Hydra Beach Resort

Beautiful location on the shore of the Aegean opposite the islands of Doukos ,& Idra. Hotel and grounds kept very clean and tidy. Always staff cleaning and groundsmen keeping the extensive garden beautiful. The down side is it is in a very isolated location. So expected some sort of entertainment and program of events. None was forthcoming. A peaceful start was welcome then all hell broke loose from Friday to the Monday. A whole school of kids arrived with adults who had very little control of their charges. Scooters whizzing through the buffet area and into reception. Disgraceful ,,the little darlings took massive amounts of food they didn't eat. So if you want to book, check Greek school holidays and ask the question about school party bookings. Our room was adequate, nice bathroom with walk in shower. No hot drink facilities available which seemed odd ,for a supposed 5,☆hotel. Perhaps not the thing in Greece. Breakfast and lunches were good but dinner disappointing. Most food was over cooked and just about warm. Wine and water was in abundance at lunch & dinner. Pool area was good though could do with an adult only pool. Between the 3 beaches sun loungers with parasols were readily available. Not so sure this would be the case in peak season. To sum it up for an all inclusive deal not the best I have been to. Location splendid. Beds very comfortable. I must give a shout out to reception staff who were brilliant, especially Jessica who helped us out with a problem we had ,( not hotel related,):

Μείναμε στο ξενοδοχείο για δύο μέρες με τα παιδιά μας.. εξαιρετικά όλα. Προσωπικό ευγενεστατος. Δωμάτια πεντακάθαρα και με απόλυτη ησυχία..Τα εστιατόρια κυρίως το κεντρικό...ΕΞΑΙΡΕΤΙΚΑ... Πισινα πεντακάθαρη και βρίσκαμε ξαπλώστρες πάντα..Το mini club για τα παιδιά και αυτό εξαιρετικό..Σε γενικές γραμμές ένα 10/10...Το συνιστώ ανεπιφύλακτα

Beautiful gardens, great food, and an outlook that really is breathtaking. Busy at the weekend but the resort is big enough to cope in the restaurant, pool and beach. The food was high quality and varied, and the deserts were fantastic. The beach has plenty of sun beds and the view of Hydra is spectacular.

La vue de restaurant

One of the first resorts in Greece and familiar setting in Greek movies of ‘60’s and 70’s, it has been transformed to a modern resort, retaining its charm and the vintage elements. Tucked in a secluded area, overlooking Hydra, the most (if only) practical way to be approached is by private car. Although relatively small in size, it offers a great variety of activities and amenities, in its well-maintained facilities, scattered amidst the fascinating surroundings. On the other side, the beach is nice enough, but not its strong spot, surely. The rooms are spacious, airy and well equipped, although conventional and inconsistent -as if the renovation is still ongoing. The same impression is given by the common areas, with the exception of the main building, which is elegant and sleek. We have had the opportunity to check the catering options on several occasions and they ‘ve been far above average, with plenty of freshly prepared choices throughout the day, continuously replenished to make sure all the patrons (of all ages) are served. A special mention to the service, which has been, in all circumstances, eager to assist and flexible enough to meet the needs of the clientele.

Πέρασα μια πολύ δυσάρεστη εμπειρία.Εξαιτίας του περιστατικού που υπέστη, αναγκάστηκα να παρατείνω τη διαμονή μου στο ξενοδοχείο για μία ακόμα νύχτα μέχρι να αναρρώσω. Ο υπεύθυνος υποστήριξε ότι πρόκειται για μια ιογενή γαστρεντερίτιδα που “κυκλοφορούσε” από κάποιους τουρίστες, ενώ ο γιατρός που με εξέτασε μού επιβεβαίωσε πως πρόκειται ξεκάθαρα για τροφική δηλητηρίαση – όπως συνέβη και σε άλλα άτομα εκεί και αποδείχθηκε λάθος.Επίσης, έμαθα και περσινά περιστατικά με πρώην υπάλληλο του ξενοδοχείου ο οποίος έπαθε τροφική δηλητηρίαση και αυτός. Πραγματικά κρίμα, γιατί είχα επιλέξει αυτό το ξενοδοχείο αρκετές φορές στο παρελθόν λόγω των πολύ καλών εγκαταστάσεων του. Αν σκέφτεστε να το επισκεφθείτε, θα πρότεινα να αποφύγετε το All Inclusive, αλλά λόγω της δύσκολης τοποθεσίας που βρίσκεται θα ταλαιπωρηθείτε να πηγαινοέρχεστε για τα γεύματα σας.
