Just got back from our week long holiday at Akasha hotel. Hotel is very lovely and has a beautiful aesthetic! We were all inclusive and the food was the best we’ve ever had at an all inclusive, cooked to perfection and different every meal which is rare when all inclusive! The staff at the restaurant and around the pools were lovely, couldn’t do enough for you! Now onto the things that completely ruined our holiday.. We arrived at the hotel at 5am after an over night travel, where we were completely knackered, only to be told we had to wait till 3pm to be able to check in and given a room! That’s 10 hours basically homeless in another county! When we asked the reception staff what we are supposed to do for 10 hours we was told “go for a walk or get some eggs” through out the whole day I noticed the reception staff were nothing but rude and arrogant. We had to sit on sunbeds and try to sleep at 5am and the reception staff did not seem to care or have any sympathy at all. We then had to pay £180 to extend our room and all inclusive rights on our last day as they want you out at 11am. I expressed to reception I didn’t think this was very fair considering we had no room when we got here to which I basically just got a shrug! We are so disappointed as this holiday is of premium price, so I will not be able to recommend to any one as our first impressions when I got to the hotel where nothing less of shocking!

What can I say except what a place! From day 1 the staff have been so amazing and you almost feel like you’re at home. We brought our 1 year daughter of which was her second holiday abroad and the staff were just so lovely towards her and making sure she had everything she needed, I feel like not a lot of places do that even family friendly ones. When we arrived we got a shower bundle for the wee one and a wee teddy for her as soon as we walked into reception. It does feel like a retreat when you first go in. But I will definitely be leaving 5 stars because it’s very family friendly too

Room: sleek and modern design. The room was spacious and had good amenities and features. The only thing that was a let down was the bed duvet provided had a massive rip in one corner and had stains in certain places...not the quality i would expect in a 5 star hotel. I would suggest the maid/room cleaning team pay greater attention to the the bed sheets/duvet in future and also should ensure the lotion and hand wash are sufficiently filled, as the lotion bottle provided was empty after a couple of days.
Service: 10/10 service provided by the restaurant staff. Nada in particular was always very polite, attentive and made sure i was well taken care of during breakfast and dinner service. In fact, all the restaurant staff provided excellent service to myself and other guests from my observation. They all greeted me politely and were all fantastic!
Food: The desserts in particular were divine and presented beautifully. Food quality was pretty good. It was buffet style but there were plenty of options and variety to choose from.
Location: not much to do nearby as there are mainly just shops and restaurants. However, it is located on the main road and there are bus stops, supermarkets and excursion shops nearby. If you can drive then i would say the location is not an issue as lots of rental options nearby. I don't drive so i did find i got quite bored and had to rely on booking excursions to fill my time. There is a beach right outside the hotel, but does get filled up quite quickly.
Overall, nice hotel but definitely more a 4* rather than a 5* in my opinion. I would also suggest adding evening entertainment for guests and maybe some more facilities, such as a ping pong table etc.

- The hotel and the room (Suite with Whirlpool) is beautiful and directly at the beach
- Staff is mostly really lovely and attentive (some of them stop talking to you if you don’t immediately tip after 2 incounters, made the visits to the beach a little awkward)
- Check in was really pleasant and relaxed, great way to start your holiday
- Lots of quite good food for every meal, always some changes so it doesn’t get dull, meat was mostly really dry though
- nice cocktails and great atmosphere at the pool bar in the evenings, the blond waitress there is lovely!
- you can spend days in that hotel without getting bored (gym, 3 pools, many cozy corners to relax, lovely beach, various bars,..)
All in all had a great time here, but would have expected a little more for a 5 Star Hotel at that price. Specially more attention to the details: room was semi clean after housekeeping was in there and partly dusty (takes a while to get there), upholstery partly really worn off, tea at breakfast comes in a half full tiny cup with lukewarm water,…).
Thank you for the relaxing time I was able to have here!

This is far the best hotel we ever stayed for 10 nights. Room was spotless, we booked Urban Chic with plunge pool and can’t fault it! Water was very cold but did not complain!
Food was delicious! & Id like to raise to a lady called Nada, the loveliest lady I ever met and made me and my partner feel very welcoming and did not make us feel awkward as she was already aware of us being deaf. I will miss her dearly and her kindness!
Location was brilliant, very easy to access and we went to Med restaurant for our last night and was only down the road from our hotel! We’ve done so many activities and hired a car too.
We’ve had the best time and we will definitely come back again. Thank you!
