Ágios Ilías Holidays

My family & I liked everything & have just returned from a weeks holiday which was thoroughly enjoyable. The staff, food & beach were just as we hoped.

We stayed in a private Sandy Villa with its own pool, and it was amazing – our son even learned to swim within hours, and swimming at night was magical for the kids. The villa itself was spotless and spacious, and the housekeeping team and buggy drivers were brilliant. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the reception staff, who were very rude. Sadly, the rest of the resort didn’t live up to the same standard. Part of our villa had a strong sewage smell which took four days to “fix”, and even then the problem never fully went away. The food in the main restaurant was average at best, and the dining experience was stressful, with constant noise and crowds. The drinks were another major disappointment – no branded soft drinks, which feels like such a simple fix. The dining areas, pools (other than the Sandy Villas’ pool), and the beach were all overcrowded, with far too many guests for the facilities available. As for the à la carte restaurants – good luck getting a booking! The Sandy Villas themselves are 5-star quality, but being tied to the sister hotel drags the whole experience down. If food and drinks were available on the villa side, we would return in a heartbeat. Until then, it remains a holiday of two halves – 5-star villa, 2-star resort

Buffet food was the best quality I’ve had - a smaller choice but still plenty to choose from and all delicious. Plenty of salads and they changed daily. Staff were all fantastic and keen to help us. Premium brand drinks and good cocktails. The grounds were lovely although the pool really was the coldest I’ve been in. Even after swimming around for 15 mins it still felt cold - it would not stop me from returning though….

Beutiful hotel and great food but service was a bit clueless in places. Friendly but need better training

Everything was amazing.. Staff are super friendly and very helpful. I would definitely stay and would recommend to my friends and family.
