Me and my partner (both in our 20s) stayed at The island hotel in May 2024. We throughly enjoyed our visit here, and would recommend this to people looking for a more quiet and relaxing break away. Food/restaurants: we stayed half board meaning we had access to the M kitchen (buffet) every morning and evening. • The breakfast was a range between cooked foods, fruits/veg, bread/pastries and plenty granola options. Fruit juices,water, coffee and tea are also served free of charge. • The dinner time buffet was also filled with different foods each night following a theme this included Greek, Mediterranean, Asian and many more between the 7 days. Along with this they always have a pizza station with different pizza/garlic bread every evening. Fresh bread available at dinner time as-well. Along with dinner came deserts, there was plenty of options from fruit, yogurts, smoothies, cakes and pastry’s. Although with dinner there are no drinks served with half board, so even water you will need to pay for unlike breakfast. Pools/spa facilities: we went to all three pools in the facility. • Our favourite pool was the pool by the Tholos bar, they played music from around lunch time meaning you were able to talk and chat around the pool and also play card games. • The other 2 pools did not appeal to us as they were extremely quiet and definitely made for those who would like to relax without talking. •spa facilities were offered onsite, with some days being at a discounted price, we never used the spa facilities. Cleaners/staff: • The cleaners and staff here were helpful and polite throughout our time here, the cleaners would come between 9am-11am so if you are someone who likes a lay in I would double check your door is locked otherwise they will just walk in However the rooms were always clean upon arriving back at our hotel room. A nice touch was a bottle of water given everyday by the cleaners. • it is important to note that the hotel is very big and you will need to follow the map to find where your room is however the hotel staff were helpful and showed us to our room and even brining our cases up the stairs. Air-con: • our Air-con was amazing throughout our stay, the lowest temperature is 16 degrees and it worked well to keep the room cool. Please note the Air-con will not work with the balcony door open or ajar. Shop/mini market: • within the facility there is a little shop that contains all the necessities such as snacks, drinks, ice cream, souvenirs, bags, purses, sun cream. The people working in there were welcoming and polite every time we visited. Location: • The hotel is located on the beach front which is absolutely lovely, if you are tired of the pools then you can cross the main road over to the Beach. However the Hotel is located 20 minutes away from the airport, if yous re a light sleeper I would not recommend this hotel for you. Every 30 minutes throughout the day and night there will be planes flying over
