We stayed at the Elivi for a week and we stayed in the main hotel part in a standard room (I.e. no swim up). The resort is beautiful and we had an amazing week and I cannot fault anything. Everyone was attentive and friendly, always asking us how we were and always smiling. The view on the terrace at breakfast is spectacular. Breakfast was plentiful and we had dinner at the Japanese restaurant one night which I highly recommend. We took a golf buggy to the Small Banana beach every day but there are other beaches nearby. Small Banana beach is next to the nudist area but we weren't bothered by it, but maybe the other beaches are more family friendly. The beach is gorgeous and pretty amazing if you stay for sunset with comfy sunbeds for hotel guests. We were greeted warmly every day mainly by Joanna/Ionna (apologies if I have her name wrong). She really looked after us and I wanted to give her a special mention . I dont usually return to hotels but this is one i would love to come back to.

“Lovely hotel”

We had two lovely we at the hotel,our room was fairly basic but keep clean, the view from the balcony good. Liked the fact that we had a bottle of water left every day ,which is a nice touch.

We had two lovely we at the hotel,our room was fairly basic but keep clean, the view from the balcony good. Liked the fact that we had a bottle of water left every day ,which is a nice touch. Staff helpful and the buggy driver were great. The only reasons I didn’t leave five star review is the steps down to the three beaches we visited were uneven and could become slippery. Also I found KK and big banana beach bar a let down food and cocktails an expensive let down. But would I recommend the hotel, definitely.

⭐⭐☆☆☆ (2/5 Stars) Unfortunately, we could not relate to the many positive reviews. In our opinion, this five-star hotel feels more like a good four-star property. Upon arrival, we noticed that the welcome was not particularly warm or welcoming. The lobby and common areas also felt rather outdated than modern, which was not what we expected from a resort in this category. The gym was especially disappointing. A small, dark room with only a handful of machines does not meet the standards we would expect from a five-star resort. We were also surprised that an additional charge was required for espresso-based coffee at breakfast. The coffee included in the breakfast buffet, served from a machine, was barely drinkable in our opinion. Furthermore, there were noticeable differences in both quality and selection between the two breakfast restaurants, which we found difficult to understand. Our room also did not meet expectations upon arrival. The safe was not working, the air conditioning was malfunctioning, and the refrigerator was out of service. Although these issues were eventually fixed during the day and into the evening, this is not the kind of start one expects when staying at a five-star resort and certainly did not leave a positive first impression. Overall, we were disappointed with the value for money. We have stayed in several other five-star hotels in Greece that were significantly more affordable while offering a noticeably higher standard of service, facilities, and overall guest experience. We believe there is considerable room for improvement if the hotel wants to retain guests and encourage them to return. Unfortunately, we will not be staying at Elivi again.
