Akti Beach Club

I wouldn’t say this is a 5star hotel , arrived late evening so it was very dark , went to reception to book in , I felt like we was an inconvenience and not a very warm welcome . Didn’t have a clue where our rooms was , No map . Was just told a number , was given wrong wrist bands . The hotel looks lovely as you go in . The smell of dirty drains hits you as you walk up the stairs in the main hotel . No signs to say what’s where it’s like a maze and guess your way around . Arrived to the room - not brilliant but was clean . Bathroom light flickered constant , the mould around the bath and the floor a drain in the middle of bathroom stinks . Cracks and marks over the walls , fridge smelt awful and didn’t work . All Pools were freezing ! Around the hotel is clean . Pools swept and cleaned every morning . Pool bars - flys everywhere landing on prepared food . Ice buckets . The restaurant is a free for alll . Crazy busy Good selection of food . Wouldn’t say hygiene is at the best level . The beach is very rocky and slippery , you have to walk across the road to get to it the man at the beach bar looks angry and you ask for food it’s like your asking for a lot more . There is no evening entertainment . The hotel is secluded it’s not safe to walk around as no paths . There is a free shuttle bus to Kardamena and back . I wouldn’t class this hotel as a 5star possibly 3-4 star . I won’t be coming back

Returned early this morning from Akti beach club for a 10 night stay ( first ever time in Greece ) . We thoroughly enjoyed our stay although I wouldn’t rate the hotel 5 star our room was basic but clean the food was average however there was food available literally all day either at meal times or in the snack bars . The hotel grounds are beautiful and well maintained . This review may have been less positive if it hadn’t been for the animation team they made our holiday they worked so hard and you could tell they enjoyed their jobs as this was reflected in how good they were . We didn’t have young kids with us however we could see how good the animation team were with the kids it was lovely to see . Big shout out especially to Miguel, Kevin and Jenny on the animation team they were outstanding . Also Nicholas on the main pool bar he was so lovely also . I would most definitely return again .

I had THE BEST time ever!! The hotel was lovely, plenty of choice for food, nice clean rooms. The staff were all friendly and welcoming. Natalie who works on the car rental desk was lovely and really helpful, especially when I got back late from horse riding to collect the Jeep I hired. BUT ….. my most favourite thing that made the whole holiday even better was the animation team! What amazing people they all are! My children absolutely adored them all and they had so much fun at the kids disco, fire show and DJ Disco. They also went to the kids club that is ran by the animation team, every day 3pm-6pm and they loved every minute of it and were really sad that they were going home … 3 days later and they’re still upset and asking about Kevin and Jenny. The shows were well planned and fun, great for all the family! The karaoke was BRILLIANT!!!! Kevin is the most fun person I’ve come across, not only did he make the kids holiday fun but also the adults!! Jenny is absolutely amazing and lovely, the most friendliest member of staff I’ve ever met! I was so upset leaving and still missing her!! Both Jenny and Kevin arranged to meet me and the kids in reception before we left for the airport which was so nice of them! I really hope I get to see them all next year !!!!!

Just returned from a 7 night stay with my husband and 3 year old. We've had a great stay. We booked a promotional room (double and a sofa bed) I had emailed the hotel prior to arriving asking for a room away from the main building as I'd read it was noisy and I also requested it on the ground floor. We was given a ground floor room near the animation pool, it was a lovely room and not too noisy on a night with the entertainment finishing around midnight. The food and drinks I can't complain about, always plenty of food choice and very tasty. Drinks were really nice too, branded malibu, baileys, Gordon's, martini and the lager was an easy drink too. The pools were freezing but still lovely and not too bad in the children's pools. The hotel is a bit far out, no bars in walking distance but this didn't bother us too much. We had a walk on the beachside every day and used the shuttle bus once to go into kardamena. Negatives- The shuttle bus was a bit rickety, no air con so was like a sweat box and the chairs were a bit battered. The hotel could do with upgrading this as its a bit poor for a 5* hotel. Most of the hotel staff were nice enough and making time to speak to us and especially my little boy, there was just a couple which were rude. The lady making omelettes on a morning didn't crack a smile and looked at you like something on the bottom of her shoe when you asked for an omelette. Also, caught her eating in between serving customers with her fingers in her mouth which put me off going back. The bar man one evening at the animation pool was also rude, I asked for a drink which he asked me to wait until he had finished messaging someone on his phone then once he had poured my drink slammed it down at the opposite side of the bar to where I was stood. No thanks or anything. Absolutely no need for rudeness. The other negative from me was the evening entertainment, kids disco starting at 9pm is far too late. My little boy was asleep by 9pm so never actually saw it, surely this could start earlier? We saw the fire show one night and came out half way through, anyone could have done it. It seemed quite badly organised too with a couple of them clearly not knowing what they were doing and just following the rest of the group. Although we found a few negatives this will not put us off returning. We had a lovely first family holiday, thankyou

Very beautiful hotel with very big space Amazing food and restaurant sea food in all inclusive is nice Very close to sea Animation is very professional Polish animation Karina is amazing makes your stay more enjoyable Hotel is clear and room service have every day

Lovely hotel nice and clean lovely meals plenty variety lovely people Always there to help and make your holiday enjoyable lovely views when swimming in the Pool Free shuttle to the local town nice beach near the hotel and a bus to go to Kos which also a very lovely place to visit and see the ruins etc I would recommend it to anyone to go I give it 10 stars if I could it was my first time abroad and it was a lovely experience

Where do I start! Definitely not a 5* ! Shared pool had scum line around it, and grouting was black with dirt in places. Sunbeds on beach were in poor condition, broken or ripped, one guest actually cut her leg on one! The beach itself is pebbly and very difficult to get into the sea, apart from one tiny area where the rocks have been cleared away. Food not too bad, plenty of choice but sometimes over seasoned, veg usually undercooked. Lots of flies and wasps around outside dining area, it was not a nice experience. Soft drinks advertised as Pepsi taste nothing like it! Cocktails from pre-made bottles, wine disgusting. Rooms were spacious but dated, with cracked and broken tiles in bathroom, shower broken so we taped it up ourselves! Housekeeper came in every day, fridge also replenished daily. Even though we had no children with us I couldn't help but notice the unsafe condition of the children's play area, the flooring was cracked and broken and covered in grit and stones. Most of the staff were friendly but some were just ignorant and rude. The list just does go on and on sadly. Would I return, definitely not!

Exceptional animation team Absolutely genuine kind hearted people which i would love to be around all year round if i had the choice . These people are hard to come by and interact perfectly with toddlers to adults .i hope to see these people in the future. Hotel has everything you need, stunning beach all types of pools even a deep one if you like that , and air conditioning is modern and works perfectly. They fill your fridge with alcohol and water/soft drinks every day as part of your all inclusive package . Definitely would come back Hotel manger is friendly and approachable ❤️

Clean , comfortable, hot stay Review of Akti Beach Club Reviewed today I will write a honest review of what we as a family of 3 experienced, as with everything we have own opinions and what suits us might not suit you…. We stayed for 9 nights mid June and it was scorching weather, the check in was easy and were surprised by a free upgrade to what we’d booked and we were put in the maisonette rooms really big and modern with two bedrooms , two bathrooms and two balconies. We arrived around 1am food and drinks were available which was lovely after a long day and evening travelling the air con was much appreciated as it was red hot as was the lovely shower and comfy clean bed and pillows. The breakfast was plentiful but I did miss a cappuccino in the restaurant however I was told you can get one in the reception area, if you like a pork sausage there is non but other full English mushrooms, toast, beans, bacon, eggs poached, scrambled, fried or whatever you want in an omelette, lunch and evening meal were great and really tasty and plentiful, spoilt for choice with food and desserts , a wonderful pizza station where the gentleman works tirelessly as do other staff, pizza bloke remembers everyone and what they enjoy on their pizza, Chinese station is great too, the restaurant manager was so welcoming and friendly always greeted guests on arrival and exiting the restaurant. Some days were harder to get a table than others but we generally went to breakfast at 8.30, lunch around 2 and evening meal at 8. One night we were booked in at the mermaid restaurant and there were various fish dishes however it was a bit much for us so ended up leaving earlier than completing the course. The animation pool snack bar was great but we never sat there on the loungers as it was loud and lively better for those who like pool ball games etc, we were always at the main pool across from the restaurant where we generally got loungers and a parasol, the staff at the bar here daytime and evening are lovely, my husband is not a big drinker and unfortunately they don’t do cider which is all the alcohol he drinks he’s also diabetic so drank mostly Pepsi max , water or soda water, I love gin and tonic and I love Baileys too so definitely got my moneys worth in Baileys , we took the free coach about 4 times into Kardamena and caught taxi back to the hotel 10 euro for this , it was in the 30 plus degrees so we didn’t walk in to town but I believe it’s about a 30 min walk it’s 10 min exactly on the coach. The Stone Roses bar has such friendly staff and this is where hubby enjoyed a few local milo kleftica ciders. We have a few negatives this being the fact we like a walk to the shops but we couldn’t as the location is a little too far away from the town, it’s lovely that there is a beach across from the hotel but this is extremely pebbly you need beach shoes and unfortunately the sea has boulders and massive rocks in which is covered in slime and very slippery please take care.
