Xenios Possidi Paradise Hotel

Warning – Dangerous Hotel, No Cleaning Standards My son suffered food poisoning after eating here, and it ruined our holiday. Food is served cold, not kept at safe temperatures, and the overall hygiene is shocking. The restaurant is dirty, surfaces are not cleaned properly, and equipment like the ice cream freezer is filthy. The cleaning standards are non-existent. You can clearly see from the photos I’ve attached that food is not fresh, fridges are in poor condition, and basic hygiene rules are ignored. This is not what you expect from a hotel claiming to be four stars. It is extremely unsafe – if nothing changes, someone will end up seriously ill or worse. Families should avoid this hotel at all costs.

Four star my a**e . We are a family of 5 from Hampshire . The hotel needs a good maintenance man to come sort all the broken locks , sunbeds , doors, plugs , floor tiles , shower heads … the bloke would have a full time job for life . It’s a pretty hotel (minus all the bits falling apart )that’s not to busy and the lack of any sort of entertainment means it’s a quiet hotel too . I’d advise bringing a few board games . The only thing for the kids is a pool but the rules are a total vibe kill . My children were told off for , splashing , jumping , holding on to the edge , standing by the edge ect ect. But only my kids my English kids … these rules didn’t seem to apply to non English kids and they were pretty much allowed to do what ever they wanted without a harsh whistle blown at them once . The lifeguard would warn our kids for having to much fun and if she needed to repeat that fun mustn’t be had she would ask them to get out for 15 minutes…. In 40degree heat . The bar staff would ignore my children if they approached the bar for a drink but again other children were allowed . The staff were extremely racist and the guests even more so . We felt incredibly uncomfortable the whole holiday. The food was inedible and had nothing seen by us English folk before , and we spent most night out for dinner . But we didn’t have much more luck outside the hotel . The local bars and restaurants would look at us like we’re from out of space , one night as we left a restaurant the waitress collected all her staff where they lined up to stare at us while we left , it made my children uncomfortable as the unapologetically stared at us while we made our way out of the place . This place has no idea what all inclusive means … one day the water got closed off so the soft drinks were from bottles and warm … but my daughter cannot drink fizzy due to a medical condition, as they had been shut of from water we were then forced to buy big bottles of water from behind the bar. When we asked the staff for anything we were responded to with a strong NO . The women’s football final was on and we asked if it could be shown on the bar tv . They had been showing f1 on it all day but when we asked they said that the tv was broken and we went allowed to watch it . It’s been on every day all day since being here . Location of the hotel is a few steps from the beach . All around the hotel it says one umbrella and 2 loungers per room . But on the beach this wasn’t monitored and we were never able to get a space on the beach as family’s would take as many as they wanted . This did keep the pool quiet but the pool came with rules . We strongly regretted coming here for 2 weeks , actually we regretted coming here at all . I would avoid this place and wish no other English family come here again . It’s racist and full to the brim of rude staff and guests and food the street dogs wouldn’t even touch . One the plus side all 5 of us have lost weight on this ‘all inclusive ‘

The hotel itself was fine, but our trip was organized by the tour operator Travel Professional Group — and it was a nightmare. The bus departed earlier than scheduled without any prior notice, and the journey took over 40 hours, with hourly stops and two nights spent on the bus. We arrived at the hotel at 6:00 AM, meaning we lost a full paid day of accommodation. The company refused to provide any refund, even though we only asked for compensation for that one night. It’s a shame that such a nice hotel is now associated with such an incompetent tour operator. p.s. The photo was made at sunrise as we arrived. Beautiful, but sad that we have lost one day.

Do not go to this hotel, it’s not as advertised, not worthy of 1 star, staff incredibly rude, food not edible, we had to eat out everyday. Rooms are unclean and unsafe. All inclusive not all inclusive, no ice creams, no spirits, pop tastes like water. Honestly please don’t go it’s so bad.

I came here as a family of 5 people, 2 adults and 3 children. I have never had a worse experience like this before. Let's start with the room...a musty basement room with no view but a wall in front. The pool is very small, especially for children with many prohibitions...you are not allowed to play with a ball in the pool, you are not allowed to jump and many others. Activities for children 0. Playground for children nothing. No activity whatsoever. The food is cooked only for a certain type of tradition but not Greek for sure. Food only with sauces and very heavy for summer. You simply have no choice. I don't even say dessert anymore. For children, you can take your mind off the food. They have nothing but a boiled white paste. Very bad quality. The beach is full of stones with very little sand, full of stones even in the water, dangerous for us as well as for the children. The beach is very small. You have almost nothing to do .. not even a trip, if you don't have a car you are tied hand and foot. It is the worst experience so far. I do not advise anyone. It is not a 4 star hotel, Max 2 stars. all the bad reviews are true. I tried not to take them into account when I bought this holiday and now I'm sorry and I'm very disappointed. Good : staff of the bar , and cleaning lady.
