Iakinthos, Tsilivi Beach Mini-hotel

Just back from a week at this hotel.. I’ll start with the negatives.. this hotel is nothing like the pictures, and definitely not 4 star. The rooms are old and in dire need of improvement, the shower/bathroom was nice a bit like a wet room. Our room over looked the pool and restaurant.. not ideal when trying to get changed! The rooftop bar wasn’t open which was one of the things that had attracted us to the hotel. The food was average, not much vegetarian alternatives, salad was nice and fresh.. (thankfully!) reminded me of school dinners at times. Positives, the staff are brilliant, every single one of them was friendly and accommodating, our room was cleaned every day and I have to say the room always smelt clean.. I should have realized that being part of the Blue resort it would be similar to the one we stayed in Majorca and had I of realised before booking wouldn’t have booked! You get towels for the pool at 5€ deposit for the week, you can change them between 9-3.

Hotel clean, rooms cleaned every day, towels changed and even bedding changed once a week. Food ok, no one went hungry but snacks average. Poor choice of alcohol. Poor animations. Great location. Wonderful and always helpful Mrs. Małgosia from the reception.

Awesome hotel, awesome food, cant complain, nice entertainment guys, and MOST OF ALL LUV THE BASKETBALL COURTTT. Sending love to Pani Małgosia

I am staying at this hotel at the moment , and what I will say is we are loving it here , everything is spotless , the food is lovely and plentiful , it’s an all inclusive buffet , I have stayed at a lot of all inclusive hotels and this is lovely , so ignore the bad reviews , I’m glad I did !! It’s prime location , and friendly staff here don’t deserve the haters !!

So, after reading many reviews on here i was a little apprehensive about the holiday and unsure what experience we were going to have! Firstly, I’d just like to let anyone know who is reading this review, that the hotel is well worth a visit! The reception staff were welcoming and helpful, both our rooms were not ready when we arrived, this was 1pm, but they made sure that we started our holiday as soon as we walked through the doors, by making all of the facilities were available to us, there were 4 of us Two couples. Our rooms were ready within the hour. Both of our rooms were good, great views and good size. Our room was like a penthouse, Balcony was massive, and we were overlooking the beach and sea. The doors to the balcony have sliding glass doors, these were open all the time we went away early May and the sound of the sea lapping the beach was beautiful at night. The cleaners came on a daily basis, Towels were changed every day, and there was also the complementary soaps and shampoos. Beds were firm and comfy and remade daily. There was two large wardrobes and a cupboard, one of the wardrobes had a safe in that didn’t require a deposit to use. We visited on an all-inclusive basis and after reading the reviews regarding food I was a little worried as I love a good feed! Breakfast- virtually the same every morning but there was a good selection of cereals, cooked eggs of all variations, sausages, bacon, fruits (fresh and dried) and fresh breads. Plenty to choose from! The cooked foods were all labelled and at a good temperature. Dinner had a good selection and varied every day, plenty of salads and fruits. Evening meal- again, plenty to choose from and varied again from night to night. There wasn’t really a problem with labelling as I thought there may be with other reviews I have read. Also, the food was kept at a good temperature. Pools bar- only one was open when we went, but plenty of drinks were available and kids mocktails Pools snack wasn’t in full swing either as we went early season, but you could get sandwiches snacks & and ice creams. You never go hungry when it comes to food available. The pool area was great, not too cold and the pool gradually got deeper from one end to the other. so it’s great for all ages! There is a very small pool for the very little ones at a depth of 0.4m. Theres’s toilets at the pool area and one of them is equipped with a shower. There are also other outdoor showers at the side if the pool. There is a deeper pool for swimming nearby. The beach is literally at the back of the hotel just down a few steps, also great for kids as you can walk out 50 od yards and still be only up to your waist, and its lovely. Massive shout out to the entertainment team especially Matt and Julieana, they both put themselves out to chat and encouraging you to have a good time, Juliana is brilliant at entertaining the kids and goes the extra mile to keep them occupied! They make you feel at home, again as it was early season

First time staying at this hotel. The location is awesome right in the beach. Breakfast was really good and ate looking over the sea. The rooms are very comfortable and clean. The staff are all very friendly and couldn't do enough for you. Would definitely stay here again.

Our second time at Tsilivi Beach, and it didn’t disappoint. We love this hotel so much wel be back next year. The food, cocktails and snacks are lovely. Always something to eat. The staff are always lovely and happy to help. If you need to hire a car, see the lady on the table next to reception, she’s English and has great advice. She sorted us a car for 2 days no problems. There is 2 girls who do a bit of singing in the day which is nice round the pool. There’s always music playing but not to loud so chilled vibes. Our room was lovely and had a lovely view, see pics. As I said well be back and hopefully with all the family next year!
