Evita Bay

At first glance the hotel is ‘fine’. Near the beach and not far from the centre. However, the bed was unclean with no mattress protector and when the cleaners came they stripped the beds and left the sheets for us to make the beds ourselves which we found peculiar. We had to fix the shower head with a receipt as this fell down and would not stay up the whole time. The room itself was fine, albeit very basic. Do not pay for a swim up pool as these are not private and your room will be looked into by those sat on the loungers. We found ourselves eating out for 4 out of the 7 days as the food provided was greasy, fatty and not signposted clearly enough to know what you were eating! Breakfast was fine. The drinks were cheap and there was a distinct lack of variety and again we found ourselves buying drinks for the room as opposed to utilising the hotel. Not clearly signposted and the reception is not signposted at all! Overall fine but not worth the money and was the worst part of our trip.

We stayed between 14/10-18/10 4 nights as a couple for a cheap and easy break away for my 30th birthday. We had a lovely trip away. We really enjoyed the pool areas with lots of sun beds, our room 552 looked over one of the pools so we had a good view. We debated paying for a swim up room and were glad we didn’t pay the extra as it’s not a private pool for swim up guests only. We actually used sunbeds at that pool and stayed in the normal rooms. There are sunbeds opposite where the rooms are for anyone and anyone could look into your room. The beach is lovely for a morning walk and the sunrises are the best I’ve ever seen (I’ve been lucky to see Bali sunrises and mountain sunrises) waking up early was so worth it. The hotel is what you pay for, the rooms were very basic as in just white walls and no mirror apart from the bathroom , the shower water can go everywhere with no curtain, there’s no safe unless you pay for it, we used locks on our rucksacks instead. The food was very samey but that’s common with all inclusive unless you go somewhere with a few a la carte restaurants. Breakfast we enjoyed with pancakes, cereal, full English and fruits etc.. lunch was very good with Gyros. Drinks are a bit watered down too. Staff were friendly and let us keep our room till 11:30 instead of 11 as our coach was picking us up then. I feel they treated us well especially as they are at the end of their working season now. No entertainment in the evening the few days we were there that we saw but it is towards the end of the season. We went for chilled time so enjoyed the peace and playing cards in the lobby. Hotel is close to faliraki centre, shops round the corner and the cats are cute in the surrounding streets! October weather was lovely in the day 24/24 degrees but take warmer clothes for the evenings I got cold. We enjoyed ourselves, nothing really bad with this hotel, we felt safe staying here, we thought the Hotel was good for what we paid. Only other recommendation would be a sign above reception outside as it wasn’t clear where we should check in. Overall we had a good stay, it was what was needed for a short stay to relax and be by the sea, use the pool and not have to cook ourselves.

Again I'm writing my review on our last day 😔, on arrival we came down a little side street away from the hustle and bustle from the main strip (phew). This hotel is fantastic for couples looking for a quiet, relaxed holiday. €10 per night per room tax as is all of greece and rightly so, now I would say this hotel is a good 3* not 4, you do have to pay for a safe and kettle in your room (we got a safe for 10 days) and our balcony overlooked the main pool. Meals are nice, sometimes repetitive, but on my previous reviews you eat repetitive at home so you know what you like, we always found something we liked and I'll miss the breadsticks and Tzatziki. My only concern was on a few occasions I had pink meat which I got scared to eat. Beach bar opens from 10am-11pm (weather depending, we had some storms and rain) lobby bar opens for beer/spirits at 5-11pm. Now AI spirits aren't the best and found ourselves drinking the G&T, Sex on the Beach, Evita special or Malibu (coconut) with cola. Staff are lovely always saying hello, always helpful. Cleaning we had 0 issues in everyday to tidy beds, clean. Nothing ever went missing. Beach beds are free right at the hotel, towards the fronts they charge (lay on your towel we did). Sun beds never an issue at 3 pools There are a few/many stray cats, now for me personally feeding these babies makes my holiday, I bring treats from home, buy ham at the shop even put more on my plate to feed these poor things (I hope you guys can too).🥰 LITTLE SHOP ROUND THE CORNER - sells cigarettes, food, beer, snacks, other everyday items All in all good hotel, great staff nice food, atmosphere Thank you all at Evita bay

The staff are lovely, the place is very basic and unclean , food was just ok , drinks weren’t good, really disappointed, photos aren’t realistic when advertised avoid at all costs
