"DESPICABLE. The hotel management/receptionist was rude and most of the time we couldn’t find anyone at the reception desk. The room was dusty, the pillows had yellow stains on them and the bathroom was unacceptable with lot of mould in and around the shower. On top of everything they had the nerve to call us and complain that we didn’t say goodbye( because there was no one at the reception desk )."

"We spent 7 nights on the Premium All Inclusive package at Elix Mar-Bella and honestly couldn’t recommend it more. As a couple in our mid-20s, it was the perfect relaxing getaway. I’m usually quite sceptical about all-inclusive holidays because food and service can sometimes feel average, but the quality here exceeded our expectations. The Room Our room was really spacious and cleaned daily with fresh towels every day. The bathroom was fully stocked with lovely shower gel, shampoo, conditioner and body lotion, plus robes and slippers were refreshed too. The bed was huge and incredibly comfortable, and the pillows were honestly some of the best we’ve had in a hotel. We chose a pool room with a sea view and it was 100% worth paying extra for — having our own pool made the holiday feel much more private and luxurious, especially as there were quite a few families staying at the hotel during May. The minibar was fully stocked and included in our package throughout the 7 days we were there, which was a really nice touch. I believe there is normally a restocking fee, so definitely worth checking depending on your package. The Food The food was great. The quality and variety across the buffet and restaurants were amazing, and everything felt fresh and high-end rather than your typical all-inclusive food. Every night had a different theme however consistently had fresh grilled chicken salads, pastas potatoes, and veggie options too. There was also fresh fruit with every meal. During our stay we were able to dine at three different restaurants within the hotel, plus we had a “dine out” experience included where we ate at a lovely seaside restaurant nearby — all included in the package. We didn’t need to spend a penny extra the entire trip. There was also unlimited ice cream throughout the day and the option to have lunch at either of the restaurants instead of the buffet, which we really appreciated. Service across the hotel was consistently excellent and all the staff were incredibly attentive and friendly. We were also able to order bottles of wine, cocktails, coffees all at no extra cost. Extras & Activities We also received 30 minutes of complimentary beach watersports per day, which was a really nice extra so we did kayaking one of the days. There were always plenty of loungers available whether you wanted to relax by the pool or at the beach. One thing worth noting is that the beach is stony and the sea could be slightly rough at times, but the water was beautiful, crystal clear and definitely still worth swimming in. There were loads of activities included too — we played tennis, joined a yoga session, and there were also options for the gym, sauna, Pilates, running clubs and more, all included within the package. The WiFi also worked well throughout the whole hotel, including around the pool and beach areas, which we didn’t expect. Special shoutout to Anna who looked after us poolside during our stay — she was amazing. She constantly top"

"This is a hotel which management have abandoned their duties. There are many signs of poor to zero maintenance. The AC filter in our room had not been cleaned and the room therefore stunk of old cigarette smoke. The grassed areas surrounding the walkways were long and unkept, the pools, notwithstanding numerous complaints on this platform, although sparkling clear the walls and side tiles where covered in green algae and slimy to the touch even the safety foot pads on the steps were missing. The hotel is very obviously short staffed so although the staff are pleasant and extremely helpful there are just not enough personnel to even begin to supply the service expected in a 4 star establishment. The breakfast was not great and again did not represent a 4 star establishment. All in all the hotel is in a great position and has the potential to be a good family hotel but there is a lot of work and commitment required by management before it will be rated a descent resort hotel."

"Beautiful boutique hotel in a quiet location with direct beach access and crystal-clear water. Rooms have stunning 180° sea views towards Agia Paraskevi island. Staff are extremely friendly and helpful, always ready to assist. The hotel is built on a slope, so there are some stairs, but this adds a nice touch of exercise – or you can simply use the golf carts available. Easy to reach Sivota, Parga, and Perdika, where you’ll find authentic Greek tavernas. An excellent place for rest and relaxation."

"The place is beautiful. There are several beaches to choose from. At that moment, the sea was like a swimming pool. Ideal to go with children. The center and the marina are beautiful. It's worth going every afternoon. The people there are very friendly and willing to help at all times. The accommodation options are varied. A great place to vacation"

"The hotel was very isolated, the breakfast was not vegetarian/vegan friendly and the "hot" food was barely lukewarm. Poor selection of vegetables and fruit. The pool was OK with a few sunbeds The information we received said 4 km. from the nearest town. That was only partially correct, the road was steep and winding without pavements and no lights at night, in addition there were many stray dogs that could at times be persistent and frightening. We were warned to stay away from the dogs and be very careful especially when they gathered in packs at night. Due to the lack of public transport, taxis were the only type of transport, at a cost of app. 20,- euro to Perdika and 70 euro to Parga and back. In the area around the hotel there was only 1 small shop with a very poor selection. In order not to be too negative I would like to clarify that the sunbeds on the beach were free and the water was absolutely excellent (not for little children - the water gets very deep as soon as you get in and with high waves at times. The rooms and beds were OK, most of the staff were friendly and nice. So unless you want to have a vacation in a tiny place with almost no activities, don't choose this place."
