Pasiphae Hotel

This was our second visit to the Pasiphae, the first being in 2023. This time, we brought our son, daughter and their partners for their first visit. Like the reviewer below, I had emailed the hotel to say that we were returning to celebrate my 60th birthday but received no reply. I did not intend to have special treatment or a party organised but it would have been good to receive an acknowledgment with the option to organise a few extras that I would be happy to pay for. Sadly, Vasilis, did not engage with us at all during our visit other than one greeting to my husband but all the other staff were lovely and interactive and a credit to the hotel. The rooms were clean but a bit tired and dated. The air conditioning was free and the beds and pillows were comfortable. Our room was clean, spacious and had a good shower. The fridge was also useful and appreciated. There was no kettle to make drinks but other people have taken travel kettles so would recommend this if you like to take tea or coffee in your room. We had to pay cash at the bar or put drinks on our rooms. Another hotel we stayed at earlier this year took card payments which was better for us although I appreciate there may be a cost in doing this. The drinks choice was quite limited so we tended not to drink much at the hotel but to go out instead. Buffet breakfast was included with our room and was a good choice of items. The lunch menu was very good and great quality and value. The pool is good although there are some rough edges on the pool and it looks as though some of the paint is peeling away. No doubt this will be addressed over winter. The sunbeds were comfortable but looked a bit stained from the sun cream. This can’t be helped but makes it look a bit grubby. I am not sure of the solution for this! The only other gripe was that the gardener decided to mow the grass and strim the edges which caused a lot of debris to fly off onto sunbathing guests. It would be better to do this in the evening when everyone has gone to get ready to go out. The gardens and plants were lovely though. Overall, we had a lovely holiday together but I was disappointed at the lack of interaction from the owner as he was there every day, mostly talking loudly on his phone. I appreciate that he may be fatigued after a busy summer but we felt disappointed that he chose not to interact with us or to even say goodbye when we left, or to thank us for returning. Perhaps, there was something else ongoing. We are unlikely to stay here again and will try one of the other hotels next time if we can. Other guests have had different experiences so perhaps it was just us! He seemed to interact with a select few but his staff were all lovely and his wife was also friendly. Skala Kallonis is a lovely, relaxing, friendly village which I would definitely recommend to visit. There is a good selection of tavernas and bars which are great value. Many close for the winter at the end of September and some had already

Expecting to book an apartment with our budget, we found hotels on Lesvos. We went with Pasiphae because of the pool, bars and restaurants. We landed late and were invited by the reps to order pizza on arrival which was very welcome. Comfortable transfer time. The pool is lovely and very pleasant to spend the day around, which is lucky because in July it was too hot to do anything else. The hotel is a short walk from the village which has all you need for a chilled holiday. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. If they can do a late check out for you, they will which was so appreciated by us as we had a late flight on a baking hot day. The indoor bar and restaurant were closed at that time of year, with temperatures being what they are it would have been nice to have air conditioned indoor spaces besides the hotel rooms to escape the heat. There is a lending library which I loved, and donated my beach read to on leaving. BBQ night was fantastic, and the breakfast buffet is amazing. Our room was good for the price we paid, big fridge, good air con, nice balcony, power shower. Our little one had a sleepless first night on the camp bed, the next day we mentioned this to the owner and he immediately arranged for a new mattress and after that it was fine. Would definitely stay again, but it will be Easter or autumn so we can comfortably explore more of this beautiful resort and island. Thank you Pasiphae!

In July 2024 I stayed at the Pasiphae hotel for one week as a lone traveller staying in room 209. My stay was on a bed & breakfast basis as the beach & numerous tavernas are within a 200/300 metre walk. There are no tea/coffee making facilities in the room but luckily I took my own. The hotel is clean, the staff are friendly, the breakfasts are tasty and the pool together with the pool side bar is lovely. The hotel internet is very good. Judging by the age of my fellow guests, the hotel appeals to the more mature clientele & in my opinion, wouldn't be the first choice for families with young children. I did notice that some areas of the hotel are a little dated & require some maintenance & upgrades but this is my only negative comment. I really enjoyed my stay & would certainly visit again.
