Eurovillage Achilleas Hotel

Been here before and back now . For you people who say this is a bad hotel you are sad individuals.. its beautiful as always . Grounds . Staff . Food . Drinks and much more . I'm only on my second day and it's as good as last time .. haters .. get lost . This hotel is 💙

the staff s perfect here. th food at the restorant is realy amazing . the hotel is very close to the beachand it has sunbeds as well my kids had so much fun playing with the sand. the pool bar and the bars in general had very good cocktail and the staff was having fun working there.

Do not book this hotel - you will be mis-sold a 4 star hotel when in fact it should be far lower. I saw the poor reviews and thought I’d take a risk which was a big mistake. AVOID. Cons Swimming pool is slightly salty and not freshwater. Room very dated and smelt of mould and wardrobe had an odd smell. Avoid room 610 and ask for an updated one (I booked a family room). I asked for the room to be changed and they said everything would be resolved but it wasn’t . Water in taps is salty which means it’s difficult to lather soaps and hurts eyes. Food of a poor quality - meat undercooked, too tough and/or bland. Breakfast Greek yogurt is vile. Off fruit if you don’t dine early. Crossiants and other pastries unbelievably tough - my daughter has made better at school. Coffee is vile. Food is pretty much the same every night. Very very sweet sugary artificial drinks. Fresh juice is charged for on all inclusive - why?? Charges for beach sunbeds and bingo - again why on all inclusive? Would happily pay for bingo if it went to charity for example. You need to keep complaining to get anything fixed eg safe was broken on arrival, no shower hook, shower curtain not long enough causing water to flood the floor, no fresh towels on day 2 (maid service is every 2 days due to Covid), floor cleaned once after I nagged them. I travelled with teenagers so could sort of cope but if I had a baby or toddler with me I’d have made a major fuss. Pool towels never seemed to be available. Huge queues at reception to get anything addressed. In had to swap my pillow with my daughter as it was way too hard. My bed was ok, but my friend said her’s was very hard and uncomfortable. Beach was covered in sea**** and it was clumped together in the sea so the beach is not as described. Pros Large lovely swimming pool and plenty of sunbeds. Lovely location and easy walk to Mastihari which has amazing restaurants and boat to neighbouring Kalymnos and Pserimos. Decent chips and tzatziki. Beer and wine just about drinkable when you get used to them. Black Russian cocktail drinkable. Nice fresh bread at breakfast Courtesy room provided to us for an hour in a gorgeous room - shame we hadn’t that for our holiday. We did have a great holiday as we made sure we got out and about and had many meals and trips elsewhere. If you were on a budget and were tied to the hotel I’m sorry but I think the hotel would ruin your holiday. I am not the sort of person who complains - but on this occasion after I had spent over £2k on a holiday I had no choice - it was simply unacceptable.

We were abit iffy about this hotel having read reviews but honestly we shouldn’t have been! We got a superior family room lovely beds comfortable only downside is there is no bath but not a problem for us! Air con was lovely! The food is the problem here! It’s very samey and there’s only so much pork u can eat! Rarely anything else! And get up at 6;30 for a sunbed otherwise you won’t get one! But we had a amazing time and it’s beautiful it’s honestly not as bad as some make out! If the food was better this would be perfect! We have loved our holiday! And would coke again!! X

Nice hotel and staff but food is really bad we ate out everyday spending over a €1000 so I wouldn’t return to this hotel on that reason alone rooms are okay not cleaned everyday tho pool spacious all inclusive drinks not good but go and make your own mind up is all I can say

I have just returned from a 10 day stay, travelling with my 81 year old mum. On arrival we both received complimentary upgrades to (adjoining) ground floor Superior rooms, based on my enquiry to the hotel about having walk-in showers rather than over the bath showers as this is easier for my mum to access. We arrived very late and were given a picnic box and taken to our rooms via a golf cart. The complex is lovely, with beautiful plants, flowers and landscaping - and is immaculate. The rooms were clean and we had plenty of towels (including beach towels). We had a kettle, but no tea/coffee etc, which was fine as we had brought our own. The rooms were serviced every other day with an option to have the sheets changed or not - whatever is your preference. The food was fine with plenty of options (how many do you need??) - particularly the salad choices. The hot dishes were hot and I think the people who complain that the food was cold were those who wandered up and down, stacking their plates high and then going to get bread/condiments/drinks etc - so of course the food had cooled by the time they sat down to eat! The drinks were also fine - lots of choices included in the AI, but yes, they are the local options, so might not be what people are used to. If there is something you want that isn't included, they will make it for you and charge less than the bars in Mastichari! To clear up some comments in recent reviews:- - Someone mentioned 'feral' cats - ridiculous! Yes, there are several cats around (as there always are in Greece!) but they kept to themselves and didn't bother anyone. I saw one in the restaurant once, and it was shoo'd out by one of the table staff. - Someone also complained about ants and mosquito bites - you are in an environment where there are mosquitos for goodness sake, so take repellent and after-bite and they aren't a problem and ants will only be an issue if there is something for them to eat! - And someone else has said that the staff were not knowledgeable - but I couldn't disagree more. They were always super helpful and gave good local advice. Any problems with trips booked externally are not down to the hotel and should not be included in the reviews of Eurovillage!! We had a great stay and on our last day, we were given a complimentary room due to our late flight home and this is where I have to give a massive shout out to MARIA at Reception who is truly one of the most kind, helpful and genuine people I have ever met! She went out of her way to help us with every query and make our stay as enjoyable as possible - and she remembered our names and rooms numbers throughout our stay, which made us feel really special. We had a couple of very small *******, which are worth mentioning:- - We weren't aware that you have to pay for beach beds/umbrellas until we were on the beach (and it is quite a schlep from there back to reception to get a ticket with arthritic knees!), so perhaps that is something that could be

After arriving late at night we was given our room number but no information about the hotel, so when we woke the next day we didn’t know where the restaurant was or what time breakfast was served, or dinner or tea, it was only once we found the restaurant the times was on the door. Our room was basic but fine but nothing like the room id booked or seen when i booked. The food has been ok with different variety to choose from. But unbeknown to us there is a seperate restaurant we could have booked into that did different theme nights but we only found out by chance on the last night of our holiday and was told we had to book a day in advance which might have been ok if we had known. The pool is like an olympic size so great if you want a good swim, the hotel is on the beach but you have to pay to use sun loungers on beach even though they belong to hotel. You get beach towels provided free of charge. The hotel isnt near any bars and is about 15 min walk along beach to mastichari but not a lot to do there once youve walked it, few eating places but thats it. Its about 1 hour on bus to kos town but you have to walk to mastichari to catch bus which is €3 each way or hotel does a bus to kos town at €10 each return. There is filtered coffee and cakes continuous all day if you fancied it and there is entertainment every night. Overall a good holiday if you want a chill holiday. The massive downside was there was only 1 plug socket in the room apart from the tv socket and that was 7ft up a wall above a coat stand so not accessible and if you wanted to straighten your hair the mirror was on the other wall from the plug socket, so families with kids who have ipads & phones to charge would struggle.

Very good environment and lovely place. Lovely rooms with a beach view. Only one issue lack of wi-fi at our rooms so had to go to the lobby/reception or the pool area for a decent signal. Great entertainment and activities on site and then there is the wonderful Entertainment team. First to be introduced was Maria and Thomas who we joined on many of the activities on the site. By Friday they do an island tour of the island on Quads and buggies to which we participated and enjoyed the experience. Over the weekend was again Activites galore with the team then went out for Scuba diving with a group called Liamis Dive centre then back to the hotel for the last few days of fun and excitement. If they fixed the Wi-fi we would definitely come back as it the people who made the holiday go with a bang. We have made some good friends out here so all worth it. Highly recommended
