Pelathousa Vacations from $701

This holiday was an extra one for us so we didn’t research much about the hotel/surrounding area. We also travelled out of season in April so A La Carte restaurants were closed and the outdoor pool was very cold! Our room was spacious, clean and easy to access on level 1. Took a while each day for house keeping to clean our room (sometimes 5pm) so not always easy to go back to the room to relax in the afternoon if it wasn’t done. Buffet style food everyday, although fresh and nicely presented (especially the salads), did get a bit samey. The walks along the seafront were easy and flat and the bar area by the outdoor pool was kept clean, Natasha one of the bar staff always had a smile for you and very accommodating. Likewise the waiting staff in the restaurant, very friendly and helpful. There was an incident in the outdoor pool and if it wasn’t for a guest member (nurse), there would have been a fatality. No medical equipment (defribulator, oxygen etc) was visible and the lifeguards were not paying attention to the pool, therefore, took ages to respond. The manager Anthony did take the incident seriously and hopefully will now take steps to better train lifeguards and position them for better viewing of the pool (not on the bridge and no mobile phones) It will not stop us from returning or recommending to family and friends. However, we will be highlighting not to rely on other people for safety around any pools.

Everything about this resort is top notch. From services, food to amenities, this place is great.

We were pleased with the room, the food, the kids club activities, the pools and most of the staff. We found the Odyssey nightclub completed soulless, and it was in the basement with no windows. We were also concerned, if there had had to be a fire evacuation for this reason. There was a lack of communal areas - only the lobby, which was full. The kids club room also had no windows, and a smell of cigarette smoke wafted into the room. However, we enjoyed our holiday and the kids loved all the cats and the kids club staff in the resort. The exercise activities were great too (the gym was tiny though, and the exercise needed replacing).

Great for families, decent and spacious rooms, very friendly staff, always helpful. The location is nice, with a sea view and promenade for walks/jogs. The food was good, enjoyed the Indian and Peruvian special dinners. The outdoor and indoor pools, spa offer good opportunities for relaxation
