Reviewed By miranda-t1009

The hotel was lovely and our room was great! All the facilities that were on offer were of a top quality and I felt as though I was staying in a clean and well maintained place. The pool was clean and had a lovely temperature, I also loved having the option of going down to the sea and being by the beds there. Every member of staff was helpful, welcoming, super friendly and very accommodating. A special mention to Mr George who was always checking up on the guests to ensure that everyone was being taken care of and having a good time. The food was to a great quality and there was a good choice too, very yummy! The spa facilities and treatments were delightful. I felt very relaxed staying there and would definitely recommend if you are looking to be having a good time, be taken care of and to wanting to relax!

Just returned from a great week (family of 4- children ages 12 and 10). The quality of All Inclusive is very good, the customer care was exceptional. If you’re going to go, push the boat out and stay in the Euphoric Suite. It is amazing and elevates your stay to another level!!

Nice and calm hotel in Platanias

Reviewed By ghh1629

Traveling as a couple with a small child (2yrs). This hotel was very convenient, it was easy to walk down to breakfast/dinner and the swimming pool as well. We loved the animation team which made our stay with our son so much fun, we attended the aqua gym, kids club and mini disco with him and he enjoyed it very much! The reason we don't give it 5 stars is because the dinner was not so good quality compared to greek food we tried in other restaurants - perhaps something to consider it felt a bit off. We highly recommend making use of the hotel across the street, for the spa and access to the beach, its also included as its part of the same chain. Rented a car and got parking next to the hotel - all in all highly recommended! Ps. If you ask for taxi in the lobby, we highly recommend Mario the taxi driver!

Excellent Hotel

Reviewed By kate a

Stayed here for a week with our 2 children and another family. A really lovely hotel and lovely area. The staff are very friendly, the rooms are immaculately clean and cleaned every day, plus they have air con. The food was very good and always something different to eat. The entertainment started half way thru our holiday and the young lady doing it was lovely, always encouraging the children. This is a small resort so is perfect if you want a quiet holiday as there aren't many people there. We wouldn't hesitate in recommending this hotel to friends. The staff at the pool bar and bar were also lovely. Plenty of sun loungers around the pool. There are no umbrellas but 1 side of the pool is always shaded so you can get away from the sun if you want. Just means your husband might be in the shade at the other side of the pool while your in the sun. Some might not complain. We have nothing bad to say about this place.

From the moment we were welcomed by the lovely Effie until the moment we left we were made to feel welcome, all the staff are so smiley it instantly puts you at ease. The suites are modern ‘very’ clean and comfortable. Located up a slight hill between the lively strip and some excellent restaurant at the top.

Rooms are decent,food…5/10 ,drinks 5/10, The facilities are ok ,personal trying to help you as much as they can,activities for children good,but the fact that you can drink certain drinks on certain hours it’s not very good and that you need to pay for some (like coffee)it’s not very good.
