Where do I start ? This was our 2nd trip to this wonderful hotel this year. 4th time in total. The staff on arrival welcome us like family members which is great and takes away any worries that things may have changed. The lads on the bar George and Pavlos spotted me walking in and a beer was promptly placed in my hand before even checking in -Superb service. We had a swim up room which was very nice with a large bathroom/shower (Jet wash ) Food was excellent quality and my favorite was the omelette which is made to order and absolutely delicious by a lovely lady who always had a welcome smile. Christos the restaurant manager and all his fantastic staff always there to share a smile and deliver amazing service all day long. The pool area with Sakis on the bar was great not once did we have to fight for a sunbed and the service by the team outside was again superb. Alot of people may have different opinions but this is mine. Finally the hotel manager Elena. Brilliant and funny host who bought us all a little gift and made us feel very special, See pictures below I love this hotel and it's location in centre of Kolymbia and without doubt will be back in May. Hope I haven't missed anything still gutted I'm back in rainy England. See you next year.

This hotel was really nice. We were upgraded to the swim up pool room which was rather nice. The only downside is unfortunately the sun is not on it for long. We did use the pool though because we like the cold water and it was a definately colder than the main pool. The main pool was so nice and rhe beds are comfy. Even in October 24/25 degrees it was hot and you wouod need to cool off in the pool. They had walk in steps to the pool as well as the climb down steps. The entertainment by Alan was great (he said he was from Poland) he would give a ten minute warning for water polo, football, beach volley ball, boules, tennis and ping ping etc and he worked hard day and night with the entertainment. It was good fun actually and the other guests were all so nice that we met and chatted to while participating in games. Also don't miss quiz night it was brilliant. The staff were so friendly and chatty and you can get prosecco which was rather good and lots of different cocktails. Certain brands you would need to pay for. The amaretto was nice so I wasn't bothered it wasn't Dissorano. If you want to drink past midnight you have to pay to upgrade the wrist band from what I heard. I also discovered the lemon slushy from the pool was nice with tequila in it. That was a suggestion made to me by Sakis who worked the pool bar. He was so lovely and was trying to help me pronouncing the greek words I was trying to use. The food was great, I haven't been happy with all inclusive in the past due to the food. I couldnt fault the food. There is lots of choice. Lots of pork, but also chicken, beef, fish and vegetable dishes. I liked the fact they had a lower counter so kids could help themselves to spaghetti bolognaise or the other dishes that children might prefer to eat. The only suggestion is to have the ham and cheese slices that are out at breakfast and have those out at lunchtime as well so that they can be added to salad. Also keep the toastie machine out at lunch for toastie sandwiches. The rooms were nice enough but maybe could do with a bit of an update but the beds were very comfortable. Also the towels are not very big so I used a pool towel instead because it was much bigger. I like large shower towels so they could do with providing bigger towels. The beach is close by you walk out the back of the hotel and not to the marina part but the road heading to the right ish and your there in 5 minutes. Apparently they will golf buggy you there if you want to. I would recommend this hotel. I am not sure about when it's very busy in the summer and queuing for drinks but October there was hardly a queue.
