Porto Demo Hotel

The views!The very friendly staff! The pool! The room on the top!

The smell of sewage in some places.

The Porto Demo hotel is a beautiful hotel with amazing facilities, ( if/ when they were available), and great potential. The location was perfect for a quiet and peaceful holiday with a handfuls of bars and restaurants just a couple of minutes walk away. There were several small supermarkets and a couple of tourist beach shops just outside of the hotel. The catering at the hotel was amazing, the food was presented nicely and there was a lot of choice for all meals. The staff on site, we’re very friendly and the bar staff in particular went over and above some nights for us as they could see our frustration.

The entire trip was extremely marred by the fact that we had power outages continually throughout our stay. This meant that we missed out on entertainment evenings, we missed out on drinks as a part of the all-inclusive package, (machines not working),and caused personal injury while trying to do the hotels job for them, fetching our own drinks from a different area of the hotel to take up to the bar just to have some alcohol added one day when one area of the hotel had power, and the other did not. The Wi-Fi was unusable due to the constant power cuts, not that it was useable from our room anyway. We did not have running water available in our room for about 5 hours on one day. We were not warned that even with the all-inclusive package, we would have to pay for drinks at the bar after 10:45pm. Our first night at the hotel was without any air conditioning because of power cuts. It was not possible to sleep in these conditions. We had to spend a lot of money just to be able to get drinks from offsite, as the bar was always unavailable. We would not have had to spend this money if we had power and access to the bar like we had paid for. If you want to use a gym on holiday, this isnt the place for you. The gym has 2 properly functioning machines, and they still leave plenty to be desired, if you could even use the gym without lights or air conditioning. During powercuts, emergency lighting is kept on in the rooms and cannot be switched off if you go to sleep. I was made aware of this when i was woken up by a really bright light in the middle of one of the nights. This was not at all pleasant. If you want space, dont book the balcony-view room. The bathrooms are so small the door opens and physically hits the toilet. The showerhead seriously needs descaling. The cleanliness of the room also left plenty to be desired. Dust, hairs, sand, small bits of debris... when we first walked through the door! Not at all acceptable.

I liked that the hotel was at Agios Georgios, because it is a beautiful location. Most of the staff were friendly, especially Antonio from the dining area who always smiled and said hi whenever he saw us. Hotel manager was also very friendly. There was entertainment at the bar (dances, live music and traditional greek dancing) that lasted till about 12-1am. Stunning views from the bar and dining area. Food was ok, sometimes we missed better selection of fresh salads or fish, but there was always somethibg to choose from, we never left the plaxe hungry.

We didn't like the cleanliness of our room, because since the moment we entered room seemed cleaned poorly. Also there were not enough towels for three people. The shower seemed confusing, because at first we thought there is no hot water, but later we figured out that you need to turn it to the left and wait a bit until warm water starts running. Also the hotel itself lacked cleanliness (dirty floor most of the times). Lots of stairs, also it can get very slippery when it's raining, so we needed to be very careful not to fall with all our luggage. There should be an elevator in this hotel. Also our room had just one key (no spare), so we were told by the cleaning ladies that if we want room to be cleaned and towels changed daily we should leave the key at the reception every time we leave the hotel, which seemed unacceptable to us. For this reason we had towels changed just twice during our stay. Another not pleasant thing is plastic cups and poor selection of drinks that are very low quality. Coffee poured from the coffee machine. Also air conditioner was leaking, so we had to put bin underneath just to make the room cooler. Mosquitos at night were also annoying and they bit us so much. I personslly haven't seen mosquitos like that (still have red dots a week after holiday is over). Too bad because we came here to celebrate our mom's birthday and to pamper ourselves a bit (first holiday together), but these small things made it not very enjoyable.

Only barman at the pool was fantastic. Nice view from pool area.

Very dirty. No staff to clean.Some rooms never clean for frw days Not enought sunbesds at the pool, people fighting to get one. No shower gel or soap in bathroom. Empty fridge in the room, not even water. Terrible management.

Dirty rooms,not organised management, waited way over time for our rooms,reception wasn't very nice and helpful, every juice was very diluted with water,the rooms had a weird sueded smell from the sink. No bottles of water,no shower gel. Very poor choice of food was very repetitive. The rooms had ants, there was very limited tanning beds, and had to go reserve them with a towel at 7am if we wanted one.
