Kalámi Vacation Packages

At times it's difficult to fault parts of the experience at this hotel, but we couldn't help feeling that it is overall disappointing. We did not go all inclusive because we only stayed for three days and that may have some bearing on this review. Let's start with the good things. The food is very good, the breakfast is excellent, as are the Vertigo, beach bar and restaurant. Taverna Maria (not part of the hotel) is highly recommended. The beach is brilliant (and managed by a friendly chap). The facilities are good too - pool, sunloungers and extras like the tennis courts. The staff are very polite and speak excellent English too. They are very welcoming and helpful at all stages. But overall, it did feel underwhelming. The rooms and the bathrooms in particular have a sewage smell and there's no shifting it. I couldn't help feeling the drinks are watered down (not great if you're not all inclusive) and perhaps the overall feeling with this type of resort (catering for the masses) is that you don't get the small touches that make a 5 star holiday really memorable. This hotel is great (especially the beach) if you're a person who's happy with a traditional package holiday, but for anyone who likes to explore, due to the remoteness, it probably isn't for you.

The parking was easy, and plentiful. Breakfast was timely every morning and had a variety of options from eggs, fruit, waffles, yogurt, meat, cheese and bread. Located only a 5 min walk from the main strip of town, there were so many restaurant, cafe, ice cream and souvenirs. We would stay here again.

Excellent hotel. Family friendly, great staff, good food. Beach and pools amazing although none of them heated so can be cold (we were there end of season) didn’t stop us though! Limited entertainment but nice vibe in the piazza area in the evenings.

Lovely private pool. Attentive and friendly staff. Good location by the sea, unfortunately there were a lot of mosquitos in the evenings. Obviously, this is outside the control of the hotel. In spite of the mosquitoes we would still go back.

Lovely place in the hills, staff are very helpful & friendly. Previous reviews are spot on, particularly the one about an easy walk downhill to Lakka but walk back is up hill (mind it’s only 22mins).
