At first I was hugely disappointed but got better. Not sure where the great reviews are coming from. Rooms and hotel facilities weren't up to the standard. The location is great but the rest is 3 stars at most. Starting from the bottom is the cleaning standards. I was at the end of the season but this kind of dirt has no excuse. Dust under the beds, top of the wardrobe, mirror, dirty drawers and more. Anyways, food was acceptable, along with the drinks and service. Everything is 3 stars except the location which is great. I can believe that this hotel was great at some point and it could be back on the top easily. But my experience wasn't the best

Just finished a great week. Here the hotel and location are excellent. Yes, the food is what you expect with an all-inclusive, but there are plenty of local taverns to go and eat. If you do not like the food, I would recommend an upgraded to all-inclusive Plus which include premium cocktails, they are great and the bar staff are lovely. The air conditioning could be colder in the rooms, but you do get used to it. I would definitely recommend coming here to stay and I must make a special mention to Matthew. He is by the reception who works for GT travel, he will help you with anything you need. Without this person I wouldn't have been able to make this trip extra special and propose to my partner. He made it an extra special trip that we will never forget. Thanks again Matthew from GT Travel!

Kalyves is not a place overflowing with tourists, but rather a location recommended for quiet and peaceful relaxation. Within half an hour by car, you can reach many wonderful sights. The hotel staff is very friendly, everyone speaks English, and they are happy to help with anything. I would especially highlight the evening programs starting at 8:30 PM, as well as the children’s entertainment throughout the day. The rooms are large and clean, and the food is delicious and plentiful. I highly recommend it for families.

My husband and I had a wonderful October holiday here this year. The room was very comfortable, the food excellent and the location stunning. They have an absolutely first class fitness, yoga and pilates instructor who was so friendly and charming and really made my holiday memorable and me much fitter. The only thing that could be improved is that there is no dedicated area to do this exercise. It would be fantastic if they could provide a suitable shaded area for this purpose. We will certainly come back next year. Thank you to all the staff and especially Eva.

We are a family of 5 with three children aged 6,3 and 5 months. We spent a day at Kalyves Beach Resort and we were blown away by how lovely this place is! It has got such a peaceful, relaxing vibe, which was perfect after such a jam packed holiday with the kids!
We particularly loved the river that runs alongside the resort , just beautiful! The kids were mesmerized by it and spent ages in the water while I was just enjoying soaking in the calmness.
The play area was a huge hit with our 6- and 3-year-old. They burned off all their energy while we had a rare, quiet moment to ourselves.
I also loved that they have a bookshelf for you to help yourself to while sunbathing. Such nice touch!
The staff were wonderful — attentive, warm, and so kind to the kids. Big shout out to the lifeguard who was amazing with our baby Posie!
It was clear they really cared about making everyone feel at home. We absolutely loved our visit and wouldn’t hesitate to stay here next time. Kalyves Beach Resort is a hidden gem and the perfect spot for a family day trip or stay!
