Papagou-Holargos Vacations from $1,568

Great and friendly service. Tomas was wonderful and very attentive. The room was very clean and updated, great bathroom.

We had the absolute privilege of staying at Bellevalia Hydra, and it exceeded every expectation. The location is simply breathtaking, the rooms are beautifully designed, the views are spectacular, and the food is exceptional. What truly sets this hotel apart, however, is its incredible staff. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed like family. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and every member of staff went above and beyond to make our stay genuinely unforgettable. It’s almost impossible to single people out because every single person was outstanding, but a special thank you must go to Anna, who went out of her way to make our stay extra special. Stephanous and his wonderful restaurant team, Sergio and Christos, delivered such incredible food and warm hospitality that we didn’t want to dine anywhere else on the island. Thank you also to Renata at reception, Anthony and Paulos at the bar, Alessio, who found us the perfect spot on the beach every day, and Jacob, our friendly water taxi guide, whose warm welcome always put a smile on our faces. Bellevalia Hydra is so much more than a beautiful hotel, it’s a place where genuine hospitality makes you feel completely at home. We leave with wonderful memories and can’t wait to return.

It's nice. The hotel is right on the beach and the swimming pools are big. There's not too many sun loungers so you have to get in there quick. The staff are good but the bar staff always seemed a little under pressure. The entertainment is also good but is targeted towards their mainly French guests but they do try to include everyone. It's a great place for families. If you're expecting people not to push in at the buffet queue you're in for a shock. Also getting a train to and from the airport is way cheaper than a taxi. The hotel said its 160 euros to the airport by taxi. We got there by train for less than 30 euros.

The lobby, and restaurant area look pretty good. But the rooms definitely need an upgrade. Air conditioning not working properly all the time, you have to bang the door to the room to close it and open it, no coffee/tea amenities in room, no iron, no robe, no slippers. No bellhop to help with luggage. I have fallen on the front steps of the hotel twice because the steps didn’t have enough light and floor markers. No one came to help me even though I’m sure I was visible to the desk staff through the glass doors.
