“Excellent but a few tweaks needed”

We had a great stay at the Hotel, two adults a 16 year old and 11 year old. We arrived past mid night following flight delays and a belt issue at the airport (get a taxi 20 Euro, instead of waiting for coach) and were greeted very well by reception.

We had a great stay at the Hotel, two adults a 16 year old and 11 year old. We arrived past mid night following flight delays and a belt issue at the airport (get a taxi 20 Euro, instead of waiting for coach) and were greeted very well by reception. We had a junior suite which was ample size, but one of the kids beds was a converted sofa and rock hard, not ideal. The room over looked the pool. Rooms were modern in decor, issues noted - no where to hang wet towels in bathroom (might seem minor but a right pain) and the shower screen is too small so bathroom gets flooded. The pool and bar area, just WOW absolutely stunning. The hotel is going for an Ibiza/chill type vibe which actually works. Drinks (spirits and beer) are all main brand so no issues there, cocktails not so sure. We were not peak busy and still had morons securing sun-beds at 7am, by 9am pretty much gone (hotel really needs to clamp down on this). Gripe - NO bar snacks, NONE, was told to go to the shop! You need bar snacks! Restaurants, main one is buffet style BUT no concerns as food is amazing and plenty to choose from, the Italian and Greek and Wine again all perfect. TIP - pre book even before you go via hotel website, as get booked up! We used the indoor pool, gym and spa all adequate. All the hotel staff super helpful and friendly, cannot fault the service as it really is brilliant. Whilst at hotel we visited Symi Island, simply stunning and worth going, the Old town (which near by has some designer outlets) worth a visit - take a taxi 20 Euro! Lindos/Acropolis bit of a trek but again really worth it! The not so goods - Hotel has nothing, literally nothing near by apart from a small shop outside if you like a stroll you will be disappointed. The beach is not private despite being listed as, and it is not that great it’s a mix of rocks and black sand and again nothing on it. The hotel is on the airport flight path and planes do go over pretty much every two minutes, if this will annoy you it’s not for you. Evening entertainment shuts down at 10pm then that’s it nothing, the bars stay open but that’s pretty much it. The Q’s at the pool bar in the evening are shocking, it’s under staffed, this gets frustrating. You can get drinks delivered to you via a QR code BUT because under staffed takes to long. Last other gripe, the hotel states a dress code in the evening BUT saw mainly men in crocs, T-shirts, football tops. If you have a dress code stick to it. Overall is a really, really nice hotel one of the best we’ve stayed at, but iron out the niggles and it’s a 10/10 Hope that helps, overall a great stay at the Hotel.

“Slow and relaxing”

Great experience as a first timer very relaxing.

Our family had an absolutely wonderful stay at Electra Palace, and one of the biggest reasons was the incredible team looking after our children. A very special thank you to Fotini from the Mini Club. She is kind, patient, energetic, and truly has a gift with children. From the very first moment, she made our daughters feel safe, welcome, and excited to join the activities. We would also love to thank Christina from the Aqua Club. She was equally friendly, and full of positive energy. We hope to return soon, and we know one of the main reasons our girls will be so excited is because they’ll get to see Fotini and Christina again!

Third time visiting the Electra Palace, we came once in 2019,2024 and July 2026. All staff from the reception, bar staff, maintenance, entertainment team, restaurant staff are lovely and very accommodating. We were given room 1345 which had a spectacular view of the sea, we honestly could not fault the room. We arrived late and a sandwich was left for us in the fridge which we appreciated. Full mini bar and mini cakes left on the side for us. The room was spotless and the maids always replenished our towels daily (pool and room towels). The hotel itself is spotless. Staff work really hard to maintain the hotel and it really shows. The pool area has a lovely atmosphere, it’s not too loud, they have music playing during the day. We loved the beach, a beach bar with QR codes to order drinks to your sunbed on the beach was a fab touch. Food and Drink: The buffet restaurant always had fresh tasty food. The food was always hot and the restaurant was never too busy. We loved the gyros and pitta at lunch time and the Greek themed Buffet night. The Greek al a carte resturant was amazing. Staff were very accommodating in the Greek Tray club, a special thank you to Anna and a lovely blonde lady who was working there. Italian passage at lunch is a lovely option serving fab pizza and pastas which we enjoyed. We never found the buffet resturant boring they had a very good variety with good quality food. There is also an option to eat at the Italian resturant in the evening and visit the wine bar. The bar staff work incredibly hard, we enjoyed working our way through the cocktail menu, it’s nice to be served a cocktail in a real glass which they do in this hotel. We loved the blue Hawaii and the red velvet cocktail. The spritz bar always served lovely aperol spritz during the day. Strawberry and passion fruit were our favourite. We had noticed this year that there’s an option to order drinks via a QR code in the evening and in the day around the pool, which we loved. We can not recommend this hotel enough, we will definitely be coming back next year!
