The interior and decoration of my bungalow was perhaps a little bit dated but I guess some other bungalows have been renovated. The TV set was a little bit old, the toilets are one of those in glass all over, of which I am not a big fan, but that was not a major problem. The cocktails, the dinner / lunch buffet and the buffet drinks (that we have to pay on the side) are a little bit expensive, but everything is of very good quality. The only thing that I think really must be changed is the fact that they give you your beach cocktail/beer on a paper glass, they could use reusable plastic glasses instead.

Extremely beautiful and well cared resort, idyllic landscape and very calm sea, I stayed in a very beautiful bungalow with sea view, and near the pools, but I imagine even the bungalows with garden view are very good. Ideal place to rest and disconnect from everything.

Beach was the best!!!

The all-inclusive concept in the a la carte restaurants was a bit unusual and complex since the majority of the foods and drinks weren't actually included. Still, the open buffet didn't have the same problem, so overall, it was okay.

We stayed at Aquilia Hotel on an all-inclusive basis and absolutely loved our experience! The food was excellent — not only the buffet, but also three different à la carte restaurants where all-inclusive guests can enjoy selected dishes for free. One of the best parts was the amazing staff. Every single team member, from the reception to the restaurants and the beach, was always smiling, friendly, and genuinely interested in how we were doing. Despite the hot weather, they worked tirelessly and with such great energy. Special thanks to everyone at the Mirabello Restaurant and to Konstantinos for everything! The hotel is large enough that it never feels crowded or chaotic. It’s right by the sea, and the beach area with sunbeds is spotless. The beach staff are attentive and regularly check if you need anything. A huge thank you to Zia at the beach bar — she always made everyone’s day brighter and created such a great atmosphere there. We also joined the Ouzo tasting at the beach bar, which was a fantastic experience. Our room was spacious, spotless, and cleaned daily. The architecture of the hotel means there are quite a lot of stairs between the rooms and the sea, which is something to keep in mind, but it didn’t bother us. Lunch at the buffet was particularly delicious — I really enjoyed the midday menu. One evening, there was a Greek Night with a dance team, live Greek music, and a full spread of traditional dishes. It ended with everyone — guests and staff — dancing together, which was such a memorable moment. The sea here is beautiful, calm, and crystal clear. I also loved the hotel’s app, which lets you order food and drinks, book activities, and make reservations online — a great use of technology to make things even easier. Thank you to the whole team at Aquilia Hotel for making our stay so wonderful. With staff like this, success is guaranteed!

All good - there is nothing to mention here.

The room had an amazing view and was spacious and had everything you would need to have a great vacation. The view is one of the most impressive views we enjoyed in any hotel before. The staff was amazingly friendly and the best was the Blue Dolphins Diving Center.

A stunning hotel with courteous staff. We received excellent service and were always made sure to pamper us. This is a hotel worth visiting, first of all, thanks to the staff who work here and a very high-level hotel. There was nothing bad to say about this hotel.

Everything was great, nothing that we didn’t like!

We loved everything from start to finish. The whole experience was just beautiful, so calming. The hotel and the room was beyond our expectations, the staff and service was also amazing. I really recommend the room with infinity pool, the view is breathtaking! Even more beautiful than the pics, worth every penny. It was my mums birthday and without even asking, the staff gave us such a yummy cake and made the whole experience so sweet. I will definitely be coming back. Restaurants, Saint Nicholas adventure was all very satisfying as well.

Mysterious all inclusive pricing for a la carte restaurants. Cold swimming pools in September. Erratic house keeping routine.

Pretty village vibe. Quiet and peaceful. Lovely Greek night.

Due to us being half board everytime - water at the table was not included meaning every meal was €6 for sparkling water which added up.

Beautiful location and not overlooked by anyone with the private pool. Our room got upgraded upon arrive which came with may benefits and all the staff members were extremely helpful

The only thing that let the room down - the shower just leaked everywhere we either had to shower with the door open which meant showering in the same room as the toilet, or close the door and flood half the room. A small but easily fixed negative for the hotels reference. The lunch buffet is way overpriced if you are not all inclusive, we wanted to try it one day but it was 42 euros each. About what we paid for an alacarte meal.

The property and grounds are without a doubt beautiful. The staff are so incredibly friendly and welcoming. We had our a private pool shared with our neighbours who were in our group, we had requested this when we booked and were so pleased we got the two rooms together. The rooms were stunning, champagne and rose wine FOC on arrival plus midnight snacks available as we checked in late. The beach bar is stunning it's on a cliff edge looking over the bay and there are steps (easy steps) down to the beach. Loved every second of our holiday.

Location, quality of rooms, pool, great service.

I would have preferred a walk in shower to the bath with a shower since this entailed hopping over the bath to have a shower. I also would like to point out that while the design of the main pool is amazing I think it’s not very practical since there is very little area for loungers around it. I would also recommend taking beach shoes to access the sea from the sand since there are a number of large slippery stones before one gets to the deeper water

The open spaces and general layout of the property but most of all the friendliness, efficiency and congeniality of all the staff. Truly amazing!

Beach area would be better to have sand. Loungers needed at pools.

Excellent. Many choices. Hot food.

We booked a room with 2 beds but they gave us 1. But due to us having such a nice room and the poor porter bringing our heavy suitcases we didn’t bother changing it. It was still very comfortable.

Amazing hotel! It had absolutely everything you could think of. Bonus having a beach and a pool. The pool and beach area had plenty of space to find a bed. The staff were very attentive. When we arrived the bellman parked our car for us and another took our bags to our room. We also got a welcome drink on arrival which was a lovely surprise. Everyone was really helpful and nice. I just wish we had more time here.

Much bigger hotel than we expected. Neighbors were loud on their balcony when they got in late at night.
