Hotel in zona Akri Seaside Bar, Elios Proni

We had such a lovely week here in the middle of August and we will definitely look to return. Transport to/from the airport was so quick as it’s so close. Watching the planes come and go was a real treat - especially from the beach where it almost felt as though you could reach out and touch them as they landed. The beach was sandy and only a short 5 minute walk away. The pool at the hotel was clean and had the best sunbeds I’ve been on. There were plenty of beds still available come 10am. The edges of the pool were quite rough as was mentioned in previous reviews - I’d suggest taking socks for the kids to wear in the pool if they’re going to be going in and out or jumping in a lot as my sons feet did get grazed a lot in the first day or two. Bar service was good with (mostly) friendly staff. Service was a little slow at times but once you relaxed and went with the chilled out pace you didn’t mind so much. We were All Inclusive and I felt that the range of drinks included was more than sufficient. Not all cocktails were included in the package but that is to be expected. Still a good amount to choose from and lots of spirits included so I never felt that the choice was lacking. The food for lunch and dinners was absolutely delicious. Not a massive range to choose from as it’s a relatively small hotel but there were definitely enough options, even for kids and picky eaters. I’m from Cypriot heritage and was really looking forward to having some lovely Greek food and can say that I was extremely pleased with the quality and taste of all of the traditional foods which were available at every meal. The waitress that looked after us for every lunch and dinner was so friendly and really made an effort to make us comfortable. Breakfast had great choices too, mostly the same each day but with some variations. For example one day smoked salmon might be available but another day there would be something else on offer, all in addition to the usual hot buffet options, pastries, yogurts, cereals, breads, meats and cheeses (and probably more that I’ve missed). The sunsets by the pool were stunning. We didn’t do any excursions ourselves but the other half of our party who stayed an extra week did and by all accounts they thoroughly enjoyed them. The rooms were basic but sufficient for our needs and in truth we were hardly in them as spent all day by the pool/beach. The rooms were cleaned daily and the cleaners were lovely.
