Eftalia Ocean Resort and Spa

We had a lovely holiday here. The rooms are lovely and spacious. There is always cleaners about cleaning, the hotel is spotless! There isn't a lot to do outside of the hotel/island but there is plenty to keep you busy on them, so no need to really leave the complex if you dont want too. The food is delicious, especially on the island, the kebabs are chefs kiss and the jacket potatoes are the biggest I'd ever seen.

Hotel always clean and staff are working 24/7. The family suite room was perfect, clean spacious and a great view. Beds are a little hard. Food is fantastic, be adventurous and try new things. I had a plate full every day with loads of Turkish food I'd never had and loved it! The coke is real Pepsi but Fanta is local brand. Wine isn't good but beer is efes. The tunnel from the hotel to the beach can stink like bad drains at times. Go to the Sunday market early in the morning before it gets to hot, or last thing before they close as they really want that last sale. Closes around 6pm.

We stayed for a week in a 3 bed swim up room. The hotel itself is very well equipped. The room was brilliant, nice and clean, the house keepers kept the supply of soft drinks topped up all week. The food was good at the hotel, if a little stressful if you went during the busy periods, if you went after the rush it was far more relaxed. We didn’t use the main pool at all, which says a lot about the swim up room pool. The occasions we walked past though, it was very slippy so I suggest pool shoes to try and combat this. Also the flooring in general was very slippy when wet throughout the hotel. The location wasn’t the greatest in terms of getting out and exploring, unless we didn’t venture far enough. We did find a beautiful restaurant on the sea front called Star Beach Club which was extremely good food and value for money. We had a holiday rep looking after us called Sergio, we lost a suitcase and he worked hard to locate and get it returned for us, brilliant service from him. The beach bars on the island seemed quiet, I think these could’ve been utilised better and made to be more inviting, they kept the lights off until people wanted to use the area. We hired a gazebo which was serviced for a day, brilliant service, they kept our drinks topped up and even brought us all lunch which was delicious. Overall it was a nice stay and no real issues at all.
