Elea Beach

Arrived 10th after making it through the dreaded airport friday…super smooth check in at reception and room was great,decent shower and balcony facing entrance gate,which has the sun on it til late 👍🏽 The hotel is spotless and the food in the restaurant is excellent, we were all inclusive,and always ate well breakfast lunch and dinner! The two swimming pools are good also,stick a towel down by 8and you’ll be fine,but there are always beds available just not as close to pools if you go later.The beach is literally on the edge of hotel.All the staff were great from the cleaning ladies to the restaurant staff and the barmen gianni/Alex were great characters.You must try this place you won’t be disappointed! We had a fantastic time and the weather was scorching all day everyday 👌🏼 Elea beach agapi mou! 🇬🇷💙

The entertainment chap Simo did a fantastic job speaking 4 or 5 different languages, being the ice breaker between hotel and guests, dealing with kids, couples, oldies, groups of friends, he kept everything going from morning til night. There was a variety of activities, a particularly popular one was aqua aerobics in the sea every day, loads of people joined in. He was friendly, professional, polite and hard working. Alex was out favourite waiter, he remembered our order, was efficient, friendly and professional. The location is pretty stunning, right on the beach. Greece/islands are more rustic than Spain so yeah there are a few things not as polished as some places but the people, the views of the Albanian mountains, the soft sand (once you get over the 3ft of pebbles) in the sea and the relaxed, safe and friendly vibe make up for wonky steps from the boardwalk to the sand or slightly overgrown grass. A variety of flowers, beautiful trees and shrubs, very greek, a variety of sunbeds, all comfortable. Decent food, plenty for us half board for a week although we did eat out once in Ipsos, next town round, got there via taxi 25€ each way for 7 of us or there is a bus at the end of the road by the bakery.l that goes every 30mins or so. Supermarket out the front of the hotel or the guy in the shop was lovely inside the hotel too. Yes two dogs and a cat around but they keep themselves to themselves. Room was fine, air con worked, tea and coffee didn't get replenished but I read that before, just glad to have the option although didn't use it much. Sea view is worth it completely, stunning views. We didn't venture far, I think there are a few, like 5/6 eateries and a couple of shops and a beach front tiki bar/nightclub but not much else in Dassia so great for a relaxed trip.

The hotel’s beachfront location is excellent, and the staff were polite and helpful. Unfortunately, the property is very outdated, and the hotel did not match the photos shown on the website. Cleanliness was a major issue throughout our stay. On arrival, our room had a strong unpleasant smell coming from the bathroom/toilet, along with dust throughout the room and a dirty floor, making it seem as though it had been unused for a long time. The hotel changed our room, but the smell was still noticeable, although less severe. The second room also had a hole under the bathroom sink, with water leaking from above. The breakfast area had flies throughout, and the common areas were also old and in need of renovation. Overall i would not recommend this hotel to anyone due to poor maintenance, lack of cleanliness, and the fact that the hotel did not live up to its online presentation.
