If you are looking for a quiet, relaxing break, this hotel is perfect! We stayed in one of the Armonia Suites, on Full Board, which was lovely. As previously stated, you have an allocated sun-bed for your room number and the pool use is meant to be for residents of the Armonia Suites only! Staff are fabulous and a huge shout out to Jonathon in the restaurant and Maria, who greeted us every day in the restaurant. Food was plentiful and fresh. There was something available for everyone. One morning, my husband pointed out to one of the chefs that the porridge was too runny. They addressed this immediately and changed it! Desserts to die for! The two ladies (the sisters!) who took care of our room were fabulous! Excellent at anticipating our needs, without being intrusive. Thank you 🙏 You receive one free bottle of water in the room, upon arrival. After that, you have to purchase. However, if you go to the on-site shop, you can get 6 x a litre and a half, bottles of still water for around €5! Be aware that there is nothing much around the hotel. You will need to hire a car, if you like to get out and about. If you want a pleasant stroll, we turned left out of the hotel and walked for approximately 2 miles. Beautiful scenery, totally unspoilt. Paths down to secluded beaches along the way. There is a beach at the hotel, which accessible via a tunnel or by crossing the road. The tunnel is well signposted and well lit. Please do not be put off by the thought of a ‘tunnel’. It is very nicely tiled and clean. If you prefer to cross the ‘road’, it is so easy. Not a major road and as busy as 2 vehicles an hour!! There are bus services in to the local towns. We went on a boat tour, which was fabulous and great value. Guest services are very helpful at the hotel. On the whole, lovely hotel, fabulous staff and very relaxing. Would definitely recommend and would love to return. Oh and if you love kittens, you will be in heaven 🥰

“Really enjoyed this hotel”

First of all,if you are from the UK,this is not like a 5 star that you are used to there,I’d say it’s a good 4 star,but nonetheless a great hotel.

First of all,if you are from the UK,this is not like a 5 star that you are used to there,I’d say it’s a good 4 star,but nonetheless a great hotel. We spent a week here during the second week of September, staying at the Armonia suites which was very peaceful. The room was large and opened up to the swimming pool area,with two sunbeds specifically for your room number,so no mad dash for a sunbed in the morning. We were full board,yes it’s a self serve buffet style,but the food was very good,big shout out to the pastry chef as well. I think the biggest asset this hotel has is the staff, special shout out to Anastasis at the pool bar,brilliant guy who knows how to look after guests,also Maria who checked us into the restaurant every day,so professional and polite. If I could of remember all the staff names then I would of named them, every one that worked the restaurant and bars were brilliant,so happy ,hard working and professional The only two negatives for the hotel are,no iron in the room and only one free water bottle per stay, personally I’ve never had this in 5 star hotel. Think management needs to rethink this ! All in all a tranquil lovely hotel with amazing sunset views

My family and I had spent 11 marvelous days in Athena Pallas resort. Everyone, from the reception desk through restaurant staff ti cleaning ladies , were wonderful and guest oriented. Very kind and helpful but professional. We were at a Grand suite and I may say that it is a great experience-from size of the room to large balcony, comfy bed , two toilets, perfectly silent air conditioning. Cleaned everyday with care of our things that were on the floor. Restaurant offered great variety of food and sweets for both meals( we had HB), attentive staff, quality and taste of food was excellent ( not to much seasoning but one was offered plenty of spices to adjust to it’s own taste) ad well as variety of it with more than enough sea food for dinner. Compliments to the chef and all kitchen staff. Pool was very nice and pool bar personnel were kind and helpful even bringing drinks and snacks on the beach. Beach was very near, the passage to it is beautifully done and kept clean, with showers so one can clean before going back to hotel. Beach itself is a bit small for all the guest wishing to enjoy it but beautiful. With natural shade, excellent sunbeds and chairs offered. Maybe APResort could ask to extend it’s umbrellaa ok the right side of the beach( sunbeds were already there😉). It would be a freat addition to all of us wishing to enjoy morning coffee at this beautiful, quite beach with impeccably clean water. It is a pebble beach but they are small pebbles and i prefer it to sand( can never get sand out of my hair). It was offered to change beach towels everyday . Resort itself is nicely and thoughtfully configured with a lot of greenery with children playground, tennis court and even pet kingdom( we travelled with our dog and ben there quite a few times😉). As for the other entertainment we had options for gym and joga lessons, spa facilities and guided tours which were optional. All in all we had beautiful vacation at the Hotel and plan to come back next year. We would recommend it to everyone✨
