Upon arrival at 3 in the morning, we were given our keys and the man at check in let us enter the dining room to eat after our tiresome flight. In the morning, we woke up and realised our view was blocked by a very large, overlooking tree. We spoke with our Tui rep who was very helpful and managed to get us a sea view room which is what we had paid extra for. For the best part of our stay, the relax pool was attended by a very angry blond - haired lady. Hour by hour, day by day, she would constantly turn children away despite them having made no noise in the pool. On one occasion, she turned away a baby and told the mother to take it to the children's pool even tho it wasn't making any noise or causing bother to any other guests who clearly didn't mind their presence. Every time a child came, she would tell them to leave. On our last day, the pool was now attended by a man. Many children making noise and splashing (which nobody minded) were not being told off which supports the fact that the woman was clearly too strict. Other staff throughout the resort such as drivers and cleaning staff were attentive and hard at work. The map located on the arcade wall states there is a fish spar and when I inquired at reception about it, I was told they didn't have one. Our room was also full of spiders, ants and mosquitoes that bit us during the night. We were forced to use a towl to kill them. The toilet matt was also dirty and the bath had chips and marks. I also find it bizarre that there is an extra fee if you want to keep your room past 11am which is the time one must vacate their room by. The food, which was rather bland, is clearly set up for tourism and a British target audience. Having OCD, I find it disgusting when I see children putting food on their plates then changing their minds and putting it back. They also don't use the provided serving spoons. Also, it's rather off-putting to see a grown man with his bare feet and legs out on another chair.

Zeus hotels After travelling for 8 hours and arriving at 9pm we were told our block had ‘no electricity’.’ Our family and a few others were told we could not stay and were taken to their other 5* hotel Blue Sea Beach (Stalis) by taxi. We were offered food before we left. We are given all inclusive at the new place which was very nice. Reading other reviews, this is not uncommon, but we weren’t expecting it, we just wanted to relax and unpack. Overbooking seems to be a common issue here and the other hotel is used regularly- our room (362) was ready the following morning (as check out is at 11) but we spent a while waiting at Stalis for our taxi (supplied by the hotel). The story about no electricity didn’t stack up as the other people we came back with were put in other blocks and there were people already in the other rooms. We would have preferred honesty. When we did finally arrive at Zeus, as a sweetener, we were given 2 x 30mins massages in the spa, which we used. There was a push to spend more but I declined as we hadn’t had the best start. The massages however, were lovely. Room Room 362 was half way up the hill overlooking the sea and also the main pool/childrens pool, there was loud music all day so no chance of a siesta and the towels were out very early. The room had sun in the afternoon and early evening . Typical Greek basic style but clean and adequate for a two week holiday. Room cleaned daily. Good air con - thank you! However, the Wifi wasn’t good at all! The suite had two rooms, with adjoining door giving some privacy to our daughter, and two balconies. Very hard single bed though - our daughter found it very uncomfortable and had to put a duvet under her, which didn’t really improve things. When we first used the shower it flooded the bathroom as the drain was bunged up. Also, the hairdryer started smoking but a call to reception got things sorted very quickly. Maintenance are very prompt in their golf buggies and will also take you up the hill if needed. It’s very steep and tough in 30 degree heat! The hotel has a mix of nationalities- including lots of Germans and French. Beautiful Gardens- well maintained. An abundance of noisy crickets! A lovely spot, it does feel like a liitle bit of paradise. Pools No lifeguard at pools (apart from 2 in the waterpark) although all signs at the pools mention a life guard! No enforcement of towels on sun beds, no chance of a bed at all unless you got up very early, no spare beds that could be used when it gets busy. Unsupervised children were left for hours on end, presumably it would be up to the other guests to help/save them! The soft drinks/slush tasted sickly sweet. However the coffees were good. We spent all our days at the relax pool. Joanna was amazing there - keeping everyone in check. She made our holiday and helped us to relax! Thank you Joanna! She ensured there were no ball throwing and asked people to be respectful and quiet - she was sometimes ignored. Si

Stayed here in August 2023, myself, my wife and 18 year old son Room: Quite quirky, smallish but suitable. Cleaned regularly and to a reasonable standard. Not a great deal of storage space. Air con was good (can’t remember if there was a charge). We were quite high up the hill, it was a struggle in the heat and even more so in the evenings after the main meal! Restaurant: Again this was clean. Plenty of choice and warm at all times. Different menu each night. Pool areas: Obvious selling point of this hotel is the water park. Me and my son spent several hours on the slides. Lazy river doesn’t have any flow to it so you are pretty much motionless. Stayed round the main pool once but we found this too loud for us. Spent most of our time at the relax pool at the top of the hill. On occasions it wasn’t too relaxing with people jumping or diving in. There was one member of staff who did stick to these rules by regularly telling guests not to jump or dive in. However, when her shift finished it turned into a free for all Reception area: Reception staff helpful. Reception are wasn’t particularly comfortable or clean. The fabric sofas had seen better days. Location: It wasn’t great for us. Nowhere really to walk to and when we did we felt we were walking on a busy main road. Overall: Great for families. Would consider going again but would probably go out of main season or hire a car to get around and discover.

Rooms are dated but practical. Also food was a downside. I was expecting local cuisine. However the location was absolutely fantastic. Also big shouts for staff especially cleaners as they were always happy and welcoming. The kids really enjoyed the water park. Would recommend

So for start the kitchen and most of the staff were lovely. I’m gluten free and the head chef could not have been more accommodating or helpful. They even made me gluten free pizza and walked me through everything I could eat. Unfortunately the rooms were the biggest let down and the hotel is not 4 star hotel more like 2/3. The rooms were incredibly dated and dirty. There was marks on the sheets, marks where the tiles had not been cleaned. Even wrappers on the floor and mug marks on the tables. The bathroom felt unclean and bugs came out of the rotten wooden window when we opened it. We arrived at 4am and went to ask for another room. We were met with a very unhelpful and rude man who stated there was no other rooms and ‘it was only a little dirty’. We then complained to our TUI rep who agreed the room wasn’t as advertised and even pulled a face when we showed her the photos. We then we’re given another room which felt cleaner (at least it didn’t have white marks on the sheets) but it was in no way 4 star. We were then plagued with ants which got into the bed and resulted in many bites. Most of the hotel has a big problem with ants. Please also note that you have to pay to use the safes daily. You also have to pay to lock your luggage away after check out (these are one time use) and if you take it out you have to may again. It has potential but the rooms themselves have just been left to fall apart.

Awful Awful hotel. We were sent here by Easyjet when Luton Airport closed due to fire. For starters this is in no way a 4 ☆ Hotel, more like a 1 ☆ as far as the rooms are concerned. We were put in a room at the top of the hill and the pool, restaurant etc were at the bottom of the hill. My friend who is 86 years old with 2 knee replacements could in no way walk up or down that hill and although there is a golf buggy to take you and your luggage to the room, it wasnt available if we had wanted to go to the restaurant or pool. There were no pillows provided for 2 of the beds, nor towels. (Although were provided when requested) The room and curtains were marked and stained. The doors were rotten. The fridge, although switched on, wasn't even remotely cold. The room was very dated and dark, with a very small window, so even in the daytime the light needed to be on. The only wall light over the bed wasnt working and had exposed wires. In order to get to the shower room there were 2 steep steps, a trip hazard particularly during the night. When we asked to be moved due to the above, we were told all the rooms are the same. However, I looked online on the hotels official website and the images show completely different rooms. Despite the risk that Easyjet wouldnt cover the cost of moving back to our original hotel we left immediately without even unpacking and went back to the lpvely 4☆ Arminda Spa hotel. Annnnnd Breathe!

Spent two weeks here in August and it was brilliant. The kids spent most of their time messing about in the aquapark looked after by a great life guard. Animation team were good but to be totally honest the evening entertainment was a bit hit and miss. Nothing a few extra beers didn't alleviate. Rooms are basic but who goes on holiday to sit in their room. The views were amazing from the top of the hill. And yes it's hilly. Do your research and don't book if it's a problem. Food was amazing. Plenty of choice and the chefs were great. Have a chat with them! The guy who looked after the dining room was really attentive and worked so hard to make sure everything was spick and span. The guys on the bar were also lovely chaps even though they did confuse me when the swapped places! All in all if you're looking for a great value place to spend a week or two it fits the bill perfectly.

Just returned from a 10 day stay here and what a fantastic hotel,the rooms(ours anyway,526) were in a cottage style ,simply furnished but with a/c,fridge and a decent shower and comfy bed and a sea view that looked out over the town of Hersonnisos and beyond.
Didn't spend much time here in the evenings,they could do with some entertainment around the bar area,although I gather there is nightly kid based entertainment,
There are 4 pools to choose from,we spent most of our time around the relax pool,the one afternoon we spent by the main pool you were deafened by the music,poor quality pop covers,there never likely to be music played to my taste but it could be better than this,also so loud it was distorted,that said there were a good range of activities,water polo etc
The hotel provide a shuttle bus throughout the day to and from nearby Star beach although you are in no obligation to go in there (we didn't), it's handy to save a late night walk back up the hill
All in all I would highly recommend staying here ,it has something for everyone

Arrived back in the UK 28/07/23 from 1 week stay at the village resort, booked through Tui. 2 adults 2 children (aged 10yrs & 7yrs) Great week, everything was exactly as described. Reception staff very helpful, nothing too much trouble. Our room was a 60 second walk from the main pool, a slight hill but it was fine. I did email to request a lower room rather than high in the hills if possible and the request was granted which we were thankful for! The room was spotless, cleaned daily with fresh towels and sheets. Food was great, lots of choice for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We tried the Al a carte Italian, but didn’t realise it was a set menu, would not recommend for fussy children or vegetarians. The kids used the kids snack bar and enjoyed the mini hot dogs, burgers & ice creams. Entertainment was good, the mini disco was too young for our children but they enjoyed the magic show and the fire show during our stay. The waterpark was also fab for our children! We paid €40 deposit for 4 towels to use at the pool and waterpark (saved us a lot of room in our cases when packing!) We spent most of our time at the main pool, we got sun loungers easy everyday. But I did notice how much busier the hotel was getting on our last 2 days. Overall a great family holiday at The Village Resort!
