Farres Scuba Diving Vacations

The view was amazing! We didn’t want to leave

My plan was to give this property 1 or 2 stars but it earned 3 stars because of the private adult only beach which made this vacation so much better. A few things as heads up: 1.) the check in time is 3pm, seems to me that they intentionally keep you wait till 3pm as we were offered an early check in for 1250 Euro (yep, you heard it right) but got into the room at 3pm. We went to the beach so didn’t mind too much. 2.) some of the sea front rooms are NOT sea front rooms. We were told that we got a sea front room but it was sea view. 3.) the area is not that nice outside of the resort. 4.) There are a lot of families, a lot. Coming back to the room we couldn’t use the private pool because we were surrounded by families and noise. Same for breakfast. Same for the pool and beach area. What saved our vacation from being a disaster was the private adult only beach. The adult only beach is in a great location and a much better view than the hotel. Overall, the hotel is completely over priced and over hyped and we would probably choose a different place when we are back in the area.

Great hotel. If you don’t feel like going to the beach the pool is great to have. No matter the time of day we always found sunbeds. I would recommend booking with breakfast included which is €18 per person. There are no restaurants or cafes close by. Great if you have a car otherwise you have to walk 15+ minutes to get to restaurants or cafes. Or you have to take taxis to get around which will add up.

The style is great. The service is excellent. The location is super convenient, really close to the water and restaurants. And, the food is really good. If you’re looking for a small well managed hotel I would strongly recommend

Stunning property nestled between a couple of other related properties. Very quiet and beautiful grounds, rooms and accommodations. The staff are incredible; friendly, welcoming and eager to help make the stay a pleasure - and it was. We spent 5 days here; 5 days of that truly decadent breakfast, 5 days enjoying the luxurious grounds and service. Lana and the staff here made us feel like family. Arkoudi, the nearby town, is wonderful and has some great restaurants and a really nice bay beach if you find you want to explore outside this Grecotel resort area. My work brought us here, and it's been a lovely discovery - we would like to return to the area and the Mandola Rosa for another trip in the future!

Staff were incredibly helpful! While the restaurant has a limited menu, the preparation of the food was superb.
