Reviews of Aliv stone suites & spa 4 stars

Spectacular views

Not good value for money. Way too expensive for what we got! The location and views were spectacular but the whole suite and hotel was 3 star but charging 5 star prices!

The staff were very friendly, especially Joe! The pool was nice and the room was absolutely perfect for a family of five with three small children (8, 5 and 2). The mezzanine structure of the room worked very well. We were only at the property for two nights ahead of moving to Peligoni and it was the perfect extension of our trip.

Nothing.

Very sweet, warm and inviting!

This was an absolutely amazing experience. The location, although remote, is fabulous. The sea is turquoise, secluded beach, rugged and beautiful scenery. The service is superb. So welcoming, assistance with all questions. Very attentive and personal. This place is so warm. In my 12 years with booking, this is my second review. And I decided to leave it because this trip was outstanding, thanks to Aliv Suitss. Thank you, guys ❤️

Everything! The pool, the beach bar, the location, the staff, all fantastic

Simply the Best on the Island! If someone asked me what the best part of the island was, I would have to say it was staying at this hotel. It was an absolutely unique and unforgettable experience for us. We were incredibly lucky to have the most stunning beach and sea right here at the hotel. The rooms were very clean, spacious, and all had a magnificent sea view. The design and architecture of the hotel were very stylish and modern. Most importantly, the owners and staff made us feel like we were staying at a friend's home. Every single person was so hospitable, helpful, and kind. We'd like to extend a huge thank you to everyone, especially Joe, Lena, Ria, Teo, Melina, Costa, and Pitt, for making our vacation exceptional. We also want to give a big shout-out to the Housekeeping team for keeping our room spotless every single day. A lovely bonus was that the hotel is pet-friendly, and we were greeted by two wonderful dogs, Balu and Ofia, in the lobby every day. They were the owners' dogs and were so adorable—we already miss them! The hotel breakfast was great, especially the cheese pie, which was absolutely delicious! If we ever return to this island, it would be just to see the amazing staff again and to swim in the sea we fell in love with. Until we meet again. We send you all our love from Italy!

The only minor point was that the restaurant food could have been better. For a hotel of this class and luxury, the taste of the dishes was a bit lacking. We hope they improve this in the future so it can truly be a perfect hotel.

This is a very beautiful hotel at a dream location. The view over the sea is just spectacular. The hosts and the whole team were always very friendly, kind and helpful. Thank you very much!

At the beach, we would have loved the sound of the sea and the cicadas from time to time - instead of the music, but this is a matter of taste ;-)

Gorgeous place and amazing host!! The room, beach and the service were excellent. Definitely we will come again , highly recommended.

Rooms and facilities were very nice, the location is great - beautiful water and views.

The staff were incredibly rude to my mother as she was trying to manoeuvre her car into the relatively tight parking bay, around the Hotel’s golf cart which was parked in the way of the car park entrance. She ended up very gently hitting a low lying bumper on the corner of a planter box (going a very slow speed so that minimal damage was done to the planter box and no damage to her rental car). However, two of the staff yelled at her, accused her of being a drunk driver (which she absolutely was not), then proceeded to demand that they watch the incident on CCTV and that she “own up” - when it was clear what had happened and that minimal damage if any was done to the hotel. We clarified if they wanted us to pay for any damage done to the hotel as we would have been happy to, and that was not their issue. The tone of the staff and their family members was extremely accusatory and rude. They also started pointing to damage that was pre-existing on the back of the rental car and claiming that the damage had been caused by my mum’s wheel hitting the planter box (when there is no way this impact could have caused damage to the back bumper). We were willing to put this incident behind us, but when we dropped the car back to the rental company at the airport, the hotel had emailed the rental car company and taken photos of the “damage” to the rental car (which hadn’t been caused by my mum) and had told the rental company that my mum was drunk driving their vehicle (which was also wrong and completely defamatory). We were appalled at this behaviour (which was a clear retaliation / escalation ) from the staff of the hotel. We would expect much better from anyone in a service industry but particularly at a small high end family run hotel. Additionally the main pool was out of order for 5 of the 7 days that we were staying at the hotel in mid August (with temperatures around 35 C each day).

Beautiful, peaceful, and very private location in the best part of the island. Beautifully designed, new, traditional yet contemporary, with private beach. Amazing! Already visited twice! Owners are awesome.

There is nothing I didn’t like.

We were mesmerized by the infinity pool and the optical illusion of crossing into the sea. The breakfasts were excellent - local cheeses, fruit. Yum.

Why have a stove when I don't have a pot, I don't have a wooden spoon, I don't have a fork or a knife and I don't have a plate to eat it on. For real. I would only expect that if there is a kitchen in the apartment - whether small or not, that such basic things as cutlery would be there. The access to the sea from the hotel is not suitable for small children, you go straight from the jetty into the sea. Or from rocky parts. Overall, I would recommend the accommodation for a wonderful experience. What I regret is - how expensive their additional services are. Airport pickup for €120, three-hour cruise for two people €300, two-kilometer pickup €30. You can eat in the hotel restaurant for twice the price and unfortunately they don't have a very large selection of local cuisine, for example they don't offer gyros. But they have a burger and pizza 🫣.. When leaving early, we requested a breakfast package for departure the day before. We got breakfast for 3 people which didn't fill even one. It was kinda sad.

Nice location, private beach / bay beautiful. Rooms were spacious

Family run business so not very professional. Pool was out of order our entire stay in 35 degrees heat, we had young babies so too dangerous for them to swim in sea as there is no safe entry. Took them 7 days to get professional in to fix the pool so we never got to use it during our stay. Which was disappointment for our family holiday to Greece with young toddler in that heat! Some staff were nice but others were rude & argumentative .. in general did not offer up solutions to problems (we had to really push them). Way too pricey for the level of professionalism and facility - terrible value for money

The website and the beds

Pool not open full of algae, hot tub on room terrace not working, Fawlty Towers service, not enough facilities for the number of guests, beach bar cramped with v loud drums and bass music….and

It is a boutique hotel with upscaled guests. The view is absolutely amazing and breakfast is good. The sea deck is nice as you can jump into deep water and enjoy the crystal clear water with many fish.

It runs by a family which lacks customer service - we had severe ants issue in the child's bed, and their initial response was if we could handle it ourselves until the cleaning lady will come in the morning. The hotel lacks maintainence - pool shower doesn't work and no one at the bar, the room wall hung toilet was placed on a wooden brick, the soap holder was broken and rusty, balcony had a non-fuctional giant jacuzzi (not part of the advertised room facilities, but take much space and view). Breakfast is served in a balcony with no air conditioning except few small fans. The road to the hotel is not paved, and very steep. The prices for the services in the hotel are very high (Hamburger costs 32 euro???).

The location of the hotel is objectively beautiful. Our room was spacious, clean, with a gorgeous view of the sea.

The location is pretty isolated, and the dirt road is extremely steep and unpaved, with no lighting at all, making every ride extremely dangerous and stressful. The breakfast room is basically nonexistent, guests have breakfast in a hot terrace, and no internal, air conditioned room is provided as an alternative for guests who don’t like to be bathed in sweat when eating. The staff seemed nice and hardworking, while the owners showed an unprofessional attitude towards both the guests and the staff. The access to the beach is steep and unpractical, the inclination makes it really hard for people to get to the beach, and there is no stairs or whatsoever. Finally, the pool bar had no staff, and seemed quite abandoned and dusty. For the high value of money that we paid, the service was absolutely not worth it.

Amazing owner team with a very hard-working staff. Great food and PLENTY of it! A stunning exclusive beach club with the best frozen margaritas. What's not to like!

Room description was slightly wrong in the Booking.com website so we were initially not happy with a room without a pool (the description did say a stunning pool with a view but turned out these were different units and not the one we had booked). Nevertheless, our room was fabulous and the rest of the stay made totally up for the initial confusion!

The beach was great, the water was clean and had a beautiful color. The possibility to have a private boat tour to blue caves and shipwreck. The personnel was very friendly (room cleaning (specially the boy), beach and bar) and the rooms were extremely big with beautiful view.

The breakfast room was not closed and air conditioned. The water of the swimming pool was not that clear and no personnel at the swimming pool bar. The coffee in the morning from the machine not so good. Not possibility to have fresh fish at restaurant.Too much wasps in the morning. First days a strong smell in the toilet.

The rooms, the pools, the beach bar were all fabulous. The staff was tremendous and hardworking, always greeted you with a smile and accommodated us with anything we needed. The food was great as well!

the location was pretty isolated

This property is gorgeous, the views are stunning! Everything is of the highest standard with all you need at your fingertips. The stand out would have to be the staff & their attention to detail. For a holiday with children it was perfect. We all had a wonderful time, I would definitely return.

Nothing I loved it.

The setting was nice but getting there was horrible as you are required to drive down a steep curvy unsealed Road which is really more suitable for four-wheel drives. The view was excellent and so was the swimming in the sea which is accessed via the resort.

Access to the property is difficult with an every day European Sedan, the staff were very helpful but they looked to be a bit understaffed and highly stressed, the staff really lacked professionalism, the shower leaked onto the bathroom floor requiring towels all the time and there seemed to be an issue with The sewage drainage which presented an odour into the bathroom and main-bedroom, considering the cost of this accommodation the bathrooms are very tight and lacking space, the main restaurant couldn’t provide our freddo coffee as the coffee machine was broken. This place was not cheap and considering the accommodation and the Service it did leave us disappointed.

We are a family of 5 and booked a Maisonette with Sea View. Plenty of space and spectacular view. The staff were friendly and very attentive.

Nothing negative about the hotel but be mindful that you will need a car if you are staying in the area. Not a walkable region in general.

That the hotel has his own beach with a sand

Prices - 19 euro for mousaka

This was the perfect honeymoon hotel!! The place was amazing, but the staff were by far the best part!! Everyone was so friendly and accomodating and kind, we cannot recommend this place enough!!!! Having our own little private beach was also amazing!

Absolutely nothing - it was perfect!!!
