Anarvagos Vacations from $133

Exceptional experience.

I must say we were a little disappointed with the stay overall. I took a look at the photos again and they are a little misleading as the hotel is a lot bigger than the pics, with several additional floors having been added. The 5th floor 'sunset cocktail bar' wasn't built and was just a building site. Our rooms were on the 4th floor overlooking the road but still a great view of the mountains - they were simple clean rooms but stark and had none of the soft furnishings displayed in the photos and no wall art. Our toilet was squeezed in behind a structural pillar which made it a real challenge to go to the loo! The AC was a pain, despite it working well it kept switching off and on again all night. As there are all-inclusive options the quality of the food is average and there is the usual sunbed nonsense, with numpties putting their towels down around 7am...although the pool on the lower level always had availabilty. The reception staff were great, super helpful and friendly. Vlad in particular. All in all it was...OK. The sunset is fabulous and the nearby beaches / coves are a delight but the hotel just seemed too overcrowded and a bit too 'meh' for our liking. Shame.

If you're looking for a change of atmosphere from other hotels, try Aelia. It's a relaxing and serene atmosphere that seems perfect for getting reading done, writing a book, or just chilling. The breakfast was Marriott-style, and there are bikes on site, as well as places to walk. It would be lovely for a small wedding or a party with the addition of flowers. Our only issue was the weak internet upload speed for a Zoom conference. We also really wish that more hotels would consider getting at least a single laundry machine instead of expensive laundry service. We would have stayed longer if we had this option.
