Ariadnes Holiday Accommodation

Clara Resort

"1 star is for the view! We booked a 1 bedroom apartment for 4. On arrival late at night we were told they were fully booked and gave us - 1 very tired damp grubby bedroom to sleep in. ( see photos snail on door) due to damp. Accommodation with a kitchen is our preferred choice of travel. In the morning a very simple breakfast was offered to us whilst the manager claimed that RCI had over booked and there were no 1 bedroom apartments in the hotel that they were studios and he would try to find us one. He did! We have stayed in many RCI ‘ tired’ properties but this one should be condemned. The radiators in all rooms have been removed and pipes cut off about 30cm above the floor. The space in à ‘studio’ does not give enough room to walk past the bed if someone is cooking/washing up. The cooker had to be repaired when we were put into the studio as it did not work. It was so cold ( first week of October) that everyone asked for extra blankets and they ran out. It is evident ( see photos) that what they have done is close off the separate bedroom, install à ‘kitchen’ and fence off half of the patio/balcony so that the space can be let to 2 separate couples! The only problem with this is that our son was joining us and the ‘studio’ did not have enough room to put a sofa. We had booked for sleeping 4 people). Having lived in Africa and experienced basic - this is the only shower I have got into and felt dirty when I came out. The only good thing was the hot water. I could continue but I believe the photos say it all. We contacted RCI and explained, they reported it to the Area manager. Needless to say we checked out and booked accommodation on the other side of the island and I washed my hair for the first time in 4 days. Put simply this property from the photos looks great but reality is quite shocking. Don’t book it - you will have wasted a valuable weeks holiday and a lot of money."

Kalloni Village Apartments

"The hotel We went to this small village with our two daughters. The gardens are beautifully kept, very green, with flowers and palm trees. The houses have nice facades and overall well kept. We loved that although you need to share the pool with the guests next door, it was not really busy, sometimes it felt like you had a private pool. They give the pool good maintenance, I saw that they would also check the quality of the water. The house is indeed a bit outdated, but this adds charm to the place. They clean the house daily (except Sundays) and you can ask for clean towels. The staff was always polite and friendly. There is no supermarket in the premises, but the town is a mere 5 minutes by car where you can get all you need. There is a small kitchen well equipped, although the prices of the food are really affordable everywhere. There is also a small beach, close by, walking distance. I read that someone mentioned, murky water, but that is not true. The beach is clean and the water is not dirty, it just has water plants. You can easily go there for a swim. The restaurant The restaurant's food was delicious, I have to say that during our stay in the island the best meals (dinner) were at the hotel. I would recommend the sea bass and the Tigania. The waiter, Nicolas was really very friendly and his recommendations were always right. Breakfast was ok, eggs (hard boiled, fried and scrambled), sausages, ham, feta cheese, yoghurt with jams and cereal. They also had different kinds of bread and home made quiches (which were actually very tasty). The fruit, melon and watermelon. There is also a coffee machine, apple juice and some kind of lemonade, no fresh juices. There was enough choice for everyone. I only missed, (maybe in the weekend) something different for the kids, like fresh pancakes. The Greek night was a lot of fun, the ambiance, music and the show were great. Even the staff was dancing. I would definitely recommend it. The side of the pool is nicely decorated, make sure to reserve a spot on time. The location You do need a car to visit the rest of the island, there is no hotel entertainment, but we already knew that and we really didn't mind, some days we stayed by the pool in the hotel, other days we went exploring the near by towns with our rental car. Lovely island, everyone is friendly, the lounge chairs and umbrellas at the different beaches are always free of charge, you just need to order a drink by the restaurants. And the food is also really good. Cons, The beds are hard, it is already mentioned by other reviews. My husband had more trouble than me on this. The pillows were lumpy, if you are fuzzy about pillows, bring your own. Trash cans were almost broken and the washing machine had mold. My daughters forgot her cuddly toy, it was unfortunately not found... Despite this we really like the place and if we ever decide to go back to Lesbos we will definitely go back to this hotel. "

Eleia Seafront Rooms & Villas

"These villas were perfect, so comfortable and clean. The views out to sea were beautiful. It was idyllic watching the sunrise from the balcony and toasting the end of the day as the sun went down. Our host was incredible and we loved the welcome AND leaving gifts. She answered all our questions immediately and was very attentive and helpful and full of useful information about the locality. We absolutely loved our stay and would highly recommend the villas."

Aphrodite Beach Hotel

"We wanted to come to this facility we stayed 20 years ago to make nostalgia and drink our morning coffee here. We found it very different, advanced. However, we loved it more. When we paid overall 1,20/1, 50/2,00 Euro, here we paid 2.80 Euro for small coffee, 3.80 Euro for big coffee. There is a great difference for Greece. Greece is expensive. 😊"

Eressian Hotel & Hammam Spa

"Exzellent experience! The place is amazing and the staff is very attentive."

Aklidi Hotel

Blue Sea Hotel

"Best location of island and friendlly stuff"

Panorama Hotel

"This was our third stay at this lovely hotel and it's honestly just as beautiful. I asked for a room in a specific area and that is exactly where we were put . It is spotlessly clean and the family that run it are always really friendly, I love looking around the gardens and seeing what is growing next door. Breakfast is simple but perfect ( new toasting machine wouldn't hurt ) - always lovely fresh salad and yogurt. The pool area is great, never seemed too busy and always managed to find a sunbed in the shade. It's a short 15 minute walk along the beachside into the town for an evening meal and if you're lucky you can spot little owls at the entrance to the road leading up to the hotel. I really can't fault it here and each time we decide to try somewhere new in Petra we come back here."
