Anavadia Hotel

Myself and my better half stayed here for 10 days in the summer. I understand the hotel has recently changed management about a year ago so i believe they are still getting to grips with correcting some of the facilities, for example we had to go to reception for lack of hot water the first time we used the shower. This was no issue for the staff here to correct, it was dealt with instantly. If you are somebody who will throw a fit over this and cant just go ask for help, maybe this isnt for you. This is the only negative comment i will make about this hotel and it is a miniscule issue. The staff would turn a 2* trip into a 5* trip anywhere. They have looked after me and my better half here so well, i feel like i have been treated like family. I cannot fault the service with a smile here. From the moment you arrive the receptionists are so warm and friendly, which is lovely after after all the stress of travel. If i have any questions about anything they will do whatever they can to assist, even one morning i was desperate for a cigarette and the shop was shut, the lovely young lady on reception gave me some of hers which she didnt have to do. She helped us plan trips and rent a car, but more than that she was always joking and laughing with us. The gentleman who takes over from her is exactly the same, so friendly and willing to sort any issues that you may have immediately. The bar staff, which there are only two of, one in the evening and one in the day, will still provide a great service even though a lot of people who go to get drinks are rude and ignorant. They have to pour drinks, wash glasses, and go collect the rubbish and clean the areas all by themselves and you still do not have to wait a long time for a drink. After leaving here i would call them my friends they go the extra mile to see you walk back from the bar with a smile. Tom and Angelo are fantastic and very hard workers. The restaurant manager George went so far as to arrange champagne and a cake for me when he found out it was my birthday, and spoke to my girlfriend to ask if i prefer it sent to the room or if i want to do it at the bar so if i was embarrassed easily i wouldnt have to do it in front of everyone. There is a choice of pools so you dont have any issue cooling down as the weather is incredible here. The food is sometimes what you would expect from an all inclusive buffet, which i usually dread. I will say there have been times where i have eaten dishes i would say are better than restaurant food at home. You wont always like everything but there is plenty of choice and i have never struggled to have a meal. Credit to all staff here, the cleaners, the chefs and the point of contact staff. They all do absolutely everything possible to make your trip a lovely trip. I would definitely recommend it to a friend, i will remember these people forever and i hope to return to spend time with them again. I feel like they have taken me on as family.

Myself and my partner stayed here for 5 days in July 2026. Initially our impression of this hotel was a positive one, with food being kept for us as we arrived close to midnight.

After our food we were then directed to our room. At first we were baffled by the lengthy instructions to get to our room. We then realised that we had been given a room at the other end of the property, quite far away from the main building and pool facilities. Once in our room we realised immediately that it was quite dated, this coupled with being very far away began a list of problems with the room. The Wi-Fi did not reach our room at all which meant we relied on our patchy mobile data connection for most of the duration of the stay. Additionally we then realised a whole host of issues with our bathroom. The shower did not drain properly at first and we had to ask for it to be cleaned. The shower itself was not mounted to the wall correctly and shook quite a bit when touched. The shower when on sprayed out of the shower tray which meant that the entire bathroom was flooded each time we took a shower. These showers were also freezing and we had no hot water for our showers the entire time we stayed. The toilet flush was basically falling out of the toilet and we had to be extremely careful when using this. Outside on the balcony the balcony glass was disgusting and looked like it had never been cleaned. It was never cleaned throughout the duration of our stay. It was such an eye sore. The bedroom is in need of a major upgrade, we booked through love holidays and the images that they use verses the room we had are nothing alike. While the pool and sunbeds where nice, they could use a facelift. The guttering around the pool is different shades of white from where temporary fixes and replacements have been made. The showers and toilets at the pool are horrendous. In the women’s one of the toilets does not work and the other is in complete darkness even with all lights turned on. There is no privacy for the shower area at all. In the men’s bathroom there was no doors on the toilet cubicals and the shower stall. There was no light in the shower and the bathroom seemed to flood regularly. The lack of light in toilets seems to be common theme with a similar issue appearing in the toilets just off of reception. Our bathroom door also fell victim to what seems to be a quick fix repair which seems to be another theme throughout the hotel. The staff are lovely here and evidentially are doing the best with what they can. The food was nice but options limited. The bar at the pool was operated by one man our whole stay who was lovely. However if he left for any reason there was nobody else that could man the bar, this meant that at times there was no way to get a drink of water much less anything else which was less than ideal in 35 degree heat. All in all we where so disappointed in our stay and would advise to book elsewhere.
