Lemnos Village Resort Hotel

Booked with Mark Warner. Lovely setting and wonderful sunsets viewed from the outdoor restaurant. Food excellent - some of the best experienced on an "active"/beach club holiday. Of concern was the amount of food that was left over at the end of meals! Range of water sports available for inclusive price, though tuition was not as good as usual on these holidays. However the beach area was run efficiently and safety was good. . Unfortunately, the opportunities for road and off road biking were very limited and rides classified as "easy " certainly were not for a beginner! One tennis court (of the three) was in a dangerous condition with the Astro Turf rutted. However, better to play on that than the other hard resin courts! Good range of fitness classes but limited range of equipment. The fitness staff were enthusiastic, fully trained and competent. With all activities no pressure to participate! A variety of villas were available, though most required access via a range of steps. The villas mostly have lovely views over the bay. The villa we stayed in was comfortable, though the shower over the bath leaked ( others had the same problem) which wasn't repaired. The bathroom needed serious renovation as dated and tired. The staff were primarily from Greece which was good, with most able to communicate in English. Manager and senior staff were English and were enthusiastic and competent. The staff/guests relationship created was excellent. A very relaxing, almost laid back, hotel.

Lemnos Village is our absolute favourite place. We went there three times last year, and we’re lucky enough to be going twice this year as well! There’s just something so special about the atmosphere, the people, and the peaceful vibe that keeps drawing us back. It really feels like a home away from home.

We have just returned from a week in Lemons as a couple with university age daughter. Great location just 25 minutes from the airport. Island is quiet and unspoilt. Interconnecting rooms booked with elevated view across the bay to the wonderful sunsets and grandstand position for the sailing area (should have brought binoculars). Room clean and tidy but in need of refurbishment (we were in ones that were billed as refurbished (?!). Bathroom tired. Bed comfortable but pillows and duvet definitely showing signs of it nearly being the end of the season. Cleaned daily although it would have been nice if the cleaner hadn’t turned up at 8.30 every day ! Towels a little threadbare and bath mats bleach stained and unravelling. Shampoo, shower gel and soap provided. No conditioner or body lotion. One pool towel each, again a bit threadbare but appreciated. Aircon very efficient. Pegs on the driers on the balconies. Activities :- Loved the bikes both road and mountain. Plenty of both. Tom and Ben very helpful and keen to tweak with odd minor issues. Lots of guided tours should you wish to ride in company. Good quality roads. Can’t speak for tennis as not our thing but seemed lively. Didn’t participate in the Tipsy Tennis ! Classes - plenty of choice. Outdoor yoga and Pilates a joy in the evening breeze. Aqua aerobics silly fun in the heat. Didn’t try anything more energetic. Watersports - daughter completed RYA 1 with Will and thoroughly enjoyed it. Only one other person on the course so practically private lessons. Plenty of kayaks and SUPs. Husband had a foil board lesson which was fun but sadly low winds prevented him from going out again. Windsurfing equipment plentiful with sails showing signs of end of season fatigue. Lots of people enjoying lessons. Beach staff really proactive helping with launching and landing. Straight into the water to assist. All pleasant and chatty. Rescue boats buzzing around constantly happy to bring you back in if you’d had enough or the wind had dropped off. Dinghies - good range & in great condition. Always something available even when the racing was on. Pool a perfect temp for swimming. Same depth throughout (1.4m). Really quiet. A joy to swim lengths. Never any issue with securing a sun bed. Toilets in childcare adjacent to pool in need of refurb and showers in the building very dated and cramped. Food was spectacular. Evening meals are buffet style taken outside. Daughter is a veggie and she was spoilt for choice. Not just the usual veggie burger. Fresh choice of salads, bbq meats, sea food etc. small selection for dessert but more than adequate and supplemented with a choice of ice creams. Better value to order carafes of wine than bottles. We all very much looked forward to 7.30 every night. Breakfast choice very good. Hot and cold and plenty of fresh fruit. This is taken upstairs. The area is a little cramped and gets quite busy. Slightly precarious with small, loose children and hot food
