Calypso Beach

Amazing value for money. Approx 10min transfer time from airport. Staff friendly and efficient throughout. Check in was instant, he knew who we were without giving our names and offered us some food as we arrived late in the evening. Rooms- modern altho quite narrow, large powerful shower. Main bed was comfy but pull out bed for the kids quite hard. Pillows lovely on all beds and great air con. Free safe in room and fridge stocked with beer and soft drinks which were replenished daily. Complimentary bottle of wine and ouzo in the room too. Balcony a bit small and only 2 chairs for the 4 of us, but we didn’t use as went cooler in the evenings as we visited end of October. Pool towels free to use and changed throughout the week when you wanted them. Food-typical all inclusive buffet. Fresh salads, bread and fruit at every meal were lovely. Plenty of nice pasta dishes and small kids station each night. Pancakes, eggs and omelettes cooked fresh each morning and always a freshly cooked meat/pasta dish being served as well as the stuff to help yourselves to. Drinks machines with juices, soft drinks, water, wine and beer to help yourself to. Never a problem getting a table whatever time we visited. Snack bar during the day served lots of lovely salads, breads, freshly cooked bbq food and snacky stuff like hot dogs, burgers gyros etc. scooped ice cream you could help yourself to in cones all day long and lady making crepes by the pool from 10.30-6 was amazing. Crisps and nuts were available to help yourself from later on in the snack bar. Pools were lovely but quite fresh at this time of year! Fine for swimming in tho. Couple of small water slides designed more for little kids. Plenty of sun beds to be had at whatever time of day and free pump for blowing up inflatables. Daily water aerobics and sometimes water polo. Beach was lovely, again never a problem getting sun loungers and pool bar close enough to get drinks. Be warned cups are very small and too aren’t allowed to fill your own bottles, so you end up making a lot of trips. Still water isn’t available by the pool bar, so you have to go back inside for that which is a pain. Wooden paths take you within a few metres of the sea, so you can access with wheelchairs/pushchairs. Lifts in the hotel were ok and there was a wheelchair accessible route to the pool/beach. You could also access the snack bar from within the hotel avoiding the steps by the pool. Disabled toilet by the main pool too, but would say rooms too narrow to turn round in a wheelchair in. Other entertainment-daily yoga, bowls and beach volley ball and sometimes ping pong and darts tournament’s. You can hire ping pong stuff for free along with the small crazy golf course from reception.Pool , air hockey and table football by the snack bar were all 1 euro a go. Didn’t really hear much of the evening entertainment, but sounded like the odd singer. Check out was great, allowed to keep our room till 5pm if needed free of

Great hotel but the highlight was the amazing Aegeo Spa! Friendly, knowledgeable and helpful team with very reasonable prices. I had a fantastic treatment with Svetlana / one of the best treatments I have ever had! Highly recommend Svetlana and a visit to the Spa if you’re staying at Calypso.
