We stayed at anika 13th-27th of September, we have stayed here before back in 2015 so new what to expect but both of us where not prepared for how much this hotel has changed in a positive way. Staff. Another area this hotel nails it the staff are simply amazing and so friendly and helpful, they genuinely make you feel like one of the family this vibe runs of on other guests and helps create such a chilled out friendly vibe to the entire hotel. Special mention to Jessica,Alex and valentine who worked tirelessly throughout stay and made us feel so welcome. We sincerely hope you are still working here when we return next year. Food. I’ll start with the one thing this hotel excels at its food. We stayed half board. The breakfast is a lovely buffet affair with a selection of cooked and cold choices with fresh juice and coffee. Evening meals are a 3 course table service. You choose from 2 mains the day before. We had starters ranging from soup, Greek salad, stuffed peppers and Couscous never the same starter and mains ranging from gyros plate, belly pork,fish,pizza souvlaki all freshly cooked and delicious. We also ate a number of meals here during the day from the snack menu the the club sandwich and salads are amazing as is there pork gyros. Rooms. Your typical Greek rooms although extremely large we stayed in room 323 which was on the top floor with sea view, beds where massive and very comfortable, have tv,kettle,fridge and plenty of storage space. They are cleaned every 2 days with fresh bedding and towels provided. The bathrooms have been recently upgraded to a decent standard. Overall it was a pleasant space to relax a sleep which is all you need on a holiday. Pool area. The pool area is small but fantastic there’s plenty of sunbeds available for everyone, it gets sun throughout the day and has a lovely chilled out vibe to it and a great pool bar overlooking it. Location. Perfectly situated a 5 minute walk away from the main life of the resort but quiet enough to not be disturbed by it. Overall we had a fantastic holiday and will be booking to return next year, there are better looking hotels on the island but you will struggle to find one that makes you feel so relaxed and part of the family. We’d like to thank everyone that made our holiday what it was and look forward to seeing you all next year. Richard&michelle room 323

We stayed as a couple for 10 nights half board and its a lovely little hotel, I'd stay again in a heartbeat. Pros Fantastic staff, the way they all seemed to gel together and have so much fun at work was really nice to see. Never once saw one staff member looking like they didn't want to be there, they seemed to always be having a great time and that is really nice to see. Food was excellent, the buffet breakfast was presented beautifully and again the breakfast staff went above and beyond. Evening meals seemed to be cut down versions of the restaurants menu and I cannot fault it one bit. As someone's previously mentioned, yes a lot of it was cheaper versions of what paying customers were receiving but all the more better for it in my opinion. We ate things we would never have ordered had we been in a restaurant and I've come home with at least half a dozen new favourite Greek dishes. We ate at a few highly rated restaurants during our stay and the food at Anika surpassed every single one. Nice room, good shower, hairdryer, fridge. Aircon was pricey but decent. Bar area at night time round the pool is great, nice and relaxed with some really good lighting. Can sit there all night if you want a nice chilled evening, it's perfect. Cons Pool was a bit enclosed, lovely and clean with nice loungers but sometimes felt a bit hemmed in. It's a typical Greek hotel, some things were a bit rough round the edges. The room door was a bit awkward, the bathroom smelled a few times from the drains. Sometimes the corridors looked in need of a good sweep. The balcony wasn't very good etc.... If your the kind of person who likes to pick fault then you'll probably find plenty but in that case Greece is probably not the place for you. Greece for me is about hospitality and this place has nailed it. I'd stay there again without a shadow of a doubt Even with the few bad points it's gotta be a 5/5 for me based on the food and service. Would return tomorrow

We had such a lovely holiday at Anika studios. We got a very good deal through easyjet holidays £820 for the two of us for a week including a taxi transfer and breakfast. We ate at the hotels restaurant for dinner 3 times as the food and staff were lovely. We didn’t use the pool at all as we spent a lot of time at the beach but it looked nice and there was always sunbeds when we passed. The room was cleaned every other day and was perfect for our needs although the cooking facilities weren’t that good if you did want to cook for yourself. There is a fridge freezer take an ice cube tray if you want to make ice. We were ground floor but did notice there is no lift. We paid on arrival for air conditioning which we were expecting and the safe was free which was a bonus. Air con was really good so well worth paying for. The breakfast buffet was really nice, a small amount of cooked eggs bacon etc, fruit, yogurt and pastries. Overall we had a fab time and would definitely return.
