Viva Mare Foinikounta

This is the second year we have stayed at the lovely Viva Mare, we have already booked again for next year. This little gem of a hotel is amazing and you will not be disappointed. The welcome you get from Chrissa, Maria and the team is wonderful, they are always on hand and can help you with any questions you may have, booking trips and restaurants. The hotel is very clean and all the rooms are spacious, cleaned every day and well equipped with cooking facilities (microwave, hob and fridge freezer) if you wish to eat in. Breakfast is varied and top quality. The pool is a good size with a poolside bar for drinks and snacks. There are plenty of sunbeds and seating areas around the poolside. It is child friendly with various pool toys available and a shallow area. It is a ten minute downhill walk into town (the walk back up to the hotel is quite steep and not suitable if you any mobility issues). In the town you will find plenty of restaurants, boutique style shops, beach bars and you can hire sunbeds on the beach. You could either take a boat trip around the coast or hire your own small boat. If you choose to hire a car the villages nearby also have some lovely restaurants. Highly recommend.

Excellent accommodation in a beautifully clean complex. Rooms cleaned to an immaculate standard: clean bedding and towels every day. Breakfast is simple but fresh local produce. Swimming pool is perfect. A quiet time is observed between 14.30 - 17.30 though you can still swim. We found most families headed for the beach and returned early evening for a sunset swim. Perfect. The staff are amazing- the cleaners clean everything including shutters, windows, everything! Special mention to Alex as nothing is too much trouble and also to Chrissy who is so friendly and helpful. To summarise this place is perfect.

Great property. I would recommend for families

What a beautiful little gem. This boutique hotel has beautiful rooms, great vistas, welcoming pool and wonderful staff. A short walk to the waterfront local tavernas with the freshest seafood and great prices. I could have stayed a month!

This hotel and staff were faultless. The accommodation was spotless and the staff were incredible. Loved the idea of breakfast being in a bag as we ate at our own pace in leisurely surroundings. The breakfasts were outstanding with wonderful fresh bread and anything you wanted was there. Both Alex, Chris and all the staff are a credit to this 5, yes 5 star accommodation. I am really looking forward to visiting again.
