We spent a week here as part of a package with jet2. We arrived late evening and were instantly made to feel welcome. After taking us to our room we were given a welcome drink and they made us a sandwich. This hospitality continued throughout the week. The hotel was lovely, amazing views. It was the last week of the season and was very quiet- sun beds were always available and the weather was lovely and warm. Our room was spotless and very spacious and I really appreciated the Nespresso machine. We enjoyed breakfast and also had a lovely meal at Tuna - the hotel restaurant. The hotel was closing for the season on the day we left . Our flight was not until the evening but we were allowed to leave our bags and were offered food to take to airport with us. The staff could not have done more - they really were fantastic. Afytos is lovely but if you come this late in the season be prepared for most of the cafes and restaurants to be closed. We still had lovely food and drinks in the bars and restaurants that were still open and the village was very peaceful and relaxing. It really is a beautiful spot and the hotel is a fantastic place to stay.

The hotel is in a fabulous location with wonderful views. We had room 335 which is actually a suite, very spacious. All the staff are absolutely lovely and very friendly. We stayed half board and were very happy with the food. We did eat out one evening just for a change. The menu didn’t change during the week but every day there were 2 specials- 1 starter and 1 main. Portions are large, I was constantly apologising for not eating everything! There is a kettle in the room but teas and coffee are not replenished. 4 coffee pods are provided free for the machine. There were 2 small niggles - the fridge was worse than useless, apart from the icebox at the top which did work to provide ice cubes. Twice we bought milk and both times it went off and solidified within 2 days! Also, the button on the shower which transfers the water flow from the handheld part to the overhead shower would often not stay in. We think that may be due to low pressure when a lot of people are showering.

“Autumn Break”

Well situated. Nice breakfast selection. Friendly staff. Food and drink in the hotel nice but very overpriced. Very shabby rooms. Hot water not very hot. A full length mirror needed. Unbelievably no mattress protector on the bed. This is not acceptable anywhere. A few broken tiles/steel strip… lisää

We booked this trip 8 months in advance for our honeymoon. Unfortunately, there was no information about what type of room we were getting, so I contacted the hotel directly shortly after booking to ask about it and the possibility of upgrading to a better room with a sea view or just a good room since there was zero information about it. I was told they didnt know either, but they would look it up and get back to us two weeks before arrival – but no one ever did. I thought that it would be great anyways since it is a 4 star hotel. When we arrived, it felt like we had been given the worst room in the hotel, and on the website it says "all rooms are updated".. well this room was outdated, ground floor, facing a noisy street. The bed was extremely hard, and the shower flooded the bathroom after just two minutes. Very bad standard. Not four star in any way. Staff added a mattress topper (more like a blanket), but the water issue remained unresolved. It rained for a few days wich is fine, but the cushions on the sunbeds were never removed – so even when the sun returned, they were unusable because you got soaked lying on them. On the positive side, the hotel’s location is stunning, with breathtaking views from the hillside. The breakfast was excellent, and the common areas were nice. Staff were kind, but overall we were disappointed that no effort was made to acknowledge our honeymoon, even though we reached out early and wanted to pay for an upgrade, to have an amazing time. It would have been nice if someone got back to us with information or whatever. The hotel restaurant was overpriced (€10 for a bowl of fries), if you want value for the money there are better options in the village. I've seen the previous reviews and can not understand the hype about the food in the restaurant... then of course we all have different preferences. The hotel has great potential, but the service and room experience didn’t live up to what we expected for such a special occasion or price to be honest. I think a four-star hotel should not even have rooms like that. Overall okey but nothing special except for the view.
