Eliros Mare Beachfront Poem Hotel

This holiday cost us £11,000.00 for 2 grandparents, 2 parents, 2 children. this was a fair price for a 5* hotel. But it wasn't it was a 3-4 at best. My parents were put in a room with my daughter, it was not even big enough for 2 people let alone 3 (room 104, I paid for superior and it was not) they had to stay in it for the 1st night as the hotel was full, the room was damp, dinghy and full of bugs, my eldelery mother was bitten all over. They were moved the next day to a slightly bigger room that was not as damp but still full of bugs and was not superior. My room was slightly bigger, but it was also full of bugs, every time we put the aircon on it smelt like the sewers. The drinks were below average, some were awful. The food was average, again it was definitely not 5* On a plus note* The staff were all very nice. The hotel was nice other than the rooms. The beach was beautiful. And we all still had a lovely 10 days despite the rooms.

The Hotel was lovely, very clean and well presented. The staff were all lovely and very welcoming/friendly, they focused on you enjoying your Holiday and relaxing which was great. we wanted a relaxing atmosphere and a not too child mad holiday with great facilities and on a good beach, we were NOT disappointed! (The kids facilities were fantastic with there own pool and entertainment) The food was amazing, I 100% recommend having dinner in the beach restaurant, we had a fantastic meal (so much food) and set in a perfect setting early evening looking out across the beach. Some advise though, when we looked at the menu initially we thought you would have to choose from the options but in fact it’s the whole menu that you have! So your options were fish or meat! So plenty of food and lots of different flavours and dishes to explore. The all inclusive package was perfect for us as a family as we only had to provide our room numbers at the bar or restaurant and the rest was taken care off (no scruffy wristbands) and the food was simply amazing, so much choice at breakfast, Lunch, Dinner etc from local dishes to a range of foods from around the globe inc salads, meats, cheeses, fruits, desserts etc. I would say there is not much in the immediate vicinity to do other than a few shops and restaurants etc, but a local town Rythmos is only a twenty minute bus ride away and that’s from outside the Hotel and very cheap (€3.20 per person) also very easy to get there and back etc, a wonderful little old town and Harbour with plenty to see inc usual shops and restaurants along with the harbour itself. This was enough for us as our Holiday purpose was complete relaxation and it didn’t disappoint. You have entertainment every evening at the beach restaurant as they have a stage area next to it with seating outside which had everything from Prize Bingo to acrobatics, singers and instrument players, this all finished at around 11:00pm so still meant you could relax knowing you was not kept up all night with loud music and disturbances etc. The weather was beautiful and Hot but there was plenty of shade on the beach and around the pool with lots of beds and umbrellas etc and with free water stations or of course the bars and restaurants you were always hydrated lol! We would 100% return to this Hotel and would definitely recommend it.
