    Pros +

    • Good clean hotel, good price.
    • Room was great as was the swimming pool
    • Stelios Gardens has everything all in one place. It has a fantastic pool with sunshine all day, literally the entire day. The water in the pool is very special - it is very soft silky; it was honestly like swimming in rose pedals. The food is very very good and affordable.

    Cons -

    • We were quoted 22 euros for an evening meal. We had 3 orange juices, valued at 2 euros each. When the bill was given orally it was for 38 euros, not 28 euros as expected. Had better meals for less. The room was good for the price, though.
    • The pillows on the bed were not soft
    • The newer rooms are very nice, but for me, the beds we a bit on the hard side. The pool side views have a lot less afternoon sun so if that's what you want then a garden view room is better.

    Good location, close to the beach.

    Hot Water was limited as heated through solar, so if you have a big family the last person may not get hot water. This was fine because we love the fact the they were using renewable energy.

    9AngelaPosted on: 11-28-2024

    Breakfast were superb value for money… good variety- fresh yoghurts & fruits/nuts, eggs n bacon etc., pastries & coffee as much as you desired. Suitable enough options for most dietary needs. Location for breakfast was lovely and easy

    Main ingredient missing was ‘personal touch’. The owner/management are suited to - observing guests & giving them space as opposed to entertaining guests. So suitable for many who prefer to be left alone - to chill/work meander. Totally depends on personal preferences. Nevertheless , late in season ie end October everyone/thing is winding down as expected - standards remained, vibrancy & personality was enough to respectfully.

    The staff were amazing, the room was perfect, the facilities were excellent, the location was perfect. The season was over so it was quite but that didn't impact on the service etc, food was great

    The weather was average, but no one can control that, other from that everything was great

    8ToksPosted on: 9-26-2024

    Clean. Nice decor. Quiet. Great location.

    The pool area faces the road so anyone can see in.

    8JuliePosted on: 9-18-2024

    Stelios Gardens is in a great location. Just 2 mins walk from the beach. Although close to the main strip, it is in its own grounds and very peaceful. The pool is lovely and all the communal areas are very well designed. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

    We had two single beds pushed together as one double bed which was a little problematic. It would also be nice if soap was provided in the bathroom. Please also be very careful when walking on the marble floor in the reception area as it can be slippery when wet.

    Pool - Looked great, was always clean, like in the pictures

    Room - On booking 90% of the pictures are from the renovated rooms which we thought we would have (superior double room), but in fact those were other rooms in a new building and ours were the old looking rooms. They are good for value, I`m not saying that, just that we thought we would have other rooms.

    9GuidoPosted on: 8-19-2024

    Staff, Pool, Garden setting, and most of all, location (quiet, but still very close to 'strip' and beach.

    8TomlinsonPosted on: 7-20-2024

    The location is perfect, close to the beach, strip and anything else you need. The view is beautiful, and the pool was great. The room itself was nice, AC was strong and the beds were comfortable.

    10NinaPosted on: 6-23-2024

    The location, the resort-feel and the family ambiance was perfect! We were there with a three year old in the new building overlooking the pool. We enjoyed to sit on our balcony more then on the beach?

    10CharlottePosted on: 6-11-2024

    The apartment was fully equipped to enjoy a quiet dinner in and had ample seating space in door and out door with a view of the garden which was lovely. The hosts were very accommodating and friendly with top notch hospitality. Would definitely stay again.

    I cannot think of anything.

    10JakePosted on: 6-9-2024

    Air con was amazing! Very quiet, considering it’s near the strip

    10KRISTALYNNPosted on: 4-1-2024

    It’s beautiful. The staff were friendly. They tried to help any way they could.

    Could use blankets in the room

    10Paula R.Posted on: 2-3-2024

    The staff was extremely welcoming. One of the owners waited for us until late hours in the night, as our plane was delayed. The room was newly and fully refurbished, very clean and with a pleasant design. We had dinner at the restaurant and it was delicious. Will definitely come back to visit! Thank you, Stelios family!

    8OrlaPosted on: 10-9-2023

    If is a quite and relaxing location. Perfect location to the beach and the strip. Food is good also

    9BredaPosted on: 9-25-2023

    The location is perfectly close to the beach as well as the city centre. The hotel has an a la carte restaurant and offers specials almost every day, where you can taste delicious greek food and meals prepared in a stone oven, and on specific days even enjoy a traditional performance of greek dancers- all for an amazing price. A bar offers cocktails, ice cream and crepes throughout the day, so you can enjoy them from the comfort of your pool chair. The staff is friendly, the rooms are very clean and all in all the hotel is a must visit!

    The only thing I did miss were some small hotel shampoo and conditioner bottles. The refrigerator in our room was also a bit loud during the night.

    9LisaPosted on: 9-24-2023

    Perfect, beautiful hotel, lovely pool, clean & welcoming. The only criticism I have is that the bed was quite hard & 2 singles pushed together for a double room. Apart from that, it's all lovely.

    The bed

    9EllenPosted on: 9-20-2023

    Accommodation, location and facilities were all exceptional. Both ladies during the day( Marie's) were exceptionally helpful.food was good as was the service. Excellent facilities for our family of 5 , varied ages.

    It's not a dislike, but on a 2 occasions, it was 3 days between towel / bedding changes.Small detail as is the floors not bring swept. However overall all it was excellent.
