visit. The welcome is second to none. The rooms are beautiful and well appointed. The photos on the website are just how it really is. There's always plenty of choice food wise. But what makes it so very special for us is the incredible staff. ❤️❤️❤️

Alexandra

Starting with the location of the hotel, which is easy to arrive to, and being by the sea, the hotel provides incredible views, along with amazing pools. The restaurant (Dama Dama) is very clean and well organised, and the food is diversified, fresh and delicious, covering each culinary style. The room we had was big, spacious and full of light. The only downgrade is that even though there is a pool specifically for kids, parents tend to make kids stay in the main pool, which is disturbing, because some people want to relax, including us, which is impossible while hearing kids scream . Besides this, the hotel is beautiful and I would definitely recommend it to everyone.

nicholas barrett

I love this hotel, This was my favourite holiday yet that i’ve ever been on! The rooms are absolutely amazing. With great views. The food selection is my favourite bit about this hotel, it tastes so good!! It has so much different varieties of food, and i love how it’s all connected in one building with a rooftop pool and bar, and right next to the private beach. The location is brilliant, next to the coastline and such warm weather. The staff are absolutely amazing throughout the whole resort, and the spa is excellent, so soothing and calming, do recommend it here.

Steve Lambert

Just returned from a 11 day half board basis holiday with my wife. We had a fantastic time. The hotel was modern with a relaxed atmosphere. The staff could not do enough to help you. Our room was modern and cleaned every day with clean towels provided. There was a great choice of food in the restaurant and the food and staff were excellent. Service was quick. The reception staff were very helpful and polite.We used the pool on the roof and at any time of the day were able to get a sun bed. Position of the hotel is ideal for visiting Rhodes Town. We will definitely return

m kk

Absolutely fantastic hotel.We stayed here for 7 days and couldn’t be happier. Great food, great room, great location , great views but the best of all were the staff members. Always very polite, friendly, professional and with smile on their faces. I would recommend to everyone. Thank you for great stay.

Marina

A very nice 5 stars hotel. All the staff are friendly, polite and helpful - reception, breakfast/lunch/dinner staff, cleaning ladies and pool/beach personnel. They were able to answer any question quickly and in an efficient manner. We stayed for a week and did not get tired or bored of the same food - there was a big choice for every day. The room was big enough and clean; they also changed towels everyday. We had the room with the sea view and a balcony which was amazing. The road in front of the hotel might be a bit noisy sometimes, but the windows are soundproof and the air conditioning works really well, so it wasn’t a problem at all (to be fair, this road runs along the entire coast and other hotels were much closer to the road with much less space). There were always sun beds available everywhere (both beach and pools); 3 pools are big enough to swim and even to play games (like water polo or any ball/raquette game). You should definitely choose this hotel if you want a relaxing holiday with sun, beach and yummy Mediterranean food. Thanks again to all the staff and hope to see you soon!

Michaela Miskovcikova

Great location, SPA was amazing (we did some procedures and they were totally worth it). Private beach was also amazing (and mostly clean). What we were bit disappointed about was that sun beds on grass are only for Elite studios (the sign could be more visible and Mr. coming to tell us so could be definitely nicer). Reception was busy almost all time and when we arrived we had issues with bathroom door (couldn't close properly, nor lock) so we went downstairs to ask if they can send someone and there was only one lady there and about 10 people in line, mostly asking to call taxi). Overall pleasant experience but some little things can be improved.

David Oliver

Reading the recent reviews makes me question if we were taken to the correct hotel! It was far from a nice experience! I’m inclined to agree with the reviews from a few weeks ago regarding the rude staff. The male staff who were working in the outdoor area of the restaurant were rude, grumpy, and unhelpful. They didn’t even clear our plates, we had to move our own plates to unused tables. The quality of service at the reception was dependant on who was on duty. Booking system for the restaurants was badly communicated and managed. Missed out on reservations due to their poor communication. Food was overcooked. Very few traditional Greek dishes. Area around the slides was dirty and potentially unsafe due to poor management of the floor matting. Rooms were dirty and looking tired. Key card would lose its memory multiple times a day, despite keeping it away from phones and other devices that could cause it to fail. Too many bad points to waste my time writing! Good points: Very friendly staff at the pool bars. Very friendly chef. Cleaners were friendly. But not enough of them. Going home. I’ve paid far less and received much better service and quality of food. Given the price of the holiday we are very disappointed. Perhaps it wouldn’t have felt so bad if we had been treated better. Stay well clear!

The hotel was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The rooms were spacious, elegantly decorated, and impeccably clean, providing a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. The dining options were diverse, offering delicious meals that showcased local flavors and international cuisine. The staff was friendly and attentive, always ready to assist with any request. The highlight of our stay was the spa. Katerina at the spa reception was incredibly welcoming and helpful, ensuring we had everything we needed. Paola provided an amazing massage that left me feeling rejuvenated and completely relaxed. Overall, this was an unforgettable experience, and I can’t wait to return!

Teegan Kirby

We went here in September for 7 nights. We had the most amazing time. The room was perfect and spacious, staff friendly, great pools (our favourite was the one with the slides!!) and a decent selection of entertainment. But as foodies, we can confirm the food and drink here were great! We did the Mexican, Greek and steak al a carte options and they were amazing with huge portions. The buffet breakfast and lunch were great with some reoccurring options each day, but always many differing options each nice, too. There was always plenty of choice so as to not get bored. The BEST bits for us were the burger house, the crepe/gelato stand, and the snack bar on the beach. There is also a HUGE range of drinks at each bar. There was always so much choice of what to do in the days and evenings, we had something new to do/watch/get involved in every day. Would LOVE to come back here :)

Anna Tsiakalou

The hotel was truly exceptional, offering all the amenities one could wish for a relaxing stay. However, what really made the difference was the spa experience. A special thanks to Katerina, who welcomed us with such kindness and professionalism, making us feel comfortable and at ease right from the start. Additionally, Paola was absolutely amazing! Her massage was one of the best we’ve ever had, and it was clear she has great skill and passion for her work. We’ll definitely be returning to the hotel for its excellent service and outstanding spa treatments!

Μαρια Καλαρα

My stay at the hotel was truly exceptional and exceeded my expectations. From the moment I arrived, the staff were friendly and attentive, making me feel very welcome. The rooms were spacious and well-maintained, and the common areas provided a perfect space for relaxation. The location of the hotel is ideal for exploring the local attractions. A standout experience was my visit to the spa. Paola did an amazing job with the French manicure and pedicure. She was extremely professional and attentive, and the result was absolutely perfect. Her friendly demeanor made me feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the treatment. If you're looking for a well-rounded relaxation experience, this hotel is definitely the best choice. I’ll definitely choose it again for my next visit!

Agnieszka Kaczmarek

hotel definitely below European standards cleanliness in rooms and generally in the recreation area below standards. The hotel needs renovation. Food is average, very monotonous and the choice is quite modest. If someone has purchased all inclusive, they must be prepared for quite high additional costs after 23 everything is payable and the choice of cocktails is quite modest. The number of available sunbeds by the pools is very limited and evenings with animators end around 23 despite the fact that it is a hotel for "adults". The biggest advantage is the location, the views are breathtaking and this would be the only plus of this hotel.

KujoTheUnderDog

I certainly wouldn't call this a 4-star hotel. The staff are fabulous, and the food is good, for all-inclusive, but the rooms are dated, the bed was horrifically uncomfortable, the bathrooms are a bit grotty, and the booze is low quality. "All-inclusive" cocktails are still charged at half price, are not well made, and do not use decent ingredients. Better cocktails can be found pretty much anywhere else nearby. The sunset is beautiful, though, and the evening entertainment is quite good.

Anne Goddard

Hotel is adequate at best, some of policy decisions made by hotel are ridiculous, I.e closing the roof pool bar but only leaving the bottom pool bar open, so you needed to go up and down about 50 steps to get anything to drink despite no where near enough sun beds for everyone, then they took away most of the sunbed mattress on the roof top bar. Staff were generally helpful as I need a gluten free diet but despite having contacted them before awareness of cross contamination was very limited, dessert was jelly everyday which was in with all the other desserts so other food dropped onto them regularly. Food quality could be vastly improved by being hot. No water in rooms and you are not allowed to fill your own water bottle from the dining room either. Told by reception you need to buy your own water even when on all inclusive. Evening entertainment was a fiasco as 45 chairs in the main bar for what appeared to be a full hotel..... I would give a higher rating for most of the staff accept surly barmen at the pools who didn't appear to want to there. Do not underestimate the steps !

Mumuree

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The two pools were perfect for relaxing, and the food was delicious with a great variety of options. The customer service was exceptional—staff were friendly and attentive, making sure everything was perfect throughout my stay. Highly recommend!

Tania Marin

We stayed for 7days. The food was really bad. We’ve had half board and the food was really greasy and almost the same every day. Also the glasses that we were drinking were really dirty. We’ve stayed on the first floor, we didn’t have a balcony and it was really hard to dry our beachwear because no direct sunlight was entering that room. Beds and pillows really uncomfortable and the room was looking really outdated. Also, you can hear everything from the other rooms. Definitely the hotel needs an upgrade because it doesn’t look like a 4star hotel, every piece of furniture is really oldand looks bad. The pool and the location was nice.

Petr Hank

Beautiful hotel on a beautiful place. Everybody can find his own way to enjoy this place. You can find calm places or you can enjoy an evening music. The staff is great, very friendly and helpful. The food is not bad. One can always find something for his liking. It is not the greatest, but we enjoyed it. Thank you!

Bordi Music

Staff was great, no doubts. Hotel is located close to the beach. Really nice swimming pools (3 of them). But ...the terrible smell for entire staying is unforgettable (no worries, you will get used to during first days though). Food is almost the same every single day, avarage quality.

Tina Cox

This hotel is advertised as a four star and I don't think it warrants this. The bedding and curtains are old, dated and dowdy. The pillows were tiny and lumpy and you couldn't get any extras.The stench from the sewers is overwhelming especially away from the main building. The staff are efficient but mostly not joyous in their work, Joanne at reception was the exception to this. The WiFi was practically non existent. The food was very samey and lukewarm, the saving grace was that there were some good local bars. I would not go back to the hotel again

Albert Kostaniak

Very nice hotel, located in a beautiful place 5 minutes from the beach. The rooms are nice and clean, the air conditioning works great. Food could be a little better but it is good and finally, the best person in the hotel - the barman Nicos, very nice and sociable.

Lynsey Chant

Beautiful place. Quieter than a bustling town. Great facilities. Good food. Nice pool. Great bar. We are going again in May!

vanda vecsei

We spent a fantastic week here with my family. The resort was clean and well maintained. The room was spacious and clean. We enjoyed the buffet on most days but found that there were not many chicken options. The evenings were filled with fun and laughter thanks to the amazing entertainment. The animators went above and beyond. Kids club was fantastic and a great opportunity for little ones to make friends and parents to have a few relaxing hours.

Anthony Lee

I took my wife for 5 days for her birthday, We stayed in the adult only part of the resort, and it was so peaceful and relaxing. The views were stunning, and there was a nice variety of food to choose from. The whole resort was so clean and tidy. all the staff were friendly and smiling. There were 3 different forms of entertainment each evening at the 3 different bars. We booked a spa treatment, which was very reasonably priced and It was fantastic. We only wish we would have booked longer, so much so we are booking again for next year and taking the whole family. The only negative thing we experienced was the mosquitos, but that is just nature and is no fault of the resorts whatsoever. Overall I cannot recommend this place enough. It was absolutely amazing.. Thank you once again and see you next year.

Heather

We had a lovely family holiday here. The highlight for us was that the hotel was right next to a gorgeous beach, where the sea was clean and clear. The food in the hotel was good, but it seemed to lack in variety from one night to the next. The rooms were fine and cleaned to a high standard. We had amazing sunset views from our balconies. The last day of our holiday was slightly stressful though as we booked and paid to have a late check-out of our rooms, but then we were informed at the last minute that we couldn't have these rooms so we quickly had to pack and move which messed up our plans. Also, we hadn't been given/couldn't find out information about our transfer back to the airport, and the reception staff couldn't help us with this. We know transfers are not their responsibility, but a bit of help working out what was going on would have been appreciated. Overall, however, we have very happy memories of our holiday at Sandy Beach, Corfu.

Rose Verse

I recently stayed at Sandy Beach Resort in Corfu, and it was a great experience. The beachfront location is perfect for relaxation, offering beautiful views and direct access to the sea. The rooms were clean and comfortable, with all the necessary amenities. The resort staff were friendly and helpful, and the overall atmosphere was peaceful. It’s a bit removed from busier areas, which is ideal for those seeking a quiet getaway. Would recommend!

Marina Mazza

Beautiful big , clean rooms. Good room service. Lovely food, enjoyed variety of salads and veggies. Beautiful, clean beach. But didn’t like that guests are reserving beach lounges by leaving their towel on it not giving fair opportunity to everyone to use them. But the same time in not very respectful manner I am with new born baby was told of when crossed dining in my bikini. It was not acceptable but at least I deserved to have private conversation not in front of people being punished like 10 year old naughty girl. Manager needs to learn how to solve conflict in nicer manners and keeping guest privacy. I found it’s rude and disrespectful. Poor service from manager. The rest is brilliant and worth money paid .

Christina Firth

Unfortunately I can't rate this place any higher. Don't get wrong the place is nice it's self. But also nothing to do outside the resort. Food was nice but the plates had a bad smell of sulphur. They are not washed properly. Really overwhelming smell of it. The dishwasher water needs changing more regularly. So that really put a downer on the experience of enjoying the food. Staff are lovely and very helpful. Also unfortunately out side our room smelt of feces all day long. The smell came in the room the smell at high heat of the day. Door was also broken so there was a massive gap at the side and the bottom so the geckos used to run in and out 😂🙄. Baby pool had tiles missing on the bottom of the floor so sharp and dangerous. We did like the slides and the apart from the sharp missing tiles the baby pool was very cute. The whole place definitely needs a revamp for sure but we did enjoy it apart from them things pointed out. But we wouldn't return and it's definitely not 5* I would say 3 at the most.

Ellis Borg

The staff are lovely and the rooms are well equipped however the cleaners sometimes didn't clean properly. The pools and facilities are good fun and of a high standard with a nice all round atmosphere. However the food was not up to standard and was very hit and miss. I stayed for a week and ended up getting food poisoning from the seafood night and ended up cancelling trips because of this. Stear clear from eating high risk foods here unfortunately as they have poisoned a few people that same week.

Jake Keith

Our family (two adults and a 2-year-old) had an amazing time for a week at the start of October '24. The buffet was surprisingly good. Specifically the whole salmon, lamb joint, and the offer of roasts every night. The grounds are beautiful and it's a very short walk (less than 5 mins) along to the pebble beach with bars and restaurants. My only suggestions are for pizza to be offered more in the buffet (kids love pizza) and for the desserts to be improved (some had a synthetic taste and we couldn't eat them). The staff are all lovely and the pools are great.

Bear Irving

Hotel is OK. Needs some TLC and updating. The rooms including the bathrooms are all open Fine for couples but maybe not when with self conscious teens. Food is nice, varied and plentiful. Cleaning in ok too. Near the beach, shops and bars which is good although paying to use the hotel beach seems mean!

Ian Jones

I liked the proximity of the beach, boat trips and the pool facilities. Although my partner was stung by a wasp by the childs pool near the flowers. The room I had was comfortable, clean, ventilated well and the beds were comfortably firm. The balcony was too close to the neighbours for me. The staff were good, however there are some problems with the food. Vast range of dishes but a lot was lacking flavour and 3 of the party had food poisoning during the stay including me, quite violently. A lot of potentially good Greek classics were ruined. Like the lamb shank having no sauce and being hard to eat. Feta being too salty. Grilled fish having no flavour. Souvalaki not quite right. It sounds like a lot of improvements have been made judging by some of the comments but some more quality checks in kitchen and front of house are needed.

denise Qazi

Rooms were as expected. Quite basic need a little updating. Beds are really hard. I felt like I got a pressure bruise on my hip. Food was lovely great variety each day. Wine was surprisingly good 3 white 3 rose and 3 red always found one that was suitable. The desserts were fantastic the best I've had at an all-inclusive. The spa is well worth a visit. Great massage head neck back perfect! Lovely Spa and staff are excellent.

Meg Tait

Me and my partner stayed for 8 days and it was lovely. The hotel itself is beautiful, the room was amazing and very modern with gorgeous views from the veranda. It is a very large complex so we did a lot of walking but there are buggies available to take you around site. I really enjoyed the food, a lot of options and it was nice to try new things. The desserts were also delicious. The food courts around site were very nice also, the bar next to the beach did lovely pasta dishes and pizza around lunch time. We dined in both restaurants on site and really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere in both. The staff were also lovely and welcoming. Overall it was a lovely holiday and thank you to all the staff.

Mikhail Starkov

The resort was great. We had a great week. Amazing buffet - great selection; we definitely overate. The only small thing that we found to be a problem for us is that there is nowhere to go for a walk - the road in front of a resort does not have a pedestrian sidewalk, so for a walk we had to take a buss

Janice Underwood

This is our second visit this year but would have to admit the first time was by far the better visit. The first two rooms offered were totally unacceptable but eventually an amazing hotel receptionist provided us with a good room similar to the one we stayed in on our first visit. Unfortunately coming at the beginning of the season and now at the end of the season you can certainly tell the difference.

Joanne Tatler

Beautiful hotel / apartments. Lovely over looking sea over to main land greece. No shops to walk to so bus to Corfu town €2 1hr or taxi 25 min €30 feel a bit isolated trapped. Food nice but same most night & lunch times but still able to find something nice to eat. Staff are all Fantastic and helpful. Would not be able to stay here with out the buggies that collect and drop you off around hotel due to quite hilly . Beautifully kept grounds . Infinity pool needs cleaning as it's green around edge and needs a bar to get drinks and snacks as doesn't have one . Entertainment been good each night too . All in all enjoyed our stay here thanks to the staff who all work hard .

Helen Wilson

We started coming to Kos in 1996. We still come back. In 2020 the hotel we usually stay at closed so we came here. We have returned three times and all I can say is it is what a fantastic place. The animation team are fantastic. The bar staff fantastic. The Maids kept our room spotless and the receptionists are so polite and helpful. The bus into town is punctual and very handy I will dare yogi to .not be impressed with the whole hotel. Ultra clean, food is so Good and drinks are great. Tonight the show put on was the best and I would recommend anyone comes to this beautiful place and enjoys their holiday. I wish we could stay longer. Two weeks of pure happiness and fun. Thank you thank you for the best time again.

Emma Maria

Positives first We were in a suite with an upstairs downstairs and it was immaculate, cleaned everyday and the air con worked fab. The view was just beautiful and we got to hear the entertainment at night from our balcony watching the sunset. There was a whole variety of food for breakfast lunch and dinner which meant most days the kids and adults were happy. Drinks are good measures 😂 too good maybe haha. The animator team are just awesome! My 4yr old son can be very challenging and they kept him entertained no problem, he fell in love with Miguel and Kevin and was so sad to leave them!! I'll be singing the sunshine song for the foreseeable! Plenty shaded areas for the kids, lots of shallow kids pools and snacks ice cream served throughout the day for them. The staff can never do enough for you apart from the old grumpy man who serves on the bar at the animator pool! Which brings us onto the negatives .... this man is so rude and grumpy it actually made us switch what pool we sat at because no one wanted to ask him for drinks, he huffed and puffed at us every time we asked for a drink, and God forbid you ask him if he was having a cigarette! I got my drinks slammed on the bar! The hotel shop is quite expensive but we found the shop down by the beach to be much more affordable so started using that. The drinks machines kept going out of order so had to walk up and down the dining room to find one that worked. But honestly they are the only negatives I could pick out of our 2weeks there. All in all it was a fabulous resort and we will most definitely be back!

Michał Gie

my biggest complaint about the hotel is one. it is generally dirty and you can see that the hotel needs renovation. a lot of flies in the restaurant, tables stick from dirt. ants in the rooms. traditional and Chinese food is good, other dishes especially the imitations of European average.

lennart Langels

The hotel is far away from everything and the service at the reception is not good. Only some of them can speak English and they how can speak English doesn't speak well. The service at the reception is not so well the information is not clear, sometimes incorrect and not at the acutall stand of time. The service at the restaurant is okay mostly the waiters are fast to take the dishes but it's quite normal that some people can't eat when they want because there are no seats left. The pools aren't heated and at a temperature around 15°C (the lake is warmer than the pools).

Sarah Bell

I bit out of kardemena, but service from waiters and waitresses was fabulous. The rooms get a lot of use and air conditioning is a bit noisy but they were well cleaned. Food was good it's very difficult to cater for lots of people but food was good. Highly recommend more sunbeds as people will always leave towels all day and not use them. Mermaid restaurant wasn't great, long waits and I understood what is trying to be achieved but it didn't really work out.

Peter Lowe

Very enjoyable stay. Our rooms were comfortable, clean and well positioned close to one of the pools. The grounds of the hotel were attractive and well maintained and there was lots of space for guests around the two pools. The nearby beach was also pleasant and the beautiful sunsets were a highlight each evening. There was plenty of choice of food and drink at breakfast, lunch and dinner and the quality was always good. Car hire is the best way to explore other beaches and resorts on the island as the location is a bit removed from the main tourist areas. Excellent value for money.

Hotcoco

Love this hotel! The closest town is within easy walking distance and from there it's easy to get to other towns on the island. We had a beachfront apartment which had stunning views across the sea. It was set a little away from main hotel next to the beach bar. We were all inclusive guests. The package is great, we didn't want for anything during our stay. The buffet has a varied selection so there is always something to cater for whatever you might fancy The staff were so nice, thank you so much to Nikos who really went above and beyond. A real credit to the hotel :)

Erik Hedlund

I'm going to give a more balanced review than many here. Kouros Palace is neither 5* nor 1*. I came here with the expectation of the hotel not being 5 *, more like a low 4 *. But sadly, even then my expectations were too high. The good: Great pool areas. 4 *. Great beach with beach bar. 4 *. The service is good. 4 *. The bad: The rooms are somewhat dated and in need of renovation. Also they have some very strange design decisions (like having a window in the door to the hallway which is always lit, therefore it's impossible to get the room as dark as I would've wanted, why?). 2,5 *. The ugly: The food. It's.. not good. The a la carte was decent. Great view and decent food. 3,5 *. The buffet is bad. And that's when I try to rate it from a 3-4* expectation. If I expect 5*, it's absolutely terrible. 2 *. Overall: A debatable 2 *, mostly because of the food.

Klaudia Górzna

We got robbed on the last day of our stay. A gold necklace and a gold pendant went missing after the room was cleaned by the staff. Both items were lying on the shelf seperately (not attached to each other), with other non-gold jewellery. It’s very suspicious that the only 2 gold items were missing. We checked the whole room, in the bed, in the sheets, clothes, under the bed etc. We immediately reported it to the reception but they did not care and had no interest in helping us. They didn’t even ask how it look like, when did it happen etc. They said that it probably got folded with the sheets. Not sure how that is possible since the jewellery was not lying on the bed and the only 2 gold items were suddenly missing (all other jewellery was untouched). The lady at the reception said they can check the laundry room in the morning even though we told them that we are leaving in the middle of the night for our flight back home. They told us they will e-mail us in the morning once they check but we haven’t heard back. They also refused to call the police. Is this how a 5-star hotel should be treating their guests? Based on the law the hotel is responsible for items left in the room but they don’t seem to care. The jewellery was obviously worth a lot of money but it had more of a sentimental value as this was given to me by my grandma 20 years ago. Don’t recommend staying there if you don’t want to get robbed.

Line Clarke

If you like a trashy holiday this is the place for you. Loud music & entertainment by the pool during the day.You as a paying guest has to move ur sunbed for their loud speaker where they blast the same trashy music. No relaxation. Room got cleaned once. Had to call for clean towels & bin to b emptied. Then waited 45min for it 2 arrive!. Dinner was like a canteen. Food was horrible & cold. Yes, I should have checked how isolated this hotel was& that they did entertaiment during day. 5 star hotel😂, more like a 3. The only plus side was our room right by beach, amazing view & Aaron what a credit to the hotel this guy is. Amazing service from this man

Tea Jaho

We had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The staff were friendly and always willing to assist, making us feel welcomed. The location was ideal, just a short walk from various attractions. Our room was stylish and comfortable, very clean, featuring a lovely view. We also appreciated the hotel’s amenities, especially the spa and restaurant. Overall, it was a delightful experience, and we would gladly recommend this hotel to anyone.

We had a wonderful experience at this hotel. The staff was attentive and always ready to help with a warm smile. The location was perfect, close to many attractions and easy to access. Our room was modern and well-equipped, with a beautiful view from the window. We also enjoyed the hotel amenities, especially the pool and fitness center. Overall, it was a memorable stay, and we would definitely recommend this hotel to others.

We had a great time at this hotel. We had booked into a basic room which was fine and we were happy with. 3 days into our trip we got offered an upgrade to a room that had direct access to a pool. If you get the chance I would book this room. The drinks are all branded and the cocktails were lovely. The food was very tasty. The walk up and down to the beach is about 5 minutes and it not too bad of a walk. Overall I would fully recommend this hotel. We paid £700 each including flights and it was great value for money

Overall I really liked Mitsis Family Village. The location and the sea views are really nice. The staff is very friendly and constantly takes care of the property. The food selection is not huge, but the quality is good. The rooms are very spacious and clean although in some aspects they are certainly dated. I would recommend this hotel, especially for families with children. As soon as we arrived, a somewhat unpleasant episode occurred, which the hotel manager kindly and promptly remedied by offering us an à la carte dinner. It was a very appreciated gesture and I think it is right to report it. Also for this reason, if one day we will have the chance, we will gladly return to Mitsis Family Village for our holidays. Thanks again for everything.

Firstly, the staff were incredible. From reception, to waiters, the crepes woman and our maid were so kind and friendly. Everyone is always willing to help anyway they can. The rooms are outdated but still pleasant, pillows are very comfy. Our TV didn’t work which on a nighttime a bit of white noise is nice but it wasn’t missed. The views are amazing, but the location is difficult for people like us. Luckily you can walk into Kardamena or get a bus. The food wasn’t the best, the fries were so tasty and a great idea with pizza on the beach but other than that, pretty basic. The food and isolation of the hotel were a downfall but that’s because we aren’t the kind of couple that enjoys just “all inclusive”. Each to their own. We both thank the staff for their hard work and kindness, you may think that they’re just doing their job but they all go above and beyond for you.

I liked the hotel and the rooms. Especially the staff was very helpful. The rooms were cleaned daily and the buffet was with some of variety. I went with my 2 daughters and they loved the pool especially the saltwater one. Which was close to our room. We didn’t really use our private pool because it was too cold. Beautiful surroundings and taken care of. Since nothing is perfect there were a few things I didn’t like. That we had to pay for the gaming bit. A few coins per day would have been nice for the kids and I couldn’t get the drinks refilled at breakfast or dinner buffet. Beautiful country seemed very safe they even had a refrigerator outside the store even when the store was closed. And didn’t have to pay for parking! 🥰

From arrival, we were greeted with warmth and welcoming by Miltiadis which continued throughout our stay. The room which we stayed in was a family room with private pool and was always maintained and stocked for our visit. A minor during this season is that the sun does not hit the private pool or deck but the main pool is fully enjoyable and in sun. The beach always had sun beds available and the sea was stunning and warm. The beach bar staff were exceptional and we highly recommend visiting this bar. The food was fantastic. The bar was tremendous with great compliments of live bands playing throughout the nights. The evening cocktail bars were very relaxing and chilled out. Staff were very prompt and friendly with special mentions to Erika and Edi. Overall a fabulous holiday and would recommend to anyone.

Daisie Russ

The hotel was stunning and everybody was so friendly. Mariana was lovely. The room was left spotless and she even left us flowers. Absolutely beautiful. Would definitely come here again. The building, pool and beach was amazing. Loved it here and we don’t want to leave!

Pauline Hollingworth

Amazing day on the beach here today, big shout out to Maleki thanks for the drinks recommendation and great service. Edi and the waiting staff in main bar working flat out with smiles on their faces at all tines to ensure we have the best time. Everyone throughout the whole hotel are so helpful and friendly making our experience special.

We had a pleasant stay at Mitsis Ramira Hotel as a family of three. The staff were amazing and friendly, making us feel very welcome throughout our visit. The hotel offers a variety of amenities and activities, which we thoroughly enjoyed. However, there are a few areas that could use some improvement. The hotel is starting to look a bit dated, and the kids club, needs an update. The huts where the kids club is located were too hot, making it uncomfortable for the children. Additionally, we were a bit disappointed with the lack of seafood options. There was only one night where we had stuffed calamari and prawns, which seemed unusual given the hotel’s coastal location. Prior to our arrival, I sent a message with some requests, but when we arrived, we were told they hadn’t received the request. This was a bit frustrating. Overall, we had a good time, but addressing these issues could make the experience even better. I would give the hotel 4 stars instead of 5.

Tracy Evans

The hotel isn't what you expect from a four star, you have to pay for use of safe, no kettle in room, no entertainment other than greek music one night. Majority of staff aren't friendly. Definitely catered for German guests, we stayed in September & there were mainly German pensioners. All inclusive drinks were self service drinks in the day so it was limited to a few options, no spirits until after 6pm. Food was quite bland, dinning room dark & dated, trees around hotel blocked out alot of sunlight. Sunbeds were plentiful, pools were clean, rooms were clean. All German channels on the TV no English. No toiletries in bathroom either, few tweaks could do so much better as per other reviews. Wouldn't stay here again if I came back to kos.

Don’t be fooled by the photos of this Supposedly 4-Star All-Inclusive Resort. My recent stay at what was advertised as a 4-star all-inclusive resort left me thoroughly disappointed. Despite the expectations set by its rating, the experience was far from what one would anticipate from such a classification. Here are the issues that marred our stay: Food Quality and Dining Experience: Let's start with the food—perhaps the most critical aspect of an all-inclusive resort. Unfortunately, it was an outright disaster. The self-service buffet offered a limited selection of unimaginative, bland, and often unappetizing dishes. It was incredibly disheartening to see the same food repeated across breakfast, lunch, and dinner, making mealtimes a monotonous chore rather than an enjoyable experience. To make matters worse, it was evident that some salads and dishes were repurposed leftovers from the previous day, which raises serious concerns about freshness and hygiene. Breakfast hours were particularly frustrating. The service officially ran from 7:00 to 9:45 AM, but if a dish ran out at 9:10 AM, it was never replenished. This stinginess was both surprising and unacceptable, especially when guests have paid for an all-inclusive service. Beverages and Bar Service: The hotel advertises a range of local alcohol-free beverages and alcoholic drinks available from 6:00 PM to 11:00 PM. However, the reality was far less generous. The selection was severely limited, and basic cocktails like mojitos were inexplicably chargeable. Even some simple drinks that should have been included came with additional costs, which felt like a deliberate attempt to squeeze more money out of guests. Accessibility Issues: Accessibility was another significant problem. The lift was not on the ground floor, meaning you had to navigate 8-9 stairs just to reach it. For elderly guests, those with mobility issues, or parents with infants in pushchairs, this was a considerable inconvenience. A 4-star hotel should be far more mindful of accessibility and inclusivity, and this setup was not only inconvenient but also potentially hazardous. Room Amenities: The room amenities were shockingly inadequate. The hotel provided only three small bars of soap, with no shampoo or body wash included. When we requested these basic necessities, we were told we had to purchase them. This is simply unacceptable in a supposedly 4-star establishment. The in-room TV was another letdown, with channels only available in German or Greek. For international guests, this renders the TV practically useless. Additionally, the promised "Free WiFi" was a joke—it offered a painfully slow speed of less than 2-3 Mbps, making it nearly impossible to use for even basic tasks like checking emails. The One Saving Grace: The only positive aspect of this hotel was its proximity to the beach, just a 5-minute walk away. However, this one advantage is far from enough to justify the 4-star rating or the overall cost of the stay. Final Thoughts: In conclusion, this hotel falls woefully short of the 4-star standard it claims to uphold. The poor food quality, limited beverages, lack of basic amenities, and accessibility issues are significant drawbacks that overshadow the few positive aspects. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone expecting a true 4-star experience. There are undoubtedly better options available that offer genuine value for money and a more enjoyable stay.

Overall a decent hotel, mostly very nice staff and a decent location. Nice beach right in front of the hotel and a bus stop right outside to Kos town. Could focus on cleanliness a bit more. Food was quite repetitive and not the best for a picky eater. There is 2 large pools for adults which were nice. But you have to wake up early and go reserve a sunbed since everybody just leaves their towels there and leaves so its very hard to get 3 spots if you dont go early. Also the hotel market had a very small selection and it was very difficult to go into there since it had extremely odd opening times. (closes for half of the day from 14.00-19.00) and even when it was supposed to be open

Emily

Great location - lovely beach, bars, shops and restaurants all within close walking distance. Rooms were rather small but clean (no kettle). TV was stuck on German without option to change. Food was basic and repetitive, not very much selection compared to other all inclusive hotels. Hotel is over run by Germans - very German centered. Food is only available at certain times and cocktails and spirits only available after 6pm for a few hours - which we were a little shocked at considering it is all inclusive. Staff were friendly.

I really want to give this four stars and maybe I would have if this was a 3 star resort, but it's defined by the hotel and TUI as 4. Rooms: if booking with Tui check if you have the rooms at the back of the resort or the main building. We was initially given a room at the back of the resort which was dated and not shower friendly for those with accessibility difficulties. The room was not blue and renovated like it was advertised on the TUI website. This was rectified by the hotel after 2 nights. I am thankful for the hotel for being able to resolve this. The newly renovated rooms feel 4 star Food: this isn't four star food. I've recently stayed in a 2 star resort in the canaries and the food was on par with what was available here. Food was very repetitive and this was echoed by other guests. Spag bowl every single day with the same desserts full of cream. I appreciated the fresh fruit but constant chips, pasta, and occasional fish left us eating out more than in. Snack time was the same for the majority of the week with many foods not replaced causing guests to run to the front and leave crumbs for others Drink: Cocktail not available until after 6pm which didn't feel very inclusive. It's nice to be able to help yourself to tea and coffee, but at a four star hotel if I ask for it at a bar I'd expect to receive service.  Didn't feel very four star to have to queue elsewhere for basic coffee. Getting a drink in the evening was very similar with a single line to one side of the bar, in a four star I want to be able to approach the barman and ask for a drink. There was two sides to the bar but nobody ever enforced the second side being used. Facilities: pools were fantastic but guests reserving sun beds with a towel is a thing. It would be nice to see some rules enforced on this. We often saw people trying to find a bed but no availability. The pool bar is nowhere near the pool, you have to walk through a dining area to get served. The newly renovated room was lovely. The old rooms at the back leave a lot to be desired. The old room has the fridge pulled out, visible wires, furniture not in place showing undusted areas and extremely heavy, dark, dusty curtains. If the hotel was a 3 star, the older rooms would be a lot more forgivable. Staff: Some are more pleasant than others. Very thankful again for the room being sorted, but reception staff was hit and miss. Location: perfect, right next to the beach. But the sun loungers from the hotel do come at a charge (again not very 4 star). There is nicer sunbeds for similar fees along the beach themselves. They all take cash fyi. Entertainment: 1 greek night the whole week we was there. Overall I think because I paid a premium for a week I have been left feeling slightly deflated. The resort is great and I will be back, but not to this hotel. This is definitely not a four star and for the same money, you can find true four star elsewhere. I would rate this much higher if I paid a little less and it came with a 3 star rating. I would recommend it, but on the advice your paying for the location, not the food or facilities galore. I must stress, the rooms are not disgusting and you won't feel dirty, but if your paying a premium you understandably expect more.

A lovely hotel and the staff are fantastic. Yiannis on the pool bar was particularly good. He remembered my drink every time and was always happy to serve. Our housekeeper was amazing, unfortunately I can't remember her name, we were in room 204 she was our regular provider. Always had a smile and ready to help. Poppy on reception was also lovely. All in all a great stay. The beach was bit of a walk away but gorgeous.

Would definitely stay here again without a doubt. The hotel was immaculate, everything was so neatly placed and clean every day. Including our rooms, these were cleaned every day without fail, beds made, floors wiped and bins changed along with new towels every couple. The location was ideal. We walked everywhere without the need for a taxi, Kos town is only a 15 min walk or so with beaches or shops along the way to stop in. There was also a lovely beach where we watched the sunset at, this was left coming out from the hotel. The food at each meal time was different and always had a good variety of meats or sides, some things lacked in quality but overall was not bad at all for all inclusive. The drinks were also decent, different sodas along with beer and wine on tap, the only thing that was lacking was the fruit juice, it was more like water! There is no entertainment, but the evenings had a lovely vibe. The bar was open till late with music playing in the background, and everyone was sat around chatting whilst playing cards which had a really nice atmosphere. WiFi is accessible from the room, restaurant, pool and bar. The rooms were very spacious with a hair dryer, safe and plenty of storage space. The couple of downsides were that the ‘double beds’ were actually 2 single beds pushed together, so not the best when staying as a couple, but I understand why it’s done. Secondly, the shower drains were not the best. Greece is known for lack of drainage, but we had to stop-start the shower every few mins just so we didn’t flood the bathroom. The pool/sunbeds were nice, very clean however the water was very very cold (this may be due to visiting in October though) so we didn’t get much use out of it. It’s not too much of a manic rush for beds, but if you leave it anything past 9:30 you won’t get one, but there is adequate seating still in the sun by the bar. I must say though, if you don’t like cats, this isn’t the place for you. We had visitors at our room, maybe because we were on the ground floor, in the restaurant and by the pool, pretty much the whole complex. Something I certainly didn’t mind! We ate at the hotel all week, but decided to go out for a meal at the end of the week to a place called Istros which is a 5-10 min walk from the hotel towards kos town. Was a beautiful place and the food was absolutely amazing, definitely recommend a visit. Overall, I do not have many complaints. I would definitely recommend this hotel and will be returning.

Kamil Gawlik

Great staff, manager, dining staff, bar etc. except a weird womanish half bald guy on a night shift who don’t care about customers. we had to help explain everything to the newcomers (also as new guests) we took the elderly ladies to the hotel rooms, the guy from the reception would probably have left them on the stairs. He didn't even thank us and was rude. We had to change room after one day that’s why 4 stars on it. Everything with rooms were good. Clean. Hotel recommended

Nad C.

We absolutely loved this hotel, the staff was very friendly and we were super impressed by how many different languages every staff member could speak to accommodate every visitor. Cleaning staff did an immaculate job, the food was very nice and for teatime there was a different them every night. Lots of choice with lots of space indoors and outdoors to dine. Beautiful plants everywhere you look and you are a little bit sheltered from the road outside. Loved the fact that outside there were kittens and cats visiting at food times, which were so cute. The lady at the bar was a true gem, I think she's called Sofia, and she was the sweetest person ever. We were given free bike vouchers for one day so used these to visit Kos by bike, which was lovely. There are beaches all around this place from walks as little as 5 minutes. The only downfall is that the key card also does the electricity in the room, so when we took it with us, the fridge turned off and the milk we bought for brews wasn't good anymore. The aircon seemed to come on at 11am when we mostly weren't in the room but sadly not at nighttime when it was super hot. This hotel mainly had younger people there and there wasn't that much for families, no entertainment etc for kids and we had some trouble with extremely noisy neighbors one night. Overall would definitely recommend and go again.

Nice hotel in a quiet area close to Kos Town. Our room was modern and clean, if a little on the small side (403). The ground floor terraces facing the pool don't have much privacy but we didn't use them so not an issue. Food was great all round, all inclusive bar menu was decent and the beer in the dining hall was nice. We also got a voucher for free bike hire which was valid for the day after arrival. Car park is relatively small but we managed to get a space each evening. The only real downside that comes to mind is that the hotel has no irons or boards at all, so bring your own if needed. There is bus stop around 50 metres from the hotel and reception has the timetable, you can get into Kos town for €1.50 each however the bus was significantly late both times we used it. After checkout, you can use the luggage rooms for your bags and the poolside shower to freshen up if needed. Overall a great hotel and would happily stay here again.

Theodora Christou

The location is perfect with its own beach as well as 2 pools. A bus stops nearby for Kos Town. The rooms are clean. The resort is beautiful. The landscaping is unique, made up of vegetables and herbs used in the kitchen. The food is tasty and fresh. They cater for allergies. It's a true all inclusive, you won't go thirsty or hungry here. There is also a good range of activities. They pay attention to everyone, including their younger guests, it's the happiest children I've seen at a hotel.

Beth

Really lovely holiday - group of 6 adults and one baby. Staff amazingly friendly and can’t do enough for you. Rooms are clean but dated. We did have ants in our room but they work hard to clean these away. The food is amazing really one of the best AI we have done, wifi is not the best so had to get data roaming. The grounds are great with all the fruit and veg growing. We liked the bottom pool as beds were easier to get, good to be so close to the sea. Great snack bar and tasteful slides. Not too kiddie. Would return but would maybe want a room in the main hotel which seem to have been renovated, although the family bungalow worked well for us with a 5 month old baby.

dimitra kiakou

We went there mod August. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were very clean. The food was amazing. The hotel is kids oriented. My little one had an amazing time with a lot of things to do. We will definitely visit again.

Hannah Plant

Beautiful hotel fab staff and good food. I loved the fact that they ate growing fruits and veg throughout the hotel grounds I wish more hotels did this! Also the maids are truly wonderful always said morning and had a smile on their face which was lovely to see! Only thing that let's it down is bathrooms are very dated in main building rooms ours had alot of black mould in. Also the amount of kids running up and down the corridors really early in the morning screaming (this is not the hotels fault)

Martin Ščibran

Advantages of this hotel: + One of the cheapest hotels in Greece + The food is really excellent. Great selection, tasty, fresh. In terms of the diet and food, I would say it is better than some five star hotels we have visited in Rhodes or Crete for example. The same applies to drinking, even the possibility to take a bottle to the beach, refill water bottles in the room, excellent drinks were made by Dimitris for example. Food, drink five stars for us. + The cleanliness of the hotel is good, it's not exactly the best, but it's good as far as possible. The room was cleaned every day, although there was a little dust under the beds, where it was difficult to get to, but many people were normal. + Hotel staff, reception, cleaners, animators, kitchen, gardeners, bartenders, lifeguard, all very nice and polite. + Quieter hotel, no loud music like the hotel next door, suitable mainly for families with children, which was also our case. + Nice surroundings of the hotel, own gardens + The surroundings of the hotel are nice. Disadvantages: - It seems that during our visit in the high season of August 2024 there were more guests than there were sunbeds by the pool. We saw the two arguing.Two Germans were arguing there. The next day, a young German and an older Englishman were arguing next to us, also over a sunbed by the pool. We were sick enough of it, so I found deck chairs next to the water slide that didn't have a sign on them - Not to be occupied, like the others at the other pool, in the city of Kos, we had our own name tags printed and covered in foil and in the morning I ran quickly with towels and use that sign to reserve sunbeds that were not marked as not to be reserved. Unfortunately, the result was that we upset the hotel manager, who then immediately corrected the problem by additionally marking these umbrellas with signs, but unfortunately for the rest of the stay, he looked at us uncomfortably and made it clear with his attitude that he had had enough of us. Therefore, we felt very bad for the remaining days of our vacation and it spoiled the overall experience and impression of this hotel. But now I'm not going to evaluate our personal relationship between the manager and us, but the hotel, so let's put it behind us, but it was a test both for us and for him, and the guests are all sorts of things, all kinds of things happen, but you have to hold on and not tense the situation to multiply. We were supposed to shake hands and take it with a smile, which unfortunately did not happen. Improvements: * I would add YouTube and the Internet to the hotel TV. * Loungers by the pool to add, they are still few and a person did not come on vacation to get up at six in the morning and run to occupy them every day. * I would build another piece of white beach on the hotel property. * Furniture, some drawers are already old, they need to be changed gradually or covered with wallpaper. * I would add colorful LED solar lighting outside. * Upon arrival, fill out a short questionnaire for each guest, which languages ​​they speak and at what level, so that the reception can respond in case of any problems. * Maybe I can make a colorful fountain with music, as I have seen elsewhere. * Build one more small stand - a bar - right on the beach. * Stick the wiper blades under the door I could write about the improvements... I recommend taking shoes, this year the first 10 meters of stones in the sea, then sand. Mosquito repellent and ant house. Overall, apart from a personal problem with the manager, I rate the stay and this hotel well. He's smart, the staff is well trained, but he doesn't frown at guests, even if he's pissed off, he's already quite experienced with this kind of behavior. Sincerely, Martin Scibran and his family from Slovakia

Me and my boyfriend came to the resort, we booked a last minute holiday, don’t listen to the bad reviews everything was perfect!! The entertainment was amazing! Mikey the entertainment guy was absolutely brilliant. The all inclusive food and drinks were spot on! The location was about a 10 min drive from the town they had private hire or shuttle buses easy enough to get into town. Staff were lovely and friendly we got offered a sandwich and water when we arrived as it was about 2am. Towels were clean rooms were clean. The views were amazing. We had a lovely time !!!

Cindy Kaz

Please do not listen to bad reviews about this hotel! It’s an excellent destination with great views,fantastic service and accommodation for a much higher rated hotel. The reception is absolutely amazing with friendly and helpful staff. The manager in the reception area is amazing and tends to anything you may need to make your experience a memorable one. The view is breathtaking and you see the endless crystal clear blue waters as far as the eye can see. A wonderful holiday experience!

Courtney Payne

Myself and my partner have just come back from a week here, honestly ignore the reviews. The hotel was clean, well kept and the views were stunning. We had a king size bed, a patio area and stunning views of the Aegean/ Turkey. The food was as expected for an all inclusive. They have a microwave you can use if it’s not hot to your standard, but me and my boyfriend didn’t even use it. The bar had lots of variety, and the pool areas and water park were fab. We ate in the restaurant above the buffet restaurant on Italian night and it was fab! We used the shuttle bus a few times, and where it drops you off is a literal 15 min walk to the main strip, which is so good. Only bad point was that any activities I had booked with a ‘hotel pick up/drop off’ didn’t actually pick us up from the hotel, but taxis are easy to book with the receptionists. Also to any one going, I strongly recommend the 3 island boat tours, me and my partner had such a good day!!!

Ethan H

Overall had a fantastic stay here for 10days. The location was beautiful with a regular shuttle bus into town throughout the day. Those reviews saying it’s walkable into town are completely out of their minds. Unless you’re a champion athlete or one of those lunatics that enjoy hiking in 25+° weather. Our rooms were lovely and well equipped. Despite hearing things from other guests saying there was AC hanging off wall, dirty etc. wasn’t the case for us. you are warned about the ants so you can’t complain if you leave food open in the rooms. Pool area was clean also and cleaned daily, despite what other reviews say this shouldn’t put you off. On a few occasions our rooms were left open, either front door, terrace or both by the cleaners. Which I should add was cleaned daily and to a high standard. So use the safe to be on the safe side. Hopefully it was an isolated incident. Entertainment was great, especially if you have kids it’s definitely the place for you. Mikey the entertainer was brilliant throughout. Day entertainment is good to watch or join in with,aqua aerobics, waterpolo, darts and beer pong. The food wasn’t the best however there was always something you could have, chicken on one of the days looked a little underdone but there was plenty else to choose from and a decent size kids selection Saw 1 argument turned headbutt one night between guests. which was quickly resolved by staff and didn’t interrupt any entertainment. However on our last day, shouting and punches were thrown between kitchen staff, in view of main pool and children, not very professional. Staff was nice on a whole, bar staff and reception staff especially. Kitchen staffs mouths must be sewn together due to inability to crack a smile. Manager was lovely though. I would return back.

Leah Banks

The room was clean and was right around a pool which was ideal and there in a number of pools to choose from. The man working on the main bar was lovely. Yes it is out the way however during the day there is a shuttle until 3pm. And after then taxis are €10 each way (the longest we waited was 30 mins) The food was okay the first few days but then seemed like stuff was being reused however we could find something each meal time but shouldn’t be having to “make do” on a holiday you’ve paid for. Very much felt like as we were the last week we were just made to make do especially the last few days (we weren’t aware of this as when we booked dates after ours were available and some people have had to move hotels for the rest there holiday) on the last night (only informed 24 hours before) the hotel closed at 6pm meaning those of us getting collected after (we weren’t collected until after 8pm and there was a number of us in the same situation ) were left sat in the dark! We had sandwiches made up but not what we’ve paid for at an all inclusive especially when we paid for Friday and didn’t arrive until early hours Saturday morning (bar and main restaurant closed) yet numerous members of staff around. Felt really unwelcome as they were all sat round watching waiting for us to leave (so no excuse to leave us how they did with no bar as staff were around as well). But can’t understand the thought behind leaving your paying guests sat in the dark. Sadly the managers attitude is also quiet poor and heard she’d lied to people who’d had bad experience s earlier in the week being able to move to a different hotel getting them to turn up for a transfer the next day all packed and then turning them away! Even heard an elderly lady got pushed! Sadly the last couple of days really let them down as would have been a 4 star review otherwise as loads of pools and the room was more the okay however the food started to go downhill and the last day was awful. It’s a shame as it has the potential to be a lovely hotel.

NICOLA BELL

Just had a great week here with my grandchildren and 4 adults. The hotel was so clean, food great with loads of variety and children catered for. Hotel was fully booked but it never felt like there were too many people and no problem getting a sun lounger at either pool or the beach. Had a trip into kos town which is beautiful, bus stop 5 minutes walk from the hotel and cost 20 euros for 6 of us. Lovely mix of nationalities and lots of friendly chats in the hotel. Entertainment team are so very friendly and the aqua gym each morning was great. All inclusive drinks are everything we needed and the constant supply of ice cream for the children was amazing. The sun rises and sunsets are also beautiful 😍 Would recommend for a great family holiday .

Natalie Glover

This is not a 4 star hotel, 3 would be a more suitable rating. We came end of season and there was a lack of effort by a lot of staff. Room air-conditioning was noisy, the room flooded if you have a shower for more than 45 seconds and the safe was locked when we arrived. All issues were reported but aside from the safe nothing was done. The gym had broken equipment. This was reported but looking back at reviews the same issues were true back in Sept. The location just about made up for the hotel. Gorgeous beach for miles, sun is glorious. Oh and the pools are freezing cold 🥶

Kacper Kostecki

Very nice hotel, people working there were very nice and friendly. There were not many attractions nearby, but there was not really any need for them, because every night there was some event happening at the hotel at one bar. If you didn't want to participate you could go to the second bar near the beach which was really quite and nice to talk.

Scott duffield

Simple clean and friendly service which you'd come to expect from greek hospitality. Feel like it's a star rating too high but couldn't complain although the food was typical all inclusive which towards the end of the 1st week started to get quite repetitive and in some instances was quiet poor (over done) The choice, however, of fruit, puddings and fresh continental selections was good. 2 pools one near the main complex and one near to the beach which we preferred and offered a very simple but tasty lunch time menu. The top pool is OK a bit cramped but close to the splash fountains for the kids. Drinks are as expected, weak and none-brand spec, which didn't taste nice but still palatable. Beach had beds and umbrellas, sandy with a bit of shingle but is shallow for a fair way so good for paddling. Location wise there's not a lot to do outside of complex apart from a couple of bars and a cracking restaurant Namaste next door - the best sunsets and food 👌

Dawid J

We spent a week at Smy Princess of Kos Hotel with kids. It was a wonderful time. Hotel area is quite big with 2 pools, kids splash area and hotel private beach. It’s a plus because you won’t feel how many guest are at hotel, some spend time at beach, some at wonderful infinity pool, and some at main pool with kids. Hotel is just like 10-15 min for the airport so that's a big plus if you have kids. The room we stayed in had a great view at sea and we could see a sunset everyday. Room was very clean and neat. Everything worked and there were no problems with AC. Room was cleaned everyday, 1 bottle of water was given to us every day. I recommend taking with you something for mosquitoes, they can be very irritating during nights. Hotel beach is a great place to spend time. Sunbeds are free of charge and it’s rare for Greece. From room to beach we had like 100m. Water is very clean (when there are no waves). Sand is wonderful so kids have a lot of fun. Sunbeds are cleaned everyday, and at any time of day you can find at least a dozen free so you don’t have to get up early. What shocked me was not a lot of people spend their time on the beach. I suppose they prefer pools. Only thing it was missing was a small table for every sun umbrella. Couple steps from beach is infinity pool and beach bar with a buffet. Great food served during lunch time (pizza was top choice for quests), we didn’t even once go to main restaurant for lunch. Infinity pool is great place to relax, cool down from sun and have some swim. Taking a small walk you reach a main restaurant and main pool. Restaurant is ok, AC works all time so its not hot there. Main pool is a place mostly for kids. But adults can also have fun there and enjoy drinks from the bar there. During night animations near main pool, the inside building bar is open but it’s very occupied so i recommend spending time at infinity pool, bar there is open until 11 pm with only few quest enjoying peaceful view near beach. Toilets are small but clean, there was very realy any lines to toilets. Some animations take place during day, mostly at main pool (kids play mostly). At infinity pool you can take part in aqua aerobic. Evening events from what i’ve heard are also great but we preferred spending evenings at infinity pool. During daytime music over pools area is nice but not too loud so you can enjoy peaceful time. Food is very good, everyone will find something. From standard dishes to sea food and greek specials. Most quests stand in line for handmade pizza. Skipping that you will never stand in lines for anything. During lunch and dinner you can have beer, white/red/rose wine from distributors. There are also a lot of sweets, cakes and fruits. Coffee is decent, there are also a variety of juices (from distributors). There’s no bottled water in the hotel. Drinks at bars are good, most are free if you have all inclusive options, more fancy are paid 2-5 euros. They use real cola or sprite for drinks, and whiskey is Johnny Walker red label. In main building near reception you can find a car rental desk, stepping 5 steps outside hotel there’s a “supermarket” with souvenirs, some groceries, sun hats etc. Good prices. Hotel also has its own shop near main pool, also with souvenirs (magnets 1,9 euro, swimming goggles 9-11 euros, keychains around 2-3 euros), some accessories to water, prices are also ok, 6 pack of water was 4,9 euros. Hotel staff is friendly and helpful. But they have a lot of work, even 12h shifts so sometimes they are really tired. They don’t have a lot of time to take a breath. Despite that they are always happy to have a little chat with guests, joke and laugh. So the atmosphere is very good. I can truly recommend Smy Princess Of Kos. Hotel has everything you wish for, it’s hard for me to find something negative. We just had great time, beach is wonderful, evenings at infinity pool bar were relaxing. Sunsets are just spectacular. I could easily spend there 2 weeks. Definitely what to come back there again.

My wife and I have all inclusive holidays 5 or 6 times a year, and have done so since we both retired 10 years ago. Stayed at this hotel in October this year (2024). It has got to be one of the best we have stayed at. The whole place was spotlessly clean, the furniture in the foyer, the rooms, and the poolside was as good as new, and this was the end of the season! The food was perfect. Good choice and well prepared. The staff were very friendly and courteous. The pools were clean and quiet. So many hotels have music blaring away at their pool but not this one. I would definitely recommend it to anyone, and I would definitely go back there.

Amazing Stay at Diana Palace - Highly Recommended! I recently stayed at Diana Palace in Argassi, Zakynthos, and it was an absolutely amazing experience! The hotel is brilliantly located, making it easy to explore the beautiful surroundings of Zakynthos. The staff were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to ensure that our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. One of the highlights of our stay was the evening entertainment – it was top-notch and added so much fun to our nights at the hotel. The food at Diana Palace was another standout feature. There was a wide variety of delicious options, catering to all tastes, and everything we tried was excellent. Overall, I can’t recommend Diana Palace enough. If you’re planning a trip to Zakynthos, this hotel should be at the top of your list!

Family of six of us went in July. The rooms are rather basic and we were disappointed that there was a charge for air-conditioning (10 euros per day per room). Have to say the food was good but with the restaurant air-conditioning turned off it wasn't a pleasant dining experience. Get your drinks from the pool bars is our advice, the member of staff at the reception bar upset both my son's partner and my wife with her attitude, definitely not in the right role as she has no idea how to talk to and treat customers. Over all, a two stars from me, not a place I would recommend unfortunately.

I travel both for business and pleasure several times a year to various destinations around the world. The hotels have been as diverse as the countries they were in, ranging from small family-run inns to huge hotel chains with multiple stars on their facades. However, I've never encountered something quite like this before: such a kind and attentive team. The ladies at the reception desk were extremely competent and helpful from day one until our departure. The service team in the dining area and restaurants was always very attentive and friendly. Like many reviewers before me, I would like to highlight one person in particular, and that is the service manager, Alexandros. I have rarely met such a friendly and professional hotel employee. Alex had a smile on his face and greeted every guest like a friend. He is very attentive and has trained his staff excellently for the job. His friendly manner truly enriched our stay and made it even more enjoyable.

White Olive Elite Laganas offers an excellent stay with top-tier service and amenities. The food is exceptional, offering a variety of delicious options that cater to different tastes. The hotel's overall standard meets the expectations of a 5-star property, providing clean, comfortable rooms and beautiful facilities. A special shout-out goes to Alexandros in the restaurant. He welcomes guests with a warm smile and is always ready to assist, making dining a truly pleasant experience. His friendliness and professionalism truly stand out, enhancing the overall experience at the hotel. Highly recommended for a relaxing and enjoyable holiday!

We were expecting to come for a relaxed stay, unfortunately due to quite some guests, who refused to behave and keep silent in the night time, we were leaving disappointed and tired. In particular, hotel security keeps begging drunk guests to be silent and the drunk guests promise it is their last drink. However this sort of game continues typically for hours, either some other mad guests intervene or the drunk wrongdoers simply pass out. This is a big pity for the hotel, because the personnel is otherwise very nice and friendly, particularly the supervisor of the dining room, who was always doing his best to make the guests fully satisfied. Regarding location, hotel is situated in walking distance from beach. Also quite some bars and restaurants are nearby, including bus stop to Zakynthos town. Regarding the food, we generally liked it, despite of not very wide selection of fresh fruit. An issue worth mentioning was the salty water running from the tap. It was not possible to drink and also washing clothes was very challenging. Concerning the rooms, they were new and modern, with super comfortable beds and small fridge, but sound proofing was very poor. One could hear loud guests from the pool area and from corridor in the night. All in all, if you look for a place to relax, recharge batteries and have no stress, this hotel cannot be recommended. PS: Considering large amount of top reviews from users having only one or just few of them, I suspect that hotel fakes 5 stars reviews to keep the high rating. I believe that the high quality should be maintained otherwise.

I had an amazing stay with my friend at this hotel. Nice rooms, nice pool area and food. Especially thanks to restaurant and pool bar manager Alexandros, who made our stay the absolute best. He was amazing, and one of the most positive, kind and smiling staff, I have ever experienced. All the staff was very kind, but Alexandros was just the best of the best i have ever experienced. I can totally recommend this hotel.

We had a delightful stay. The food was diverse and delicious. The rooms were clean, well-equipped, spacious, and comfortable. All the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The only downside was the distance between the hotel and the beach, particularly since there is no beach bar and you have to buy drinks at the market or bring them with you. Additionally, the hotel provided only one water bottle per stay, which was unexpected as the tap water is not drinkable and other hotels usually provide a new bottle of water daily. However, we opted to refill it at the pool bar without any issue. I also strongly recommend bringing your own sunshade since renting one at the beach costs between 15-50 € per day. On the positive side, at the pool, sunbeds and sunshades are free and plentiful. Both evening programs were also incredibly enjoyable; I would have loved for there to be one every night.
