Everything was great apart from no TV in room which when I asked reception said there was someone coming to fix which I suspect was lie asked other people at dinner and they said the same. If they updated there TVs it would of been a 5 star stay, even so you could log into Netflix or YouTube. Just handy after a long day exploring to relax with a movie or for kids to watch

Great hotel if your using it as a launching point for daily trips out.
I would suggest getting a car hire once you step off your flight or pre book as the local taxi can be expensive.
Rooms are fine however our TV didn't work (not a problem) room did have alot of bugs in it we had to buy a bug spray and the cleaners had to be reminded a few times to come and clean the room.
Food is just your usual all inclusive slop so I would suggest eating out for one of your meals daily otherwise pork can become very boring.
The arcades area, park, tennis court all could do with an overhaul.
The pools are superb plenty of options for kids and adults alike.
The bloke that does the night shift on reception is very unhelpful and rude just seem busy all the time even when there is nobody about and the hotel was pretty quiet.
As stated at the start great for a base of operations for daily movement to other areas but I most definitely couldn't sit in the hotel all day for 7 days.

Absolutely love this hotel. We’ve never had any problems. Staff have always been polite and friendly. Yannis the manager has gone out of his way to make us comfortable. Food was standard and repetitive but there wasn’t a day that I went hungry. More pickier eaters can go into town for the restaurants. Shuttle bus outside takes you to the beach. Personally, I chose to use the bus service as some of the others beaches are far nicer. Perfect location to get into town and perfect for commuting via buses.
Will definitely be going back again for the 6th time

Our family (10 of us) stayed at Golden Odyssey. It's functional, but the rooms are very hit-or-miss. You either get a nice-ish room with air-conditioning or something that hasn't been maintained since the 90s with a metal vent that buzzes.
They were doing a lot of refurbishment in one part of the Hotel when we were staying, which meant we spent a lot of time navigating around stepladders, debris, and tools in narrow corridors with wet paint on the walls. The decorating is done to a "that'll do" standard, with wall paint making its way to doorframes, furniture being built on the piss (& missing chunks here and there where the builder has gotten frustrated). The toilet cisterns in all 3 of our rooms continuously overflowed and needed to be flushed multiple times before they'd stop.
Rooms: Functional, open, and airy. There are no lights to speak of unless you hover by the door/balcony.
Beds:
The bloomin' beds are atrocious! Hard, lumpy, and sweaty. They seemed to me to have the effect of laying naked on a stone beach on a high gravity planet. I'd wake up contorted and bruised, with pains in my spine, hips, and gal bladder. The sun loungers are infinitely more comfortable, but they wouldn't let me take one upstairs to sleep on.
The food:
It was "food" in the sense that it was edible, but it lacked everything else that made food food. Everything down to the brocoli was oily and caked in salt. We only ate in the restaurant twice.
Location:
20 minutes walk from civilisation 25 to the beach. If you have a buggy or a wheelchair good luck. The Hotel does offer a free shuttle that runs every couple of hours, but it has very limited space, and again, if you have a wheelchair or a buggy, good luck.
Evening entertainment:
Same 5-6 songs every night.
Bar: Water with colourings.
Pools: There are a few pools. One big one by the pool bar, that is the deepest. There's also a little shallow kiddy pool there.
There's another kiddy pool with slides and a splash park. However, the floor of that one is slippery as all heck.
Housekeeping: One, two, skip a few. Three, four, your room will be cleaned no more.

Lovely hotel!
Staff are very friendly and are great with children, the cleaners were friendly and cleaned our room 4/5 time throughout our week stay. The staff in the restaurant are absolutely fantastic and hardworking. Entertainment here is fun and the whole family joined in! Overall my family and I thoroughly enjoyed our holiday with no complaints, will definitely visit again.
