Panorama Hotel

Such a beautiful location and peaceful the complex is family run mainly by two brothers Nicos and Vasillis (apologies spelling) and it shows as the gardens and communal areas are spotless The pool area is maintained so well and has lovely bar area which also doubles up into the reception area It’s located at the far end of Petra but is a short (20min) walk to Petra The only negative is the track is not used by coaches due to the drop off the road If you don’t like steep access to the rooms then row 3-5 is not a good option although row 5 has stunning views over the bay We have booked next year to return in August and hopefully we can get row 3 which is just high enough for a sea view? The rooms are kept very clean my only gripe would be the shower could be better as a cubicle as opposed to a plastic curtain? But is not a deal breaker

After our first stay in 2022 we knew that we would return to the Panorama, for us it ticks all the boxes, it's well maintained and clean with lovely grounds, the family are friendly and helpful and nothing seemed too much trouble, the room was up awfully high but I did e mail ahead to request a high room with a sea view so I can't complain. The pool area is spotless and a lovely way to spend the day, no sun lounger shenanigans here as there is pretty much always availability, it's lovely and quiet too with no music - just lovely and peaceful. Breakfast is very simple but always nice ( could do with a new toaster though ), and if there really is nothing that you like it's only a short 15 minute walk into Petra town where there is breakfast served everywhere. This is a lovely charming family run hotel and I hope it stays just the same, thank you to all the staff here for another fabulous stay.

Future guest should know this hotel is a hidden gem - if you're only willing to walk the 100 metres from the main road to get here. First thing you see is the pool with enough sunbeds - all guests are never here by the pool at the same time. The family owned hotel is really nice and comfortable; not new but perfectly renewed and fresh. Beds are comfortable, there are beautifully embroidered towels and sheets. What I loved was there's a cotton blanket instead of a woolen one, that was less warm. Breakfast was not boring; fruit and veggies every morning, brown bread and eggs, Greek biscuits, a pie or sponge cake everyday, different jams and of course Greek youghurt and honey!

Wonderful location overlooking the bay. Booked directly and asked for a Seaview room, which was a lovely large, clean room. All areas of the hotel were immaculate. Breakfast was nice and not too busy. Great library room with many English books. Highly recommend.

Holiday started badly when having paid for a sea view room, we were put in one without any sea view whatever. One of the brother owners did not show any concern and said we would have to wait 2 days to receive a sea view. Sheets only changed once in a week, and had to ask for clean towels. Breakfast was a case of queueing for everything. Only one hot water station, and 2 small toasters for sometimes up to 50 people. The bread was not fresh, and the slices about beer mat size. Found the 2 brothers aloof and not particularly helpful. The young girls and young boy who helped around breakfast, serving lunch, and behind the bar were all very friendly and helpful. It is a good sized pool with plenty of past their sell by date sun loungers, very tatty. Unfortunately someone pooed in the pool one afternoon. The solution was one of the brothers scooped out what he could see, the pool wasn’t closed, and nobody was informed about what happened. Totally irresponsible! The hotel is totally not for anyone with any mobility problems. Would we return or recommend this Hotel to anyone. Not if we wanted to stay friends with them.
