Orestida Holidays from £474

A lot of things seemed to have seen better days. The children pool had some slides, but the surface was made of some concrete and started to peel off. The handle when walking of to the slides was broken and someone could easily die if they truly held on to it. The pool area in general needs some refurbishment.

Beautiful hotel, right on the long sandy/pebbly beach, surrounded by pine forests, palm trees and flowers. Amazing and friendly staff. The food was very good. Very clean and well maintained. It's in the middle of nowhere and takes 90 mins from the airport, well worth it though. My only criticism is that you had to pay for drinks at the evening meal, including water or juice.

Spotlessly clean and well maintained but it is an older- styled place. I would not call it 5-star - there is simply nothing like 5-star service. Reception staff were unhelpful when it came to dealing with problems we had in the room and with getting pool towels. There was almost no other contact with staff during our stay - breakfast is fully self-serve buffet, not even serving tea and coffee (a machine to dispense coffee which was almost undrinkable). The pool area and beach were nice, but could do without the constant background club music. The location is out of the way and fairly quiet which was nice.
