Seaside A Lifestyle Resort All Inclusive

Hotel has different type of rooms. First one we were given was more like a hostel! really basic, old, and uncomfortable. But they changed it for us without a fuss. Unsure why they gave us that room in the first place, to try their luck?! Hotel only gives one room key, which is annoying when you have several people in a room! Reception needs some improvement; a bit warm, and no welcoming smiles and drinks as you'd expect when getting into a 5 star hotel (well, it is supposed to 5 stars, but I'd give it no more than a 4). Hotel pictures show 5 swimming pools, but 3 of them are private to a specific range of rooms, and 1 is for adults only, and so as a family we only had access to 1 pool. That pool is small and not suitable for swimming lengths, just for playing in the water. But was next to lunch place which is good for kids. Beach is a public beach. Not maintained. Wear a water shoe if you can to handle the slippery (and sometimes sharp) stones. Views of the sea from hotel are gorgeous. Room was good, two levels, two good aircons, two balconies, nice views of the sea, tea/coffee, safe, etc. Bar and restaurant staff were very friendly and very hard working. Food was generally good and of a great variety. Gym is ok, but small for the size of the hotel and doesn't have a good view, and not air conditioned. Only desperate ceiling fans. Saw kids using the gym equipment, which was dangerous to them, and annoying to others.

The hotel grounds are very well maintained. This is a beautiful hotel! We recommend getting a room with a view of the sea. The food at the buffet is good, though I wish it opened sooner (if you leave for an excursion before 8am you don't get a real breakfast). Drinks were great also, although they start charging for drinks after 11pm.

Like some others we also did not vet the room which was on expedia page and which we at least thought we booked. We changed on 2nd day.

Absolutely disappointing experience: 1. What they advertised as 2 bedroom apartment turned out to be split level studio. We had to buy another room for my mother. The beds were just very old collapsible chairs, something you would not expect in the 5 star hotel. After several complaints we were given an old single bed, after more complaints they brought us two collapsible beds with bigger mattresses but they were soooo full of dust that my children ended up sniffing all the time! The furniture is incredibly old and dirty. 2. When we booked the hotel with the name 'sea side' we expected to be near the sea, but the sea is far away, as you are at the very top of the cliff and the way to the beach is long and very steep under the hot sun without any shade. 3. They are advertised as family friendly, but the families with children are highly discriminated: we were not allowed (in the rude manner) to the pool and bars, the only children's pool was high in the mountains and part of the sports pool, where water sports were played and it was very dangerous there. 4. The cleaners are totally untrained they are shouting all the time. 6. The only thing which we liked about our stay was very beautiful view.... PS the cars and motorcycles are going all the time at the territory.

We arrived around 9pm and were offered a late meal in the restaurant. Staff were friendly on checkout, I think maybe as a result of several emails we'd sent advising our holiday was for a birthday celebration. We were shown to room 355, with its own pool and on two levels. We'd booked a supreme sea view with own pool so we were happy. We got slippers and dressing gowns,but these were old and not very fluffy. As in previous reviews, the furniture and paintwork is tired, but the necessities are all there and we arrived to a bottle of wine and bowl of fruit in our room which we thought was a nice touch. The bedding was fresh and very clean, but only one UK TV station - news 24. The food was very varied, and we both found plenty to eat (we're both fussy eaters!) The private pool was a very good size, and we spent a majority of our time in it. The staff try very hard to make your holiday, from the room cleaners to waiting staff, everyone is friendly and smiley. Sadly definitely not a five star hotel as per UK standards, but well worth visiting.

Having read some of the reviews before I travelled, I was slightly concerned about my holiday. We travelled as a party of four ladies, my mum, aunt, teenage daughter and myself. From the moment we arrived, we were treated fantastically. The reception staff are the most helpful friendly people I have ever come across, the four of us are very well travelled throughout the world and we all agreed that this hotel have got it right. The room was spotless, cleaned everyday by a lovely maid. The pool bar was great, our thanks to Alexander, she really made our holiday. The grill staff were brilliant, as were Alex and Maria in the taverna. The maitre'd in the main restaurant was most helpful and a great host, the food was plentiful and varied. As in all countries I have visited, I made the effort to speak in the local language, just the basics, hello, please, thank you.... This is greatly appreciated by the locals, who then go out of their way to befriend you and help you learn. I would definitely recommend this to all and will consider returning, even though I never go to the same place twice. Thank you all at the Seaside Resort and Spa, we had a fabulous time.

Don't judge a book by its cover. The reception is nice but the rest is just disappointing. Don't trust the number of stars.of this hotel. 1) This is not all inclusive as they claim to say. No daily refreshments in the room not even a fresh bottle of water. That's just unacceptable for a 5* all inclusive considering my wife was pregnant and we have a young kid. We asked for an extra bottle and the only answer they had: "Not in the policy". 2) The rooms are outdated and dirty. The cleaning was not done everyday. 3) The staff who is supposed to help doesn't take any responsibilities when they make a mistake. Impossible to talk to the manager to complain. 4) The wifi was not working half of our holidays. Some can say it's useless during holiday but when you need it to work, it's really annoying. 5) The food that was supposed to be cook and hot, was mist of the time cold. 6) For non smokers like us, people can smoke everywhere in this hotel. Next to your table when you eat. Next to your swimming pool seat when your rest. This is disgusting. Supposing it's a 5*, it's the worst 5* I've ever been. To avoid.

The hotel had excellent accommodation. The food was unfortunately rather repetitive and boring (it was an all inclusive deal)

This holiday resort is beautifully located overlooking a bay on the coast near Agia Pelagia, and is a modern and well-equipped establishment. The rooms are very comfortable, with those overlooking the sea benefitting from a terrace or balcony. This is an ‘all-in’ package, and there is a large self-service restaurant with plenty of choice and at least a couple of specialist restaurants. The food was acceptable, but not exciting. The location is a bit remote, so it is difficult to get to and from the resort independently unless you have a car, and resort signage is not the most helpful. We noted a couple of specific problems, the worst being the noise pollution from the twin resort across the other side of the bay, which pumps out music and DJ ‘chatter’ during the day and all evening at sound levels which would clearly be illegal in the UK. In addition the wi-fi coverage was intermittent and frustratingly weak throughout the resort. In short, a lovely location and potentially a great place for an all-in sun-worshipping holiday stay (if that’s what you’re looking for) but much room for improvement, and they really need to sort out the noise problem and the wi-fi.

Our whole experience was satisfying. The staff are friendly. The food was good and worth it if you take the all inclusive. They need to have some indoor pools specially in Oct end when it gets quite windy.
