Our stay at the Arminda Hotel was superb. Its situated in a quiet area, with some neighbouring hotels. The hotel has shared beach access via a second resort, which is a sandy beach. Touristy spots are a brisk walk away, around 20 minutes.
The hotel itself was comfortable, in all ways. The room was well equipped to our family of four, with a air conditioning unit per room, and a fridge, kettle, and massive wardrobes. The hotel has a well thought out relaxation pool, allowing a quiet area to relax.
Additionally, the hotel staff always made us feel welcome - especially the receptionists, restaurant attendants, housekeepers and the very nice lade at the Greek corner. Our whole family was delighted with the homemade ice tea and coffee. We were blown away by their kindness.
The food was always delicious thanks to the hard work of the chefs, and the selection was vast - so everyone could enjoy something they truly loved. Themed nights happened 4 times a night, with cuisines like Greek, Italian and TexMex. The all inclusive was always open throughout the day, with snack bars, waffle/ ice cream stands and drink bars open. Their food was also great, and the staff was very kind too.
The animation team was often hosting some sort of event, to help people ease in the atmosphere. Their kindness was even felt by us, who didn't take part much. Also, the fitness room (bookable for free) was great, with working equipment and effective air conditioning. The teen's club was great for us too, with a modern interior.
Housekeeping was thorough, and gave us a nice feeling with their fun towel designs. Their work was always brilliant and we couldn't be more thankful.
Additionally, the spa and massage service was a great use to us. Rafaella and colleagues were very nice, and the massages were extremely relaxing and useful.
Many thanks to the staff at Arminda for accommodating us so well, and we hope to return soon!
We had the most amazing week at the Arminda Hotel and Spa. Hotel is immaculately clean with the most friendly staff giving it a real family feel. Our teenagers - 16 and 13 - had the best time taking part in volleyball, football, water polo, darts, paddel, basketball and shuffleboard - and these were only some of the activities on offer. Huge thanks to the amazing Alessio and Lenny for leading the activities with such enthusiasm and encouraging them to take part. Staff across the site friendly and helpful. Food and drink both excellent and everything ran efficiently - always tables available in the restaurant/ bars and always sunbeds available. Room overlooking the pool was beautiful and cleaned daily. Can’t find anything to fault - would highly recommend and hope to return .
