Pros:

Das nicht übergrosse Hotel abseits vom Trubel ist nur durch eine wenig befahrene kleine Strasse vom kleinen, flach abfallenden Sandstrand getrennt. Zudem hat es diverse Pools, Bars und Restaurants. Unser Zimmer hatte freie Meersicht und bequeme Betten, das Bad war aber etwas eng. Beim Buffetmenü waren die kalten Vorspeisen und die Desserts sehr gut, die warmen Speisen hingegen nur durchschnittlich. Teller werden selten abgeräumt.

Pros:

An sich eine sehr schöne Anlage, tolle Pools,
Der Strand war auch sehr schön, das Wasser sehr sauber
Leider stimmt das Preis Leistungsverhältnis nicht wirklich, man hat den Eindruck das es nicht einem 5 Sterne Haus entspricht
Gerade was die Sauberkeit vom Zimmer bis zur Anlage angeht
Das Personal war sehr freundlich, jedoch nicht entsprechend einem 5 Sterne Haus

Not a 5 star hotel and poor services
Pros:

Hotel rates itself as 5 star and it is not a superior or luxurious standard at all. We’ve booked a room with private pool for superior experience and the toilet was dirty, curtains falling off. In the gym, all threadmills and gym machines were not functional with no towel offered and we were astonished with the poor quality of the hotel for a 5 star. This should be rated a 3 star hotel at most. We’ve asked for refund of the payment and left early morning of the following day. I would suggest travellers to not take their pictures for real and level set that it is not a 5 star service nor structure. We have advised Hotels.com of the lack of alignment between the pictures in the website and in real conditions and encourage travellers seeking superior experience not to book it.

Truly a 5 star hotel
Pros:

What an amazing hotel this was, booked two rooms with a sharing pool and they were amazing, I called the hotel to see if they could make sure we got rooms next to each other, they sorted that for us, what a treat to have our own pool. The breakfast was great, loads of choice. The spa was wonderful, had a salt scrub and olive oil massage, very relaxing indeed! All in all we had an amazing stay! Thank you The Island Hotel you were great!

Pros:

Die Unterkunft ist sehr schön und das Essen war gut. Das Personal war sehr freuntlich .
Einzig die laute Musik an der Bar bis am 23 Uhr hat uns gestört wenn man dort das Zimmer hatte war es sehr laut.

Pros:

I absolutely loved my stay at The Island hotel and would recommend anyone to book! The hotel was large but extremely well maintained, the staff were lovely and breakfast included such an array of tasty food. Incredibly clean and I felt very safe as a solo female traveller. The pools were fantastic and I easily spent hours there!
Such a treat and I would love to return some day. Thank you to all the staff!

Pros:

Our first trip to Greece and wanted an adults only hotel. The hotel staff were friendly and accommodating and the baggage staff member was very friendly and gave us all information we needed to know about the property. Our room was a king and very roomy. The room was clean but a little dated and could use some updates, but overall we were happy and it was a relatively quiet room with good AC. We noticed they do not supply wash cloths, so bring your own or buy one at a local market. Our booking included breakfast and we were very pleased with the wide assortment of food and beverage choices. There are several pool areas but you need to get your towel on your chair early if you want a spot, especially the pools near the ocean. There is easy access to the ocean area and a beach across the street if you wish to get beach and ocean time. The walk along the road is very safe and picturesque. There are plenty of restaurants within a short walk if you don’t want to eat in the hotel. The hotel has lunch and dinner if you choose to dine there. For dinner, they have themed buffet in the main restaurant which is good value for the price. Overall, it was a relaxing vacation for my family and the hotel took good care of us.

Pros:

We have just returned from our fabulous holiday! Really enjoyed it - hotel was brilliant and we can’t wait to go again next year! Food was good, facial at the spa was great and no problem getting a sun bed by the pool. In our opinion there was not enough bar staff as sometimes slow to get a drink but everything else was superb!

Amazing hotel
Pros:

Amazing hotel, cannot emphasize this enough. Amazing pools, amazing breakfast, and the beach is literally right by the hotel, just cross the road and you’re there. There are restaurants by the hotel as well. Would recommend renting a car, a couple cities nearby, 15-60 minutes away by car. Didn’t understand if there was parking by the hotel at first, but you have to park in the street by the beach, plenty wide road for that, or in a gravel parking lot nearby.

Pros:

Heel mooi hotel qua lay-out, verschillende stijlen die naadloos in elkaar overlopen. Uiterst vriendelijk personeel, doen nergens moeilijk over. Makkelijk parkeren rond het hotel, supermarktje op 100m, fine dining restaurant op dezelfde afstand. Goede zwembaden, eenvoudig maar ruim zandstrand met mooie golven en heerlijk uitzicht op Dia island. Het ontbijt is uiterst efficiënt georganiseerd, je hebt behoorlijk wat keuze maar het blijft natuurlijk wel grootkeukenbuffet. Zeer goede waarde voor het geld gekregen!
