My wife booked this place way back in April, and we've been carefully monitoring the reviews on all the feedback sites ever since, especially TripAdvisor. Could it really be as good as almost everyone was saying? The answer is an unequivocal 'yes'! If anything, our expectations were actually exceeded. Aquis Agios Gordios hotel is in a beautiful if slightly remote setting, is very tastefully decorated (at what I'd imagine was considerable expense), was always scrupulously clean throughout our stay, and is staffed by cheerful employees (the reception girls especially) who are apparently happy in their work and keen to make your stay comfortable and memorable

The restaurant food is good, very good in parts. All all-inclusive guests will receive an invite for one evening to the a la carte 'Olive Tree' restaurant adjacent to the pool bar, and without wishing to be unduly critical, our meal here was fairly poor, and represented our least satisfactory dining experience of the week! We, like several others who have also posted on this site, received an upgrade upon arrival to one of the self-contained apartments located further up the hill from the main hotel, and although this guarantees a literal 'uphill struggle' at least twice a day, the accommodation is again to a good standard, (nice big 'superking' bed) although the bathroom design is flawed - it's basically too small, and trying to be all things to all men by providing bath and shower, the shower being attached to the bath taps. You can't knock them for trying to cover all the bases, but the result is a too-small bath and a shower head not sufficiently far up the wall for the taller chap or lass. The smallness of the bathroom also meant that the toilet roll dispenser was located on the opposite wall from the toilet itsel

The bars and public areas are all as fairly described by all other respondents on here, and although there is the ubiquitous 'Animation' team in residence, they're pretty low key here - if you want organised games, they're there, but it's up to you to go and find them, which I think is the way most would prefer it. Also, for the most part the piped music played in all the bars caters to a reasonably discerning european palate, and is thus mercifully light on Zorba-esque bouzouki! The beach is lovely - the water is clear, so clear that fish can be seen swimming around your feet, and it's possible to walk to the village of Agios Gordios along the pleasingly ramshackle boardwalk. I need to correct one misleading statement posted by a recent correspondent - 7 Euros buys you 2 sun loungers for the day, not 1. I think that is perfectly reasonable.

Wasps! Midges! lots of both I'm afraid, and although both are a nuisance, the former are relatively benign and will leave you unstung if you refrain from hysterical arm-flapping and newspaper-thrashing, and the latter are overcome by the usual sprays and unguents. On no account leave any window open at night - you'll be eaten alive! Although the weather wasn't especially kind to us, this was still a fantastic break, truly relaxing. My wife and I would definitely go back, and really only Mr & Mrs Churlish from Much Churlish-in the-Marsh could find any serious fault with this place. Highly recommended.
