I wouldn't recognise the Hylatio Tourist Village from some of the Reviews that have been left. This is our second visit and we would happily go again. We asked for the same room as last time and they were able to accommodate us. Yes, the apartment is dated, the beds on the firm side and the whole apartment could do with a bit of TLC and makeover, but it was more than adequate for our needs. Having limited mobility, I found the over the bath shower difficult to cope with and in this day and age, I feel that to be more inclusive of disabled people, the bath should be removed and a walk in shower installed. But I knew that and it was a compromise I was happy to make because we like the place very much. It's not huge which is what we prefer. The site has a washing machine and tumble dryer. A wash is €4 and tumble dry is €2, which is very reasonable. It also has a 'library' of books where you can help yourself to a holiday read. All the staff, including the owner were very friendly. They will help you with reservations and taxi bookings etc. The food can be a bit repetitive, but so are most AI establishments. We were able to get something we liked at very meal. The village is a 10 minute walk away, but we coped with that. During the day, everything is centred around the pool and bar, with not much else, so if you want other diversions to occupy you, don't come here, unless you are prepared to make your own entertainment. There was entertainment three nights a week, some acts better than others, but we don't crave entrainment every night, being quite happy to sit and have a glass of wine and just generally relax. I wouldn't recommend self-catering. The facilities for this are very basic and to get supplies if you don't have a car can be an onerous trek back up the hill from the small supermarkets, loaded with s supplies. The hotel could make this more clear in their advertising, I think. Don't come here if you are hoping for a 4 or 5 star experience for 3 star prices. Hylatio Tourist Village is relatively quiet and simple compared to most hotels, so if you want entertainment and busyness every day, rthis wouldn't suit you.
