Portes Lithos

OK so I'm giving it 4 stars, we enjoyed our stay and i will list positives and negatives. Positives Food good, nice variety ambient evening dinners Swim up pool room was great Pool areas great Look and feel is modern contemporary and easy on the eye Right on the beach Great water sports situated within hotel grounds Maria, vladka, and Stella were AMAZING as we're the majority of staff. Overall, vibe, chilled, relaxed with beautiful sunset views from the roof area, pool abd beach areas. Negatives, It's not anywhere near any shops, restaurants etc, It's situated on a dusty, overgrown service road, that doesn't make for a gentle evening stroll its dusty dirty, runs alongside a motorway , so once your there your in the resort. Plan your excursions and use the hotels Free shuttle to nearby towns The bus KTEL stops at the top by the service road, but is widely known to be sometime ish, as we found out, but cheap to get back from Afytos, but best get taxi there. My husband stepped on a spiky fish on the hotel beach, rendered him out of use, lifeguard was young sympathetic but didn't know what to do, beauty therapist came woth tweezers there were too many too deeply in bedded. Hotel doctor didbt do anything other than get some antibiotics cream. Spines were too vast and deep. It ruined our holiday and apparently all the staff were then saying "yes we get those happening every week". But the hotel has no signs, rep didn't say be careful these poisonous fish are close to shore and are frequent on this coast. Ok so we shouldn't need telling to wear beav shoes, but how many of us do?. If I were advised that its better because of natural habitation that is local we would of not used the beach until we bought beach shoes. So caution is neded. Even then the rep got us special assistance for the but no word of notice they'll tell other holiday makers. The guy who was restocking our mini bar pretty much didnt all week, we were getting cans and bottles from the bars and sticking it ourselves. The rooms are nice and a good size but the cleaning is a flash wipe around, so other people's hair etc come off the mop. I'm as blonde as can be and the room would be full of swept up dark hair on the corners Larger set youngish waiter whips your playes away literally as your eating, and despite my husband not being able to walk without pain, just told us to go get spoons ourselves when we see there were no spoons on our table as the placing was incomplete and we had desert in front of us. He wasn't friendly, a shame as the others were amazing

Hotel is stunning, we loved the beach front rooms and the food was exceptional. I would recommend All Inclusive as there is nowhere local to walk to, the choices available are extensive and branded drinks, staff go out of their way to be helpful and friendly. Our only reason for 4 and not 5 stars is the entertainment experience, the music in the restaurant was almost spa like and this was repeated throughout the hotel. I understand the need to advertise as a relaxing retreat but it was too slow paced at times. The animation team is one lady, who works hard and was very polite, but just needed a little more ‘energy’, The evening entertainment is very minimal and the lobby bar appeared to be empty by 10.30pm most nights we were there. The pool was beautiful and landscaped, with a choice of sunbeds, as it is beach front there were plenty of options between the beach and pool. Water still a little cold in mid May, but it was our choice to travel at this time.

We had a fantastic time on holiday here as a family of 10. The quality of the food was amazing. We had some special dietary requirements and the chef (Stathis) was incredibly accommodating - he ensured we had a selection of dishes to choose from that were different every night. Giannis was lovely and again really accommodating. Nothing was too much and there was a solution to everything. Panagiotis even gave us his personal HDMI cable to use. We were also upgraded from a sea view room to a loft. The room (house!!) was spacious, clean and comfortable. It had a roof terrace with great views. Glota at guest relations helped us arrange a car seamlessly and was lovely throughout. Overall, a great stay.

Hospitality was excellent, all staff treaded us as a family. I am a diabetic but chef was making food specifically for me as well as deserts. Receptionist and other staff was very friendly and talkative. Evening music and bingo game was interesting.

My special thanks to all the staff within "Portes Lithos Luxury Resort" for making this a very memorable holiday. From my granddaughter aged 3 to the eldest member aged 67, hotel staff and senior managers understood our needs and made special arrangements to fulfil all our requests. Whole family's needs were catered for to a high standard. Thanks from Patel Family

The Chef and his staff were very helpful in attending our needs and they went above their duty to us. The chef catered for our special needs as we were all vegetarian,preplanned our menu with us,great service. Always served us with a smile,even though we kept calling them for one thing another,really patient

The service at this hotel is absolutely outstanding - it cannot be faulted. We were a family of 10 people. Housekeeping, Guest Relations, Waitressing, Chef, Reception, Kids Club, Spa, Management - every single person went above and beyond, always with a smile, to ensure that our holiday was the best it could be. Special shout-out to Head Chef Sthathis for catering to our demanding dietary requirements, Giannis, Mary and the entire team for being exceptional during every breakfast and dinner, Giota in Guest Relations, Anthis in the Kids Club, and the Hotel Manager Panagiotis! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Thank you, Priya Patel.

Stunning hotel. Service is exceptional, the staff are so friendly and welcoming, nothing is too much trouble. Rooms are great especially the beach front rooms, even have a view of snow topped Mount Olympus! The room is checked and cleaned if needed daily. The hotel is right on the beach so you can either take a dip in the pool or the sea. Food is amazing, such a variety with a selection that covers all nationalities. The desserts look and taste amazing. Can thoroughly recommend and will definitely be back. Thank you, Portes Lithos for an amazing stay 🤩

Just spent a week here and it was great. Beautiful facilities and views, great food and really attentive and friendly staff. The pool is gorgeous and really well-maintained and the sea is so clear and if you’re lucky you can catch a view of Mount Olympus, with snow still on top, while paddling. It’s a great place to just relax and do very little.
