Apollonia Beach Resort & Spa

The Apollonio Resort Beach & Spa markets itself as a 5-star hotel — which was a key reason why we chose to book it. Unfortunately, the experience fell far short of expectations. In reality, the property resembles more of an outdated 3- to 4-star establishment, frequented — regrettably, again and again — by guests whose behavior lacked basic social etiquette. At times, the atmosphere felt reminiscent of “Ballermann” party culture. We had booked a junior suite, which turned out to be tired and old-fashioned in style. The mattresses were uncomfortably hard, and the bedding setup did not accommodate the bed frames properly. The bathroom was cramped, and the shower awkwardly integrated into a bathtub. Although the room was advertised as 60 m² (balcony included), the layout felt inefficient and the space not particularly well-designed. This resort may be acceptable for families looking for a casual 3- to 4-star vacation, but anyone seeking genuine luxury, peace, or elegance will likely be disappointed. The buffet was average at best. The à la carte restaurant was decent, though certainly not gourmet-level. On a more positive note, we would like to praise the animation team, particularly Ali, Eduardo, Mario, and Andrea, who were consistently upbeat and contributed greatly to the overall mood. Special thanks also go to the waitstaff, especially Manolis, Chrisi, and Stavros, who stood out for their professionalism, humor, and attentiveness. Sadly, other staff members lacked basic hospitality skills and seemed unsuited for their roles. We stayed for three weeks, and one major frustration was the lack of closet space, forcing us to live out of our suitcases — not exactly a 5-star experience. The beach was a highlight: spacious sunbeds with generous distance between them allowed for some degree of privacy. However, strong winds in June often blew sand directly into our faces, which made beach time unpleasant at times. Organizationally, the hotel was underwhelming. The pre-arranged taxi service failed; after waiting 40 minutes, we had to organize one ourselves. Though they kindly offered us a free return transfer to the airport as compensation, even this wasn’t managed properly. Another group of guests took our assigned cab, and we were left waiting an additional 30 minutes — a frustrating end to an already underwhelming stay. In summary: we do not recommend this hotel to anyone looking for refined service, comfort, or a true 5-star experience.

The whole experience at the spa from start to finish was amazing. My friend & I had full body massage, facial and scalp massage which made us fall asleep! We also did the hot rocks bed. The staff were very accommodating. We were celebrating my friends 30th birthday & the team put up a birthday banner in the massage room & made the day that more special for her. Thank you to, Elena, Olga & Vasiliki for a memorable day.

Excellent hotel. I recommend it to everyone. Good food, rooms, pools, etc. The best thing was the animation programs where there were darts, football and other sports. There was also a mini-board for children and the animation team was nice. I recommend it.

Thank you so much for your hospitality to your entire staff. We would especially like to thank Mr. Manolis for his professional and human approach to guests, which is admirable and exemplary. Best regards, Rudolf, Eva and Adam from Prague, Czech Republic.

I would like to ask what the full name of the yoga animator Mario from Slovakia is..?Thank you for your answer.Otherwise it's beautiful here and I'm glad I chose this hotel and I like the food here, it's really beautiful here

Just visited Apollona Beach Spa Hotel and experienced amazing spa services in Aegeo Spa. First day I did spa procedure with peeling, body mask and Cretan massage. It was increadibly amazing experience. My master’s name was Olga. So I 100% recommend her. Regarding the massage: I was asked before regarding the preffered intensivity. So it was enough intense for me and very relaxing. The feeling of peace, calmness and pure joy of the body afterwards. Olga also did a spa pedicure next day with massage and peeling for my feet. As I am doing ballet, tuning and wearing high heels, I had tough skin with corns. Olga removed everything very gently and brought me the feeling that I lost several kilograms of weight by cleaning my feet. I felt baby skin on my feet afterwards. Very good service, attitude, and quality of procedures. I also enjoyed the cosmetics used in this spa: great smells, natural ingredients (which is important for me) and well-being of the skin afterwards, no synthetic coverage on the skin.
