Atlantica Eleon Grand Resort

"Honest review. Recently stayed here for 10 nights. I was a little worried due to reading some bad reviews but the holiday was good, not the best but good. And we had a lovely time. Nothing to complain about about. The staff was lovely, especially don and Leah and kleidi at the bar. We loved the water volley and polo and darts activities and I liked the water aqua Room was average. Hotel has beautiful view. Food was average, got bit boring and we did eat out a few times, also tried both Greek and Italian restaurants in hotel these were ok. We’ve stayed in a lot of 5 star hotels and this one had Couple of negatives for us were , the mini bar was empty the whole holiday. Any 5 star we’ve been to before, these have always been stocked. Otherwise what’s the point of having it? The reception lobby - bit run down and tatty All the chairs in restaurants have horrible chair covers - just not 5 star vibes The grass through out hotel was very long and weedy , needs tidying, no kids are allowed to jump in the pool- very strict on this and they blow whistles all day long, (never been to hotel where kids can’t jump in) Over all I’d give this place a 7/10 Had great time, but wouldn’t return The Logan’s"

"We chose this hotel for a family holiday so that everyone could stay together during our wedding at a nearby villa, and it was the perfect choice. One of the things we loved most about the hotel was the variety of spaces available. Whether you wanted to relax by the lively main pool or enjoy a quieter spot near the sea and olive trees, there was something for everyone. We were also impressed that there were always sunbeds available, even when we went down after lunch during the busy May half-term period. While some guests did reserve sunbeds around the pool, availability was never an issue for us. The entertainment on the main stage wasn’t particularly memorable, but the atmosphere in the main bar more than made up for it. There was evening entertainment there most nights, creating a lovely, relaxed vibe, and the all-inclusive service runs until midnight. A special mention goes to Arianna, one of the bar servers, who was absolutely fantastic. She was incredibly friendly, and we built a lovely connection with her during our stay. The food was better than at most all-inclusive hotels we’ve visited. As vegetarians, we occasionally found the selection a little limited, but this was expected and we always found plenty to enjoy. If we were being really picky, the only downside would be the rooms. We experienced a few minor issues during our stay, and among the 20 other family members staying in different rooms, there were also some problems. However, to the hotel’s credit, most issues were resolved quickly. The lifeguards are also very strict around the pools, which didn’t bother us personally, but it may be something to keep in mind for those who enjoy a more relaxed approach to pool rules. We thoroughly enjoyed the cats roaming and there was even three tiny kittens which we looked forwarded to watching them grow within the two weeks we were there! Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would happily recommend this hotel, especially for families and groups looking for a relaxing and enjoyable holiday together."

"We were a couple and think it is more of a family hotel, so my review is coming from that perspective. For a family is has everything you would want from a holiday. The hotel has the most friendly staff without exception. Our room was lovely with a great sea view (242). Plenty of room for clothes etc... Only downside was there was no sun on the balcony until late afternoon - but that could be an advantage in the hot summer. The food was good, but we found the restaurant more like a canteen - it was very loud and busy, it wasn't a relaxed experience. There was a mix of entertainment, the main one at the outside stage. When we went it was very cold outside and so didn't stay long - probably no problem later on as I think we had a particularly unusual cold spell. There were acoustic sets outside the bar and sometimes a saxophone player and a singer, so they did put on a lot of entertainment. It was good to find the Olive Grove by the water slides and to be able to be under dappled shade, something that many hotels miss. We tried both the Greek and Italian 'a la carte'. The greek one was amazing. The Italian both of us didn't enjoy - I think we were unlucky. The TUI write up said it was a walk from a village - it was a long walk. Nearest town was Tsvilli which cost €10 each way. We did hire a car from Zante car hire in Tsvilli and they were great. The gym was very poor, broken equipment and no air conditioning. No real beach, it was tiny. What makes this hotel is the staff, they were so friendly, helpful and couldn't do enough for you. I won't name names as I don't want to miss anyone out, they were all exceptional. We come from the UK and most holidaymakers were from Scandinavian countries or Poland, very few from the UK. It really is more of a family hotel and if the beach had been bigger we would come back with family, but the busy restaurant, and being isolated doesn't fit in with what we are looking for in a holiday as a couple. Saying all that I still will give it the best rating as it really is a very good hotel with amazing staff."
