Akrathos Beach Hotel

We spent a week Akrathos on an all-inclusive package, and it was a major disappointment. The food was the worst part – repetitive, tasteless, and served in a dining hall with a strong unpleasant smell. Every day it was the same: pork or chicken, flavorless vegetables, cheese, and fruit. Even the drinks, including coffee, were poor quality, and you had to queue just to get cold tap water. The included meal at the taverna was no better – the fish was cheap, smelly, and just as bad. There often weren’t enough plates or cutlery, and the staff would rush to reuse items without proper disinfection. The pool was also dirty and uninviting. The rooms felt cheap and lacked comfort. The only thing we truly enjoyed was the sea. Otherwise, we ended up paying extra for frappe and icecream and eating out most of the time. This hotel is nowhere near 4-star quality – we would not return and cannot recommend it.

The hotel is enormous, offering a wide range of facilities. Rooms are small with elementary furniture; they need to be renovated. There is a lot of food, but not so quality.

The hotel is situated in a lovely area, olive orchard l, overlooking a beautiful bay. Clean place and polite service. Food with all inclusive is quite good. Lots of local and international dishes. The drinks though are really poor. The local wine included in all inclusive is heavily watered down and its taste hardy resembles wine. The soft drinks and the mixers are mostly flat. During the day at the pool bar you can only choose between 2 ‘cocktails’. No liquors like vodka, gin, whisky etc are served before 6 pm, when the main bar opens. What we received was full board rather than all inclusive service, as the alcoholic drinks were really poor. We had to order and pay for decent alcohol. Otherwise a lovely holiday.

Horrendous weeks holiday, dirty hotel, filthy pool, poor food and recycled food Broken tiles around pool areas and in bar areas Concreted areas where they have tried to repair floors around pool all uneven Most definitely NOT a 4 star hotel Online images do not reflect condition of the hotel See attached photos of what it’s really like No TUI reps have seen this hotel for many years and the description of the hotel needs to be amended on their website No actual TUI information This has been reported to TUI both online and in store

The hotel is suitable for families with kids also for young people and seniors. It has been recently renovated. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

My wife and I stayed at Akrathos Beach Hotel from 1st July 2025, and while our overall experience was mostly positive, there were a few aspects that could definitely be improved. Here’s a breakdown of our stay: Positives: Cleanliness: The hotel is impeccably clean, and the staff are always on top of things, ensuring everything stays spotless. Staff: Friendly and attentive—whether it was at the restaurant or around the hotel, everyone was always there to help. Food: The food was a highlight. There was always a great variety, and everything we tried was delicious. Private Beach: Having access to a private beach was fantastic. We never had trouble finding a sunbed, which made for a relaxed beach experience. Entertainment: The two nights of entertainment we experienced were really good, offering something fun to look forward to after dinner. Views: Stunning! Whether we were at the beach or by the pool, the views were incredible. Comfortable Beds: One of the most important factors for us—the beds were incredibly comfortable, and we slept soundly every night. Negatives: Water Temperature in the Restaurant: The biggest issue for us was the water temperature. The drinking water in the restaurant was always at room temperature, so every time we wanted ice-cold water, we had to queue at the bar for ice. This felt unnecessary and slightly inconvenient. Only 2 nights entertainment: Although the 2 nights entertainment was good, there was nothing to do the other 5 evenings. Beach Access: The walk to the beach is quite steep, which could be tough for anyone with mobility issues. Although transport is available, it’s worth mentioning. Location: The hotel is a bit isolated, with nothing within walking distance. The main road is busy and lacks proper footpaths, so walking around is not very safe or pleasant. Limited Drinks: If you’re a fan of spirits, you’ll be disappointed. No spirits are available during the day at any of the bars. The main bar only opens at 6:00 PM, so if you’re someone who enjoys a drink earlier in the day, this is quite limiting. Snacks: The snack options between 4:00–5:00 PM were underwhelming. Just muffins or cookies—nothing substantial, and it’s only available for one hour. For an all-inclusive resort, the snack selection could definitely be more varied. Not Truly All-Inclusive: As many previous reviews have mentioned, this hotel is not truly all-inclusive. The lack of spirits and limited snacks make it feel like there are a few things missing that would make it a more complete experience. If the hotel focused less on cost-saving measures, they’d likely see more repeat guests, which is a shame because the hotel has so much potential. Conclusion: While we had an enjoyable stay overall, the hotel could easily be 100% by addressing a few cost-saving measures. If you don’t mind a lack of spirits during the day and are okay with limited snack options, it’s a good place to relax. However, for anyone looking for a more comprehensi
