Family hotel

We had a wonderful stay and really enjoyed our holiday :) The hotel is surrounded by a beautiful garden, the food was very tasty, and there was a buffet for children every day.

The staff were all very friendly and welcoming, but what really made our stay special were the two animators, MO and Tommy. They created such a great atmosphere and made every day more enjoyable. Their approach to children was fantastic, the activities were great, and the evening entertainment was always fun. We honestly cannot imagine our holiday without them. Thank you so much !Warm greetings from Gabi and Antoni:)

You can really feel that this is a family-friendly hotel where the staff care about their guests. The rooms are comfortable. From time to time, you may see some ants, but since the hotel is located in a garden, this is completely understandable.

Thank you once again for a fantastic stay. We would be very happy to come back!

Just outstanding truly amazing

I booked this hotel for my wedding at St. Paul’s bay . This hotel on arrival is cool , clean new and modern, check in was simple just a small form to fill in . Penelope on reception is the most loviest lady you can meet , as when you are getting married I had so many questions, there was nothing to much for her , she truly is a angel she helped me so much on the morning of the wedding making sure I didn’t bump into the groom , she does her job with such a big smile on her face , the manger also was very helpful she made sure that all my family was all located it rooms next to each other . The rooms had a swim up room 215 , the hotel is so so clean , all the staff are amazing . Then we want to say about the food it’s not the biggest selection but it’s diffrent every night always hot fresh and tasty . Then all day if you want to sit by the pool they had a all day to 5pm most amazing pizza and snack bar open so you don’t go hungry , the guys in the restaurant made our week then was so welcoming and had many laughs and jokes the was amazing thank you guys . And saving the best till last Tommy the entertainment and aqua pool guy , he is sooo lovely always helpful always smiling and we wanted to sneak him in are cases Tommy good luck on your journey, please Lisen when I say this hotel should be a 5star just made my wedding and holiday everything I hoped for . Massive thank you , oh and I must add me and my daughter gabby won the karaoke night with certificate 🤣

Thank you, Tommy

I stayed at this hotel a week ago with my teenage children, and we had a wonderful week. We absolutely love Greece and have visited many of its islands. We have stayed in many hotels and experienced different levels of service, so we felt we simply couldn’t leave without writing a review. :)

We really enjoyed our stay, and we think the hotel is very lucky to have such a wonderful employee as Tommy. He is not only caring and always in a great mood, but he also knows how to communicate with teenagers and, of course, how to keep guests entertained. He helped make our holiday truly special, and we may even return to this hotel next year.

The food was excellent, although perhaps there could be a few more fish dishes. The rooms were clean and well maintained.

Thank you for your hospitality!

Not quite 4 Star...

On arrival at about 1am, we were told there was some food and fruit in our room - a cheese and ham sandwich, not very appetising, along with an apple,and a bottle of water. Our room was small, but clean. We liked that it was modern, and bright, but really it could do with more than 5 coat hangers, and 3 drawers. The safe was probably one of the smallest we have seen, by the time you had put your passports and 2 phones in there was not much room for anything else. There are lots of steps on the complex, so if you have mobility issues rethink booking this hotel. While we were there we saw 2 ladies with ankle injuries. Overall the food was pleasant and plentiful, good variety. The drinks on the other hand - that's a different matter...cheap local and not a lot of variety. One more thing, we didn't manage to get a sunbed at the main pool mainly because we didn't get up at silly O'clock to reserve a bed with our towels!! Although we did always get a sunbed at the WaterSplash park, the only complaint about this area is the fact that there is a resident DJ who plays "loud" club music all day long, really is there any need. Evening entertainment was not the best in our opinion. Overall the hotel is modern clean and staff are very pleasant, with a few teeks this could be a 4star, but currently we would rate it a 3star.

A relaxing week away at the Aiora 🌞

Stayed here for a week with my mum. The resort is modern, clean and new for 2026. The location is great and a 6 minute walk to the beach and water boat to Lindos. Local buses stop right outside too. The area is great for families and couples, the entertainment offers something a bit different to bingo and quizzes and abba tributes :) they had Afro beats dance and music, a magician and a fabulous dance show. There are daily sessions of yoga, aqua gym and water polo. The staff in the bar and restaurant are lovely and kind. In the entertainment team Mo, Tommy and the ladies go out of their way to make sure everyone is included and has a great time. No pressure to join the things that aren’t for you. There is a kids club. My mum in her 70s certainly didn’t have an issue with the background music by the pool! She really enjoyed it :) The food is lovely and nicely presented, always something to choose from, lots of options. We found the drinks including cocktails really nice. But we werent on holiday to drink non stop! We had the jacuzzi on the balcony which was lovely as we had one rainy day here. Defo worth the extra euros that day :)
