Hotel Aphrodite Beach

On arrival at the hotel on Saturday 2nd May 2015, we were greeted by Yanis who was very friendly and helpful. We asked why was the swimming pool empty. His reply was it was a "Technical problem" this to us was really annoying as we hadn't been informed by Expedia.com or anyone that the pool would be out of use for the whole week. If we had known this, we would not have booked that hotel. We had booked a self catering apartment and expected appropriate facilities. There was just a frying pan and a tiny little pan for boiling water for coffee, a kettle would have been more appropriate. There was no wine opener and insufficient plates. We asked Yanis for a wine opener, which he gave us but it just made a whole in the cork and didn't work, so we went and asked for another one which was much better. We asked for pan of some sort and he said could have that the next day which was fine. We chose to eat at the hotel a few days later and the service by a young girl was poor as was the meal. We couldn't pay with a credit card due to another "Technical problem " If that's the best they can do at the beginning of a season then I dread to think how things would be in the high season. The hotel is in a beautiful place, very clean, gardens are very attractive and well kept and right by the sea. The self catering could be so much better with a little thought from the owners.

Was a bit worried to book, since there weren't any previous reviews. But I took a chance, and was very pleased. So if you are looking for a very relaxing stay, no shopping, no barhopping you come to the right place. The staff was very helpful all the time, the food was very good and sitting by the beach having both lunch and dinner was excellent. No need to look elsewhere for food. I guess this was a bit off season (mid Sept) so most of the time you were alone on the beach. So if you are looking for a very good hotel for a relaxing time this is the place. If not, choose another island

Special thanks to Yiannis who made our stay unforgettable....

We found what we looked for except the beach. Sandy but not near the sea(pebble) and not suitable for babies to play.

Wir hatten hier wunderschöne Ferien kurz vor der Hochsaison. Service im Hotel war gut und das Essen lecker. Da noch wenig los war fiel das Frühstücksbuffet während der ersten Tage unseres Aufenthalts etwas sparsam aus. Die Lage am Meer und die Ruhe sind einfach wunderbar. Wir werden dort sicher nochmal einen Urlaub verbringen.

Sehr freundlicher Inhaber und Mitarbeiter, kostenloses Wlan verfügbar, ordentliche Zimmer wennauch kein Palast - preisentsprechend, würde das Hote definitiv wieder buchen. Super schöner Strand, vielleicht der schönste den wir auf der Insel gefunden habe.

It is right on the beach and our room had a lovely view of the sea and the mountains. The food in the restaurant are all made from fresh ingridiences and is very tasty. The hotel is familly run so you get a very personal and warm service. Vatera on the whole is very nice and relaxing and surprisingly not overrun by tourist.

The Aphrodite hotel has a very good restaurant, a helpful staff, and is just across a road that separates it from the best beach on the Greek island of Lesvos. The hotel provides tables, showers, lawn chairs and beach umbrellas on the beach. My wife and I were there in mid-September when it was fairly quiet and we had Vatera beach pretty much to ourselves. You need a car to drive to Vatera from the airport and to go to some of the other beaches and villages scattered throughout the large island of Lesvos. In mid-September the weather was great and we enjoyed ourselves at the Aphrodite hotel.
