Mövenpick Resort Agios Nikolaos Sivota

"Another memorable stay at Mövenpick Agios Nikolaos Sivota. Although most of the staff were new to the team this year the same high standards of service were in evidence from the front desk staff, the waiting staff, the guys at the Skipper’s Bar, the lifeguards, the cleaning team & the grounds maintenance guys (apologies if I left anyone out). Everyone went the extra mile to ensure we had a fantastic stay, thank you all so much. It always feels like we are coming home each time we stay. Just one item of feedback this time - the minibar. The policy is that the minibar is stocked on arrival, the use of these items is complimentary & any additional items thereafter are chargeable. This is a perfectly acceptable (& indeed welcome) policy however when we stayed in June 25 the minibar was stocked with 2 small bottles of wine, 2 bottles of fruit juice & 2 cokes. By our return visit in September 25, the wine had disappeared (with the excuse when I queried it that it was because it was a family hotel). This year the offering was derisory, consisting of only 3 items -1 coke & 2 bottles of fruit juice. When I queried the paltry selection at the desk my mild complaint was met only with repeated statements that these items were free to me (the inference being I should be happy I got anything at all). In fact that point is arguable in that the pricing structure no doubt incorporates these ‘free’ items. I would suggest that Movenpick review this minibar policy. It would honestly be better not to provide any initial complimentary items rather than the current miserly provision. Rather than being a nice start to the holiday it left us feeling somewhat short-changed. That aside we thoroughly enjoyed our stay & look forward to our next visit."

Hotel Astoria

Costa Smeralda

"We chose a stay at The Costa Smeralda hotel in Syvota(on the mainland of Greece, north of Parga, not in Lefkada as location on this site suggests) having reviewed the location, feedback from other guests and star rating. We drove through beautiful Syvota town down a narrow windy lane arriving at the property. The property is made up of individual blocks of 4 rooms - 2 rooms x on the ground floor and 2 x rooms up a very narrow and steep staircase above. For travellers with mobility issues, this is definitely not a good choice of hotel for this reason and multiple other staircases to other levels of the hotel. The location of the property is good and as per the images. The hotel does have a great vista. However, sadly, it all ends there. Upon arrival we were directed by a member of cleaning staff to a small dirty shack / shed at the car park entrance gate. This was the hotel reception?! Our rooms weren’t ready, but the first check in agent offered to keep our bags and suggested we enjoy some lunch whilst we waited. We descended x3 staircases to a small bar / restaurant for a very basic lunch menu consisting of a Greek salad / cheese and ham toasties / toasted sandwiches & a basic pizza. The lunch was acceptable but nothing special. Along our way down, we noticed poorly covered drains, litter (cigarette butts etc) and a general lack of care and attention. A camouflage covered caravan weirdly sat in one public space. There were boxes and empty bottles piled everywhere. We then proceeded to the pool and, upon further inspection, noticed dirt, hair and debris and a layer of green slime on the tiles. The water appeared quite murky. There wasn’t any way I was going to put the kids in the pool. The loungers all around were all chipped of paint and my daughter’s chair was broken and dangerous. We reviewed the rooms after this and were quite taken aback at how small, pokey and basic they were. The hotel was marketed as a 4 *? They’re furnished to a low standard - perhaps as one might expect from a 2 * property. The furniture was functional but quite old fashioned. It proved very difficult for two people to manoeuvre around one another, never mind with two suitcases. Lugging these up and down a narrow, steep staircase was quite a challenge! The bathroom was no different- small, basic and a little musty / smelly. Otherwise it was clean. We decided after reviewing all this to check out. We spoke to the receptionist - who claimed her name was “Zoe”, the reservations manager. When contacted by *********** a few hours later she admitted to remembering us, told them her name was Celia and she was just a reception agent. This lady (whomever she was) was a quite possibly the rudest member of staff I have ever come across. After stating our reasons for an early checkout, she refused to allow us to leave without full payment for the overnight stay and when we refused because the hotel was in a very bad state and that we’d not even used our rooms, she bec"

Mediterranean Blue

"Had such a good time here at this hotel. I came in from the hospital with my partner and penny the manager spoke to us with complete empathy given us a lovely room because it was more accessible for my partner to get into. The staff too was so lovely and had a good time speaking with them as well as penny. The hotel is beautiful with cute cats too. The milkshakes and pasta was amazing and the service was lovely. There were busy times but it wasn’t a long wait until you could get your order or to speak to someone which was really good. This was my first holiday without parents and penny made me and my partner feel like she was our mum. We had to quickly go when we left our hotel so we couldn’t say goodbye properly but would like to say thank you so much for the stay it was amazing :)."

Elix, Mar-Bella Collection

"Went here with my family and had a really great time. We had an all-inclusive stay for a week. The staff were all super friendly and made us feel welcome from the start. I especially had a great time at the bar in the lounge, where Chestor the bartender was amazing, and Hope and Hercules were excellent waiters they really made everything special. Definitely gonna miss them all. The food was really good too, with plenty of choices and everything tasting great. I must say the drinks were amazing as well. The beach was beautiful, and the pool and view were great. Overall, the whole vibe was just really relaxing. Would definitely come back again!"

Oasis Beach Club

"daughter booked this so I'd no idea it's a party place, dreaded it but to be honest the place was lovely and the owners were very polite and the staff were lovely, got rooms cleaned no problems . Would definitely go again but not in October as I got bitten a lot...... No fault of the place, it's the weather Lots of nice places and beach was nice."

Saint Peter Bay Aparthotel

"The hotel was fantastic with excellent pool and proximity to sea. We stayed in the beach house which had great views. The house its self was basic but clean and comfortable. The air con did a good job at reducing the temperature to provide respite from the heat. The staff were exceptional from initial welcome to organising transfers from airport and to the port. We stayed for 2 night before our onward travels and would highly recommend"
