White Olive Elite Laganas

Visited this hotel as a group of 14 women and it was absolutely faultless. I was a little wary about having a triple room but there was plenty of space with a proper third bed not a camp style bed. Room was immaculate and cleaned daily. Pool area was also clean with an abundance of sunbeds. Food was fantastic with a varied choice of food and good vegetarian choices for those that required it. The cocktails were also very good and bar service was quick. The staff could not do enough for you. Always smiling and having a laugh. Location is also good. Would 100% recommend this hotel.

Absolutely amazing hotel and the staff are awesome and will do anything for you. Very clean and food/drink is great. We will 100% be staying here again and it’s our first time at a White Olive resort so will look for others around the Greek Islands! Prime location for bars in both Laganas and a short walk to Kalamaki! Yamas!

I really struggle with reviews to find all the info I need so hopefully this will help someone. Overall - not a 5 star, not great for families but great for couples. Food abysmal. The hotel appears nice but technology has taken over a little too much for them to handle. Checkin was simple although we went with jet 2 and they rate it a 4 star so was expecting to pay €10 per night however the hotels official rating it 5 star so was €15 per night for the greek tax. Room - the room was very clean and had a nice selection of toiletries. We had a family room which had 2 singles and a huge king size with the comfiest pillows ever. The only divide between us and the kids was a sliding door with glass panels so absolutely no privacy. We had a land view on the bottom floor. Unfortunately this meant trees literally infront of the balcony so couldn't see anything. Before unpacking we noticed the air-conditioning in the kids part of the room wasn't working so I went to the reception. They tried to restart and was told if it didn't work there was nothing they could do. It didn't work so I asked them to move us which they did, I was shown to a room with another land view on the 2nd floor, this view was a huge puddle with commercial bins sat in it, so asked for another or a pool view. Was shown to another room with the sliding door missing so off to another room we went. This was fine but if you go for a view I really wouldn't as we got what the hotel described as a river (more swamp) but we survived. The only other issue with the room was the noise from outside. The doors didn't keep any noise out. The hotel isn't situated in the best lace and was very noisy from traffic, wildlife, people and bin men from 5.30am onwards. The only app on our tv that worked was YouTube which after a power cut on the third day stopped working so all we had was the news. I did notice that all of the tvs around the hotel weren't working after the power cut either. Pool - pool is on the smaller side. The kids pool is more of a baby pool as it's smaller than an average paddling pool. The medium pool doesn't seem child friendly. The biggest pool was more for families (the few that was there) but prepare for grumpy elderly people who sit around the edge of the pool but don't want to be splashed. Food - a lot of reviews complain about the food and God I wish I had listened. I know all inclusive isnt the best but this was the worst we have ever been to. The food is cold and other than 2 of the nights all the meats were in sauces that were horrible and again cold. They did not cater for kids in the slightest other than 1 night when they had nuggets and fish fingers and they were absolutely disgusting the meat in the nuggets was dark brown. Location - nice little walk to the beach and restaurants thank God as we ate out a few days. I wouldn't return to this hotel mostly down to the food. It was a big let down for 5 star.
