"I absolutely loved my stay at The Island hotel and would recommend anyone to book! The hotel was large but extremely well maintained, the staff were lovely and breakfast included such an array of tasty food. Incredibly clean and I felt very safe as a solo female traveller. The pools were fantastic and I easily spent hours there!
Such a treat and I would love to return some day. Thank you to all the staff! "
"Notre séjour chez illios Suite s’est très bien passé. Attention sur Google Maps l’hôtel est répertorié comme Hara illios Village. Repas à thème et quelques soirées avec ambiance. Assez calme malgré les avions qui passent. Serveur.e.s adorables et très accueillant, beaucoup parlent français. "
"I enjoyed my vacation at Lyda Club Hotel. The room was so clean. The sheets and towels were changed every day. The food which was buffet style was pretty good. I liked the snack bar where they had barbecue almost every evening. Sometimes they had pasta. Overall, it was good and convenient. The staff is nice and friendly. I recommend it. "
"The property was superbly postioned... Just steps from the sea... The owners were very welcoming to me which was reassuring as i was staying alone. My room was airy and spacious. The decor and furnishing was slightly dated but did not bother me as it was very clean. The bathroom was small and could do with modernising the shower but it was adequate. I think they should advertise the cost of the air conditioning as for some €7 a night may eat into their spending money if on a budget.
I would...
"We had a lovely stay at the apartment. Lots of choice for restaurants, close to a few beaches, lots of holiday shops, apartment was clean and tidy and host very friendly."
"The staff was very friendly and Kind. The food was very good and dinner/ lunch menu changed daily so you never had the same.
The beach is just a few meters away from the hotel (2 minute walk )
I defenetly recommend this hotel ☺️

"Nice propaty if you manage to book sea view , very nice pool area , the beach not so good if you can book only B/B it beter as the dinner is not tasty to my opinion"
"Fabulous vacation at Diogenis Blue Palace. Captivating sea views and delightful cuisine. Chef Ilias and the entire food and beverage team (especially the hardworking wait staff) were wonderful - freshly prepared meats, seafood, pasta and authentic Greek treats (lamb, calamari, octopus, spinach pie, loukoumides, bhaklava) daily. Ilias and his staff checked on all the guests and families every day. Surroundings were constantly cleaned and beachfront was well maintained, easy access to...

"We spent a week here with our two daughters. It was an amazing experience. The hotel itself is beautifully designed with several options for swimming and laying out. It was great to be able to stay at a hotel where we could access the ocean directly. We never had issues finding beach chairs. The staff was incredibly nice and the food was excellent. Would love to return here again someday! "
"There were lots of dining options within the resort that provided variety throughout our stay. The buffet at the main restaurant was the best I’ve ever had. We loved that we had healthy, great tasting options for every meal. The rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable."
"This was a 1 night stay prior to a longer booking, in a basic room. I was also here last year. Don’t be scared of a solo trip, the people are fantastic and you will be made to feel very welcome and not alone.
The guests are hit and miss, some are a bit rowdy, some doing photo shoots the whole time but it’s easy to find some quiet space. Most are couples in their 30s. The rooms are soundproofed, I stayed on a top floor and couldn’t hear any neighbours which was a relief, food is fantastic but large portions. All inclusive is a must so that you can relax and let the wonderful people bring you drinks and snacks. I had a wonderful massage to start my trip, and a meal in the lovely Greek restaurant.
Outside gym has some really cool equipment.
I think the resort is non smoking, which is a relief as many Greek people smoke (there are mostly English people here), there are a lot of vapers.
I travel to 5 star hotels for work, and I cannot say enough good things about the staff here, they are without exception friendly and helpful and in a resort like this, they make the difference between a 5 star trip and a less decent holiday. I will definitely return next year. I also stayed in the grand bungalow which was easily the best hotel room I’ve ever stayed in. I’d advise anyone to book a swim up room at least, to avoid sunbed wars at the pool. "
