I wasn't very lucky with mosquitos, was bitten few times every night then I went to the town to buy some protection.

Upon returning home what ever the stomach bug is I passed to my partner who was not on the holiday with us , after only spending a day with him .

but only bitten once in the 10 days we were there.

We had a tummy bug last 4 days of our 7 day holiday.

however we did bring all our bug repellent and only got bitten a few times, this did not ruin our holiday it’s just something that happens anywhere you go.

Take bug spray, and plug ins for the room and you’ll have no issues.

Mosquitoes - some people seemed to get bitten alive.

Lots of bugs entering the room no replant or pest control.

The food selection was poor most nights and the hotel has a problem with flies, they were often crawling all over the food and the tables.

The food at this hotel is the worst I have had anywhere and there are flies constantly crawling over it all.

The room was ok, nothing else to say, except we had a dead cockroach which sat on the floor for 3 days.

but our whole experience and many others like us .. have been bitten to hell by mosquitos.

There was also a sash door so you could leave the door open while keeping the bugs out.

We found Avon skin so soft spray in the swap shop which did seem to help, which we gave to Harry the head rep as he was being bitten alive poor lad.

Take bug repellent, there are loads of mosquitos!

well I had a stomach bug and that was probably due to warm food standing around for too long, flies landed all over salads,cheese and bread anything uncovered.

CONS - Hotel was packed due to school holidays and there were very few (if any) loungers to be found after 10am so you have to get up early to reserve them if you want a spot by the pool.

We missed two summer holidays due to Covid,

The resort had only opened the day before due to the start of the season

They are also only open 9-6 when the lifeguards are there due to local laws, so if you’re wanting a midnight dip, don’t book a swim up room!

Due to Tui cancelling our planned holiday to Tui Blue Lagoon Palace, we opted to book this hotel next door so we could have a much needed break.

I did that and the lady informed me that they can’t do 2 appointments together due to covid and gave me two times if I wanted to book them through the app.

but due too poor quality of food/drinks it is not worthy of this status.

But we knew about it from the beginning and we were not interested in the beach due to my son's broken arm.

Bad was that due to COVID they didn’t have any beverages in the fridge.

Unfortunately due to there being nowhere to sit my husband accidentally while leaning on a shelf knocked a vase on the floor.

but I think this was due to how they were having to work in COVID-19.

Sun beds were available at anytime of the day due to the hotel only been at 65% capacity.

The only negatives are due to COVID which will probably affect all inclusive more than bed and breakfast or self- catering.

Due to pandemic you cannot serve yourself so there is a lot of queuing.

You get to eat and the al cartes on the evening once each bit then whenever you like a lunch time BUT due to covid they want you to book breakfast , lunch and dinner which is frustrating as on holiday you don’t want to be restricted To certain times to eat.

Whilst I understand the hotel is under increased pressure due to COVID measures, the hotel is completely overwhelmed and grossly understaffed.

Anymore than this, and I would say it wouldn’t be worth it due to the drinks not being named, the quality of food and the staff not being overly friendly.

Due to this there was so much food wastage and there was a lot of waiting time to get food as they were hugely understaffed.

Came here due to the other destination we were due to go to was cancelled.

Hotel is very clean and well looked after, most of the staff are very friendly and helpful.

The male and female singers by the lobby were great, really friendly whilst remaining professional.

The staff were very friendly and couldn’t help you more .

Breakfast and dinner in the main restaurant was a free for all - really busy, noisy and not at all relaxing. Staff are rushed off their feet (although very friendly!)

What really makes this hotel is the staff, they are welcoming, friendly and give the best service.

The staff were very friendly round the main pool,

Hotel Staff - brilliant, friendly, helpful staff from desk to cleaners.

but were very disappointed by the food at the Greek taverna in the evening - although I must say the staff at both restaurants were nice and friendly.

The ladies cooking them were always friendly.

Reception staff are friendly, helpful and always had a smile.

Can’t fault any staff here, plenty of them and friendly.

The waitresses in the dining room were very attentive and friendly, special mention to Lemonia and Anna Maria.

They made the whole experience for me feel so welcoming and friendly like one big family.

Waiting staff were so friendly and attentive, always interacting with our toddler and offering us more drinks.

There is so many pools to hangout at & the staff are so friendly.

Staff were approachable and very friendly.

We also found the manager and hostess very friendly.

There were never long queues to get food or drinks.

The later you arrive for food you will find empty trays of food waiting refilling or food that has not been so popular that has gone less warm.

At no point were we left waiting for a drink.

There were never tables ready and queues for tables went out into the reception area.

When going into the restaurants you have to find your own table to sit on and usually end up sitting on a dirty one and waiting for them to  clean up.

If you arrives at the restaurant after 7:00pm there was generally a queue going out into reception

By 11am you could barely get to the pool and the ques at the bar were awful.

That goes for all the staff not just waiting on staff.

The one downside to this was the snack bar, although the food was good and freshly prepared, there was frequently a long queue, the system could be improved by having separate queues for crepes / toasted sandwiches which are freshly prepared and another for ice cream / everything else which is quicker. This was tried by the staff on a couple of occasions we were there

The pool waiter and waitresses we have to say - no issues at all always friendly and a smile…  ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 1/2 at best 

The plaza snack bar - if you are ok to queue up for 45 minutes and then be served by 2 grumpy men then you are in luck- cannot blame them 40 degree heat sweating!

For the on-site restaurants 

The snack bar (only 1) again was way over stretched big queues and minimal choice.

but they need at least 3 people in there (there is usually only 1) and the queue gets so long that more or often than not we never bothered using it.

The longest part is waiting for a golfkart to pick us up and drop us off at the room.

Did not find the queues at dinner a massive issue, had to be lucky and find the right time, and when inside the staff seemed quick enough serving guests.

although you did have to queue to be served at different stations, this is understandable and you do get used to it.

however the queue for this can get bad and my kids did have to queue sometimes for around 45 minutes for this.

We then waited another 45 mins in the queue so all in all we got to our room around 3 hours after arrival.

If a long queue, l would say go & have lunch & sit in the sun & wait a bit.

but we still had to check in at Reception and there are long queues.

The Taverna - I sent my dinner back as it was inedible lamb chops burnt and looked as

The food was good and varied daily with a good choice.

We tried both a la carte restaurants as well.

We had been waiting 3 years for our holiday similar to a lot of other people so was really looking forward to it 
The hotel is clean and the rooms were spacious and well equipped we were lucky to have a swim up room 
Food was ok

The beer was ok, tasted quite watered down

Dinner was okay there was always something I could eat

The food is excellent and especially the desserts are great.

All the staff worked extremely hard to ensure the busy restaurant ran as smoothly as possible.

The local Greek dishes were definitely the best and the breakfast was better than dinner.

We ate at the taverna a couple of lunch times, and even that seemed to be very similar to the evening buffet.

It was also lovely to see Aggelos looking after the main restaurant.

Lunch in the Tavern and Green and Grill was good.

The hotel is clean, the facilities are of a very high standard and the food is great.

Food - the three restaurants offer plenty of variety had no complaints here.

We enjoyed eating at the Green and Grill where you can cook your own food

I won't write a long review about each individual thing we liked., because frankly we liked everything, and to allay any concerns people may have about flies on the food- we didn't see one, the food is varied and of good quality in the main, the staff work exceptionally hard to maintain the hotel and serve guests, the beach is good, sandy after the first couple of metres, watersports good, pools lovely, slight issue with sunbed availability as people put towels out early on

however I do wonder what the alchol strength was, as one day I had about 6 large beers and If that was at home id have been well on my way.

Hotel was very clean nice rooms staff were on the whole nice with a few exceptions , not what you want on holiday !

even though we had one of the 3 restaurants outside our room .

From the ladies who clean the rooms each day and leave them spotless to the TUI team who work non stop to provide support and activities.

We all slept really well and it was very quiet in the room.

The hotel is immaculately clean throughout, both in the rooms and communal areas.

We were taken to our room by the bellboy on a golf cart along with our luggage.

Hotel Room - swim up pool was brilliant, rooms were clean and well equipped.

We were room 4002, the views were amazing.

Rooms were very clean, and had a lovely large balcony.

The room was lovely, very clean and decor tasteful.

The room was huge and super clean as the maids came round everyday to clean it.

Right outside our room as well so ideal for the teenagers to pop and get what they want, when they want.

All the nice musical songs with great costumes and good stories.

Entertainment was a big dissapointment for me, pretty much the same things every night, mostly directed for kids.

Entertainment was pretty good and varied.

The entertainment for the younger kids was fantastic , I found for my 11 year old son not so much more directed for the younger ones .

The evening entertainment in the amphitheatre was fun and enjoyable and catered for all ages.

My 6 and 3 year olds loved Download and the Pirate show.

My girls (aged 6 and 3) went to the kids club several days in the afternoon, from 1.30-3.00, which they absolutely loved.

Entertainment - we cannot comment as our youngest was in bed early every evening and we used our private pool throughout the day.

but not much the hotel can do about that really, the kids loved the clubs and entertainment (Download especially) and really we had a great time.

Following download you'd have a show with either the Tui Blue Team, the resident singer or from outside entertainers.

Evening entertainment 
We all really enjoyed the evening entertainment.

Entertainment was very geared for children and our son loved it.

Great evening entertainment for the children.

The outside theatre were all entertainment is stinks of raw sewage!

Evening entertainment for the kids was decent (for the kids!

The entertainment shows are really funny & they definitely entertain me at night.

Toilet in entertainment area where broken and leaking out - bad smell, water everywhere.

Unfortunately, the outdoor theatre was quite "smelly" some nights, like a sewage smell which was a bit of a deterrent.

Sewage smell around the amphitheatre was really unpleasant and meant that on a couple of evenings we left the entertainment and found somewhere else to have a drink as it was overpowering.

but they were either dirty, had cigarette holes in them OR they didn’t have any!!!

-can’t get a full selection of drinks in the restaurants, beer, wine and soft drinks only
-sewage smell in places around the hotel, tennis courts and outside entertainment in particular
-it is not cheap.

The hotel definitely needs to address that awful smell!

The floor in our room and my daughters room was filthy and cleaners did the bare minimum in cleaning the rest of the room and didn’t change our towels when we requested a change.

For £4,900 we paid from TUI there are far better hotels with decent food n no sewage smells!

Food is fly ridden it is disgusting, I have never been anywhere so bad before in my life!

He had charged me 40 Euros for the vodka when this is only 14 euros online. Disgusting!

but unfortunately there was a smell of drainage but that didn’t ruin our evenings.

It was adequate, luckily not in it much, had a very strong aroma of drains in the room and on the balcony, nauseating at times, did report to reception who addressed it with copious amounts of air freshener being sprayed.

So we are supposed to let our daughter sleep in an ants nest until they can be bothered to help. Disgusting.

.there is hand sanitizer as you enter and you are required to wear gloves and mask whilst you pick your food.

Beach is shingles not sand and full of sea weed and cigarettes not kept clean

but toasties and baguettes are plain and bread is stale.

Only other thing I would mention is that people are allowed to smoke around the pools and at the entertainment stage.. maybe it’s allowed by Greek law

The fizzy drinks from the tap all have a chemically salty smell and taste.

Be mindful of mosquitoes and take your repellent as they r nasty and lots of people walking around with bites.

And the musical singers Hedda, Raquel, Logan and the rest of the team Juliette, Senni and Aron gives you great shows and beautiful solos and harmonies.

The staff was excellent in the restaurants, bars, at the pools and on the beach.

but the staff were all so fun and caring that my nerves soon disappeared.

The new staff are brilliant and there are so many people to mention and inevitably I will have missed some people off,

The snack shack staff were great only down side is it didn’t open until 1200.

She'd always want to be on whatever team Juliette was on and was especially fond of her.

The beach was the main attraction, as it should be.

My kid loves the gluten free spaghettis  from the Taverna on the beach.

There is a beach from the hotel with free sunbeds and umbrellas,

The staff are friendly and their is a variety of food from breakfast and dinner, as well as on site activities and local transport to surrounding areas, plus it’s private beach!

Although the Resort offers a plethora of entertainment services, I would highly recommend renting a car as the local towns and beaches are worth visiting (in particular the beach and local establishments located a short drive away in Nikiti).

Water is usually dirty so i highly recommend one goes to the nice beaches ( as you arrived in Greece though)

Food- mediocre at least.

Beach - very good for small children, as it is shallow, and there was a lot of sea grass; this is the main reason why we did not give 5 stars for the hotel.

Big plus is the frendliness of the staff and the serice, nice pool and calm safe beach area, with nice beach restaurant and very good fooc.

Beach very close by with enough facilities.

For us it was heavenly: the hotel has all the facilities you need: pool, beach bar, minigolf, activities (gym and mini disco).

The beach was clean and had sunbeds - suplementary costs of 4.5€/ 1 umbrella and 2 sunbeds.

Has its own beach with a lovely beach bar close.

PROs: very good AC, in-room fridge, safety deposit box, moskito nets, no lifeguards at the beach, large balconies, nice selection of breads, almond milk, coconut milk, clean surroundings, small shop by the pool, plenty of parking places.

There were plenty of sun beds on the beach which you are charged for.

The beach chairs are paid at the beach bar.

The beach:
So far no complaints here beside that we have to pay.

Drinks in the restaurant were not included in the half board so a waiter took your order, before you opened your mouth you were greeted with "pay by cash or room" - not very friendly, especially when your order took ages to arrive.

Service for drinks was a bit slow in the restaurant

but think they only should do snacks and drinks, they offer a more detailed menu where the food comes from the main hotel, we waited for over an hour and all got our meals seperatly.

The only negatives are that the drinks were a bit pricey and it is located on a quieter stretch of the peninsular, so there wasn't much within walking distance of the resort.

Nearest is in Nikiti which is about 30mins away and you need to walk to Metamorfosi to get a bus so take plenty cash with you as the prices in the hotel are quite expensive for drinks.

For dinner, no complementary drinks are available, you need to purchase water and whatever you drink, forget having a tea or coffee.

lazy management, poor service, and overpriced food and drink because it has a captive audience.

I wouldn't disagree with that (there is a charge for sun loungers on the beach which seemed unnecessary, and if you go half-board you still need to pay for drinks, even non-alcoholic ones),

Beach coffee bar, one waitress serving the whole beach, another at the bar who was miserable, unhelpful and often forgot food drink orders.

- Had to pay extra for bottle of water (any drink) for dinner.

If you order a drink they do not ask you whether you want to put the bill on your room balance and then make a fuss about it. 8.

But at supper time there were no drinks, not even water.

- Dinner does not include beverages or any drinks - you have to pay.

Drinks are not included in the evening meal. 3.

Prices for the drinks at the bars were friendly enough to make you hangout in the complex instead of running away to the nearest taverna.

Staff are very friendly and professional!We had half-board accommodation and the minus points is on same food for breakfast and dinner,  almost every day.

The food is very good and the staff very friendly.

The staff are friendly and seem to enjoy interacting with guests

The room and resort were clean, the food excellent, the staff friendly and helpful, the entertainment in the evening good.

All rooms perfectly organised, very friendly and supportive staff.

Food was amazing, staff were so friendly.

New rooms, clean hotel, friendly staff, funny animation team, child friendly, minigolf, basketball.

++ the renovated part of the hotel is just excellent - everything is new, beautiful, tastefully decorated
++ comfortable bed, spacious room, mosquito nets in the room, big balcony, overall great sleep quality
+ great pool and bar area
+ beautiful garden
+ friendly and helpful staff
+ play area for the kids and fun mini disco every night - my 3year old just loved it
+ beach is near

+/- food is very good and delicicios,

We had a wonderful view, comfortable staying, good, friendly service and a a fine, overloaded dinner.

When we arrived we were promptly greeted by friendly staff.

Very friendly and they saved us food for when we arrived which was lovely.

It's old furniture, it's dark, bathroom is awful, it's a standard room for a two and not four stars hotel.

Furniture was a bit older and you can tell that.

Indeed it is suitable ONLY for familes with kids - the entertaiment is only for them , without traditional night & life music, the furniture of the room is old , the hotel beach is verrrry dirty and narrow , you have to pay 7Euros for the sunbeds , the food was disgusting - too fat .

the small problem was with furniture which was a little too old

Very old furniture and a very unpleasant smell in the room.

I would say the following needs some improvement:
The types of food could be changed more frequently, the sunbeds could be made free of charge for the guests (similar to the ones by the pool), the furniture in the rooms could be updated and the bathrooms to have some type of kids/infants friendly shower space/sink to ease up parents job :).

We (two adults with a 2-year old child) booked a family room which was generally good (no serious complaints), you could see small signs that the furniture has been warn out while the room should be a bit bigger for a "family room".

However the rooms did not satisfy the 4 star category - furniture is old and the bed mattresses were stinky and very very hard!

The mattresses and the pillows was very too firm, uncomfortable, the furniture old and the chair's upholstery stained.

One night we waited 40 minutes for our order to arrive.

However, Service at the pool bar for lunch was unreliable with regular missed or incorrect orders.
