Atlantica Eleon Grand Resort

Had a lovely holiday at Atlantica Eleon, what a beautiful stay with my partner & daughter (11 yrs). The staff are AMAZING, such hard-working lovely kind people - working really long days in the heat yet always greeted you with a smile on their face . So accommodating & helpful too. People who have left negative reviews are nit picking, it’s a lovely hotel with lovely views overlooking the sea. We had a warm welcome on reception plus they had left food aside for us as we arrived about 11pm & they thought we’d be hungry (which we were). This was a lovely gesture. The Italian restaurant in the hotel (beside the pool) was outstanding, such a beautiful meal & a treat / change from buffet- recommend (you get 1 meal included in your stay) beautiful atmosphere & food. Friendly & professional staff. Beautiful vibe Lola (I think ?) Albanian staff member, was so lovely and bought my daughter a gift just before we left (for helping her pick some litter on the beach), was such a lovely surprise- she’s been showing off her purse to family since coming home. Just shows what the staff in this hotel are like! Above and beyond. Our daughter particularly liked Joe, Will and Chelsea in entertainment team .. and we loved Joe on the bar plus several staff members (sorry we didn’t get everyone’s names). The only downside is hotel is slightly out of the way, but also only €10 for a taxi to the nearest town where there are heaps of eateries, pubs and shops. But you could easily spend the week at the hotel if you’re not a fussy eater. FOOD: Pretty decent but same as every all inclusive it can become a bit samey. I’m Vegan and managed. I’m not a big breakfast person, had toast & jam + fruit, lunch I had a lot of salady stuff, pasta, rice , olives, chips etc.. and dinner much & such - but they always had veggie sometimes vegan options- there was heaps of salad, lentils, vegetables etc. pasta, chips. And a theme every night - we were sad as left on the day of oriental night so didn’t get to try that .. but the noodles etc looked tasty. You will get by as vegan but we did end up going for a Chinese in the next town 1 night.. and 1 night in the Italian restaurant which was as I said above a nice treat. I think 2 weeks as vegan might be a bit samey DRINK: You get what you pay for. This hotel was a pretty good deal/price so can’t expect everything to be high end. Beer was fine but tasted low percentage/maybe watered down- nice enough though . Wine was fine, Prosecco was the nicest drink of all, not to be fussy but cocktails were pretty samey and very sweet/syruppy. The drinks were flowing though and it was a lovely touch that they came by the poolside (top pool) taking drinks orders. There was also the option of paying for better quality drinks (I think) SNACK BAR: Great if you don’t want to get dressed to go inside for lunch. Good if you eat meat - hot dogs, chicken, chips, baguettes.. veggie -they had a veggie burger or salad sandwich… or just chips if

Extremely disappointing hotel. This is not a 5 star place in any shape or form. Food is the worst we’ve ever tried in any hotel in Greece, choice is really poor, hardly anything there. Everything is very run down and old. The gardens are very neglected, they can’t even be bothered to cut the grass. Rooms feel very old, in need of a serious refurb. shower by the pool and beach does not work at all, sun loungers are falling apart with holes in them, toilet by the pool is so dirty with floors constantly flooded. Literally everything here needs a lot of work to bring it to even a basic standard. We’ve been to Greece many times and in comparison to other places this is more like a 1 or 2 star hotel. Alcohol is another problem here, only the cheap Greek stuff which tastes super bad. We’ve spent over £3k on this holiday and this place is not worth even half that price. I would avoid this place and definitely WOULD NOT RECOMMEND

Everything was absolutely beautiful. The food was delicious, with a great variety and amazing flavors. The hotel itself was unique and full of charm. What made it even more special was the lovely staff – everyone was kind, friendly, and always smiling. We felt so welcome and well taken care of. The beach, surrounded by olive trees, was absolutely outstanding – peaceful, natural, and breathtaking. The color of the sea was incredible – crystal-clear with stunning shades of turquoise and deep blue. Truly unforgettable. Highly recommended!

Beautiful Hotel in a beautiful location. Cannot recommend this Hotel highly enough. The rooms are clean and spacious, the beds are very comfortable, the staff are friendly and attentive. We were in Room 333, and the lady who looked after the room was superb. In the restaurant, the food is delicious, with lots of choice every day. Excellent fresh fruit, bread and fish were appreciated. The chefs and waiters are highly skilled and efficient. The drinks were acceptable, despite being limited: for example no dark rum or martini. However, the beer and prosecco are delicious and refreshing and I did enjoy a white rum and fresh lemon juice from time to time. Thanks to Joe in the bar, had aperitif snacks delivered as well as good advice on drinks. Other bar staff were excellent as well. We had lovely walks on the coast, with wildflowers, superb views and lots of olive and lemon trees to admire! And the Atlantica Eleon is away from the tourist resorts so no tacky shops or bars. We especially liked using the loungers in the olive grove, calm and peaceful. The area by the pool has music and activities for those that want it, with all day drinks and snacks available. Further on from the olive grove loungers is a children's play area with water slides etc. We didn't take part in the evening entertainment, so cannot comment on that. Overall, thoroughly enjoyable and have no hesitation is thinking of going again.

4.5 star hotel - 6 adults travelling with two 7 month old twins for 1 week. When we first arrived we had a couple of issues which were quickly resolved by the team. After checking in we realised the lift was broken & my sister in laws room was on the first floor. Travelling with twins they had multiple bags/buggy’s etc and we’d been travelling since early hrs of the morning - her room was moved to a ground floor with a swim up pool which was very nice. my boyfriend & I didn’t have hot water for the first day but we were given access to another room to shower. When the shower couldn’t be repaired we moved into the second room the following day only a room down from the original which made it easy to transport our things. Although slightly inconvenient this didn’t dampen our holiday - as a family we received a spa voucher each which we redeemed as a 30 minute massage. This was incredible! Highly recommend, I would pay for this service if I visited again! Food: I would give 5* The buffet has different options every day, always very fresh and so tasty! We were so surprised at the variety for an all inclusive. We really enjoyed the different dinner themes and was especially impressed with the lunchtime buffet. We also ate at the Italian al la carte which was nice and the Greek. Personally I wouldn’t bother with the Greek, the buffet is actually nicer. Pool: really nice size pools, the baby pool was handy for us. Pools were freezing cold in May, they don’t seem to be heated at all but I’m sure this wouldn’t be a problem in the height of the season. There’s signs everywhere to say not to reserve sun beds but this didn’t seem to be policed. I can imagine in the height of summer it may be difficult to get a bed by the pool but there is plenty around the grass areas. Also the water slides were so much fun! Staff I would give 5* - everyone was incredibly friendly, approachable and attentive. The table service around the pool was excellent. The staff at the buffet remembered the babies names and were always on hand for drinks and cleared our plates very quickly. The bar staff were always very attentive and friendly. Most of all, Lola (the manager) and all the reception staff were the best, nothing was ever too much trouble and this really made our holiday. They were so helpful. Entertainment: loads of daily activities for adults & kids and lots of entertainment. The singer in the day & at the restaurants is a really lovely touch & we really enjoyed! Room: our room was quite far from reception/the pool with two buggies but we didn’t mind the walk. Family rooms are very nice size and had lots of fresh towels etc and rooms were freshened daily. Facilities: The shop on site is really good value for money and so handy for little bits might need / floats & gifts. Overall I think the hotel could be an excellent five star if it added a few touches. I think a drink on arrival & soft drinks and water in the room would make such a difference. Also i

This was our 4th stay at the Atlantica Eleon Grand resort and it lived up to the name Grand. The staff at this resort are amazing, they are so pleasant and professional. We Stayed in room 300 with a great view and the rooms are clean and comfortable, the cleaning staff do a great job. The bar staff are friendly and courteous and you don't have to move from your seat to get served The food is amazing so much to choose from with different themed nights and again you don't need to move and your servers are polite and helpful. Senior management are hands on and helpful along with all the staff. We really can't recommend this place strong enough it's brilliant. If you try any All Inclusive resort try this 1 you won't be disappointed!!!
