Akamanthea Holiday Village ★★★★

"It's oh so quiet. Having spent the summer recreating my youth (oasis and ibiza) I booked a last minute week to relax stress free in the sun and that's exactly what I got. The hotel rating is fair so it's not perfect but I've paid more for worse. Maybe a few new sunbeds and more choice of fruit for breakfast but nothing that would spoil your stay. Mind only 6 clothes hangers in the wardrobe is a bit light even for a single bloke!! And the fridge is small but fine for me. Apart from that my room was large and the wi-fi great (I was able to stream the England matches no problem the resort doesn't have sports bars). The pool and surrounding area is great (spacious). I didn't move far from it all week and you can be in or out of the sun all day. It was quiet and the breeze from the sea is lovely. I did use the 'secret' path to the beach a couple of times which is only a 5-10 minute walk and not too steep unlike many other island resorts. The beach stretches for miles and is mostly course sand/pebbles. There appears to be free loungers and wi-fi. At least nobody was charging. Great to be in the sea to see the sun setting over the headland at about 19:00. Most nights I made the c30 minute walk to Latchi port. It's quiet there also but there's enough nice restaurants to enjoy, especially if you like fresh seafood dishes. The main road is well lit so I always felt safe walking there and back on the evening but I am rough looking so mostly never worry about that sort of stuff. But there were no street sales people that have become the norm elsewhere so there was never a lot of people about. Again the road isn't too steep. Looks like the area is ripe for development so perhaps it won't be so quiet for long. Whilst I was just looking to relax in the sun you could easily use the hotel as a base to travel to local attractions via hire car or boat trips. There are plenty of parking spaces at the hotel and they drive on the left if you're nervous about driving abroad. Finally the staff were lovely. Always there if you needed them but very low profile. My room was cleaned everyday apart from Sunday. I was also very grateful for being allowed to extend by check out until my 21:00 transfer to the airport for free!!! Fabulous gesture that I'd normally expect to pay for but highlights how lovely and helpful the staff were. In summary if you want a lively stay with everything on your doorstep this isn't for you. If you're looking for stress free relaxation this is just the ticket. You could pay a fortune for a 'wellness' experience or you could just stay here where wellness looks after itself."

Eliofos Elegant Maisonettes ★★★

"We had a wonderful holiday here. George was very helpful and the contact was a pleasure from booking until departure. The apartment was perfectly suitable for our needs. No big luxury, but everything you need! The bathroom could need a little renovation, but everything was perfectly clean and on our wonderful terrace we could pick fresh mandarines for breakfast. The surrounding is really quiet most of the time and the walk to the sea is merely a stone's throw. We will surely come back! 😊"

Polis 1907 by Louis Hotels ★★★★

"Our room was lovely and spacious, and the hotel has beautiful traditional features. The ladies at reception were very welcoming and friendly. The hotel is in a very central location in Polis which is convenient, but it does mean at night there is a lot of noise from neighbouring bars and restaurants, but we stayed on a weekend, during the week it might be different. The breakfast is limited, it is à la carte with few options, and the quality of the meals and their presentation could be better. They also have no non-dairy milk options."

Marion Hotel ★★

"does not meet my criteria. The aircondition was extra if your booking it was from platforms."

Souli Beach Hotel ★★

Natura Beach Hotel and Villas ★★★

"Another fantastic stay (3rd time over the last year) at Natura. Came with friends and had the most wonderful and blessed time from start to finish. We had sea view rooms ....the views of the sea overlooking the gardens is stunning, we enjoyed watching the sun set most evenings The staff made us feel so so welcome, and were so accommodating especially Pantelis and Gee Gee . We also received a warm welcome from the hotel owners upon our arrival which we found very sweet. Breakfast was gorgeous with lots of lovely fresh home grown produce which we loved. The rooms were spacious and clean, we really appreciated the cleaners coming every day to freshen up our rooms. We ate out in Polis every evening (plenty of choice) which is about a 20 minute walk but enjoyed lunch at the hotel on some days. Bought some honey and olive oil to take home which is produced by Natura....Gee Gee was so very kind and took great care in wrapping the oil so that it would travel safely which it did....thank Gee Gee I just want to say a hear felt thank you to all of the staff for making our holiday such a special one. We loved every moment and are already planning our return for next year. "
