AKS Porto Heli Hotel

This is the place to stay if you want to get a real feel for the warmth & charm of Porto Heli & its people, rather than a cold, impersonal hotel. The hotel is very well located, with a beautiful beach right in front. The lounge, interior spaces, are bright and spacious, offering plenty of natural light. The location is ideal for relaxing walks into the centre where you will find tavernas, restaurants and bars right on the marina. The staff were very efficient and friendly and gave wonderful assistance with every need of our visit. Our room was spacious, bright, beautifully decorated, and offered an amazing sea view from the third floor. The bed was very comfortable with a choice of pillows to suit everyone. The cleaning staff were diligent and attentive, ensuring that our room would be spotless every day. Breakfast was excellent with plenty of options. The pool was fantastic with crystal clear water and the hotel restaurants were a pleasant surprise, exceeding our expectations. My daughter and I stayed for 5 nights and we will definitely return next summer season to this peaceful and friendly atmosphere.
A big thank you to all the staff at AKS PORTO HELI HOTEL!

Excellent place!!! I think is the best place in the area!!! Friendly people and good food!!!! Splendid swimming pool and the room is amazing!!! Next year I’m sure I’ll be going back in the same direction!!! The activities for the children is amazing

Fantastic hotel, pool and amazing staff - in August it is very much a family focused hotel with many young families so bear this in mind dependant upon your preference. Some local restaurants a short walk away, and other around 15 minute walk to the town which was fine for us but may be far for younger children or repetitive beyond 7 days. However, we had incredible food eating out for the week we stayed in the evenings. My main concern was the beach :( It is very unclean, cigarette ends everywhere, plastic and rubbish. This was disappointing as we told reception. There was no attempt to clean it and we were there a week. The girl working at the beach bar wasn’t aware of this being done. Given they capitalise on their lovely beach in advertising, they need to take responsibility for their environment. The beach is small and gritty sand, so it needs to do better at looking appealing. Do not currently come for the beach. The pool is however lovely. Until I see a photo of the beach clean or someone doing this I don’t have faith it will be done. Some of the ‘Garden View’ rooms are located on higher floors with limited views and you may look out onto the concrete second level balcony jutting out from the building. However, we could see the sea which was lovely, and preferred this room compared to one at ground level as the hotel did offer to move us. Overall a wonderful stay made better by fantastic, friendly staff but a mismanaged beach which needs to be addressed urgently by managers because this lets the hotel and its reputation down for me which is a pity, especially for the environment they celebrate on Facebook but are currently neglecting.

The hotel is great value for money. We stayed for 3 days with breakfast and dinner which are both served in a really great buffet. Rooms and all common areas are very clean and personnel are polite and helpful. The swimming pool was great for kids and the hotel was accessible in a nice location. Minor complain would be the A/C which was a bit noisy in our room but it was taken care of. If you are looking for a hotel in the area AKS is recommended.

Good hotel but there are big points of improvement especially for the huge price increase compared to last years. Last year we booked a hotel like this for 1300 eur last minute, this year it was 2000 eur months before the summer. The buffet is great, good quality food but the staff needs guidance. In the morning all tables are ready to be used but every night when we had dinner, only half of the tables were ready to be used. My daughter wanted to sit at a specific table but there was nothing on it and even if we sat down with our food, the staff saw us but never did anything, we had to get knifes etc our selves. There was never a senior to guide the staff. What was a big issue was the pool, there was so much chlorine in it that the bottom of my kids feet became red, I opened my eyes a couple of times under water while playing and I had blurred vision for half a day, very bad! The laundry service is also ridiculously expensive, 3 eur to was a shirt, either for grown ups or for kids.

We visited for 3 nights while exploring the nearby islands and we were super happy! The staff are very friendly and accommodating! We had a junior suite in the 5th floor with a breathtaking view! The facilities were great and easy to get to from anywhere. The pool was a way we ended each long day and I must say that it was the highlight! Huge pool and great services like quick delicious food. Talk about delicious food, the breakfast each morning was a delight! The front desk staff and our room cleaning staff were just so nice! I wholeheartedly recommend!! Can’t wait to return!

Checked in late at night but went as smooth as possible.

Ocean view room was spacious and clean. Fresh, nicely pressed sheets on the bed.

The breakfast should not be missed, fruit, meats, cheeses and hot food as well - I don't why but recommend the rice pudding I was a big fan 😅. Having your breakfast as you look upon the ocean is blissful.

Gym gets the job done if you know what you're doing. Pool is big and welcoming. Bar is open until "1AM" or there abouts. Personnel are accommodating and helpful.

15min walk from the town. Plenty of delightful restaurants in and around the town. Costa Rica has some excellent gyros.

Costa dock is ~10min taxi to catch water taxis to the Spetsas etc - which is great in its own right.

Great value, very comfortable stay, solid location, and exceptional personnel. 5/5 would recommend.

Spacious rooms with wonderful comfy beds, good size bathroom and balcony. Amazing varied food which suits all tastes and cooked to perfection. Desserts delicious, attentive staff, wonderful hospitality, large clean pools, beautiful gardens with grass. Great place for young families with children with lots of daily activities. A wonderful experience generally and will definitely return.

Great location with great views on the bay and the village and its byzantin Church on the other shore. The rooms are spacious and confortable. Everything is clean and tidy, the personnel is adorable. Spécial mention to panayotis the barman and to plaît The butler always caring about customers. We’ll be back!
