Alkyon Resort Hotel & Spa

This hotel is conveniently located next to a lovely beach. However, the hotel itself is dated. The hall carpet was stained and central areas are not air conditioned, so the hallways and lobby are very hot. Our shower was broken and we found a large cockroach in the bathroom. The hotel staff were quick to respond to our concerns about the cockroach and sent housekeeping right away. Overall the service was good but not great. The room and facilities were likewise good but not great. The breakfast buffet had lots of options but the quality was not very good. This hotel seemed to be popular with families with children and would be a good fit for that. It was not particularly nice for a couples trip.

The property is amazing and clean. It’s the best resort in that area. What’s more impressive is the staff, they’re all so helpful and nice. I would definitely recommend for families.

Access to the beach and the loungers and umbrellas with drink service made it feel truly like a resort. The room itself did not feel resort-like, it was small and not the best mattress. The staff were all super friendly and helpful though. While the free breakfast had a lot of variety, I wish there was more fresh fruit, vegetables, and juices to choose from. It was a much more family oriented resort than I expected. The pool areas and main dining room were loud and sometimes chaotic with kids. When I read about the resort and saw the pictures I was expecting more of a quiet spa-like setting. That being said, I've never stayed anywhere else in Greece before, so I don't know how it compares locally. Overall, i would still go back. I was looking for easy beach access and free breakfast in a safe place and that is what we got. One more thing to consider is that it can get a bit pricey/tricky to get from the Athens airport to the resort.

The pools were fun, there was a playground and bicycles to borrow, breakfast was amazing, a wonderful family resort.

Relaxing and safe , great for kids and give the opportunity to parents to find extra time for themselves

Hotel staff: the best I 'ven seen in years. Genuinely happy to help and serve the customer, very friendly without the expected "robotic" pretence. Food: 5 stars for quality, variety, and quantity. You have been warned ;-) Activities: Ideal for families with children, organized activities and games in the morning and evening in the pool and the hotel grounds, safe environment. Beach: the only drawback but this is not the hotel's fault obviously. If you are looking for a sandy beach, this is not the place to go. The beach is pebbly without any sand, and the sea is average (considering the excellent Greek beaches in other locations). Also, there are no watersports available, if you are in to that sort of activity.

Last minute booking and the best thing we did. Lovely family hotel with great space, facilities and great food. Would definitely return next year.
