Aphrodite Hotel

Arrived at our all inclusive hotel late in the evening. Reception beckoned us whereupon we were warmly greeted with a lovely smile. I loved how the receptionist seemed to acknowledge without enticement our desire to get to our room and retire to the bar for a well deserved refreshment. Subsequently, a swift intro, keys and a lovely welcome touch of a snack pack, (we'd missed the meals), ensued. Minutes later, bags, receipts for overpriced airline refreshments were deposited in our home for the next week and our tushies firmly planted in the lobby bar! Satisfactorily refreshed we headed out to scout our surroundings and to our delight not only do we discover the beach is indeed a short walk from the hotel! but the streets are abound with 24/7 supermarkets and food so fast you hardly remember swallowing!! All the local attractions, both day and night are within stumbling distance, so I can genuinely say the hotel is in a perfect location! The local stores and fast food joints are all sensibly priced, (Not McDonald's, who charge as if the resort is in an airport), but a word to the wise when it comes to the themed restaurants and bars! Food and drinks, as one would expect for a resort catering to the foreign clientele, are overpriced and many of the cocktails/shots are so watered down it's like drinking Del Boy's Peckham Spring! Back at the hotel it was time to investigate the room! Clean and well maintained with complimentary toiletries, a small fridge, (Empty but then better than a €100.00 bag of sugar nuts!) and the TV. Overall impressed, based on what we paid! Only two negatives for the room! Firstly, only 13 Channels and all foreign and second, once again, no coffee /tea facilities! I hate having to stroll randomly round a hotel trying to find coffee before I'm alive and can even manage an legible word!

Good facilities, comfortable beds, decent size swimming pool, but most importantly, young, friendly and charming staff that display outstanding professionalism and helpfulness. Good restaurants and bars in close proximity.

The large groups of neighbours you might encounter in high season. They know from which country they come from.
