The Village Resort & Waterpark

This place is great! It’s all wheelchair accessible but some of the pathways to some of the rooms are fairly steep and could pose difficulties in pushing. As for the ants, yeah there’s a few knocking about but nothing to get worried about, I’d see the odd one in the room but theirs lots of nice gardens around the rooms so I can understand this. The staff were all super. Never had one issue at all with any of them. In fact they went above and beyond. The selection of drinks was good as was the food, lots to choose from plus their were more simple foods for the kids. Snacks and ice cream in the afternoon too! The pools were spot on, they had water sports in the main pool hosted by the hotel reps, plus the top pool with the slides was awesome which also has a lifeguard who was always on the ball! The hotel was a 15 minute walk to the main town area, the hotel offered a free coach there and back every hour which we used a few times to check out the local shops. The hotel does have its own shop buts it’s a bit expensive so best to nip into the town. The entertainment was good. They had shows each night plus the kids club all which was in the theatre. They had arcade machines, a gym and a yoga room. Overall I was a bit apprehensive about the place after reading some of the reviews as they’re very mixed but I would recommend it to anyone wanting a decent holiday. It’s a well kept tidy hotel.

This is a great place if you have kids. Very clean, service is attentive and provide a lot. One of our AC was not working and they never got it fixed but otherwise I would definitely go again. Buffet is always varied and many options. Breakfast is not so great. We rented a car which is advisable if you want to see other great beaches on the island but because if the location they are usually over 1.5 hours away.

Rooms are dated but practical. Also food was a downside. I was expecting local cuisine. However the location was absolutely fantastic. Also big shouts for staff especially cleaners as they were always happy and welcoming. The kids really enjoyed the water park. Would recommend

Great for families. The staff are friendly and helpful. Great variation of food . Had a couple of maintenance issues with room but they sorted it within half an hour . My biggest let down is the alcoholic beverages . Even though they tasted good sadly the alcohol content was pretty low which according to a trip advisor reply from the resort was it is in compliance with Greek govt rules for all inclusive. Our apartment was in the number 900s which is at the top of a steep hill . However a golf cart style buggy will take you up the hill if you ask at reception. Entertainment was great for kids under 10 years old . Adult entertainment was a bit bland as young children were always present despite the entertainment starting at 9.15pm. There's a free shuttle bus that runs from the hotel to Star Beach regularly .

In a beautiful location, however the rooms and some of the staff really do not live up to the supposed 4 star rating. The first night we arrived we were given a ground floor double room with garden view. This room was crawling with bugs and ants and was reminiscent of a prison cell. We went to reception to tell them the issue and they sent a security man down to spray the room with potent bug spray. We were left waiting outside the room at 3am. When we returned to the room more bugs were crawling, out of the pillows, in the bathroom and on the walls. Ourselves and another couple in the same situation went to reception again to be told that we would have to pay 100-150€ to change room or speak to the booking manager in the morning. We sat in reception as the rooms were not suitable to sleep in. We were given another room for one night eventually. We spoke to a TUI rep the next morning (really fantastic staff and can't thank them enough!) Who made sure we could keep the new room without additional pay. The rest of the holiday went well, the bar and kitchen staff at the hotel are super friendly. However, on the last day while we were out of the room (there is no sign or way to refuse room service if you are not there) my friends smart watch disappeared from the table, this was mentioned to reception when we checked out, asking if it was found could we be contacted. The receptionist said that all the cleaning staff had been there 15-20 years so it wasn't stolen and that my friend obviously lost it. The attitude of a few staff during our stay has tainted the experience. I would not book again.
