BEWARE OF THE PLUNGE POOLS IF YOU HAVE YOUNG CHILDREN WHO ARENT ABLE SWIMMERS The view from our Junior Villa was stunning & breakfast at Lofos was amazing … however the plunge pool caused us a lot of concern. If I had known how deep it would be I wouldn’t have booked. Due to the nature of the villa we were in , 601, the pool was literally steps away from the door of the villa. The plunge pool was approx 5ft deep which left our child out of his depth in the pool. Of course as parents it’s our responsibility to monitor him, it’s just that to have that depth of water literally outside the bedroom was really stressful. Also the 5ft drop on the other side of of the pool is also a concern. We just couldn’t fully relax when at the villa. We spent most of our time at the hotel pool as since it had a shalllw end our don was safe there. We noticed on one of the larger villas a wooden fence / baby gate in front of the pool & so requested one but we were told they didn’t have any for our room, only for babies. I guess we weren’t paying enough for our son to be safe like the bigger villas. However from photos on here it seems perhaps not all the pools are as deep as the one we had. It’s clearly an older room with an older pool that’s a bit rusty in places with a green tide marks around the glass and edge of the pool. The pool only got cleaned out of bugs once during our stay, we did it the rest of the time ourselves. As others said last year it’s not truly 5 star. The food was very hit or miss - mainly a miss. The children’s menu was the same in every single restaurant & was really poor. We got re-heated chicken at least twice served up with frozen vegetables. When we tried to dine at Lofos at night the food took forever to arrive & I am so sure it gets sent up from the hotel. When it finally arrived my child’s chicken was inedible. So dry and tough. We got reheated chicken nuggets at Armyra that were so burnt & hard I almost chipped a tooth. As a review from last year says there is a terrible smell in the lobby area of the hotel. Our transfer to the villas was also not pleasant - an old car stinking of stale cigarette smoke & a driver we had to ask to slow down. The return in the hotel mini bus just as bad. No booster seat for our child, smelly driver taking corners like a race track so our child got car sick. Some of the staff were pretty off hand, there was a time during the day (5-6pm) where you can’t get any food even nachos. We weren’t on all-inclusive but every time we ordered a glass of winewe were poured the tiniest amount. We had to set up and rearrange the extra bed in our room as well. I’d have to say it’s like the comfort & safety of children don’t really matter here at Eagles Villa despite it being advertised as family friendly.

The villas are stunning and was our 4th stay but sadly didn’t think will return for a while. Last visit I raised issues but it seems not picked up on and if anything things have gotten worse. No acknowledgment or benefit for returning clients and indeed this year felt the least favourite villa allocated accept busy but it’s the small things that separate a true 5 star resort. It was only the fact that some staff remembered us from previous stays as never saw any management our entire stay. Positives the villa the view the staff the staff the staff! Special mention to villa staff, buggy drivers and beach staff who work tirelessly and always with a smile! Negatives have been mentioned by others . Last year in the evening had a choice of 6 venues for dinner this year 4 and boy does that impact on stay. Made worse by the fact the lunch menu in the fish restaurant is the same in the evening! Breakfast was favourite meal of day again made by the staff and service. Mini bar never topped up but we took mixers back from beach with us. Asked for tea bags took 24 hours to arrive. We thought Bon Vivant good for drinks and had wonderful beach cocktails and wine with meals. Venum our favourite restaurant. Main bar at night boy so different to beach bars! Rarely smiled and if not on drinks menu couldn’t have it. No entertainment and no atmosphere 😔 Liked the food truck at lunch. Overall good but some issues.
