Nautilus Barbati

It's a good 3-star hotel with a great view from the pool area and nice platforms over the cliffs with plenty of fish, swimming right next to you (so don't forget your swimming mask or glasses). Food it quite simple, rooms are decent, don't expect anything fancy from 3-star hotel. Air conditioning is available for extra fee of 6 euros/day. Partial see view from the balcony was stunning.

Stayed here for 5 nights on all inclusive basis. It may depend on your travel agency but for us it was only £15 or so to upgrade and it made total sense.

This is a small hotel and expectations should be inline with that. I understand some people may be disappointed if they expected a 5 star resort type of services and facilities. Overall we found the hotel to be a good value.

Rooms: Yes, they are outdated and fairly simple but they are kept clean. Our room had an incredible sea view and a balcony in the building between the main building and beach.

Food: I’ve found buffet food served on all inclusive to be delicious. Usually 2-3 selection of mains to choose from.

Drinks: All inclusive drinks are a bit limited (beer,gin,tequila, rum and ouzo). All inclusive cocktails are only served between 20-23 pm and its their choice of cocktail on that day.

Beach: Not really a beach so to say, more like platforms over the rocks with stairs into see. As other comments mentioned people with low mobility or small children may have trouble. Clear water, a bit on the colder side but this is subjective as I like really warm sea normally. Lots of fish if you like snorkeling. No loud music, very calm and relaxed environment. We have taken the free shuttle to the nearby pebble beach but preferred hotel’s calm platforms.

Overall the hotel has a very relaxed vibe, party goers may be bored but we really enjoyed this atmosphere.

The clientele hotel attracts also contribute to the relaxed environment. No loud/drunk tourists. Most people are cheerful and respectful to each other. There are young couples, groups of friends, families and pensioners. All seem to be getting along well.

Staff has also been great. Leandras on the beach bar has been great as well as the ladies at the pool bar. Kitchen staff are also amazing and cheerful. Same goes for the cleaning staff who have done a great job.

They were also kind enough to let us store our luggage and use facilities on the day of our checkout as we had a late evening flight.

I would definitely recommend this place! A hotel with a beautiful view of the sea, after going down few steps you can jump into the sea right away!! The rooms are completely sufficient (after all, you only sleep there anyway) the staff is very nice, friendly and helpful. The food is delicious, I think everyone will find something for themselves. There are many places worth visiting around, but it will probably be worth renting a car, I would love to come back again!

Such a lovely hotel! We went in Sept 2023 Amazing food, we went out to eat one night in the town next to Barbati and wasn’t worth it at all! The food in the hotel is too good! The town next it is about an 10 min taxi and has lots of bars and restaurants and a beach too on the strip. Unfortunately you do have to pay for aircon each day at the hotel even if all inclusive but it’s worth it for sure. Amazing dancing and singing nights! We were all inclusive and we 100% felt we got our moneys worth. There’s not much around to do unless you drive but Barbati beach is so lovely (free van ride down there) not to mention their own private area on the rock down below, I was there 24/7!! Room was small but fine for us. Very clean and not noisy at all. A lot of spaces on sun loungers near the pool, sometimes not many on the rock areas below. But there’s a bar there too! Staff were nice and a good vibe all around. 100% would go back again. There was so much I loved.

Very gut view, very nice people, they understand many languanges, nice activity, cats, pool, sea on a stoney cliff like forest with bar. But not much around, need to take bus to city, bus will go but not really by schedule, can walk only on road, road bussy, road danger, Not many bus (~ once an hour)

Really great hotel with lots of sun loungers both down on the platform by the sea and by the pool.

Breakfast was fairly mediocre but supper was really good.

Aircon was €6 per night in the room and even though the website says there is a ceiling fan there is not. (hence why i removed a star)

the platform into the sea was great though the sea could be a bit choppy as it wasn't protected by a bay but it was private and there was a shower down by the sun loungers as well as the bar

The beach shuttle was great leaving at 9:30, 14:30 and 17:30 from the hotel though you had to pay for sun loungers there and it was a lot more busy. there were also showers there. sunloungers on Barbati beach ranged from €10 to €35 depending on how nice they were etc.

The pool and sea are not protected but there was a small playground in terms of it being kid friendly.

Honestly can’t fault it for the price! 3 friends and I stayed here for 7 nights and had the best time.
We were half board and the food was really good with a decent variety of meats and fish. The staff were so lovely and helpful, the rooms were very clean and sweet.
There is a little walk down to a platform by the sea which is amazing. Could easily paddleboard to the next beach along!
Definitely worth a stay couldn’t recommend more!
