A taste of luxury without the luxury price tag

I was very impressed with my stay. The facilities (hotel, gym & spa) were exceptional & there was plenty of variety at breakfast and lunch (i didn’t sample the food options in the evening). The staff were very friendly & couldn't be more helpful. The pool was always clean but despite the pictures on the website it's difficult to do full lengths & is more of a cool down type of pool. There is frequent themed nights & whilst I was there there was traditional Greek dancing & singers on. The only thing I could fault was the mattress was very hard so took me a few nights to get used to it & get a good night's sleep. I also used the voucher for the a la carte restaurant within the hotel called Elia. The 6 course meal was absolute perfection & the menu contained some of the best food I have ever eaten so you must visit there if you stay. Very luxurious, well worth the money.

The private pool in our room was phenomenal, yet the towel services for the resort were obscure. Also, the large resort pool chairs were always “held” by patrons who never removed their towels which was frustrating as someone who came in after them.

Das Hotel ist im gesamten sehr sauber. Das Essen ist abwechslungsreich, es kommt keine lange weile auf. Verbesserungsfähig ist die Zimmerreinigung. Im Bad wird nicht mal der Duschvorleger hoch genommen wenn man ihn liegen lässt. Wenn Kosmetiktücher alle, dann alle. Dabei wäre es ein leichtes diese nachzufüllen. Aber das sind wirklich Kleinigkeiten. Ansonsten war es ein sehr schöner Aufenthalt.

Auf Grund der hervorragenden Bewertungen haben wir uns für dieses Hotel entschieden. Leider muss ich sagen, dass ich diese hohen Bewertungen nicht nachvoll ziehen kann. Das Personal war teilweise sehr unfreundlich vor allem bei unserer Ankunft am Hotel. Wir haben nur eine Zimmerkarte erhalten für ein Zweibettzimmer, keine Erklärungen nur die Zettel die sollten wir lesen. Absolut nicht akzeptabel für ein 5* Hotel. Unsere Ankunft war gegen 21 Uhr 15 und da haben wir schon kein Essen mehr bekommen, trott All Inklusive Hotel. Stattdessen wurden uns zwei latschige Sandwichbrötchen mir Chips aufs Zimmer gelegt. Das Essen war teilweise eine Zumutung vor allem das Fleisch, sehr trocken und nicht warm. Die All Inklusive Cocktails werden alle mit minderwertigen Alkoholen und Säften zubereitet, so dass man nach einigen Cocktails sowieso freiwillig darauf verzichtet. Im Allgemeinen waren wir also sehr enttäuscht vom Standard in diesem Hotel und würden auch nicht wieder dorthin gehen.
