Akti Beach Club

Mixed bag really - very positive is the staff who are lovely and try to help as much as they can. We stayed in the all inclusive plus adult side. Nice restaurant and no kids. Rooms were adequate and air con works. The sun lounges need some work / they are old and also could do with a clean (brown stains on a lot of them) Pool is quite cold , but it is the start of the season. The beach - forget it , it is sand (rough) and single and you need to climb over very slippery rocks to enter the sea. My only real annoyance (and that of other guests) is the rip off 50 euro charge if you want to extend your check out. We did encounter an issue with the ‘international drinks’. We had to insist on ‘Gordon’s Gin’ as they always wanted to pour the local stuff. But we only saw Baileys and Gordon’s - everything else was local. We enjoyed our week, but for us it’s one and done.

the staff at the reception animation team and cleaners are all lovely, very good holiday destination❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

We stayed in the new Kalimera adult section and it was wonderful. So peaceful with its own pools and beach area away from the main hustle and bustle. It was the best of both worlds because we could relax in quiet during the day and then walk over to the main hotel for the evening entertainment which was always fun The room was clean and modern. My only tip is bring water shoes for the beach as its pebbles getting in but sandy once you are past them. A really great holiday

- Firstly a very special shout out and thank you to Elton and Rosita in the restaurant or always looking after us, they both work very hard and go above and beyond to make sure guests are happy and tables are kept clean and tidy, they are an absolute credit to the hotel. - Location - Akti Beach Club was only about 20 minutes away from the airport via coach transfer. - Grounds - beautifully maintained gardens. Hotel reception and staff - plenty of space in here tho not very well air conditioned and we occasionally noticed a strange fishy smell. We found the reception staff helpful but not particularly friendly. - Our room - we stayed in a suite with direct access to a shared pool which was absolutely lovely and we also had our own sunloungers and parasols which were definitely a bonus. The ladders into the pool were in a poor state of repair for a few days tho these did get fixed. The furnishings were modern with plenty of storage space for clothes etc. The room was cleaned and sheets changed daily. The bathroom was adequate but could do with being updated as we noticed some stains and signs of wear around the sink area and the shower head didn't fit in the bracket above so we had to use the shower head manually which wasn't a major issue but would be better of the fitting worked properly. - Food and drink - all meals were buffet style, always plenty of choice tho some food was often not very warm. We loved the Chinese section each night and the freshly made pizzas were amazing. Cocktails at the bar were disappointing, we tried them twice but as they are ready made we didnt think they were nice at all so we stuck with the branded stuff. Plenty of choice of soft drinks and juices and also beer and wine. - Beach - lovely tho there are a few pebbles in the entrance to the sea so recommend suitable beach footwear. - entertainment - we didn't bother with this but there is an entertainments program both day and night. There is a dedicated animation pool where they have music playing and games. - free shuttle bus into Kardamena was good, worth a trip, only takes 10 minutes each way. Overall we really enjoyed our stay at Akti Beach and will be back sometime in the future.

I could enjoy a wonderfully relaxing Cretan massage in the spa pavilion of the Akti Beach Club, accompanied by pleasant music. Many thanks to the therapist Nefeli!

We are just back from an 11 night stay at this fab hotel. From the minute we arrived at midnight we were made to feel welcome by Marios at reception and George in the restaurant. Our room was lovely, big & clean. Only one negative - not enough drawers for all the clothes we brought!! Room was cleaned daily with fresh towels. Sheets were changed couple of times during our stay. The buffet restaurant had plenty of choice and was always delicious. There are 3 speciality restaurants available, but can't comment as we didnt bother booking. The pool was lovely and big. We didn't have a problem getting sunbeds, but we are early birds so down there from 8am. However, didn't see anyone struggling to get a sunbed throughout the day. We didn't go to the beach, but it looked very nice with lots of sunbeds. The pool bar was great and you could get snacks there all day. That's also were the entertainment was at night. A great selection of singers and a music quiz one night. The lagouna bar, just beside the buffet restaurant, was lovely to sit after dinner to chill. The staff, without exception, were all fabulous. They were so friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The receptionists, all the Georges, Stefanos aka Big Narcos, Big Chris, Natella, Mzai, Natalia. Stella & Omar to name but a few. It was also really lovely to see senior managers visible and helping out and talking to their teams. We also used the spa, having massages, pure bliss. We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday here. Would we go back? Yes, we're already looking! Is it 5 star probably not quite, but would we have had a better holiday if it was, I don't think so
