Ampelia Seaside Resort by Estia

This is one of the worst hotels I have ever been to. About half of the furniture in the room was missing (bedside tables, wardrobe, chairs). The food was very average, mostly cold, little choice and no labels. The only thing that was fine was the cleaning of the room and the drinks from the hotel bar. I do not comment on the mess around the hotel and on the beach, that is common in Greece.

Glad I only had to suffer this place for 1 night. Room was flooded, in total disrepair and full of bugs. Hotel grounds were filthy. Pool was very dirty. I didn't dare to eat the food, but selection looked very poor. Hotel room doors were all frosted glass, with no curtains to block the light.

Bad experience from the start. Taken to a room where the electricity blew out and then to another room with a double bed when we asked for a twin room. Hairdryer socket hanging off the wall, ants everywhere. No information on meal times or explanation that the door locked upon being shut.

You can tell it’s very poorly managed.

Other issues:

No bin in room, only one cup and no tea/coffee
Two bottles of water in a fridge that did not refrigerate
Shower curtain rail hung up by a piece of string
Glass door to the bedroom with no curtain so unable to sleep when it started to get light
Reception staff not particularly helpful when it came to discussing late checkout options - just a flat “no”
Slow service at the bar, one bartender looked out of his depth as the beer kept running out amongst other things

Luckily we only had to spend three nights here as our good friend was getting married at a vastly superior true 5 Star hotel, if this place is a 4 Star then that hotel is a 500 Star; truly the worst hotel either of us have ever stayed at.

This is not a resort hotel so don’t be fooled - it’s a 2 Star Hotel in reality.

A couple of the younger staff members were very pleasant, however, for some others there it seemed like guests were a nuisance or they just really hated working there.

Unser Zimmer begrüßte uns mit toten kleinen Fliegen auf dem Bett, Haaren am Waschbecken, dreckigen Spiegeln und war von der Substanz her eine reinste Katastrophe. Dieses Hotel ist nicht empfehlenswert, ebenso wie die Umgebung - weit und breit ist nichts, nicht mal eine Minimarkt. Schrecklichstes Hotel, was wir bisher besucht haben!

The check in was quite easy, but the receptionist barely knew English which was abit of a langauge barrier. Which meant we didn't know where the meals were serviced or we had to get towels from them for the pool or beach etc.
The room was decent, a bit of the shower was broken but apart from that was alright, the door only had a door lock so we had the cleaning crew walk into the room in the morning when we were sleeping twice. They need to invest in additional locks.
Food was abit repetitive sometimes there was a change up which was not major but was like average for an all inclusive.
Has about 2 big pools and 1 kids pool that needs a refurb as it looks very dirty when it's the paint on the inside making it look worse than it is. Pool times could be extended further as it is only for an 8 hour range.
The Beach was nice, one of the main attractions but could use more beach chairs as there was less than 25 probably.
The bar was decent, the male bartender was great and efficient with his service and was always welcoming. Cannot say the same for the female bartender who was quite rude and stuck up. They had some odd combinations for drinks like pineapple juice in the sex and the beach drink which is not normal. Not much of a snack bar, food was hard and not much of a choice.
The receptionist during the morning was very helpful and we got our late checkout sorted as we had a late flight back.
If they did a refurb we would consider coming back. But may explore other options.

I would’nt recommend this hotel to anyone, especially young people.
The room and bathroom we’ve got was dirty.
Drinks were availible only after 6 pm and they mixed it badly (they’ve put soda into the blue lagoon instead of sprite)
The hotel is located in a small village Gennadi, so there is nothing to do.
No animation programme or any kind of night events.
Food was good and the beach is right next to the hotel. + great mini market right in the hotel

awful experience!! food is awful, not all inclusive at all. the bartender cant do anything else than sex on the beach. its dirty everywhere!! we changed our room 3 times and it was still dirty and awful. the menager doesnt know what’s going on! safety box in our room wasnt working. it was always smelly in our room. in our friends room there were ants everywhere. dont go there!!!!
