The friendliness of the majority of staff. The front desk was very helpful. The rooms were very clean along with daily cleaning. The dining had a variety of food that was very good this included the buffet for breakfast and dinner as well as a la carte dining. The waiters and waitresses were personable with excellent service. The only issue in our room was the air conditioner that took awhile to resolve. Otherwise a great experience.

Really an exceptional property! I was very impressed, from the friendly staff to the beauty of the rooms and amenities! Honestly the staff makes this hotel about 20 times better than most other resorts I’ve been to, they are willing to go out of their way to make your stay the best it can be! The resort itself is beautiful, little pools everywhere with cabanas and comfy lounge chairs scattered. The beach area is pristine with umbrellas and a lovely bar that serves you at the push of a button. The food was phenomenal! You don’t even have to leave for any reason if you don’t want to, they have everything you need! Even a gym, daily yoga and shows at the pool bar! I highly enjoyed my stay and will be back!

The property is in Ammoudara and offers a beautiful oceanfront view with a beach lounge. We picked it because it was adults only and all-inclusive (minus drinks). The area around the property is a little rundown and not as much touristy shopping. It’s clear this resort is high-class compared to others we saw in the area.

The check in went smoothly. The property is nice , but you can’t swim in the pool after 7pm, and the room was on the tiny side. The pools were not heated.. Though I was promised a 2pm checkout by the receptionist at checkin, I was scolded for not calling at 11am the next day, which was uncalled for.

Lovely hotel with very friendly and helpful staff. We arrived late when all the restaurants were closed and a deli plate was waiting in our room. We were also given a meal in the a la carte restaurant for free which was very good. The beach and pool areas were both very nice with an adequate number of Sun loungers for the number of guests. We had a swim up room and would definitely recommend paying the extra. It gives you your own little terrace area and sun beds which was a really nice thing to have. The evening entertainment might not be for everyone but it’s easy to stay away if you want to. Food was good but not incredible, drinks were very good. We did half board and the prices for drinks and additional food were very reasonable.

Incredible hotel and value. Service and food were top notch! All around great experience. Great water that varies from calm to some little waves so something for everyone. Beach service was incredible and special shout out to Marios! The food at Armonia was world class. Not much of a breakfast person but found myself indulging nonetheless so that should tell you something! Regular rooms are very clean with patio and room cleaning is world class! Look forward to seeing our friends again! Thanks Paralos!

Based on all the high reviews and “4 star” status, we were expecting this to be a much nicer hotel. Pros: - Nice beach view - convenient poolside service - friendly and helpful staff Cons: - crowded on the beach, can be difficult to find a chair during the day - the rooms have very poor soundproofing, and a lot of noise can come from the hallway at night - our AC was not working the first night, and we didn’t realize this until it was very late in the night - the electricity in the room doesn’t work unless you put your key card in the wall, and they only give you one key card. So if you plan on coming back to a cold room at the end of the day, think again! It takes over an hour to cool down even after our AC was fixed. What kind of “luxury” hotel does this?

Pros: we loved the hotel. Beautiful and very well planned out. The staff were fantastic and very warm. Great service. The pool staff do need to wear visors in the sun though. The choice of food and wine was very good and covered a variety of diet options. We also had massages (not included in the package) and they were excellent. Cons: the air conditioning in our room suddenly didn't work so we needed to move rooms towards the end of the trip. The staff were how ever quick to move us to another smaller room for the night and to an equivalent room the next day.

What a great time we had at this place.! The room was not big but big enough and had a good bed, shower and hairdryer. It was very clean. The food at the hotel was absolutely great and we decided to have diner everynight in the hotel instead of going out for dinner. The people were very friendly and we had a small problem on our balcony with ants one day, after calling the reception it was solved right away. You walk directly up on the beach where you had great beds to lay on and a good service. You could ring the bell and enjoy a drink or lunch. Every night there was something, a little dance show or live singers. We feel very relaxed and happy. For sure no doubt to book and come here again!
