The hotel is absolutely lovely with a very high standard of cleanliness which is so important. The bedroom and the gardens and grounds are spotless. Personally, we didn't need 'theme nights' in the restaurant because we love Greek food and were very much looking forward to traditional menus. However, this did not detract from the very relaxing holiday we enjoyed... More

We had a very relaxing week at this beautiful hotel. Lovely pool and bar area and excellent room and facilities. The only disappointment was the food which was a self service buffet every night. We would expect this at an all inclusive hotel but for 4 star half board we would have expected waitress service and an a la carte... More

Just returned from a week at The Island Hotel and we were a little disappointed. We did have a great holiday as it is what you make it as they say! The Hotel is beautiful and looks even better than in the brochure however we found a significant lack of atmosphere which could often leave us feeling a little bored... More

Just got back this morning. Overall, this hotel is excellent. Rooms are modern (like new), double luxury sunbeds. The pool slopes sharply to deep water, so not for beginners. The food was very hit and miss. The most bizzare thing was the fact that they deliberately keep the temperture of "hot" food well below normal and provide a microwave to... More

Booking a "Couples Only" holiday was new for us and we went with open minds and no expectations. On arrival, which was after midnight, we were greeted by hotel staff and tour reps at the door; a prompt and easy check in before being taken to our rooms. Our luggage was given labels with the room number and a porter... More

Although the hotel was lovely and the staff very nice it was let down considerably by the food. The hotel's food menu was themed. Chinese, Indian , Mexican and so on. The problem was if you didn't like the themed menu you had to go without as there wasn't an alternative menu. However, the bread was nice and I ought... More
