Aphrodite Beach Hotel

"A very nice hotel, clean and comfortable. Our room's air conditioning was a bit slow, largely because the cleaners insisted on leaving the windows/doors to our room open once they'd been in the morning so the day's heat was allowed to penetrate inside. Why couldn't they shut everything after, say, thirty minutes or whatever? Clearing this took more power than the air con units could really muster. A small matter really as we weren't uncomfortable. Breakfast was good enough, fresh eggs, bread, pastries etc. The taverna/cafe was very good, authentic Greek food...and I don't mean waterfront/beach tourist Greek Salad authentic. Very tasty, very basic, good value and plenty of it. Visited by many from outside the hotel, who also used the hotel's pool. Mid day the pool was complete mayhem. Children turned the pool into a warzone running laps, divebombing, lilo fights screaming and shouting. I witnessed hotel guests arguing with pool visitors (non-hotel guests) over sunbeds, and the visitors lying they did indeed stay at the hotel and were Jet2 clients - highly unlikely as they were clearly Dutch! I also noticed visitors removing a guest's shirt and towel from a bed so they could use it, even though visitors are only allowed the use of a small fraction of sunbeds. A really poor experience, and we didn't use the pool area for the rest of the holiday. I brought the matter up with reception who thanked us for mentioning it but stated non hotel guests only used the pool at weekends, but this was clearly not the case. We asked why there wasn't an occasional pool attendant and were told staff were too busy working in the restaurant as they get a lot of outside visitors! We had a hire car and were thankful we hadn't elected to walk into town at night. Steep uphill for the first half mile, and if a warm night then a bit of a hike. Lots of people getting taxis, quite wisely, but Lesvos is a fantastic island with some very lovely places to visit - particularly restaurants, so why not hire a car and do the island justice? To summarise - a good hotel experience, marred by carnage at the pool. If you want the whole island experience then the Aphrodite is perfect, if you want lazy times by the pool with a book while your child plays then check you have ear plugs and your child is a confident swimmer and isn't deterred by groups of other kids racing, bombing, diving, screaming etc etc "

Eressian Hotel & Hammam Spa

"An excellent, beautifully refurbished old mansion with a perfect view of the down beneath. It has all the amenities you may need, the rooms are quite spacious and very quiet, but close to the town center. Breakfast is prepared on order when you request it. Most of all, the straff are extremely friendly and helpful."

Panorama Hotel

"We stayed here at the end August/ beginning September. Although we paid a very reasonable price with Jet2 I was surprised by the quality of the hotel. Rooms were generously sized, clean and well maintained. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was more than adequate for us. Some fresh fruit would have been nice, but we don't usually go for the'hot' options' having tasted Greek bacon and sausage. They also did a 3 course meal in the evening for 15 euros. We didn't eat there so cannot comment on the quality. The pool never seemed crowded, although i did notice a lot of sunbathing towels, despite signs asking you not to. This was probably because a lot of the sunbeds are under permanent shade. The hotel is 200m from.the best part of the Petra beach. Much of the beach is given over to beachclubs. They are a bit crowded with fixed umbrellas - one in the sun and the other in shade, swapping over around midday. The music can get quite load too - mainly europop and dance music. However they only require a minimum spend of 5 euros per person during the day and don't continually castle you to buy drinks. Ghe main town starts about 800m from hge hotel, on a level road. There are about 10 restaurants in the town. The menus are quite restricted compared to other places we have visited, with traditional Greek dishes, grills, pasta and pizzas. Most of them are family owned and service can be a bit haphazard. There are also a number serving fish at very reasonable prices. I had a large dorada for 18 euros and we shared a gigantic sea bass at 40 euros. Prices in most places were like you remember 5 years ago. 3 of us regularly ate for less than 60 euros, with a litre of housewife included. There isn't much nightlife in the village apart from some bars. Those in the centre get very busy. All in all, Petra and the Panorama are little gems if you want a relaxing holiday. The only downside of the hotel is that it is built on a steep hill. Seaview rooms are higher up so don't request on if you have limited mobility. Also, the WiFi seems restricted to the reception and pool area. We could pick it up on our balcony but not in the room. There is, however, an excellent 5g service if you have roaming."

Eleia Seafront Rooms & Villas

"The owner and staff couldn't have done more for us - they were all so lovely! Breakfast was amazing and different every day with different home made Greek treats. The Suite was beyond what we could have ever wanted, beautiful views from your own private pool. We cannot wait to come back! Emily & Luke"

Sunrise Resort Hotel

"Stunning place. On arrival we thought ho no to many steps and big cases to carry, but the hotel show you to your rooms and bring your case up to you. We booked sea view room absolutely stunning view big balcony and spacious rooms. Bathroom dated but wasn't a problem. Very clean 👌 fridge with drink and snacks in although you do have to pay for these. Rooms cleaned every day with fresh towels. Coffee tea and kettle. 2 pools one adults if you like quiet. Breakfast ok although I'm fussy with food abroad I always found something and you can request fried eggs or a omelette. Staff very friendly, 2 bars and very relaxing places to site. We walked down into molivos although the hotel has a free shuttle bus to take you down. The walk is about 20 minutes. Taxi up is 7 euros or you can take the free shuttle bus. Iron's also available on request at no charge, safe in rooms no charge. Free WiFi that works brilliant. All in all it's a perfect hotel would definitely book again. Not good for people with walking disability due to lots of steps."
