Agios Ioannis Holidays from NZ$1,191

Good value for money, plenty of food and drink options to choose from

Beautiful surroundings but in the middle of nowhere

The food was delicious and the choice was extensive. The staff were efficient, professional and friendly. A special mention to Rositea who is the lovely waitress in the buffet area and looked after us very well. We enjoyed most of the entertainment and our Grandchildren loved the kids club. We stayed in a two room suite overlooking the main pool area. First impressions were of a stylish and spacious accommodation. The beds were very comfortable, but there was no comfortable additional seating. The twin bedroom had literally two beds, a small table and TV, no drawers or chairs or anywhere to put things. There were 3 wardrobes (containing only 12 coat hangers in total) and 2 small drawers in the rest of the suite. On the surface everything looked clean but there were dust balls in the corners and dusty sock and slippers from past occupants under the bed. We were there during the Easter school holidays which was very busy and noisy. Considering the number of rooms the public spaces are quite compact, the sun loungers around the pool are very close together. The quiet pool and adult pool areas are small. Compared to the hotels either side which have nice open garden areas and a chance to sit with a view of the sea and be quiet, the Atlantica Mare hotel is not somewhere to go if you like a peaceful holiday. We wouldn't go again on our own, but our Grandchildren loved it.

A lot of the staff were lovely and friendly, particularly 2 ladies who would serve us at the patio bar. The hotel has both beach and pool options, breakfast was great with lots of choice

We had a great time. Very good food, lots of things for kids to do. Good atmosphere. I recommend
