Athina Palace Resort & Spa

We stayed for 1 week and all in all it was a beautiful experience. I’d start with the positives: the location is incredible, postcard views of the bay, blue water, amazing vegetation. The resort is bungalow style and it’s great because you feel very private - you get to walk a lot and that is healthy in an all inclusive setting ;). The rooms are comfortable, very clean with a minimalist design. The shower is great. I want to extend a special thank you to the staff (reception & restaurant) - they are very service minded and if anything is not working just call the reception and it will get fixed: room exchange, amenities etc- top! There are 2 a la carte restaurants - worth trying out, the view and service is even better. I would like to address some improvement points: the rooms could use small upgrades like wall hooks in the room to hang some clothes and shelves in the wardrobes- sadly we only had coat hanger rails… not practical. The food: all in all it was good but you could make some improvements on the pastries& pies: everything was under-cooked, the pizza was not good despite a very good oven. Personally, I would remove it from the menu: it’s Greece, not Italy, you have such amazing local food. There was A LOT of choice and ideally you would focus more on less choice & better quality. Recycling: all drinks by the pool were served in non-recyclable paper cups - not only do they look cheap, the drinks taste worse. A transparent reusable plastic cup system would be much classier and environmentally friendlier (it’s a 5-star resort..). Same for the water: why not install water fountains in the resort and provide all guests with reusable water bottles instead of giving out 1 x 0.5L plastic bottle / day/ person? Thank you for a very good week and for such kind staff - you make the real difference! Bianca

It was a beautiful experience. Thank you Thanos, Maria! 🤗 and the beautiful redheaded barmaid 🫶 and actually ALL the staff, as well as the people in the kitchen who made every meal delicious and unique. The woman (forgot to ask your name 💔) at the car hire desk in the lobby was also extremely friendly, charging 55 euros for a day’s hire for an automatic car. You all played an equal part in making my stay so, so happy and enjoyable, and you added to the perfect feeling of being cared for in such a beautiful environment. Thanks 💕

The views at this hotel are absolutely stunning, but unfortunately that’s where the positives end. All of the activities, such as pool tables and basketball arcade games, cost extra, which was really disappointing. The entertainment is honestly a complete joke—I wouldn’t even call it entertainment. The entertainment staff were rude and seemed uninterested in their jobs. This hotel is clearly aimed at French guests. As an English guest, we felt treated very differently, which made us feel unwelcome throughout our stay. The food was average at best, and the all-inclusive drinks were the worst I’ve experienced. The selection is very poor, and if you want a proper cocktail, you have to pay extra. It feels like everything comes with an additional charge. We stayed for 10 days, and for the amount of money we paid, it simply wasn’t worth it. If you’re looking for a fun, friendly, and genuinely all-inclusive holiday, I wouldn’t recommend this hotel. Sadly, I definitely wouldn’t return.

The rooms are spectacular, offering beautiful views, and depending on your reservation, they may also come with a shared pool. The food is rich and good, but the only thing lacking is the drinks. Especially if you’re on the all-inclusive package, you’ll mostly be drinking flavoured water rather than proper cocktails. Be prepared to do quite a bit of walking around the resort, but hitchhike the bus whenever you get the chance—it’ll save you the walk. Good vibes overall, the staff is friendly, and renting a car is easy. Overall, the resort is very accommodating

I highly recommend Athina Palace Resort and Spa! This hotel is incredibly beautiful and spacious, making it easy to enjoy long walks around the property. We celebrated our honeymoon here and were completely satisfied with our experience. The staff is wonderful and always ready to help. Our room was clean and beautifully appointed. The food was delicious and offered a great variety. We enjoyed walking to the beach, but there is also transportation available if you prefer. The sea and the beach were pristine and well-maintained. Additionally, there are bars by the pool and on the beach, enhancing our relaxation. Thank you, Athina Palace Resort and Spa, for an unforgettable stay!
