Almyrida Village and Waterpark Hotel

From the moment we arrived at Almirida Village & Water Park, we felt genuinely welcomed. We checked in around midnight after a long journey and were extremely hungry. The gentleman at reception kindly offered us two sandwiches, even though it was so late. It was such a thoughtful gesture and made a wonderful first impression. Our room was spotless throughout our stay, and a special thank you goes to Ms. Eli, who looked after our room every single day. Her hard work and attention to detail were truly appreciated. Every morning we enjoyed breakfast, and the team there were always so friendly, welcoming, and smiling. They made every morning start on a positive note. In fact, every member of staff we met during our stay was professional, kind, and always happy to help. The hotel itself was fantastic, with excellent facilities, and we had an amazing time at the water park. Everything exceeded our expectations, and the friendly atmosphere made our holiday even more special. A huge thank you to everyone at Almirida Village & Water Park for making our stay so memorable. We would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable holiday, and we can’t wait to come back!

I’m giving this hotel 2 stars because it has a great location, beautiful views, is close to the beach, and the rooms were clean. Unfortunately, there were several disappointing aspects of our stay. The bathrooms are in serious need of repair, as there were water leaks that should have been addressed. The biggest disappointment, however, was the food. The selection was very limited, and it was almost exactly the same every day, with very little variety. What shocked me most was that although I booked half board, no drinks were included with dinner—not even water. I understand that drinks are not always included with half board, but charging €5 for a bottle of water at dinner felt excessive. During our stay, even small cafés offered complimentary water with a coffee, so this policy was particularly disappointing. I’m actually relieved that I didn’t choose the all-inclusive option, as I feel it would have been a complete waste of money. Overall, I would not return to this hotel and would not recommend it to others.

Great location and a beautiful nearby beach, but unfortunately that’s where most of the positives end. My wife and I stayed for 10 days on an all-inclusive package and overall it was a major disappointment. We requested a double bed but received two single beds. The toilet in our room was also faulty and often wouldn’t flush properly. The biggest issue was the all-inclusive package. Breakfast was virtually identical every day: boiled eggs, an egg casserole, low-quality bacon and sausages, limited bread options, cereals, and porridge. Fresh rolls appeared only once during our stay. Coffee options such as cappuccino or flat white required an extra charge. Lunch was extremely basic, usually consisting of one or two meat dishes, rice, vegetables, tzatziki, and yogurt. Most days we chose to eat elsewhere. Despite being advertised as all-inclusive, there was no snack bar and no snacks available during the day. Dinner offered slightly more variety but still fell well below expectations. There were occasional gyros, souvlaki, meatballs, chicken, beef, or fish, but the overall selection remained limited. The rooms are outdated and the bathrooms need serious renovation. The resort itself is located in a beautiful area and has much more potential than what is currently delivered. The alcohol was another major disappointment. The beer served to all-inclusive guests appeared different from the beer sold separately. At one point the bar even ran out of most alcoholic drinks, leaving guests with very limited choices. The staff are the hotel’s strongest asset. Special thanks to Viktor at the bar, who was always friendly, professional, and hardworking. The housekeeping, gardening, and maintenance teams also did an excellent job and kept the property clean and presentable. The issue is not the staff but the management and apparent cost-cutting throughout the hotel. If you’re looking for a budget hotel in a good location, it may be acceptable. However, I would strongly advise against paying extra for the all-inclusive package. Local restaurants offer far better food and value. I rarely leave negative reviews, but this is one of the few times I genuinely feel a 1-star rating is justified.

This hotel is a complete misrepresentation of what’s advertised. The photos are misleading — there is no waterpark, and the overall condition is far below expectations. Hygiene is a serious issue: dirty glasses and cutlery at every meal, and very poor food quality. We also had no hot water, and instead of fixing it, staff told us to use a public shower at the pool bar — completely unacceptable. Customer service is disappointing. Apart from one lovely morning receptionist and Dimitris at the bar, most staff were rude and dismissive. The evening receptionist in particular was unprofessional and gave inconsistent explanations, making the situation worse. They also charge €3.80 for bottled water and €2 for towels, which feels unreasonable given the standard of the hotel. To top it off, the hairdryer in our room felt unsafe to use. Even for a budget stay, this is not acceptable. Avoid.

(Long read but worth it and honest) So on first night arrival, we discovered our air conditioning unit was broken and leaked all over the floor and bags, told to turn it off and not use it! meaning the room was hot sticky and horrible none of my family slept including my 7 and 9 year Olds. Had to leave the balcony door open all night feeling unsafe being in a new place for the first night! The hotel gave me a towel to put on the floor and told to put our stuff outside as it was hot enough to dry it overnight and there was nothing that could be done as it was too late! We were half board, be warned water is not included with dinner! You can not drink the tap water either. Food isn't great, mainly sloppy stuff or over cooked meat. We wanted the first night refunded, or taken off the room tab at the end of our stay, which became an issue, staff were helpful and willing but limited what they could do, then the manager of the hotel passed a racist remark about it not being Africa or a banana country after we asked for refund and actually threatened us with police, out of fear of this we unhappily settled on a 25% discount reduction of the bill instead of the first night refunded. Crazy! with me being of African heritage found this very offensive and an official complaint about him has been made with the hotel and love holidays who we booked with. We have had several big cockroaches in our room that we have had to remove. Sun bed at pool side was broken and I sliced my finger on sharp split metal, told them about it and they left it so I removed it myself and put it out of situ to avoid anyone else slicing themselves! The pool first few days was dirty and really cloudy with algea growing around the edges and dirt or mud at the bottom in several spots and on 2 occasions there was human poo in the pool, 2nd occasion a guest took it upon himself to scoop it out as they said the pool guys wasn't coming until 3pm 🤮 The wasps and different species of hornets are a bit of a pest especially around the pool, the kids were terrified of being stung by them. Described as a waterpark but only 1 slide, honestly if I knew all this before we came we would not have booked. View from balcony of the bay was lovely. Other guests were lovely and had similar issues to us from chatting with them. Also the "farm" as advertised was very poor a few poor sheep and a pony, some odd scrawny chickens. All animals have seen better days. I would also like to add that not at one point were we rude or un polite as said by one of the managers. Just avoid!.
