Paradise Beach Hotel

"Just home from a stay here with my partner and witnessed the rudest behaviour from one of the managers, which means I wouldn't go back. People were still finishing breakfast one morning when this woman stormed out of the poolside snack bar and shouted across the pool area to a poor lady to "put back" some cushions she'd moved from one (unoccupied) sunbed to another. Everyone was looking and the poor guest had to ask her to stop yelling. Despite signs outlining pool etiquette (including not to leave towels on sunbeds) everyone pretty much does what they like at this place. So this poor guest was bewildered and a little tearful and humiliated when I spoke to her later. She had a back complaint so had just wanted a cushion on her sunbed which was in the shade. I've never witnessed such terrible customer service in my life, screaming like a banshee at a paying guest! The hotel is pretty average. It benefits from a beachfront location and the rest of the staff are nice enough. But this woman manager needs a lesson in manners and i wouldn't give the place my money again based on her behaviour."

"We had a lovely stay at the Sunset Villa. The villa was beautiful and just like the photos and has an amazing view of the sea. It is a short taxi ride to Argassi where all the restaurants and bars are, unlike some other villas which are in the middle of nowhere. But you can hire a car if you want to explore further. Harry was a brilliant host and gave us recommendations for restaurants etc… I would definitely recommend!! "

Katerina Palace Hotel

"WARNING You will have to get up at 6am to get a sun bed by the pool Yes floors around pools can be slippery but this flooring is next level around the pool area! - as mentioned numerous times by different customers on trip advisor Tiles are not fit for purpose Multiple falls witnessed around the pool area Apparently have not had any complaints of falls and injuries? Despite seeing this daily Nothing put in place extra as this clearly is an issue as i know this has been brought to their attention numerous times whilst i was there. Katerina staff nor Tui take any accountability for this nor care about peoples safety People seriously hurt themselves whilst i was there one young boy cracked his head open, another broke her spine in 2 places and another lady fell down the stairs and had severe bruising Staff rude and uninviting Paid €70 per room - which was not informed about prior The only good things about this holiday were being close to other things/ food places etc.. and the cleaning staff for our room was good"

"Positives are the location, the balcony size and view, room size and direct access into the sea. You enter the reception area and think wow, then you go to your accommodation... Rooms are tired, run down and rather grubby. Not sure the bathroom has ever seen bleach, lots and lots of mould in the shower, toilet pipe is gaffa taped on, toilet has an orange ring in the water constantly, never goes away. Black scum in the sink. No fan in the bathroom and a window that does not stay open, we used an egg cup to prop it open to get rid of the steam. You have to ask for clean towels. We had a two bedroom apartment, the second room is two sofa beds, these do not pull out, it is just a sheet on the seat area, the sheets were changed once in two weeks. The cleaners are lovely, a mother and daughter (yes just two people for the whole hotel), but they can only clean with what they are given, which appeared to be very limited supplies. The kitchen is "fully equipped", I have never seen rust on a spoon before. Breakfast is served in the sister hotel, just two minutes away, however, if you are under 5ft tall you cannot see or reach into the serving dishes, they are high on a bar top, you are given bistro tables for four to sit at and side plates, really isn't worth the effort, especially considering it closes at 9:30am sharp. Great bakery over the road so one visit to breakfast was enough. The pool area on first look is lovely, strange that the bridge and diving board are closed off but hey I cant dive. Closer inspection shows broken and cracked tiles, black grime in the filtration section, filtration sections has areas missing, steps into the pool have a broken top step, reported it on the 3rd day, still broken when we left. The main handle into the pool is wobbly, pool entrance is full of inflatables, you cant get in for those and un-attended toddlers. The deep area is DEEP, there is no life guard. The pool is open to non residents and they arrive before 7am to secure the best sunbeds. Also pool opens at 10am and closes at 6pm sharp, no leeway during heatwaves. I am aware of the moan here, I have never written a review like this before and it saddens me, but this hotel has so much potential, it just needs a lot of money spent on it to bring it up to spec, it is not a 4 star hotel, a 2 at most, but it could be 4 star with a little investment."

"We had the swiftest check in ever? just handed passports over and were given our room keys, the night receptionist not particularly cheerful but first impressions of the hotel were favorable? Our room was fine though had requested high floor we had 1st floor side sea and pool view which turned out to be ok but for horrendous corridor noise on our first night, as stated also walls quite thin? We had a comfortable bed and everything was kept very clean and fresh towels regularly, I paid for air con which was very good, as stated TV ancient. The over bath shower was a challenge, we are nearly 70 with some mobility issues and it was quite unsafe. Just a grab rail would have made all the difference? The breakfast we tried twice and was ok but we just hate the getting up and down for things and the coffee was not to our taste? I have to say though the dining area and the staff were lovely, most people would find something to eat. The pool bar and the food on offer there was very good, the young chap who had a new baby girl who served there was really lovely and super friendly. The location was superb and the grounds and views were really something. We found the indoor bar and lounges a little sorry to be honest, always empty? Great to be at the edge of the resort as despite a really busy road was peaceful and bars etc were mostly a little up the road, some superb tavernas close by and in the resort. On our last day we were unable to keep the room on but were offered another for 50 euro which was absolultley awful ! it was on the road directly opposite a busy bar, clearly an older room with old fashioned air con which was pretty useless! not able to open balcony door or curtains as like a fish bowl! We were a sweaty mess trying to get ready for our 6pm pick up. We tend to agree not really a 4* hotel until a few things are rectified but once we settled in we had a really lovely holiday and would stay there again."

Meridien Beach Hotel

"The hotel is situated in the centre of the town and has steps down to the sea so very central. Having read previous reviews I was not expecting much. We had a wonderful stay. The beds were comfy with toppers on. We paid for the air con, the rooms were basic but very clean and had everything we needed. Small kitchenette with kettle, 2 ring hob, sink and fridge with freezer. The pool was clean and yes you do need to get up and put a towel on a sun lounger but that is the same for all hotels on holiday. Spaces after lunch if you can’t get up early. All new and umbrellas were too. 20 metres away steps lead to the sea. Not crystal clear but very warm. Snack bar great with a small selection of ice creams drinks and cocktails, serving lunch and breakfast. Staff very helpful. A food shop next door open late for everything and great for bottled water and groceries on arrival, stays open very late. Restaurants open late too which is great when we didn’t arrive until late. Lots of restaurants and shops, really good choice. We hired a car for 3 days and explored the island. Everyone so lovely. Highly recommend, great value."
