Pros:

I was expecting more from this hotel. The check-in process and staff was superb. Friendly and helpful. Same during the all-inclusive meals at the restaurant. Bed is comfortable. Now the not so good part, room was not clean enough. Lots of killed mosquitos marks on the wall ( blood marks ) . Shower didnt have enough pressure. The bathroom was not well cleaned - when we first entered it , you could see the sink and mirror were dirty. One night there were couple people outside drinking and singing after midnight and hotel didnt do anything to stop the loud enviroment. With tours leaving so early, it's hard to sleep with that noise. AC was leaking water at the entry hall in our room. You have to fight for a parking spot if you have a car. Limited parking and have to park in so many different locations inside the hotel area. One day we parked at some place that was not allowed and the staff just put the chain on top of the car , blocking the road.

Beautiful hotel but could be better
Pros:

This hotel is really gorgeous and the decor is amazing, the rooms were beautiful and spotlessly clean and the beds were comfortable. The pool was one of the best pools and was deep at one side which was fantastic.
The shuttle bus stop right at the hotel door is great to take you in to town (30 minutes ) and the front desk staff were helpful!

The biggest let down for us was the food, we went all inclusive and I wouldn’t pay for this again, food choices were very limited especially to us as an Irish couple, I feel anyone from northwest Europe, America etc would struggle with the food. I think the buffet system doesn’t suit this hotel and a normal restaurant would’ve been great- even just the option . The bar staff outside by the pool were not friendly or welcoming especially to all inclusive staff it felt as though they were much more pleasant to those without the all inclusive package which was strange. There aren’t very many dining options or bars nearby also. The walk to the beach was good! Lastly, the hotel entertainment would have been great but on our nights was all in French so it was hard to join in on this.

2 Star Hotel - AT BEST!
Pros:

Left a day early, it was that BAD. This is a 2 star hotel quality at best.

Firstly we were charged by the hotel after having paid in full on Hotels.com. We went back two days in a row to try get it sorted - and a few days later they have not refunded - still trying to secure a refund for the incorrect payment.

The photos are very deceiving .
There is a very very strong sewer / chemical smell in the room that lead to all of us feeling sick with a sore throat.

Room is very run down and dirty. Found a teaspoon in the shower when we checked in, marks on walls, marks on floor - coffee cups were dirty. The garden view unit is a patio looking out on to a back alley with rat traps.

Would not recommend for the price.

Pros:

Wir waren als Paar Mitte Juni für eine Woche dort. Untergebracht waren wir in einem neu renovierten Zimmer in einem Nebengebäude. Es war sehr modern und sauber. Allerdings fehlte es an Staumöglichkeiten.
Das Essen ist abwechslungsreich und von guter Qualität. Die Getränke sind viel zu süß. Jeder Cocktail schmeckt gleich.
Das Publikum besteht zu 90% aus Franzosen. Das spiegelt sich auch in der Animation und im Abendprogramm wieder.
Was wirklich enttäuschend ist, ist die Poollandschaft. Der Pool ist sehr lieblos und auch schmutzig. Wenn man an die Poolwand kommt, hat man blaue Farbe am Körper. Außerdem stinkt das Wasser.
Wir würden das Hotel nicht nochmal buchen und auch nicht weiterempfehlen. Das hat aber auch damit zu tun, dass Dassia weder ein schöner Ort ist, noch einen schönen Strand hat.

Pros:

My recent stay. While my experience wasn't entirely negative, there were a few aspects that I believe could be improved. I would prefer not to leave a negative public review, but I wanted to share my thoughts directly.
I was particularly disappointed with the situation regarding the room safe and air conditioning. Upon arrival, I was initially informed that the air conditioning could not be turned on for the first two days of my stay. It wasn't until late on the third day that I was told the system could be rebooted and activated, which was eventually done. I also encountered an issue with the room safe, which seemed poorly maintained. I requested assistance at reception and was given a key, but it was the wrong one. It took two days to resolve this issue and get access to the safe.
On a positive note, the food was really good. However, the drinks machines were quite poor; for example, the Pepsi tasted very watered down. I would also like to commend the staff, who were always polite and very helpful, especially regarding our additional needs. As my mum has disabilities, they assisted us in arranging wheelchair hire from a local company and purchasing a walking stick, which was greatly appreciated.
My biggest disappointment was the swimming pool. I never went for a swim during my entire stay because the pool did not appear very clean. I understand that they may have been trying to clean

Pros:

Ensemble du séjour très bien, sauf pour les paniers repas toujours les mêmes, médiocres, et interdit de les préparer soi-même. Dommage pour un all inclusive.

Pros:

The only complaint, and it was NOT the fault of the hotel - our view was spectacular, but due to it's direction never got the sun. So, felt a little cold and dark. But this is only a minor quibble. The hotel is awesome and the food selection was incredible! One other thing. I did not like that there was only one beer option - and it was not really very good beer.

Séjour très agréable au IOLIDA Resort.
Accueil à 3h00 du matin par HELENA qui nous a reçu d'une manière très sympathique et très arrangeante.
La suite du séjour a été sur la même tendance, personnel efficace, aux petits soins.
Chambre parfaite, ménage fait quotidiennement avec changement de serviettes ...
Restaurant de bonne qualité.
Hotel Club O-Voyages avec des animateurs forts agréables et compétents.

Pros:

I have booked this hotel mainly due to the fact that has been recently renovated. I have to say that overall the hotel looks nice but not enough to justify the price paid.
We had a garden view room and the level of cleanliness was not the best. Upon entering, we found the toilet seat with a darker stain that wouldn’t come off even after cleaning, and some hair on the wall near the sink. On the last day, there was a worm crawling in the room, probably coming in from the garden even though we never left the window open. But the worst thing was when we hung our beach towels to dry on the terrace rack. In the morning, we found them on the ground, soaked with cat urine. There are many stray cats on the island, and many of them stay near the hotel. We informed the hotel, but they don’t have a laundry service. They gave us used beach towels that they use for the pool instead. The room door does not block the noise from the corridor. Early in the morning, you can be woken up by the sounds of other guests talking. Breakfast has a good variety of sweet/salty food but not high quality. I'd prefer a smaller variety of food but higher quality.

Pros:

Schönes renoviertes und sauberes Hotel. Essen allerdings eintönig und hat mir persönlich nicht besonders geschmeckt. Leider auch wenig griechisches Essen.
Mitarbeiter haben teilweise einen gestressten/genervten Eindruck gemacht.
Leider hat es in unserem Zimmer auch aus dem Abfluss im Bad unangenehm gerochen.

Mietwagen ist für Strandbesuche etc. zu empfehlen.
