Colonides Beach Hotel

We stayed here for one week and was absolutely delighted with the Hotel and location. The rooms were basic as some have commented previously, but had everything you could need and were very clean. The communal areas around the 2 pools were fantastic and had amazing sea views. The breakfast was standard hotel B&B stuff but always plentiful and decent. ALL the staff we dealt with in our stay were really friendly and excellent, would definitely stay there again without reservation as it was hard to fault if you are looking for a quiet decent hotel in the area (There are also a few good restaurants walkable from the hotel towards the beach and also in the little village nearby as well as a nice restaurant/bar in the hotel itself)

We stayed in one of the junior suit and we were excited to stay at this hotel having read all the positive reviews, but we got really disappointed beginning to end of our staying. To start with the hotel is quite big and feels more like a tourist village than a boutique hotel. The overall look, feel, decoration especially of the reception and rooms is really old fashioned and dated. It always looked clean but for what we paid we were really expected a luxury experience, whereas this compare at best to a 3 star hotel. There’s no attention to detail anywhere, not on the interior design, not on the breakfast presentation and even the staff uniforms look really standard. The communal infinity pool seemed nice but if you’re traveling as a couple and hoping for a romantic stay this might not be the place. The pool was full of kids playing and splashing around, which is also nice but there should be more clarity on the hotel website that even though there are two pools, none of them are adults only. Also if you’re looking at booking the junior suit, please don’t fall for the ‘swimming pool in the room’ detail. It’s a nice concept but the overall feel of the room was basic and old fashioned and having a private pool didn’t make it moreromantic. The wifi didn’t work properly and we had to call the staff a few times to get it fixed but it never quite worked. The 4g or 5g doesn’t really work where the hotel is located so do consider how much you might need connections when you come to this place. The breakfast is standard and basic with not even fresh orange juice that is quite normal in this area. None of the staff in the breakfast area ask you if you’d like any type of coffee from the bar; they just let you use the automatic coffee machine. If you’re someone who travels a lot and normally stay in luxury boutique hotel, you will not like this place.
