NIKO Seaside Resort MGallery

Whilst the hotel is nice this is not a 5 star hotel despite the rating. I would rate as 3 star. There are nowhere near enough sunbeds and those on level 5 were all taken with towels ( not people) by 8am despite the pool not officially opening till 10am. They say towels will be removed after 30 minutes but there was no staff members poolside to do this. The sunbeds on level 9 were all gone by 9am ish but the pool there is only really to dip your feet in as it’s not deep. The plunge pool on the balcony is cold so other than dipping feet in we didn’t use it. There was no storage in the bathroom for toiletries - a simple shelf under the sink would have been good. No room for suitcases either. Can’t fault the staff in the restaurant as they were all very attentive and there was plenty of choice for breakfast and evening meal. The location is good. We had a sea view room with balcony on level 3. The walk into the main shops was only 10 minutes and there is a small supermarket a couple of minutes from the hotel.

Very good experience here. Our main positives are the pool area which is phenomenal, we were able to get a bed every day so long as you arrive before 10am. Management did remove towels of people who left them on the beds first thing which we appreciated. Food was phenomenal with a good selection each night (we were half board). Don’t be expect a buffet or chips, we had things such as teriyaki tuna on a bed of vegetables or risotto served across the week. Breakfast was a buffet with a good selection. Staff were fantastic during our stay and they genuinely want you to have a fantastic time. Location is great, take a 5 min walk down into the town and you’ll find a lot of bars and other things to do in the evening. Rooms are clean and tidy and well equipped. A note of caution that the showers are open fronted with no screen so there is no privacy in the room when showering. Showers also have a full range of clarins toiletries which was a nice surprise and they smelt amazing. Our only gripes were that there were a few children in the hotel during our stay with their parents, they were in mid teens and it is supposed to be adults only. They must have been bored as it’s certainly not for kids. We also found that cleaners didn’t reach our room most days before 4pm which was annoying.
