Eftalia Ocean Hotel

We stayed for a week in a 3 bed swim up room. The hotel itself is very well equipped. The room was brilliant, nice and clean, the house keepers kept the supply of soft drinks topped up all week. The food was good at the hotel, if a little stressful if you went during the busy periods, if you went after the rush it was far more relaxed. We didn’t use the main pool at all, which says a lot about the swim up room pool. The occasions we walked past though, it was very slippy so I suggest pool shoes to try and combat this. Also the flooring in general was very slippy when wet throughout the hotel. The location wasn’t the greatest in terms of getting out and exploring, unless we didn’t venture far enough. We did find a beautiful restaurant on the sea front called Star Beach Club which was extremely good food and value for money. We had a holiday rep looking after us called Sergio, we lost a suitcase and he worked hard to locate and get it returned for us, brilliant service from him. The beach bars on the island seemed quiet, I think these could’ve been utilised better and made to be more inviting, they kept the lights off until people wanted to use the area. We hired a gazebo which was serviced for a day, brilliant service, they kept our drinks topped up and even brought us all lunch which was delicious. Overall it was a nice stay and no real issues at all.

The hotel is really nice. Great pools and slides for a family to use. Food is decent for an all inclusive but the dining hall is very busy on an evening or it was on the May bank Holiday week. Could be a bit noisy due to the amount of people in the dining area.

This is our second visit, and we have already booked our next trip for next year. We stay in the swim up room as it's more private as it's separated from the hotel so if you need a nap you don't get disturbed by passing guests. The hotel is spotlessly clean. There are cleaners endlessly working, and you won't find mess anywhere. The private island is amazing, and to spend the day on a cabana on the beach and to be waited on and nothing too much trouble really is a special touch. On-site in the shops is rather expensive, obviously, but there is a supermarket up the road from the hotel.

Amazing value – we had such a great time! There's so much to do, with the island nearby as well as everything available at the resort. The schedule for activities is clear, and most things are included. The food on the island was very nice, and the majority of the staff were lovely. I’ve never seen a place cleaned so frequently – as soon as you put your glass down, it’s taken away! The hotel was spotless from top to bottom. The rooms were of a good standard; just be aware that duvets aren’t used – only blankets. Would definitely consider visiting again!

If you want to go on holiday to have a good time do not come here and waste your money. Its a big scam this should be 3 stars not 5. I have been to 3 stars which were 100x better. You have to wait in the queue for drinks and food and even for a soft drink. Honestly don’t waste your time and money coming here. All the staff look miserable. Don't allow yourself to be fooled by the beach bars and all the “extras” that you have to pay for … £740 for a week you have high expectations as its a “5 star” but its no where near worth the price or hassle coming here.
