Apostolata Island Resort & Spa

Have just returned after spending 10 nights at this beautiful hotel. We stayed on a half board basis and can say that the food and hospitality were superb. Whether you wanted hot or cold food there was always plenty of variety. The standard was so much better than we had expected, given that it also catered for all inclusive. The staff were so lovely and helpful. Now it must be said that there are quite a few steps at this hotel to take you down to the main pool. There is a smaller pool at reception level (it is really lovely) and there is a lift to use between hotel floors, just not down to the main pool. A further treat is the beautiful bay (no sand so I don’t call it a beach) at the bottom of a steep in places road. They will take you down in a buggy cart if needed but there are a few steps down to access the water. This was a real highlight of our holiday. Clear sparkling water with lots of fish to see and swim along with. There is also a free shuttle (6 mins drive) to the closest beach. All in all a superb location for what was a very relaxing holiday.

Stayed here for 4 nights in July with my girlfriend. Had an absolutely wonderful time here. The resort has a huge pool area along with plentiful sun beds. There is even access to swim in the sea at the bottom of the resort. Nice bar by the pool to, serving all kinds of beverages including cocktails. As for the food itself, we went with the half board option. Breakfast, lunch and dinner buffets on offer. Each day there was a different cuisine. Selection, taste and quality was all fantastic. Very accommodating to people who are allergic to gluten to. The resort also has an a la carte restaurant. Perfect for a romantic dinner overlooking the resort and area. Room was spotless and spacious, had a lovely balcony too to sit outside in the evening warmth. The hotel also runs an activity each day and night, in the evening on the terrace we did a quiz night which was a lot of fun. The hotel also has an on site store. Very useful for buying beach equipment, snacks and even some nice souvenirs. Lastly the resort offers a shuttle service to Skala beach which I highly recommend. The beach is lovely with sun beds. The people who run the sun beds offer a service where they can bring you food and drinks. The small town of Skala itself right by the beach is great for exploring along with some fantastic restaurants and bars. I highly recommend this resort, staff were fantastic, food was great and overall just a very relaxing place to be.

The hotel is lovely, and the location is absolutely incredible. The hotel staff was very helpful and polite, always ready to assist with a friendly attitude. The lifeguard Niki was incredibly kind and welcoming. She interacted wonderfully with the kids, making them feel comfortable and safe. Highly recommended for families looking for a memorable getaway!

The hotel is excellent! The food is tasty, fresh, and every day there is something new. The service is very good, and the rooms are clean. It is a bit far from the center, but every evening there are activities at the hotel, which make the stay very enjoyable. Highly recommend

Just sharing our experience at this resort. My honest opinion - don’t waste your money here, there are much better places to go. This is not a 5 stars hotel , maybe a 3. We booked 6 nights with half board for the last week of August, and unfortunately the experience was very disappointing. On arrival, we were given an old, shabby room with ripped bedsheets, dirty surfaces, spider webs, and only a tiny glimpse of the sea. I immediately asked to change rooms, but was told there were no alternatives. Later that evening, I discovered that the air conditioning wasn’t working either. After complaining again, we were finally moved—two days later—to the room next door. The buffet food was bland and uninspiring—I’ve honestly had better Greek food in London. Food often ran out, and the staff seemed rushed and inattentive. For example, our drinks (just an orange juice and a lemonade) were brought only after we had already finished our main course. We requested a late checkout and were charged €80 for it. To make matters worse, on the last day I got food poisoning which I believe it was from the meat. When I mentioned and show this to reception while handing in the keys, the only response I received was an apology. Overall, the experience fell far below expectations, and I would not recommend staying here.
