Ilio Mare Resort Hotel

Although the hotel is rated 5⭐️, it's not comfortable. We booked a suite, but the TV is small, the air conditioning is set to run hourly and automatically turns off and on again. The rooms are quite poorly maintained. The bathrooms are old. So, it's not a hotel worthy of a 5-star rating. It's close to the beach, quiet, has a good breakfast, and the staff is friendly. However, it's quite far from the bazaar (17 km to Thassos), and there's nothing to see nearby. I wouldn't recommend it.

While the Ilio Mare hotel boasts a beautiful beach and a nice bar in a well-situated location, my recent stay was far from enjoyable due to significant shortcomings. The most glaring issue was the incompetent and rude staff, particularly the saloon manager. Their lack of professionalism and courtesy truly detracted from any potential positive aspects of the hotel. It felt as if customer service was an afterthought, leading to an unwelcoming atmosphere. Although the rooms were superficially clean, they were a letdown. The furniture was old and broken, giving the impression of neglect. Furthermore, there was an unpleasant smell lingering in the room, and to make matters worse, I discovered black mold in the bathroom. This is completely unacceptable for any accommodation, let alone one in such a prime location. Parking was another major frustration. There are not enough parking spots overall, and the two designated for electric vehicles were constantly occupied by normal cars, making it impossible to charge. This lack of enforcement and consideration for guests with specific needs added to the overall negative experience. I would not recommend the Ilio Mare hotel despite its appealing location and beachfront. The issues with staff, room quality, and parking significantly outweigh any positives, making it a truly disappointing experience.

The hotel was great probably 10-20 years ago, because that is the last time it was renovated. The fridge and the AC are old, the AC in my room was leaking water and it couldn’t be fixed. For a 5 star, the food selection is not really big, and the reasturant doesn’t have AC, so it’s really hot inside. The pool is not properly cleaned. The reason I gave 2 stars is because of the great staff, everything else is not great. For the same money, or even for cheaper, there are so much better options in Greece. I don’t recommend this place.
