Akti Beach Hotel & Village Resort

We visited here in the Easter half term with another family. We were pleased with our air con room; it was spacious, very clean & housekeeping visited daily. The bathroom was dated but worked perfectly well and the shower was powerful. I liked the “village” style apartments meaning our balcony wasn’t overlooked, despite being a land view. The hotel team were friendly and helpful when needed, the entertainment team work hard, as another review commented - they seem to have little resources. The evening entertainment was ok and guests seemed to enjoy it - hotel entertainment is not my thing though. The food was hot every meal time, I actually burnt my mouth - I was surprised at the temp. There is themed nights every night which was great, i think the kitchen team work hard on variety - but it is a buffet, there is only so much variety. Our daughter was poorly whilst we were there and the team supported us with this. As others have said, it’s quite isolated, we didn’t know about the shuttle until towards the end of our trip. It is on a beach front, but not a beach - I hadn’t read this properly so was disappointed, but my own doing. I don’t like cats, so guests feeding them was frustrating for me, but that’s personal preference. I would visit here again.

I went as a family holiday and had an amazing time, rooms were always kept really clean, variety of food that would suit anyone, staff always super friendly and helpful and couldn’t fault Mr Q and the animation team who were always friendly to us all and provided lots of entertainment through the day. If not taking part in entertainment there was plenty of sun loungers available near the pool and the sea cave.

A lovely hotel, really clean throughout tge whole hotel, great friendly staff, huge studio rooms. There was always plenty of sunbeds with parasols, no sunbed wars in the morning, which Is a huge plus. The food was really good, a different theme every night, lovely selection of food to choose from. An amazing holiday, we will definitely be back, hopefully later in the year.

I can't be more happier about this hotel. First, when we came we have had some small issues about the room, I spoke to the staff and my issue has been escalated and fixed in a few hours. Wow! Such a good expierence! If you want to feel pleased and welcome as a family member you have to chose this place. Food is really good, drinks are nice and rooms are cozy. Environment full of flowers, roses. You can see a in a few meters. Amazing stuff, place, food and environment. Will come back again!

Visited with my 10 year old son, cannot fault anything, great food and drinks, really nice room, every where was spotlessly clean. Good entertainment and an overall laid back atmosphere. Would recommend to anyone and hopefully be lucky enough to return.

Just home from a lovely relaxing week away here with my hubby, room was big and clean.however, I could do with updating food & drink were ideal for us. Entertainment staff very enthusiastic and all staff friendly. We couldn't fault anything.

This hotel is amazing. It is by far the best all inclusive hotel we have ever stayed in. The rooms are fairly basic, have air con and everything you need. The hotel is surrounded by other hotels so isn’t the best location if you want to eat out, however the food at the hotel was unreal. Every night is a different theme and had so much choice every night. Breakfast was the same every day but again had so much choice. They even have a vegetarian corner full of options. The staff at the hotel were all lovely and polite. There were plenty of sunbeds, so there was never any pressure to get up early to get a bed. The hotel itself doesn’t have a beach however there is a cove so you can swim in the sea at the hotel. There are 2 pools and 2 bars open throughout the day. The lunch was served by the pool and again had different choices each day. There was a variety of entertainment in the evenings. There was table service for drinks in the evenings and the staff would regularly bring drinks so there was never any need to go to the bar ourselves. I would say this hotel is perfect if you want an all inclusive. It’s not in an ideal location if you want to eat out however there were buses/taxis from the hotel. We will definitely stay at this hotel again.

After arriving late we where welcomed by the lovely reception staff and who had made up a sandwich bag for us. We were shown to our one bed apartment with sea view. We realised our apartment was over the pool which wasn't what we asked for, I went to reception and was told it was a pool/sea view and would see the beautiful view in the meaning, as there was no rooms to change too. On being woken the next morning by the entertainment around the pool at 10am we quickly realised we were in the wrong place. We had gone on our own no children and it was definitely the wrong place for two 50+ plus Year olds. It is in the middle of nowhere and definitely need a car. Taxi from hotel to harbour was 16 euro each way or you can book a return for a cheaper option but not much difference in price. Food wasn't the best first time all inclusive and it's not for us. Felt like I was in a cattle market rushing to try and get food, food not the best and not very hot. We stopped eating in the hotel from Tuesday onwards due to hubby being sick. Not sure it was down to the hotel so didn't say anything. Definitely not a place for young couples wanting bars nearby, felt isolated. After meeting people at the airport who had stayed all inclusive in different hotels, the photos we where shown of their food we where definitely short changed. Wouldn't return but it has beautiful views and lovely staff but definitely felt it wasn't for us. Everyone is different and I'm sure they're are people who really enjoyed it, and if you want an escape and to be able to sit round the bar pool and do nothing then it's for you.

We stayed at Akti Beach for a 10 night break in June. Overall it was a nice break and the hotel was good but there is some room for improvement. We arrived just after 11pm and were handed a lunch bag and a drinks voucher to use as we missed the main dinner service and the all inclusive service had finished for the day. The studio room we had was big with plenty of storage, the room was made over each day and fresh towels provided when needed. We had a small kitchenette including a fridge, kettle, microwave, hotplate and cooking equipment. Though if you like tea in the morning you may need to buy milk as they only had coffee cream in the room. In general the hotel was clean, family-focused and the staff friendly. For all inclusive, the food was decent with plenty of variety and had a different theme each night. We always found something to eat but if you are a fussy eater you might struggle (though there is always a pasta/chips option available). Desserts generally were not great but there was always plenty of watermelon available should you want something sweet (it would be nice to see other fruit options available at lunch and dinner). The restaurant does feel a little cramped at peak times. The drinks are self-service in the restaurant including wine, beer and a variety of soft drinks. I've seen a few reviews saying people got ill from the hotel - while we were there were absolutely fine and I think this is one of the few hotels where we haven't been ill! One of the main disappointments for us were the drinks. Not all of the drinks on the menu were included on the all inclusive and could be purchased at an additional cost. This included Aperol spritz, mai tai, pina colada etc (the good classics!). Prosecco was not included in the all inclusive list but kir royale and a peach bellini were! The cocktails you had to pay for did look far superior to the all inclusive ones. The cocktails that were included in the all inclusive were poor at best - measurements of the ingredients were eyeballed and the ingredient quality wasn't the best. The all inclusive at the bar ended at 11pm - any drinks after this could be purchased before the bar closed at midnight. I will say the bar staff were great and very attentive - they were always walking around the bar area taking orders from the tables. The entertainment was aimed at families and children (think mini-disco, magician, games night). We're in our mid-twenties with no kids so the entertainment didn't really suit us, though we did enjoy the fire dance show. The animation team were good and didn't force you to do anything if you didn't want to. Though bingo 5 times per week (€5 per ticket) got a little repetitive. There was only one bar open on a night so if you want a quiet drink there isn't really anywhere else to go. An information pack in the room said the Argo Bar (the one by the quiet pool) was open from 10:00-24:00 though we never saw it open on an evening. We never struggled to get a sun
