Ilyssion

Although I have been staying at the Ilyssion Hotel for many years, I realised that I rarely review it. In fact, I think this must only be my third review and I have been returning here for over 25 years. What I love about the place, apart from the location and the weather, which are both fabulous, is the way there is always something a bit different for me to find on my return, for example new rooms or an extension of the outdoor spaces. This year the pool bar was refitted to enable lunch to be served buffet style mainly for the all inclusive guests, but also for those of us who do not choose that option to have lunch in a truly stunning setting. I will say again that I have always found the Hotel staff to be very friendly, helpful and willing to deal quickly with any issues that need resolving, not that there are any on my part. Yet again this year the rooms were cleaned daily and bed linen and towels replaced as per the website. The food range on offer for breakfast and lunch is plentiful and more than adequate for the different tastes of the all the guests who come from various places across Europe and the UK. I do not stay all inclusive as I love getting out into Pefkos, Lardos or Lindos to eat in traditional greek restaurants. That too is all part of what makes my holiday so good. Many thanks once again to Chris and the team for a making my stay a fantastic, restorative holiday, Loved every minute

Well, we have never had such a hotel. The hotel can have a maximum of 2 stars due to the natural beauty and unspoiled premises. Laughter is included. Do you have tokens to get 1 plastic glass for a drink, where you choose water or alcohol. Are you outside at the food queue and table every time because there is only 1 restaurant open and with too few staff to serve even though there is room. No dessert. Do you buy water and shower gel in the hotel when you have everything included? Would it be enough for you to sleep during the day if there were only cookies? How long will you always eat the same thing for breakfast. Although let's face it, it's a pretty tasty meal and the staff is helpful.

Everything was amazing.. Though it's not a perfect place for kids and no-swimmers, it is perfect the way it is. Clean and amazing water, trees on the beach, so much quiet made the perfect place for us. Careful people, super cleaning service and great maintenance staff. The food not always "super" for our taste, but fine enough (maybe Ilyssion will improve that a little). For us holidays are not about food, so I happily gave five stars!
