We visited Elios Hill for 8 days and I don’t have anything bad to say at all. The food was spectacular - loads of options and all clean. The staff and service was geniunely amazing. Everyone was friendly and so accommodating and happy to have a chat. The roof terrace area was such a lovely area in the evening with great entertainment. I didn’t feel like we need to fight to find tanning beds with three pools there was plenty of space. The drinks were great and they have water stations everywhere.
There is also loads of kids entertainment so really great for families and also an adult pool area and separate adult friendly area in the restaurant!
The hotel is on a hill so it’s a bit steep but you can request a buggy that comes immediately to take you to your room or anywhere you need to go which was great as we were travelling with elderly people.
Elios Hill is 5* done correctly. We will definitely be back!! Thank you.
My family and I are leaving Elios Hill completely delighted! We celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary here with our two kids, and the service throughout our stay was nothing short of EXCELLENT, every single request was handled promptly and seamlessly.
The resort facilities and dining are breathtaking. The food was absolutely amazing! The infinity pool overlooking the Aegean Sea and the kids' water park were completely unforgettable for our family. On top of that, the wonderful restaurants offer stunning sea views, and watching the sunset from Cloud Bar is a core memory I will never forget.
A special thank you to the General Manager, Mr. Giorgos Bolakis, and his truly outstanding team, who went above and beyond to make our family milestone so memorable for all four of us. The level of hospitality here is incredible.
Thank you to the entire team for making this trip so unforgettable. We hope to return in the future!

Great hotel for families. Food and service is great and the rooms are excellent with plenty of space (we stayed in a junior suite). Not near a beach which is the downside to the location. Animation team are really entertaining and are great with the kids. Service in the buffet restaurant is really good with the staff constantly cleaning and bringing out fresh food. Bar staff on the cantina bar and cloud bar are excellent!
Just returned from an amazing family holiday at Elios Hill. The staff are amazing. Can't do any more. Animation team were brilliant, especially Gabrielle and Dario who played football everyday with my son and other guests.
The 3 al la carte restaurants are beautiful, especially the Asian. The buffet restaurant is also very nice with a great selection and wine and beer on tap.
We will definitely be back.
We had an amazing stay at Elios Hill and were truly impressed by the overall quality of the experience.
The food was excellent, with a great variety of dishes and something for everyone. The view was simply spectacular and made every moment even more special. We also have to mention the impeccable cleanliness throughout the resort — everything was always spotless and very well maintained.
A special mention goes to the animation team, who were always energetic, friendly, and ready to make everyone smile. Their enthusiasm and positive attitude really made a difference during our stay.
We would also like to give a very special thank you to Dario, Marco, and Andrea for making our favourite sport, waterpolo, even more enjoyable. They brought the right amount of competitiveness and passion while always keeping the atmosphere fun and engaging. Thanks to them, every game was exciting, challenging, and above all, a lot of fun!
Thank you to the entire team at Elios Hill for making our holiday such a memorable experience. We truly had a fantastic time!
