Niko Seaside Resort

It was difficult to overall evaluate this hotel because some bits were just phenomenal and others severely lacking…. What it does well The location and view is absolutely stunning and every morning and evening at meal times that view would simply take your breath away. The beds are absolutely wonderful and comfortable and I liked the Clarins shampoo and shower gel and fresh towels every day. What it does badly I know this can’t be helped because it’s built in to a cliff side, but the whole layout of the hotel is very odd with 2 lifts to have to get around. One lift up as far as floor 5 then a corridor to another lift to floor 9. Because of the cliff side issue our room was long and dark. We were upgraded to a suite on the 2nd floor but our sea view was more road view and service entrance where the staff would congregate to smoke cigarettes. The whole lighting system in the bedrooms is utterly unfathomable. Why over complicate it, along with the electric curtains which meant you could have them open or closed but nowhere in between. When we arrived there was absolutely no hanging space for clothes at all?!? In a room that size we could not figure out why there was no wardrobe. When we enquired they said it’s no problem they can arrange for a hanging rail on wheels for the duration of our stay and that’s what we got. Utterly bizarre. The rooms with a plunge pool seem odd as from the pool and restaurant area you can see that these have no privacy whatsoever as they are glass balconies and glass plunge pools! We had no issue with getting sunbeds but I can totally see that this would be a major issue in summer. we did however love the resort and have booked to come again this year, just a different hotel.

Superb autumn break. Beautiful room, great service, Pool is small and no sun from mid afternoon and although we had no issues as it was late in the season I can imagine the sun beds are in demand in high season.Upgraded on arrival which was a lovely surprise.

Really really disappointed and upset to learn that the hotel has decided to close early this season cancelling our HONEYMOON with only 6 days notice!!! What a way of making an already stressed out bride to be even more stressed right before our wedding. Absolutely devastated.
