Last Minute Holidays Leaving This Week

Aqz A

We had a great time at this hotel and was very impressed. Our stay from start to finish the staff were very friendly and looked after us well. Value for money you cannot go wrong, they have all the amenities including a 24 hour bar, gym, sauna and steam room available. We booked 3 separate rooms which they gave us all next to each other which was a nice gesture. Rooms were very clean and everything was as it should be, rooms decorated and finished to a nice standard. They have plenty of entertainment and activities, games for adults and kids to play as well as a kids club so parents can enjoy time to themselves if wanted. A special thanks to Anil (waiter on roller skates) who was a great waiter and lovely host for us, always smiling and happy to help. The only thing I could pick on was that they should have more than 2 irons and a stand in each room or available separately for a 200 room hotel, other than this everything was perfect. Thanks again to all the staff.

Avoid at all costs! Absolutely appalling service from the staff. We ended up leaving the hotel after the first night due to the hostile behaviour. Day 1, 3 members of staff came up to us and asked us to leave in under an hour with 3 children as the hotel management did not want us there due to complaints we raised about the rooms. We were locked inside with a technician as the doors stopped working and another room had no air conditioning, they could not move us or even downgrade the room so sent in a technician at 3am. When our provider questioned why they wanted us to leave they completely rejected what they said. Insulted us in front of other guests. Will be taking legal action against this hotel! If you fancy embarrassing yourself go ahead and book it! We have video evidence of the incident that occurred where they came up to us whilst we were having breakfast and telling us to leave. I’m happy to share.

We visited the hotel late November and the number of guest staying in the hotel were minimal but the experience of the staff and the facilities was fantastic. Hassan and the other staff members were always happy to help and despite being small number of guests they still made sure the choice of food was adequate and plenty for you to choose. I would recommend this hotel and if I am in alanya I would be happy to stay at this hotel again

The staff here is always ready for help, however, maybe it is now the off-season, quite some staff are not well trained so they do not understand guests' need neither in English nor in German. The food here is very poor. The soup is thin, no freshly grilled meat. I was expecting a Deluxe experience, but the reality hit me hard... The sea view is unbeatable.

Martin Reader

Had a great time at this hotel. Food is ok. Entertainment in the evening could be better , but overall had an amazing time , made some great friends and would definitely go back ! The general manager as well is a true gent . Will do anything for you !

Sean Glossop

Fantastic hotel, extremely good value for money and the rooms were well equipped as well as modern. The staff were all very friendly, we were self catering so I cannot comment on the food at the hotel but there was a little shop on site which sold pretty much everything you could need. The pools were clean, I loved the fact that there were multiple pools, the main one having the entertainment, and then Pool 2 which was quieter and more chilled (right by our room). In terms of location, this is the only thing where the hotel suffers, as it is on the outskirts of Los Christianos - however there is a free shuttle bus to and from the beach each hour during the daytime for those who don't wish to walk the 15-20 mins. There are also quite a few restaurants and shops close to the hotel without having to walk far, my favourite being the Italian restaurant literally opposite the entrance to the hotel, definitely worth a try, we ate there three times during our stay. Overall, this hotel is well worth the money, it's in a quieter part of Los Christianos but not too far from the centre, the room was very large, bathroom extremely modern and luxurious, cannot fault anything really.

Louise Hudson

Where do I begin? This apartment clearly took design inspiration from The Conjuring, it’s giving full haunted house realness. If peeling paint, banging by disgruntled neighbours, and furniture that looks like it holds grudges are your thing, you’re in for a treat. In my opinion, this is a solid 2-star, maybe 3 at most. As for cleanliness… what cleaner? I can only assume she’s a ghost—never seen, never heard, definitely never cleaned. Fresh towels? Non existent and if you ring reception they’ll ask for you to go down to collect them, maybe I should have levitated nude to collect it. The “VIP” area by the pool nearly sent me flying, £12 for the privilege of being tied up with rope like a medieval prisoner, it was like sunbathing in a glorified rope pen and there was a woman coming across to see if you’ve paid to stay within the rope as if it was worthy of being paid, mental. The breakfast buffet. I can’t even explain the quality, imagine being in a prison, but with less variety and more of a smell. Special shout-out to the guy at reception, what a character. His attitude was only outshone by his “Grease: The Musical” hair, slicked back like he’s auditioning for Danny Zuko: The Sequel, he tutted at me and my partner for asking if we could PAY to extend the room instead of being homeless by the pool on our last day. Overall attitude for no reason. Just really rude. I’d never come back here

Carl Threlfall

Firstly the room we had was spacious and clean. It had a large balcony overlooking the pool. Stayed 7 days, housekeeping came on the forth day offering clean towels but not clean sheets. Plenty of choice at breakfast. Entertainment every night. Personally I think it's more of a family orientated hotel. The location of the hotel is at the top of a very steep hill, not ideal, but good for views. Overall despite some shortfalls I enjoyed my stay.

Alex

The hotel is located in a very peaceful area with plenty of free parking outside. We had a 2 bedroom apartment with a bit of a sea view. It was well equipment and had 2 bathrooms. We had a very good time and enjoyed the hotel and swimming pools. I highly recommend staying here.

Laura Ionascu

We had a fantastic holiday and will definitely go back! The location is very nice (close to Los Cristiano's port/beach - which we loved). We rented a car and easily went everywhere from the location. Our accommodation was a huge 2 bed apartment (a bit dated but clean) with a terrace looking to the ocean, beautiful view. The food was good with plenty of choices but often cold. The location has 3 pools which are very nice. There is a shop just in front of the reception open until late so very handy. Service very nice, helpful staff (all speak English) and good entertainment in the evening. Kids enjoyed it very much! Overall very nice place, we ll go back soon! Thank you so much for everything!

We went to Lagotel in July/August of 2023 and we absolutely loved it! The whole experience was amazing. The food was good, the staff were great, the entertainment was brilliant for both adults and children. We was at the poolside every morning soaking up the sunshine and having a ball. The room was fine overlooking the pool. We enjoyed it that much we are going back this year (2025) on July the 28th for 10 days this time! We can't wait! See you in July!

John Garwood

Stayed here during a tournament. Front desk staff was very friendly. The service staff was rude and not very helpful in the dining area. The dining served processed food and very little options. Their main dish every day was pasta with sauce. Not happy with our stay

paul rackley

Great hotel, we went as a family with 2 children on a b&b basis . Hotel was clean,rooms were good, buffet breakfast was amazing. Staff attentive to detail, friendly and always busy . Pool setup was very good, with a lifeguard on duty. Plenty of entertainment, for the children and also good evening acts . Handy shuttle bus to beach. We all really enjoyed our stay there. One minor thing ,a socket by the bed would be handy.

rachel andrews

We had a fantastic time at the Lagotel. We booked a family room which was adequate space for a family of four. The room was cleaned daily along with fresh towels. The breakfast was lovely with plenty of options-we were spoilt for choice-and the snack bar was very reasonable and the portions of food were very generous. There was a friendly atmosphere throughout the hotel, day and night. Although there was a short queue for the main pool before it opened, there were always enough loungers available and the entertainment team provided activities throughout day. My son loved all the activities, especially the children's water bingo. The lifeguard was a real presence, chatting with the holiday makers and was always on hand to help with any issues. The nightly entertainment was certainly our highlight! The visiting performers-especially the Queen tribute- were great. I would especially like to thank Fabian and the rest of the entertainment team for all of their efforts. They worked really hard to ensure that everybody was having a good time and we all looked forward to the party dances every night. We hoped to find a hotel which was clean and reasonably priced with a happy buzz and this is exactly what we got! Thank you Lagotel-see you next year!

The hotel looks nice on the first sight but you soon notice that it has seen better days. Most importantly, the air conditioning in the room did not work - we wanted to use it for heating as we came in October. We used the sauna and gym and it seems like it has been put there just as an afterthought, especially sauna seemed very improvised, being put right into the gym - e.g. where are you supposed to rest in between sessions? The minigolf is in the worst state of all of these sporting activities, having holes where holes definitely should not be. I do understand that if you come with children, you will enjoy the daily and evening activities on the podium in front of the room balconies. However, the loud music playing on the podium and lights from the trampolines did not make for an agreeable evenings for us. The food was plentiful but it was sometimes hard to find something healthy. Sometimes there was a chef on grill who prepared fresh fish or steaks, that was a great thought.

Andy Kelly

Location is great food has been acceptable mostly Spanish elderly guests that stay here. Hotel could do with a good update. Very tired looking in areas. The bathroom smells like most of the guests have been sharing our room to take a poop, drain smell is awful!!!!! Kids entertainment room is really good modern and free gaming with staff to monitor the little ones whilst in the younger play area. This facility was really good. Most of the staff were great apart from one. Anita one of the bar staff who is miserable and likes to be rude to the kids when they are playing in the magic cafe. And when asking for a drink you would think you had just told her one of her family members have past away. Yes I don’t think bar work should be her allocated position. Anyway the hotel resembles the Cecil hotel from the Netflix documentary, check it out that will sum the place up better than I have.

Joana Oliveira

The all-inclusive meals were satisfactory, offering a good variety, although I found the selection of fresh salads, soups, and cheeses somewhat limited. The bar offered an exceptional wine selection and a wide variety of alcoholic beverages. The elevators were slow. The room was well-equipped with a kettle, refrigerator, and other necessities, and it featured a pleasant balcony. The hotel's location was excellent, being in the town centre and just five minutes from the beach. Overall, I would certainly consider returning.

Anna Pielach

The hotel is clean. Great location. Close to the beach, park, bus stops and the train station. Our room was ok. The weather in January was excellent. All the members of the staff were very kind and helpful. We would like to thank Katya for helping the Polish tourists, Anita for providing us with bus/train timetables (and great drinks!:), Ali, Ivan and all the other bartenders for the most amazing drinks. You made our little winter holidays special. Thank U:) Room 421.

Stevie Vevers

Sadly the only thing good about this hotel is the rooftop bar and loungers very spacious also the beer cruzcampo is actually full flavoured not watered down, like some all inclusive hotels. Food is awful rooms are tacky shower is a joke. You cannot control the temperature, the shower head only goes up halfway. Taps are noisy. Doors slam shut walls are paper thin. Full of Spanish that bang into you or won't let you in the lift. Don't start me about the lifts. Thought my tag heuer watch had stopped working the length of time they come

Nora

Leaving tmrw night/early Wed morning. Rooms are spotless, cleaners come every day and they are very polite and respectful. Reception - brilliant. We eat/ate our breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks on -2 floor - food was very good and something for all age groups (I am traveling with my toddler and two teenagers). We have a room on third floor, park view. Lidl 35min walk, supermarket 3min walk, playground and park around the corner, pharmacies 5-10min walk (we used Doctorsa for my toddler bc we needed antibiotics for her), beach (old town) about 5min walk, McDonalds -5min walk (their menu is so much better than UK one). Mostly Spanish guests which is good because it makes this hotel great for families with children. I saw some reviews saying about bad smell - flush ur toilet as soon as u arrive and first thing in the morning and it will go away - same issue at UK hotels (old buildings) so its not a big deal. A/C works very well. TV has multiple channels incl Eng. Fridge keeps everything cool (even better than the one I have at home haha). Water pressure - very good, literally can jet wash yourself (in a good way). We havent tried out pool and top floor bar because we spent most of the days outdoors but might do it tomorrow (on our last day here). Defo coming back next year!

Honest Review: Green Nature Resort & Spa, Dalaman (Half-Term Stay) We stayed at Green Nature Resort and Spa in Dalaman over the last half-term break, and I thought it would be helpful to share our experience—both the highs and the lessons learned. 🌟 The Good: Friendly Staff: The hotel staff were genuinely warm and helpful throughout our stay. The local taxi drivers we met were also courteous and accommodating. Pool Variety: There are three outdoor pools, including one with a few water slides, and a small indoor pool. This is great for families, though... Clean Facilities: The hotel grounds and public areas were kept tidy and pleasant. 😕 The Not-So-Great: Pool Temperature: The outdoor pools were far too cold for kids to enjoy in April. We've stayed in Antalya before where the pools were heated, so this was disappointing. Repetitive Food: While food was generally decent, the buffet was very chicken-heavy with similar dishes day after day. Sushi on the last day was a pleasant surprise. Entertainment Space: Evening shows were held in a small room that could only seat about 50 people. You’d have to rush through dinner just to grab a spot. ⚠️ Major Warning: Tourist Traps The biggest let-down wasn’t the hotel itself—it was the unauthorized agents lurking in the hotel lobby who pose as tour operators. A man who went by “Sasha” (possibly not his real name) approached us offering a “free” taxi to a shopping hub called Mr. Cheap. Spoiler alert: it was not a shopping centre, but a single overpriced store. We later realized we’d paid way more than normal prices after visiting the real city shopping area. We also got roped into an overpriced family boat trip through the same agent. It was sold as a deal, but in reality, we could’ve gotten a much better package (with alcohol included) by booking directly at the pier. ✅ Tips to Avoid What We Faced: Use Uber or ask your hotel to call a taxi for you—avoid unsolicited offers. Avoid shops that come with “free transport” offers. These often lead to tourist traps. Use GBP or USD for better bargains—rates are more favourable than Euros or Lira in many places. Book tours directly through reputable companies (safaris, boat trips, etc.). what3words - ///basher.input.slim to the town centre shops and boats. Don’t trust random "agents"—they’re usually unregulated and overcharge heavily. 🏁 Final Verdict: 5/10 The hotel was okay overall—nothing was terrible, but there was nothing outstanding either. However, the external scams seriously impacted our experience, so I'd urge families to be cautious. Hope this helps others make more informed decisions and enjoy a smoother holiday!

Leanne Hone

Great hotel! Complained to reception the safe and air con wasn’t working they came straight up to the room to help very quickly too! Our room was very spacious and we had a lovely view. The restaurant had lots of choice every night and very fresh! Lots of entertainment at the hotel and music around the pool, great location also about 7 minute walk to the strip. Will definitely visit again

Ashton Dunn

This was our first family holiday. What an experience. Our first few days here was continuous rain but the hotel staff and entertainment staff made sure that didn't stop the fun. On our 4th day there wasn't a cloud in the sky and the sun was out. There was lots of entertainment, dancing, music and so much more. I 100% recommend anyone to try this hotel. If you are a foodie and like trying new things this is the place for you. Kids club has been a God send my little girl loves it and the staff are amazing. What an amazing place. X

Sharon

Honestly had so many expectations of the hotel reading the reviews but was let down badly, hotel staff look down on Brits, rude and arrogant. Some can’t speak English which is understandable and fine however they get angry as they can’t respond back. With the food timings 1 minute before they turn the machines off so you can’t get a drink, whilst eating they start clearing up tables and chairs. Was not great experience at all. There’s a local shop called A1-01 staff are utterly rude and racist. They have so called kids entertainment which they show snipets of in the morning - the entertainers go around asking children to join them for 1 activity at 9am and the rest of the day you see them walking around. The hairdresser in the resort act like they are doing you a favour, got pedicure from them I honestly could smell smelly feet from the scrub they were using and all the did was laugh and talk in their own language when asking them a question. They clean your bedsheets after 3 days. If you ask for something just be prepared to be laughed at or spoken to arrogantly. Worst thing is they rely on tourists and this is how they treat us.

Nirav Shah

Fantastic resort and excellent service. We are vegetarian so day-1 there were not many options. I spoke to Chef Ismail who went out of the way and cooked 3 to 4 vege dishes everyday with traditional Indian taste and aroma. Loved the food and stay...we will visit again !!

j reilly30

Overall, very good, but very very big. Lots of walking involved 😜 nice rooms (nothing fancy) but clean and tidy. Food was…alright actually 👍 drinks on the other hand no good, the cup size is that of a child’s drink, around 250ml beers served each time, beer and cocktails I thought certainly lacked quality. The pools are decent, so many of them and a few are heated. Always somewhere to sit aswell, plenty of sun loungers. No issues there. It has a beach but it’s not that sandy, it’s very hard, but we don’t really use the beaches in Egypt. Staff on a whole are very good, very friendly, a couple a bit iffy and seem to prioritise the blonde English women 🙄 the guys on reception I thought where damn rude. Almost like I was causing them an inconvenience checking in and out. However, let them be! We had a good time and the price we payed. £900 for a week for me and my oldest son I cannot complain. Would I go again? Yes, if I got a good deal. Is it worth much more? My opinion, no. We have visited a few hotels in Hurghada so have a good comparison.

Adam Sierawski

We had a truly unforgettable stay at Long Beach Resort in Hurghada with my wife. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the incredible hospitality. The staff worked tirelessly to ensure our comfort and always greeted us with a warm smile. Their kindness and dedication made us feel truly welcome every single day. There was one exception – a Front Office employee who seemed more serious than a U.S. border officer, which felt a bit out of place in such a friendly atmosphere. However, everyone else made up for it with their positive energy and professionalism. Our room was spotless and comfortable, the food was tasty with a great variety, and the entire resort area was beautifully maintained. One of the absolute highlights was the breathtaking coral reef just off the shore, full of vibrant, colorful fish – a true paradise for snorkelers. The best recommendation we can give is this: we’re already planning to come back next year!

Neys

Very bad experience. At first, I enjoyed my stay. The restaurant staff was incredibly kind, pleasant, and always smiling, special mention to them. However, my stay took a terrible turn when my one-year-old baby simply touched a table on the terrace made of wicker and glass. The glass fell because it wasn’t properly secured. Guess what? They asked me to pay for it supposedly with a discount, but gave me no invoice or anything I could provide to my insurance. It’s outrageous, especially since both they and I have insurance. I should have filed a complaint because they put my baby in danger. My daughter could have been seriously injured, as well as my son. If you have young children, I strongly advise against this hotel. I will never set foot there again. And very soon, you’ll see a TikTok exposing what happened!

Sandra Miszczuk

“Our stay at the hotel in Egypt is an unforgettable experience! The hotel had a fantastic location, right by the beach with a beautiful view of the Red Sea. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, and the service was very friendly, always ready to help with anything we needed. As for the food, it was absolutely delicious! Every day, a variety of dishes were served to satisfy every taste – from traditional Egyptian dishes to international specialties. Fresh fruits, aromatic spices, and delicious desserts made every meal a true feast. It’s also worth mentioning the all-inclusive option, which allowed us to enjoy a wide range of restaurants and bars throughout the day. The highlight of the hotel was definitely the animation team. Every day, they organized various activities – from morning exercises on the beach to pool games and evening shows that attracted large crowds. The animators were amazing – full of energy, always smiling, and ready to have fun. Thanks to them, every day at the hotel was filled with joy and laughter. Egypt turned out to be a perfect place for relaxation, but also for active leisure. The hotel, the food, the people, and the animators created an unforgettable atmosphere that we will remember for a long time.”

Benjamin Jaworskyj

I liked the new room in a bungalow we had. It was freshly renovated and close to reception. But if you are in a bungalow up the hill, you need to walk far everwhere. The hotel area is super big, but they offer free bus transfers. Actually there was free wifi everywhere even though when I booked I was told different, this was great. They offer a free app to download with almost all informations you will need. I did not get any informations about this with checkin. The whole checkin process needs to be improved, especially with a big hotel like this. No info of shuttle buses, the app, restaurants, pools, nothing. Only “hello, passport, fill out, he will bring you to your room.” The reef on the old jetty is great for snorkeling but the way in is very steep. The beach is good to discover all kinds of crabs and seastars, much sand easy access. The food was good. Most staff was very friendly. Directly in front of the hotel are shopping facilities with good prices for souvenirs if you negotiate. Inside shopping is expensive and unfriendly. As they have a lot of pools you can always find a sunbed and shade somewhere even though they were fully booked. For a 7 day stay it was good. Improve some things and it would be great. 🚀 Especially checkin/checkout is first and last impression of a hotel. Food could have more variations, like themes.

Tania Tacke

Great Hotel, with a great location. The beach is privat and beautiful. The hotel is big and offers a wide variety of activities. The food is amazing, they have each night a different theme. The food is great quality, and fresh and super delicious. The store at the hotel are a blessing, you can visit them to buy all kinds of different souvenirs or snacks or medication. The staff is super kind, helpfull and always smiling and cheering the guests up. The room is great, all clean, spacious and well kept. Great place to stay and enjoy!

Ghazwa Kehila

I had a wonderful day in this amazing Hotel! My family and i are more than satisfied. We had so much fun and good time! the entertainment was so caring, helpful, always smiling and welcoming. The shows at night was so good! also the activities during the day for the adults and for the kids! All the hotel staff was so nice to us. we recommend this hotel and we will be back soon

Vincenzo Maisto

Very good Hotel. Has everything you ever need. Service and Personell ist very good. We have everyday Shows and the Animation team is outstanding. All in one 10/10. would come again here everytime! Everything is very clean. And the rooms get maked over every day.

Elizabeth Brown

Absolutely beautiful hotel everywhere is immaculate and clean.All the staff are lovely and friendly and very attentive. The young man who serves the ice cream and honey balls is so lovely and makes you laugh.The lady who cooks the chips is so happy and friendly not one miserable face in this hotel,you will feel so special.The food is absolutely gorgeous and all the chefs wear clothes and hats and are immaculately dressed in their outfits.We were there from the 25th March and the first week the young man who served at the adults only pool was so attentive he never stopped coming round asking what you would like to drink nothing was too much trouble for him unfortunately the second week another waiter was working the pool bar and unfortunately not good at all so rather disappointing after the service we received the first week. I would definitely recommend this hotel on another note we had clean towels and bedding every single day and the rooms were lovely and shower very powerful.I am definitely going back again I couldn't find one fault with the hotel.

Stumpy R!CK

Beautiful hotel with direct access to a private beach. Every staff / team member were amazing and always there to offer a friendly smile, hello and assistance if needed. The room service staff and toilet staff are amazing and keep their rooms and bathrooms in perfect condition. Mohammed and Mustafa the pool bar team were amazing and always served me with a smile. Mo and Islam from the entertainment team are 2 awesome guys. They always had a smile and hello for everyone. The hotel offers delicious buffet style mealtimes and also a themed night every night at the outdoor grill. There are also 7 restaurants to choose from ranging from local Egyptian cuisine to Asian food. There is also a fish and a steak restaurant available for a small charge. I would recommend Labranda Royal Makadi to everyone. There is everything within the hotel grounds that you could possibly need. Perfect 5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐for everything

Jana Dorotikova

We just got back last week. The resort Is great, especially for families with children. Everything was always clean, enough sunbeds And umbrellas on the beach. The sea Is beautiful, ideal for snorkeling. Food was amazing, various choices every day. And mainly, the staff were all amazing, Smiling all the time so we Felt very welcomed. Even though they were working very hard they all were just so friendly! Thank you for a great Holiday And we absolutely recommend this hotel! 🌴🤿♥️

Danijela Stojanovic

Very nice hotel, old but well kept. The staff is wonderful and always smiling, and the rooms on the ground floor with a garden are a paradise for children. the highest praise for the pirates animation team, our twins enjoyed their time. Sea is wonderful, but quite cold in the second half of June. all in all a wonderful experience. Greetings from Serbia.

Michal Cerhák

We really enjoyed our holidays at the Sunshine Crete Beach Hotel. We have stayed in a semi-separate apartment out of the main building. It was clean and quiet. We asked for a sea-view room but we could barely see the sea as it was mostly hidden by other buildings which was not so big issue at the end as we did not spend much time in the room anyway. The catering was also great in the main restaurant and at the beach bar. The overall atmosphere was perfect, mostly thanks to the animation team. They took care of the children as well as of adults during the day and evening. There was always something to do and it was always fun. Amongst others stretching and aqua aerobics in the morning, water polo and some competition in the afternoon, and a mini-disco for kids with another competition or karaoke and a disco in the evening. Go, animators, go!

Emily W

An amazing two weeks at this wonderful hotel. Everything was excellent - the room, food, staff. They welcomed us at 4am and were so kind and helpful, it was a great start after a long journey with young children. The hotel is just lovely, with so many facilities. Everything for kids was perfect and the food was delicious with plenty of choice. Even if you don’t have children, there’s plenty to enjoy. Could not recommend enough.

Judit Nemeth

This is not a 5 star hotel, really dated, rooms require urgent refurbishment. Staff was okay but definetly not 5 star hotel experience. Food was okay but again they are far far away from 5 star, drinks are limited and cheap alcohols. We mostly enjoyed the clean sea and it was beatiful but we would no come back to stay at this hotel again. They are not up to standard to be 5 star hotel maximum 3 star.

Tommy Regan

We arrived yesterday, for the price we paid each (£200) it’s pretty good value for money, not sure what the reviews are on about. It’s sheltered, the water pressure in the shower is great, everything works fine, beds are comfy enough. They’re quite small bungalows for two people but that’s okay for us. If you’re fussy dont expect it to be a 4 star hotel, the location is on a steady hill not far from shop about a 5 min walk. Plenty of local restaurants. You can see the sea view walking down towards the beach, the people have been so friendly so far. Only things to point out: the receptionist was awful at directing us to our room and you may want to bring a tea towel as they dont provide one but the bathroom comes with 2 towels and 3 loo rolls. Could be more plug sockets around the kitchen. Rooms are a little echoey and walls are thin but as to be expected for Spanish accommodation. There is a pull out bed on the lounge which is handy if you needed it! Plenty of Irish bars, local food and plenty to do. If you want somewhere to stay that doesn’t set the world alight, has a pool down the road and has beautiful local scenery, I’d highly suggest booking it.

Rhian Roberts

The room was ok. Staff weren't helpful, and we had to wait 4 days before a maid gave us a kettle. The location was ok, but I had to walk quite a bit to the main amenities/shops. The town area was a great place with plenty of food areas but not enough shopping halls. Also, there are a small number of drinking areas. Be aware of some young locals in small gangs asking you to buy drugs off them

Magdalena Stanik

Our stay at Bungalows Castillo Beach Park was very disappointing. The bungalow was old and had an unpleasant smell. Despite being self catering, we were given just one cup for three people, very little cutlery, and no knife for cutting – it was impossible to cook there. A hairdryer was also missing. On arrival, there were only two towels instead of three, and one duvet was missing for our child. On a positive note, the reception staff were helpful, and the location was good. However, even for a budget option, we’ve had far better experiences camping. Definitely not recommended.

Mollie Maynard

Stayed here last Saturday for one night. It's about a 20 minute uphill walk from the bus station. The man on reception was really friendly and reassured me the apartment wasn't far away, which it wasn't, but felt like a Maze trying to find it with the map provided. The apartment was big in size and functional. For the price paid you cannot expect the ritz, but I was more than happy with it for the cost. The bedroom light and shower didn't work, so I had to have a bath but as I was only staying one night I just reported this on check out. I would come back if in the area as for the price its an absolute bargain. Be open minded and you will enjoy it too!

Joseph Tan

My very first time to stay at an all-inclusive. Stayed for 4 nights with my best mate and we had one room each. From the time we arrived at Reception to check in to the rime we left, it was all a very pleasant stay. Each room is actually a one-bedroom unit with its own kitchen, dining table and chairs, a sofa bed and individual terrace with outdoor chairs and table. The beds could have been better but you get what you pay for, I guess. There were extra blankets for cold nights in the wardrobe in case you need them. They only supply towels with no toiletries. You are not allowed to use the room towels at the swimming pool so make sure you bring your own. You can get what you need from the supermarket which is about 15 minute walk from the Reception building. Visited in February so not peak season so the only restaurant and bar open at the time was the Restaurant Mirador, where their main swimming pool is also located. Service at the restaurant and especially the bar was very good. Everything was kept clean and tidy. The bartender, Alberto, was especially very pleasant, attentive and helped both just at the bar but also at the restaurant. Food was adequate although I didn't enjoy the cooked meat served at breakfast at all. Lunches and dinners were better with choices of salads, meat, fish, pasta, rice and some vegetables. The complex is not far from the town centre which is where the beach is. There are other restaurants and bars in the town if you'd like to try other things outside of the all-inclusive resort. The whole stay was very reasonable because our booking also included return flights from London Gatwick.

Janet Rankine

Stayed here last year with family and friends. The hotel was beautiful but the food was abysmal. It was dire. The drinks on offer within the all inclusive package were the cheap and nasty local drinks. We did not expect to pay more money to have access to the branded drinks. The entertainment was poor. Some of the staff were unfriendly and unprofessional whilst some were wonderful and helpful. On the plus side, the hot stone massage within the spa was amazing. We paid for 5 star luxury at this hotel but we certainly did not receive it. I would certainly not recommend this hotel. I am used to 5 star luxury and trust me this hotel does not meet this criteria. The worst holiday I have ever been on. So looking forward to 5 star luxury in the Caribbean in two months time.

Absolutely amazing! Everything in this place is done perfectly. Buffet is incredible, the staff is helpful, always smiling and being nice. The hotel is great, not very busy (you don’t have to fight to get sun chairs) with great pools. They also have a pier where you can jump into the see to do snorkeling. A life guard is always checking on you and the sea is extra warm! Special shout out to Mina at the bar upstairs, Mohamed in the Recreation team at the bottom pool and Ahmed the pool waiter. We went last November and will definitely be back!!!

The hotel was fantastic. We stayed in room 7201 (the housekeeping staff always kept everything very tidy and left us funny towel animals, which was a nice touch). The room was a bit far from everything, but we didn’t mind. It was an easy walk to the beach, and we could also reach the main building effortlessly when we went to eat. The food was fantastic—flavorful, fresh, and diverse. The restaurant staff was very kind, and a special thanks goes to all the bartenders and staff members for their excellent service. Both the drinks and the overall service were outstanding. Overall, everything was excellent!

The best place the best staff the best food, my second time here…. Alex the animation team is so fun and energetic always getting people up enjoying your day. Hassam at night is amazing we can’t thank him enough what a lovely guy he is! All staff are helpful. The food is amazing always fresh and the rooms are so spacious and cleaned to high standard everyday. See you again in September

I recently stayed at Barceló Tiran Sharm, and while some aspects were great, others were disappointing. Check-in & First Impressions Upon arrival, the reception staff were professional and welcoming. However, I was surprised when they immediately offered us a paid room upgrade—before we had even seen our assigned room. This made me wonder if there was something wrong with the standard rooms. We declined, as the website showcased beautiful rooms, so why pay extra for something you already expect to be nice? Once we finally got our keys and entered the room, it was quite outdated—nothing like the website photos. The bedding was worn out, with visible fabric pilling from overuse. The room also didn’t seem to have been properly cleaned before our arrival. Since we were tired from a late arrival, we just went to sleep. The next day, after leaving a tip for housekeeping, the room was properly cleaned, and we were given new, comfortable bedding. Food & Drinks The food was repetitive, with not much variety. Lots of plain salads, but enough to keep you fed. Drinks at the beach bar were great, and the bar staff were fantastic—friendly and welcoming. Biggest Disappointment The pool was under refurbishment, and at no point before arrival were we informed that it would be completely unavailable. This was frustrating, as a pool is a major part of a beach resort experience. What Made the Trip Worth It? The animation team! They were the true highlight of the stay, keeping guests entertained throughout the day and evening. Special thanks to Zarina, Ksysha, Regina, Saio, Hamza, and Rob—they truly know how to keep guests engaged and motivated. Would I Return? Yes, despite the issues with the room and food. The entertainment team and beach bar staff made up for the shortcomings. However, management should be more transparent about room quality and any ongoing renovations.

Tara Allcock

Well what can I say. What a great holiday we had here. Our rooms were upgraded because I believed we had booked sea view rooms but apparently they were side sea view to which I was not happy however Olga the customer relations manager upgraded us to sea front rooms and she was very helpful to me before and during the holiday. Our rooms were clean and spacious and our cleaner Ahmed was a lovely man and looked after us well. The food was Amazing lots of different selections to choose from . My daughter who is gluten free was looked after well by the restaurant manager Waleed and head chef who even brought partner some special vegetables when he heard him asking for vegan meals. Our waiter Mostafa couldn’t do enough for us! Only downside is you do not get your full 7 days all inclusive as we arrive about 7-8 at night on the Saturday and on the following Saturday check out was at 12 and they cut your ands off so we couldn’t access the food and drinks. They did allow us to keep one room for free until 3pm and allowed us to eat lunch at the restaurant. First time in Egypt and the hotel staff made it enjoyable for us They views were Amazing too! A special shout out to the names mentioned above Olga Ahmed Waleed Head Chef and Mostafa they are a credit to your hotel . Bar staff on beach and restaurant looked after us and beach staff were great, pool was closed for most of our week which we was not told about. Animation staff okay however one was very pushy can’t remember her name maybe seo ? Loved this hotel I would 💯 go back again ♥️

Alex

Had an amazing stay at Barcelo Tiran Sharm! The hotel is absolutely beautiful, very clean and well-maintained. The staff was always friendly and helpful. Drinks were great, and the bar service was fast and professional. Rooms were spotless every day. Highly recommend for a relaxing and enjoyable vacation!

Peter Mulder

Very nice Resort, wonderfull staff, friendly and kind. The rooms are big and comfortabele. Good solid beds and pillows. Food is good and diverse. The resort itself is not new, but looks still good The beach is wonderfull with coral reefs and beatifull fishes. Very nice! Also Zarina told me to say that she is a good performer and she really wants to have a Porsche. Will i come back, i think so, the location is wonderfull at the end of Sharm-el-sheikh.

Natasha Smith

Firstly where do I start 😊 From the minute I booked this hotel the service and the emails back and fourth with Olga were brilliant. I would like to thankyou for the room upgrade on arrival as well as the birthday cake, room decoration and the stunning views at the hotel. The photographer was amazing helping me with our wedding proposal and capturing it on camera for us. The beach is stunning, plenty of sunbeds for everybody and lovely service from the towel hut and life guards. The Animation team are excellent. Very welcoming and polite always going out there way to get everybody involved in activities and suprising us on the evening of our engagement congratulating us. The food is beautiful, a wide variety and always something for everybody. During the day for the more fussy eaters the beach restaurant (snack bar) 12pm till 5pm has chips, burgers, hotdogs, pizzas etc available. I couldn't fault the hotel. It was a shame the main pool was closed for renovation although this is due to be complete by the beginning of March I was told. Hoping to return in the future 🥂🍹🐫🏝

We’ve just returned from our 8-day holiday. The staff were very polite and helpful. The hotel itself does deserve its three stars. The rooms are quite spacious, regularly cleaned, beds comfy (could have been joined permanently to avoid sliding apart). The portable air-conditioning unit requires leaving the balcony door open and is quite noisy. With all the noisy entertainment on the stage by the pool one just wants to keep the windows shut to enjoy some silence. We were provided with the All inclusive option: the food was quite tasty but of average quality ingredients. Luckily, there were many options to choose from so everyone should find something to please their palate. We have only tried breakfast and dinner meals as at the time of lunch menu or pool bar snacks we were away sightseeing or enjoying the beach. The location is okay, exactly as described on the website. The free beach bus could run more frequently though. It’d be great if the pool and jacuzzi areas were available until 9p.m. We didn’t get the chance to use them more than 3 times throughout our whole stay because of such short opening hours. The lifts need more attention and the room doors that are far from soundproof. On the whole, it was a very pleasant stay.

Michael

No other words but excellent! Nice clean hotel with very friendly and always helpful staff. We don't do all-inclusive very often, but it's a lot easier with 2 young children, but it was by far the best all-inclusive food we have had! Endless choice and always something different every day. Also, lovely fresh, thin based pizza is available all day from the snack bar along with salad and other snacks. The bottom pool is always lovely and warm, and a great little kids pool and kids club to the rear of the hotel. Had a great room that always had the sun on the balcony and nice views over the pool. Great entertainment on a night and a good mixture of music playing through the day. Little kids' arcade area was handy for nighttime. Only 1 negative was that the gym was very basic, which could do with a bigger room and some more weight lifting equipment. Will definitely visit again!

Sarah Goddard

Dani and Johny & team were great with the kids, kids club in general was good, maybe have some more structure events like treasure hunt they loved that, and giant jenga. Pools and facilities lovely. Food good. Pool bar had good selection of snacks and drinks. Also plenty of loungers and chairs. Only thing is distance from the beach but we were aware we’d have to rely on shuttle bus.

Judi Ryan

We can't fault the hotel in general. If your idea of heaven is lying by the pool in the sun all day then this is a great place to stay but for us the negatives were the location and our room location. We enjoy walking to the lighthouse daily but the hotel was too far for a comfortable walk, there was a free bus and the local bus and taxis but we enjoy the exercise, also we like to stay on the patio/terrace and don't go near the pool but our room was in blockD and the patio was is shade all day we did ask to be moved and the hotel did move us to a sunnier room. The positives hugely outweighed the negatives. The rooms were very nice and comfy, the food was full of choice and tasty, every meal there was always chefs cooking fresh as well as the preprepared food. There was always good daily and evening entertainment and the staff were great. We would not come back but only because of the location if we didn't want our daily walk we would be back in a flash.

SC

Mirador Maspalomas has an excellent location - however, the hotel requires you to wear a wrist band if you opt for all-inclusive. Unfortunately, the staff were unapologetic and did not provide alternative solutions when asked about alternative ways to demonstrate that we'd paid for all-inclusive (for instance, the receipt, keycard and suchlike). If you're someone who has skin allergies or rashes - or simply do not like to wear a wrist band for hygiene or aesthetic reasons, I strongly recommend discussing this early on with the staff or seeking alternative hotels that offer flexibility with this. For the avoidance of doubt, my 1-star for service is not reflective necessarily on what went well - true service standards emerge when something doesn't go as 'expected' and how staff approaches this situation. In this instance, staff fell short of flexibility and empathy and I will not be opting to stay here again.

Stuart Fergusson

Me and my partner had a lovely week here. Staff were brilliant, so nice in particular the guy tending bar was so hard working and friendly he's a credit to the resort. All the people were very welcoming and we'd love to come back again.

Shaine Savidge

We have just got back having spent a week here staff are lovely .we was on a ground floor apartment cockroaches everywhere including in our room.couple of power cuts which is understandable due to bad weather. cleaners came in and left our patio door open which is not good at all after being told there is no cctv. Fights broke out a couple of nights aswell with no security or cameras made us feel uneasy staying for the entertainment which was only 9.30-11. The layout of the hotel was nice easy to navigate around the place and the cats and peacocks was a nice touch.food was not the best as most of it was cold especially breakfast.

Jacob Francis Gordon-France

My recent stay at this hotel in Rhodes Greece was nothing short of a nightmare. From the moment I arrived, it was clear that this establishment falls far below acceptable standards in numerous critical areas. The customer service was consistently poor, with staff appearing indifferent and unhelpful to guest concerns. This lack of attention was a recurring theme throughout my stay. The food on offer was a major disappointment. The general choices were limited and uninspired, but the breakfast was particularly offensive – poor quality and frankly disgusting. To make matters worse, I and several other guests witnessed flies swarming over the food, a truly appalling sight that raises serious questions about hygiene practices. The hotel's entertainment area and bar were woefully inadequate. The space was incredibly small and became excessively overcrowded, making it virtually impossible to get a drink or enjoy the facilities. Adding to the discomfort was the constant noise from the peacocks roaming the property. Their loud calls frequently disrupted sleep, starting early in the morning. The surrounding area of the hotel also left a negative impression, appearing run down and unappealing. Inside the hotel, safety was a major concern. The floors were inexplicably "slippy," and I personally witnessed several people, myself included, nearly or actually fall. This is an unacceptable hazard. The build quality of the rooms was atrocious. There were widespread reports of leaks and a lack of warm water, and my own experience confirmed these issues. I endured a significant leak where water was dripping from the ceiling directly through the light fixture. Shockingly, it took three days of repeated reporting before this serious electrical hazard was finally addressed. The slow response and disregard for guest safety were deeply concerning. Overall, I cannot emphasize enough how negative my experience at this hotel was. The combination of abysmal customer service, disgusting food with hygiene issues, inadequate facilities, noise problems, safety hazards, and poorly maintained rooms made for a truly dreadful stay in what should have been a relaxing Greek getaway. I strongly urge anyone considering this hotel to look elsewhere. This establishment is a significant letdown and does not represent the standards one would expect in Greece. I have videos but can only upload photos

I recently stayed at Evita Resort and had a mixed experience. On the positive side, the rooms were clean and spacious. It was nice to have plenty of room to relax after a long day. The housekeeping staff did an excellent job maintaining the room's cleanliness throughout our stay. The staff at the hotel were friendly and attentive, always ready to help with any requests we had. Their welcoming demeanor made our stay more pleasant. However, there were a few significant downsides. The food was a major disappointment. Despite trying several dishes, we found that none of them met our expectations. The quality and taste were subpar, which was quite a letdown. Additionally, the food options are not particularly child-friendly. Families with young children might struggle to find suitable meals, and the general atmosphere of the hotel doesn't cater well to the needs of families. In summary, while Evita Resort excels in room quality and staff service, the food and family-friendliness leave much to be desired. If dining and location convenience are important to you, you might want to explore other options

Me Me

Booked Evita hotel for 10 days, we have been to Greece on a few occasions, this hotel has been far the best.Good choice of food throughout the day including snacks. Sam is amazing, he makes everyone welcome and makes everyone smile, this made us comfortable.The room are spacious and are regularly cleaned to a good standard. I've read reviews about ants etc ...but these are outside not inside, maybe if people did not drop food there would not be any. Thanks for a lovely stay and will book again for next year, well done to the rest of the entertainment team for your hard work, but previously stated Sam was exceptional,Thank you.

Diar

I stayed at this resort last year, and I’m still thinking about the amazing experience! From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly welcoming and professional, making sure every detail was taken care of. The room was spotless and beautifully designed. We had both an Italian and a Greek dinner reserved for free, simply by booking in advance – and we truly enjoyed every bite! The resort grounds were immaculate, with lush greenery, a serene pool area, and direct access to a beautiful beach. It was the perfect escape for relaxation and recharging. I highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway. Can’t wait to return!

vanda vecsei

We spent a fantastic week here with my family. The resort was clean and well maintained. The room was spacious and clean. We enjoyed the buffet on most days but found that there were not many chicken options. The evenings were filled with fun and laughter thanks to the amazing entertainment. The animators went above and beyond. Kids club was fantastic and a great opportunity for little ones to make friends and parents to have a few relaxing hours.

Alex

Nadia, your team, the people around u are just amaizing! Good food makes a final touch so perfect that we want to come back and even stay here forever! Top service, top food !! Thanks for this amazing stay, we should absolutly come back again!!

Sam Pritchard

The hotel is huge and a perfect location with an amazing beach and large pool. Unfortunately that’s the only good parts of the stay. The hotel itself is very tired and run down, we had 4 rooms and every room had maintenance issues, bathrooms stink of sewage and 2 of us had to swap rooms due to broken showers and mouldy mattresses. A la carte restaurants were fully booked for our 5 night stay so only option was the buffet which is awful. Very difficult to get a table, then when you do finally get one, good luck finding a staff member to clean it. The food itself is horrid, only positive is that I lost weight in n an all inclusive holiday because the food is not tempting whatsoever. On terms of the drinks you have a plastic token you have to keep all week to redeem for a plastic glass at the bars. Only local beers and spirits included. You can’t even get a decent coffee anywhere, the coffee machines in the buffet are terrible and the only bars that serve a decent coffee are charged. Would recommend to avoid this hotel in honesty. Such a shame as the location and beach are beautiful.

Heather

We had a lovely family holiday here. The highlight for us was that the hotel was right next to a gorgeous beach, where the sea was clean and clear. The food in the hotel was good, but it seemed to lack in variety from one night to the next. The rooms were fine and cleaned to a high standard. We had amazing sunset views from our balconies. The last day of our holiday was slightly stressful though as we booked and paid to have a late check-out of our rooms, but then we were informed at the last minute that we couldn't have these rooms so we quickly had to pack and move which messed up our plans. Also, we hadn't been given/couldn't find out information about our transfer back to the airport, and the reception staff couldn't help us with this. We know transfers are not their responsibility, but a bit of help working out what was going on would have been appreciated. Overall, however, we have very happy memories of our holiday at Sandy Beach, Corfu.

Lyndsey Cook

Gorgeous hotel, staff can't do enough for you. Food is amazing with lots of choice. Only downside is nighttime entertainment and the temperature of the pool but we went in April, the cold pool may be welcomed more in the hotter weather

John Baxby

Hotel was nice and clean but the beds felt like they where made of concrete the food was the same every night. Some weird meat in a stew chips and a variety of fish not much choice expected a little better for the money paid. Tended to cater for none English.

Sach Chugh

It was a wonderful experience staying there. Receptionist Fred, room cleaning Isabelle, restaurant Staff Rafael, Gulfam, Joelma, Bar staff Aakash, Ines, David, Iuri, Jagdeep, Kaldeep, Amarinder, Sub Chef Alves and Sabi were customer friendly and helpful. F&B manager was very rude and arrogant Not fit for the position and hospitality industry along with a Bar staff Ana.

Eileen Goddard

Absolutely fantastic hotel, the room is lovely we got given a free upgrade so have a pool view. The food choice and quality is excellent and the staff are very friendly. Unfortunately the second half of our trip was very noisy and disruptive due to hordes of under 14's staying for a football competition, they were noisy and every evening till nearly midnight were running around the corridors and banging on doors.

Eunice O'Grady

We went on a family holiday, lovely big rooms and balcony, not much entertainment apart from half an hour children's entertainment in evening, one small shop on site, there's a supermarket about 10-15 minute walk away, we walked into Alvor and it took us about 20 minutes (you can get a taxi but we wanted to walk) there's a free bus daily that takes you to the beach, would go back there. Food, drink staff were great.

Simon Fagence

Old hotel but clean and maintained. Beds comfy, hotel staff helpful and rooms seeviced regularly. The food was excellent. Very high standard, good variety that was themed nightly and the waiting staff very good and efficent. I would defo stay at this hotel again.

Paul Hillsden

We were a little disappointed with our room condition, but as the hotel was fully booked, we couldn't be moved. We understand that this hotel will be undergoing a refurbishment in the not too distant future, which may have something to do with the condition of it. However, the rest of the hotel was fine. The bar area was nice and comfortable, the pool was nice, clean, and warm. The poolside bar was excellently staffed by enthusiastic and friendly staff. The food was of very good quality and variety, and the service at lunch and dinner was exceptional. The people working there really made this place. Always smiling, always friendly, and always ready to accommodate any, reasonable, request. They made us feel very welcome.

Deeanne Stripe

Positives: The hotel staff are friendly and helpful. The pool is lovely and clean (but cold). Outside is better than the inside and the grounds were well kept. Negatives: We went for 5 days. The room wasn't cleaned, the bedding wasn't changed nor did we get clean towels until I complained - twice. There were also cockroaches in the room. The food was disgusting and lukewarm and flies kept landing on it all as it wasn't covered. For a 4* hotel I expected the food to be at least adequate but it truly wasn't. The entertainment wasn't the best but we were out of season. It is located on the beach but there is no access directly and its very rocky. The indoor pool is even colder than the outside which seemed odd. The all inclusive drinks don't include Latte, milkshake, hot chocolate etc and u have to pay separately for those. To keep it's 4* rating it needs completely refurbishing inside and new chefs/food choices.

Beth Veitch

This hotel is shouldn't be 4 stars it's definitely a 3 star! The pictures they show on their website do not match the rooms in real life. Our towels weren't replaced in the room for 2 days and they don't regularly replace new mugs or fresh tea bags, coffee and milk in the rooms. The Pillows and sheets are stained with make up etc. And they're not replaced the whole of your stay! The pool is the best part of the hotel however they have lights hanging off inside the pool and the children's pool is full of debris and needs to be cleaned regularly. The pool bar staff are brilliant and really friendly. The bar in the evening is very slow and needs more staff for the amount of guests in the hotel. The eveing entertainment is rubbish they might aswell just not bother! The decor is very dated with old manky carpets running through the corridors. I will say the food is lovely and changes everyday so your not eating the same things all the time. This hotel definitely needs to be down graded to a 3 star and stop leading people to believe it's a 4 star online!!!

Arron Davenport

Me and my wife stayed at this hotel for a week whilst visiting paphos. Tldr; Overall, I would give this hotel 3/5 stars, good hotel ONLY if you get it for a good price like we did. I wouldn't recommend it at all for young couples in their 20s and early 30s or anyone seeking anything other than sun, beach and being poolside. Rooms 2/5: the rooms are dated and not particularly well equipped. The mattresses are firm and the pillows are really poor. The air con in the room works fine, the TV is tiny, has about 8 channels that are all in greek. We got the sea view room and the view was good however depending on which sea view room you got your view could be amazing or awful. Our towels were changed daily and bed made with some light cleaning. Staff/service 3/5: once again it was just decent. The staff don't really talk to you or say much, they're not particularly friendly but not rude either. A very average service throughout. Food 4/5: the food was surprisingly good considering it was included, we got half board breakfast and dinner and both are buffet style. We were both surprised at the quality and the amount of choice. Notably the meat choices for the dinner service. I read a few reviews before coming to the hotel, that the food was poor however it is clear that those people were unrealistic considering this is a hotel on the cheaper side. Drink 2/5: I usually wouldn't write a section just for drink but this is important. They have the WORST selection of 3 beers and 0 cider options which was surprising to me. They do however get +1 star for the cocktails that although do not look great and are not made with any real care, are loaded with what I can only call "super measures" of spirits. Hotel environment. 3/5: once again it was very standard and nothing special. The pool is big with ample seating, there is a standard sized indoor pool and sauna and a TV room with a small TV. There is daily evening entertainment which is probably the worst thing about the hotel. It was either music or bingo or both, and the musicians could have been anyone they pulled off the street, furthermore you have no choice in listening to it and the windows are not soundproof. Local area 3/5: you're pretty far out from the centre of pathos but there are travel options very close to the hotel. There is a particularly good beach spot a short walk away but be advised, other than this beach there is nothing else to do locally that is not shopping or eating. There was no evidence of local crime or scamming going on and the area seemed safe and mostly clean.

There are multiple hotels belong to the same group (Mitsis). I think Family Village is the oldest one, therefore it is a bit neglected. The furnitures are old and a bit dirty. Access to the pools in front of the rooms is a very challenging for some of the rooms, especially the ones on the second floor. You have to go down the 3 meter ladder. Sunbeds on the beach are grouped by the hotels and Family Village is the one that has the fewest. So it is very possible you may not find a free sunbed when you go there even though there are a lot of free sunbeds belong to the other hotels. On the pozitive side: food was very good. Staff is very helpful and friendly. The coktail bar is always open and serves what ever you like. The shows by the pools in the evenings are fun too.

Tea Jaho

We had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The staff were friendly and always willing to assist, making us feel welcomed. The location was ideal, just a short walk from various attractions. Our room was stylish and comfortable, very clean, featuring a lovely view. We also appreciated the hotel’s amenities, especially the spa and restaurant. Overall, it was a delightful experience, and we would gladly recommend this hotel to anyone.

Fajken Bejko

We had a wonderful experience at this hotel. The staff was attentive and always ready to help with a warm smile. The location was perfect, close to many attractions and easy to access. Our room was modern and well-equipped, with a beautiful view from the window. We also enjoyed the hotel amenities, especially the pool and fitness center. Overall, it was a memorable stay, and we would definitely recommend this hotel to others.

Louise G

My partner and I recently had the pleasure of staying at Mitsis Family Village, and we couldn't have asked for a more lovely experience. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the stunning views and the warm hospitality of the staff, who were absolutely excellent and attentive to our every need. The food was nothing short of amazing, with a wide variety of options that catered to all tastes. Whether we were enjoying a casual meal at one of the takeaway restaurants or indulging in a sweet treat from the pastry corner, we were always delighted by the quality and flavor. The hotel's location is perfect, just a short 5-minute walk to a beautiful Blue Flag-awarded beach. We loved having the option to either take the hotel’s beach hopper or enjoy a refreshing walk to the crystal-clear pebble beach. Our room was spacious and beautifully decorated in a Mediterranean style, offering an impressive view of the Aegean Sea. The shared pools were a fantastic addition, providing a relaxing atmosphere to unwind after a day of exploring. With numerous recreational activities available, including seawater swimming pools, water slides, and sports facilities like beach volleyball and tennis, there was never a dull moment. Overall, Mitsis Family Village is the perfect destination for a relaxing getaway, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful and enjoyable stay in Kos. We look forward to returning to this wonderful hotel in the future!

Matthew Gardner

We had a great time at this hotel. We had booked into a basic room which was fine and we were happy with. 3 days into our trip we got offered an upgrade to a room that had direct access to a pool. If you get the chance I would book this room. The drinks are all branded and the cocktails were lovely. The food was very tasty. The walk up and down to the beach is about 5 minutes and it not too bad of a walk. Overall I would fully recommend this hotel. We paid £700 each including flights and it was great value for money

Sian Roberts

We are currently staying here with our 14 year old and it's one of the best holidays we've had. The food is amazing, very varied and a wide choice each day. Pools are beautiful but a bit cold for me in April. Rooms are spotless and our housekeeper surprises us each day with the art she makes with the towels! Entertainment team are really friendly and not too pushy, there is something going on all time. Beach is adjacent to the hotel with clear water and white sand. All the staff are friendly, polite and can't do enough for us. The hotel has an international clientele which gives the place a really inclusive atmosphere. Would highly recommend *****.

I recently stayed at a hotel in Mahdia, and I can genuinely say it was one of the most memorable holidays I’ve ever had. The location was stunning – right by the turquoise sea, with a peaceful atmosphere and a clean, well-kept beach. The hotel itself was lovely, with comfortable rooms, great food, and friendly service. But what truly made this experience special was the animation team, especially Ramos. He’s an absolute star! From the moment we arrived, Ramos brought such incredible energy, joy, and positivity to everything he did. He’s not just an animator – he’s the heart and soul of the entertainment team. Whether it was pool games, evening shows, or just chatting and making everyone laugh, Ramos made everyone feel included and welcomed. His charisma and ability to connect with people of all ages is rare – my whole family adored him. He remembered guests by name, brought smiles every single day, and made sure no one ever felt bored. He truly went above and beyond to ensure we were all having the best time possible. If you’re planning a trip to Mahdia, I highly recommend this hotel – and if Ramos is still there, you’re in for an unforgettable time!

Anna Romana

Starting with the accommodations, the rooms are quite dated, which gives the hotel an overall tired appearance. While the beds were comfortable enough, I found the need for a renovation to be evident. A specific point of frustration was the unique situation with ironing facilities. There appears to be only one iron for the entire hotel, which is unacceptable for a property of this size. When I reached out to reception to borrow it, the staff seemed unsure of its whereabouts or when it would be returned, leading to an inconvenient wait. Make sure you pack stuff that doesn't require ironing. Staff at reception are totally unhelpful. Everytime you have a problem and you ask them what should you do they say " I don't know". The loud noise in the room you ask them where shall I sleep tonight? Their answer " i don't know". Additionally, air conditioning units emitted a musty odor, suggesting potential mold issues, which detracted from my comfort. This was further compounded by unpleasant smells emanating from the pipes in the toilets and bathrooms throughout the hotel, including the pool and restaurant facilities. These issues certainly soured my experience. On a more positive note, the staff were delightful. Their friendliness and eagerness to assist made a significant difference to my stay. The standout feature of my visit was undoubtedly the pool bar service. The waitstaff were incredibly attentive, consistently clearing empty glasses from loungers and swiftly delivering drinks, allowing guests to relax and enjoy their time by the pool and on the beach without any hassle. The abundance of loungers and parasols meant that finding a spot to enjoy the sun was never a challenge. As for dining, I was pleasantly surprised by the food options available. The buffet offered a wide variety of dishes that catered to different tastes, and I generally found the quality to be satisfying.

Manzoor Begum

Absolutely beautiful resort, really does grow on you. Do not be fooled by the photos of you think it looks old, this is all by design to capture the Tunisian culture with Mahdia being a smaller seaside town. Service and customer experience has been amazing, had an issue which was swiftly resolved with our needs being taken care off. The restaurant manager even hosted us for private family meal in the Al La Carte restaurant for my nieces birthday as we was a large group. Highly recommend for families!! Star friends were amazing for the kids also keeping them entertained throughout the day and the evening.

Absolutely AMAZING experience at Iberostar Royal El Mansour in Mahdia! This hotel is simply out of this world! From the moment we arrived, we felt like royalty. Everything was perfect — the rooms were spotless and spacious, the food was delicious with so many tasty options every day, and the entire hotel is just stunning. You can really feel the 5-star quality in every little detail. But what truly made our vacation unforgettable were the ANIMATORS — especially RAMOS! He is the heart and soul of this place! Always full of energy, good vibes, and genuine kindness. He made every day full of laughter, fun, and unforgettable memories. The entertainment team is TOP-NOTCH — the shows, the games, the activities… we never wanted the day to end! If you’re looking for the perfect holiday, this is the place. I can’t recommend it enough — we’re already dreaming about coming back! Thank you Iberostar Mahdia, and thank you RAMOS — you are a legend!

I recently stayed at Mövenpick Hotel Jumeirah Beach with my family and had an overall excellent experience. The location is fantastic—right on The Walk in JBR, surrounded by restaurants, shops, and just steps away from the beach. It’s ideal for both leisure and business travelers. The rooms were spacious (although with 2 adults and 2 children it was a bit tight), with a modern design and a balcony. I appreciated the little details like the complimentary bottled water, and the high-quality toiletries. Service throughout the hotel was top-notch. The staff were consistently polite, helpful, and attentive without being intrusive. Check-in and check-out were smooth. The breakfast buffet offered a generous variety of both international and local dishes—fresh, well-prepared, and constantly replenished. The beach access through their partner area was convenient and came with towels and loungers. If I had to point out anything, the elevators could be a bit slow during peak times, but it was a minor inconvenience in an otherwise very comfortable stay. Would definitely recommend Mövenpick The Walk for anyone looking to enjoy the best of Dubai’s JBR area with the comfort and service you’d expect from a five-star brand.

I would like to thank you very much for my next stay at your hotel. This place is very special for me in terms of cleanliness, nice atmosphere and professional service. I pay special attention in this opinion to the Restaurant and all the staff, waiters, cooks do very hard work, they are very professional. One of the waiters named Abdel made my morning coffee always taste delicious and the day at work was pleasant. 5 stars for Movenpick!!! best regards to all. See you in 2 months

I spent a total of around four months at the Mövenpick Jumeirah Beach Hotel during two business stays, and I was impressed every time. The hotel staff were consistently friendly and helpful. What stood out to me the most was during my second visit – many of the staff still remembered my name, which truly made me feel at home. The breakfast buffet was very diverse and absolutely delicious – there’s something for everyone. The rooms were always clean and well-maintained, with two bottles of water provided daily – perfect for cooling down from the Dubai heat. A truly great hotel with excellent service – I’ll gladly return!

It was a very unique experience – the service was above my expectations. The reception team was extremely professional, especially Ayatollah, who was exceptionally kind, attentive, and made sure every detail of our stay was perfect. Despite the old rooms and traditional design of the hotel, it offers the highest levels of hospitality. The staff’s dedication, warmth, and attention to detail truly set this place apart. It’s rare to find such genuine care and professionalism

We stayed at Le Royal Meridien and had a really good experience overall. The hotel has huge grounds, which is great for parents with kids — lots of space, greenery, and plenty of room to enjoy without feeling cramped. The service from the staff was excellent, super attentive and always ready to help. Special mention to the fact that they were very generous with still water, which is often a small but annoying issue in other 5-star hotels — here, we never had to ask twice and were always well stocked. The resort has three big swimming pools, so whether you want a lively atmosphere or a quieter spot, you’ll find your place. It’s definitely a family-friendly hotel, but there are still calm areas for those who just want to relax. One thing we didn’t love was the so-called sea view room in the new tower. The view turned out to be more of the harbour, buildings, and some construction — not exactly the sea view we expected. On the positive side, the room itself was lovely, modern, and very comfortable, and when we mentioned the view, the staff kindly gave us a free upgrade, which we really appreciated. Breakfasts were great, with a wide variety, and there are plenty of restaurants on-site for those who don’t want to leave the resort. Overall, it’s a very comfortable and well-run hotel, perfect for families or anyone looking for a relaxed getaway with great service.

We had the best week at Le Royal Meridien, it was our first time in Dubai and we’re so glad we chose this hotel to come to. My husband has status with Marriott so we knew we were going to be well looked after but I couldn’t believe how above and beyond everyone went. The concierge were so attentive especially when I left my phone in the taxi, they were so helpful at getting it back and so quickly. We had breakfast in the downstairs buffet and the Royal Club lounge, the choice of options in both were amazing. Lunch at the beach bars was always delicious and well priced. The Indian restaurant at the hotel was incredible, I wish we had visited more of the hotels restaurants because they looked amazing. We loved the vast selection of sun loungers on offer especially the adults only section on the grass it was perfect. The gym was amazing, a good selection of high-end equipment with amazing views. The hotel is in an excellent location close to JBR, the Marina and close to all other attractions by car. When we return to Dubai the Meridien is exactly we will stay, there is no second option.

Great hotel that does everything well. The lounge access is well worth it if a little too busy at times. It is obvious that many guests are regulars which is a good sign. Quite a quiet hotel that is aimed at the older guest market
