"The rooms were lovely and clean. They were basic compared with the rest of the hotel, they could have done with some more storage or drawers.
Food was good, entertainment was great, the children’s pool was a little small but done the job and there was always sun beds. I’d happily go back and I never usually say that"

"Generally a positive review especially the staff who were excellent. Family friendly with food surprisingly good for an all inclusive, a notch down from restaurant quality but good value for the overall price. Facilities otherwise excellent which are clearly geared for children with the exception of the ‘quiet pool’ (one of four pools).
Negatives as follows:
Bar area poor, no adult vibe whatsoever with simple tables and hard chairs located next to the children’s play area which tends to be...

"The room was clean and the staff can’t do enough for you. Everyone was very attentive and the food/drink options are fantastic. The hotel is busy so it can be hard to get a sun bed after 10:30am but overall it is a very beautiful place to visit."

"As a family traveling with our child and staying in many beautiful five-star hotels around the world, we can honestly say that this hotel has everything you could ask for. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, the food and cocktails are delicious, and every member of the staff very friendly and kind.
What impressed us the most is that the all-inclusive experience is clearly created with genuine care rather than as an afterthought. There is an incredible variety of food and drinks, ensuring...

"It's a great hotel for families, offering excellent facilities and amenities, good food, comfortable rooms, and easy access to several beautiful beaches.
The only downside was that complimentary drinking water wasn't provided. Having to purchase bottled water separately was disappointing and felt out of place for an all-inclusive hotel. Other than that, we had a very enjoyable stay."

"I enjoyed my vacation at Lyda Club Hotel. The room was so clean. The sheets and towels were changed every day. The food which was buffet style was pretty good. I liked the snack bar where they had barbecue almost every evening. Sometimes they had pasta. Overall, it was good and convenient. The staff is nice and friendly. I recommend it. "

"The staff is outstanding. Everybody is nice and you feel a wish to « go the extra mile ». You want something they don’t have, the find a way. Absolutely no waiting time with the buggies as the staff are so numerous.
We had such a lovely time. The resort is indeed kid friendly however the « adult zones » create a bit of a weird feeling and there are not a lot of animation like some resort. You don’t go there for the animation, you go there for the extreme serenity provided by the beauty of the place.
Tips: ask for a buggy tour around the hotel. You should see everything, views are outstanding!"
"We had a wonderful stay at this hotel and would highly recommend it. We were delighted to be upgraded to a sea-view bungalow, which was absolutely amazing. The room was spacious, beautifully presented, and the view was simply breathtaking.
The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help, making our stay even more enjoyable. The food was excellent throughout our visit, with plenty of delicious options to choose from.
Overall, everything exceeded our expectations. The only minor downsides were that the beach area was quite small and there wasn’t any evening entertainment at the hotel. However, these were only small points and did not take away from what was an exceptional holiday.
We would definitely return and would happily recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing stay with outstanding service and beautiful surroundings."
"The welcome at the hotel was outstanding, being welcomed back as friends, as one of their family along with the food quality, makes staying at the Alexandros a genuine and authentic Greek experience. The cleanliness of the hotel, the rooms and communal areas is outstanding. Pool is lovely and never an issue in getting a sun bed, there was always plenty spare.The family (Maria, Paul and Litsa) work incredibly hard to run a lovely, authentic Greek family run hotel, but is there heart and soul that they put into your care, that really shines through."
Aquila Elounda Village Resort, Suites & Spa - Adults Only
10/10 Excellent
"An absolutely stunning property with the most proactive, helpful and attentive staff I've ever seen at a resort.
Other reviews already highlight how beautiful the resort is, so thought I'd leave specific info about accessibility, as it was a lot better than I anticipated from previous info online. My wife uses a wheelchair, although can manage short distances/a few steps. Although the resort is on a slope with multiple tiers, most of the grounds are feasible for a wheelchair; going from main reception to the bungalows, most communal grounds and the route towards the beach are all slopes. To get down to the beach and the beach bar itself, there are maybe 10 steps. Similarly, to get to the buffet restaurant, there are a few steps.
If you're in a situation like us, where a wheelchair is generally needed but a few steps are manageable, don't let it put you off the resort. The staff were SO helpful and kind. They pre-emptively offered taking us on the golf cart, let us park our car next to the reception, always found ways to make trips easier and even, the night before we were set to leave, had the hotel repairman repair a loose screw on the wheelchair!
I can't thank the staff enough for their support; they made us feel completely relaxed and as though we had to make no compromises even with accessibility needs. Thank you."
"We had a great experience at the Phaea Blue hotel. Staff were very friendly and helpful and the hotel is in virtually new condition. Food was excellent and the private beach, though pebbles (not sand) is very convenient. Wouldn't hesitate to return."
