Kato Akourdalia Holidays from £456

The breakfast menu was delicious. The coffee was only available once breakfast was being served. For those of us who wake up early it would have been nice to get fresh brewed sooner. The instant in the room doesn’t cut it.

Beautiful position overlooking the sea with a private pool. Michael and Eleni were both very helpful and friendly and there was absolutely nothing that we didn't like. Second time we've stayed in this villa.

A great stay after the initial disappointment of being allocated the wrong type of room. The adults only side of the hotel is excellent, we loved the quiet areas on the lawn, the pool and adults its bar are a real plus. We spent a little time in the main pool, the bar at that side is very tired and the wine selection poor. The staff throughout the hotel are helpful and the food is good.

We really enjoyed our stay. Unfortunately one incident left a bad feeling. My friend wanted half board BC of the kosher food. I did not. We arranged it on our 2nd day at the hotel. Dinner was €35 Tue-Thu and €50 Fri-Sat. On Fri at 5 PM I went to reception to cancel my friend’s dinner. She said that for Fri-Sat anyone wanting dinner had to book a table. I confirmed twice and asked about Sat. She confirmed my friend would need to book. On Sat I booked a table for one via WhatsApp and got a confirmation. At checkout we saw a €50 charge for Fri. I reminded her that I had spoken to her the day before and said my friend would not have dinner on Fri. She became confused and said she would call the manager. When he arrived I asked them to check the Fri reservations and see we were not registered for dinner. They said the records were in the closed restaurant and could not be checked. My WhatsApp also showed I booked only one table for Sat. The manager accused me of being disrespectful and using my hands. I apologized and explained this is simply how I talk. I continued calmly. Eventually he told reception to remove the €50 as if he was doing us a favor. Before leaving I apologized again and offered my hand. He shook it without looking at me. After an otherwise wonderful stay this spoiled the end of our experience. We left feeling as though we had been treated like people trying to get something for free because we had simply followed the hotel’s instructions.
