Lardos Bay

We are a family of four and wanted some beach and pool time for the kids in the midst of a busy holiday. The hotel and area delivered on this. Pool was lovely, beach just a short walk. Local town (a small cab ride away) had great restaurants. It's just over the hill from Lindos, an interesting tourist spot, but much quieter and pleasant. We loved these aspects. However the service at the hotel wasn't great. The room was extremely basic - not even coffee or tea facilities. We asked for a room with a view and received an email saying that was booked, but when we arrived we were on the ground floor with no view, and there was nothing else available. They also advertised as having laundry facilities - they didn't - just an expensive laundry service. Food in their restaurant was pretty dire. It's passable for breakfast, but make the trip to the town if you want genuine quality Greek food. On the plus side it was really clean, and the grounds were well maintained. In all fairness it served its purpose as a beach and pool stop - the kids were happy. Just needs to improve on its customer service and food quality.

Had a few problems about changing rooms, but the manager Mr. Yourry sorted all our problems out. Hotel facilities for families are great. Great Manager and great staff, we'll be back.

Stayed for 2 nights as a family group across 3 rooms. The rooms were all clean and appeared recently refurbished with good quality mattresses and showers. Each balcony had sliding fly screen enabling you to get some fresh air without letting the flies in. The pool area is clean with a bar which includes free soft drinks and plenty of entertainment including dancing lessons in the afternoon which were very popular. The evening entertainment in the bar varied dependant on taste but the bar was lively and welcoming and served late into the night with music and a friendly barman. Breakfast was included with our booking and was a buffet style breakfast on a lovely raised veradah with spectacular views across the mountains and sea. The sea is just a short walk away and the beach was being cleared of stones as we were there. The only down side was there is not much else close by however the beautiful village of Lardos is a short taxi ride away costing about €8. Definitely returning mainly due to all the staff who were so kind and friendly.

The hotel room was absolutely fine, however, we found the reception staff to be very unfriendly - surely your working day would be much nicer with a smile on your face and you never know, you may even receive one back. The lady in the shop was fabulous, also the cleaner smiled and said Good Morning too. The breakfast, albeit was titled complimentary, was not very good but at least something, once you fought your way through some very rude visitors - manners cost nothing but obviously this is not the fault of the hotel.
