Aquis Agios Gordios Hotel
"Superb location, total relaxation but a few dissapointments!!"


Ok, the positives.... Aquis Agios Gordios hotel is in an absolutely beautiful location. The sea views are to die for and it is one of the most tranquil holidays we have ever had. Total relaxation! Agios Gordios is a quiet little village with some lovely beach front Tavernas and Bars. If you are looking for a wild time this is definately not the resort for you. However, if you are looking for a peaceful and relaxing experience then this will definately deliver.

Aquis Agios Gordios hotel is a very decent 4* standard however not the 5* they have awarded themselves! The decor throughout is light and airy and of a generally good standard, the public areas are very good, in particular the main restaurant and pool area. There is also a very nice roof top bar which offers great views of the sunsets (which are spectacular) on an evening. The cleanliness of the hotel was excellent, the cleaning staff were great and much more friendly than the reception staff!! The food in the all inclusive buffet is good and they try their best to vary it by having themed evenings such as seafood, greek etc. The drinks are international brands, Coke, Sprite etc as well as international brand spirits such as Smirnoff.

However there were a couple of drawbacks. Our first dissapointment was that we didn't receive our A La Carte meal as promised in the all inclusive package. We were only staying for one week and when we tried to book our meal, four days in advance, we were told there was no availability in the restaraunt until after the end of our stay. The receptionist offered no apology or alternative (despite there being a second a la carte restaurant which never seemed to be busy!). We heard other guests complaining about the same issue. Secondly, on arrival we were given an information leaflet that stated that for days away from the hotel they would provide a packed lunch. When we asked for this we were told "the hotel no longer does this", despite there being booking forms for packed lunches visible on the reception desk!!! Bizarre! Again the receptionist offered no apology for the misleading information.

We stayed in a sea view room which had twin beds and did have a lovely sea view which was perhaps spoilt a little by also overlooking the rather unsighly roof top of the lower accomodation block. However, the public areas are so good you don't really find yourself spending a great deal of time in the room anyway.

I had read reviews talking about the amount of seaweed on the beach and thought this was a little petty, however we are not just talking about a small amount of seaweed. This is approx 2 foot deep in places and renders the beach in front of the hotel completly impassable! Not such a huge problem as you can get onto the beach a little further along, just means you have to walk a little further for drinks! In fairness the hotel have been making efforts to deal with the seaweed problem by installing nets etc but it remains a problem for now. Access back up from the beach is very steep and not suitable for anyone with mobility problems. in fact the whole resort is very hilly.

To sum up, we had a great holiday in a fantastic location and really enjoyed our stay here but if you are intending to book ensure you book your a la carte meal as soon as possible. Don't expect 5* luxury and if you have a late flight on departure be aware that the "courtesy room" they offer for you to get a shower before your flight is actually the Spa changing room which has a shower but no towels or plug sockets.
