Akrathos Beach Hotel

We had a wonderful stay at Akrathos Beach Hotel! The staff was warm and welcoming, and to our surprise, they upgraded our package to all-inclusive free of charge. The view was absolutely stunning, and we loved spending time by the pool and on the beautiful beach. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway!

We stayed at this hotel for 10 nights in September 2024. The transfer is 2 hours and we were in a mini bus with no air conditioning so sweltering! Wish we had done our research better (our own fault not the hotels) - there was nothing around us and we like walking but really not anywhere to walk other than the highway. Our room was clean and comfortable and hot showers which was lovely. We had a lovely balloon gift on arrival in our room as we were celebrating our wedding anniversary - a nice thought. The pool area was nice although they did not open the pool until 10am each day and I do like to have an early morning swim before children and inflatables arrive! There were plenty of sunbeds to choose from and the beach was amazing - a bit of a walk so not for people with mobility issues. We were disappointed that the bar was downstairs as there is a lovely seating area in the reception area but if you wanted a drink you were up and down stairs! We have been to many 4 star hotels and have always had service at our table for drinks during meal times (breakfast and dinner) but here you do have to help yourself which for me does not make this a 4 star hotel. The food was very limited for vegetarians (which both my husband and I are). Overall we did have a pleasant stay but personally I would rate this a 3 star hotel mostly based on other 4 star hotels that we have stayed at.

First time trying all inclusive, a beautiful part of the country and a spacious clean hotel. Food- plenty of fresh ingredients and a good selection of salads, breads etc. A good way to get the best out of the food is to walk around and plan a meal otherwise you might end up with a mishmash on a plate. Take a good luck at the many condiments which can really enhance your meal. We had 3 or 4 small courses for our evening meal, nothing ran out so you can take your time . Note cups in rooms are small so consider taking a mug and you’ll have to buy milk in the on site shop 3.20 euro. The A.I. drinks- beer is 3% which is refreshing but not the best, we found the rose to be the best of the wines, the spirits aren’t recognised brands but are plentiful at the pool and main bars. Cocktails a bit syrupy. Not grown up! The only pool is unheated, the beach is easily accessible and beautiful with crystal clear, warm water. It’s well worth taking a mask and snorkel. Sadly there were a few cigarette butts around in places but overall it felt clean. Keep the scrap of paper if you hire the beach towels as you need to get it signed to redeem your deposit. The rooms are fine, take insect repellent as mosquitoes enter the room when the cleaners have the door open for some time while cleaning, especially if the room is near the stairs. The beds are comfortable and the shower is good. There are 2 boat hire facilities, we used the right hand one looking out to sea, they aren’t affiliated to the hotel and seem to charge 30euro for fuel no matter how far you go! The staff are very friendly and most speak 3 languages fluently.
