Aquagrand Artistic Luxury Beach Resort

"Another lovely holiday at the Aquagrand. This hotel is a firm favourite of ours - we have stayed many times. We book a Princess Seafront room which have large balconies and great sea views, open the balcony doors and you can hear the waves breaking in the beach! Even when this hotel is busy, it retains its lovely, peaceful and relaxed atmosphere. The buffet breakfast was excellent, with a great choice of good-quality food. Special thanks to Anwar for his excellent, attentive service on the beach and around the pool. Our only disappointment was that, unlike in previous years, complimentary use of the beach cabana is no longer included with the Princess Seafront room. This was a lovely added benefit that we had particularly appreciated on previous stays. Overall, another lovely stay at Aquagrand, and we look forward to returning"

"The hotel is perfectly located on the beach in the Bay of Navarone. The sunrise over the Mediterranean is stunning. The hotel is large enough to never seem crowded. Our room was well designed with a decent pool (pretty cool at this time of year) and a really nice shaded area between the pool decking and the room itself, perfect for reading. It was quiet, mostly private and very calming. We went half board and were not disappointed with the food on offer for breakfast and dinner; it was freshly prepared, very tasty and with an eclectic choice which varied every night. Housekeeping was good and the hotel was kept spotless. Staff were efficient but a little distant at times, though the porters were excellent. We tried the lobster gourmet night at the Blue Fin restaurant (additional charge). The quality was excellent until it came to the main course - the lobster was virtually inedible; we strongly suspect they were clearing out the bottom of the freezers as the season closed. It also took far too long for the service and as the evening temperatures had dropped we were all getting cold beside the pool. The room also had maintenance issues; the aircon started to drip water which was not fixed properly after reporting and the bathroom extract fan didn’t work. One hopes in the closed season the rooms are throughly checked over; the hotel is 16 years old and maintenance needs will increase. WiFi was excellent, this isn’t an option any more. Car parking is pretty tight, more space needed, a lot of people have rentals. Shop really good with all the essentials. Overall a great hotel, more a top end four star than five but that’s not important, it offers a wonderful place for total relaxation."

"Perfect hotel for maximum relaxation. Fin location right on the beach. We had a room in the front row facing the sea with a beautiful view, but it seemed like most rooms had a nice view anyway. The hotel was almost fully booked, but there was plenty of space by all the pools and always empty sunbeds on the beach. Good selection for both breakfast and dinner, and simple good lunch dishes at the beach bar. Tips: The lunch dishes are so big that they can easily be split in two so that you'll be hungry for dinner. Pleasant staff who provided good service and made us feel welcome without being intrusive. Arranged everything we asked for."
