Aiora Resort

Funny to see that they changed their hotel name and removed all of the reviews. Was said that hotel has gone through a MAJOR reservation but pictures are all the same. Just do not book this hotel. You will be sent to a different hotel for the first or even several days definitely.

NOT RECOMENDING. In September, we (a family of three) and a father-in-law booked rooms at the hotel Elia, now rebranded as Aiora Resort. Upon arrival, we were told a double superior room was unavailable due to issues with other guests, so we were asked to stay all together in a family superior room for one night, which was not a big deal as we were all family members. The room, however, was disappointing: it was not fully renovated, with outdated features like a wooden bathroom door, small shower, shower head at height of belly button, dirty walls. We asked our agent to contact hotel in order not to waste more vacation time with discussions. Hotel manager claimed we got a better room as compensation, despite the description stating all family superior rooms should be renovated. Obviously manager was lying. Next morning we were given the rooms we initially booked the but no compensation was offered. The hotel provided a variety of meals, but many dishes were repeated daily. Cocktails at the main pool bar were wine-based and not very appealing, and the secondary pool bar opened only after working hours of pool area. The pool area with slides was enjoyable, but ice cream and food were charged extra. All-inclusive guests could only access basic drinks like soda and coffee for free. Overall, the hotel is considered an economy option, lacking in the quality expected of a 4-star establishment. We hope that a change in ownership and management will lead to improvements. I have uploaded pictures from our "family superior" room that we were provided for the first night. According to the manager this was even better room than we actually booked. The last 2 pictures are from the real family superior room that we got the next day. Pictures speak for themselves.

As always a fantastic experience at this hotel. Staff amazing and feel like family. Rooms of high standards. The gardens well kept and the new pool area so much improved with comfy sun beds Food in the restaurant a bit mixed but never left hungry and is very similar to the more expensive hotels. Staff work so hard to keep it all clean and tables wiped and all go out of their way to greet you and make sure you have everything you need. Undergoing even more renovations for the 2025 season so going to be a good choice. Bit saddened after 10 years that they will change the name but from the pictures it will look amazing. Not much entertainment but make your own Although Luca was fantastic, hope he’s back 2025. Food in beer and burgers was the best burger I have tasted and such good value for money staff are so nice and attentive and ready for a chat.

If you want your vacation to start well and wish to avoid surprises, please do not choose this hotel. We were told at 11:00 p.m., after a full day of travel, that the hotel was fully booked and we had to spend two nights temporarily in another hotel. This was an unpleasant surprise. We were tired and wanted to stay in the hotel we had chosen! They called a taxi for us, which was paid randomly in cash from some box. The taxi driver was frightening, driving recklessly, it was dark, and the music was very loud. We were dropped off somewhere in front of a hotel, where we spent a long time trying to find the reception desk. A man who didn’t speak English greeted us at the desk. That’s fine, but the hotel we were taken to was terrible and did not meet 4-star criteria, more like 1 or 2 stars. On the second night, we negotiated a better hotel with our travel organizer. Ellia Hotel was okay once we finally arrived. The location is good – there are shops, a couple of restaurants, and the beach is within walking distance. The hotel has nice, pleasant pools and sun loungers. The food selection was good, with desserts always available, and there were plenty of drinks and food. There was no water in the room, but you could fill up in the dining area. We had a room with a beautiful view, the furthest and highest in the complex. However, the cleaning service was very poor. Sometimes, we couldn’t even tell if the cleaner had been there. The sheets were not changed even once during the week, and the towels weren’t changed either. The floor was sandy and dirty. At one point, one of the toilet paper rolls in the bathroom was taken away, and it was never replaced. Due to the chaos of the first nights, we were promised a late check-out, but on the last day, the cleaner was already knocking at our door at 10 a.m. and scolded us, and then the receptionist came, also confused as to why we hadn’t left the room yet. This had to be dealt with again. In summary – the hotel is okay, and I would definitely rate it 4 stars when considering the room, location, food, and entertainment. But because of the unpleasant start and the attitude from the service staff, it doesn’t deserve good feedback from me, and I do not recommend staying here. This happened to every guest. According to the locals, this is their scheme to make extra money.

Right from the start this was not the greatest holiday myself and my wife have had. We arrived early hours on a Monday morning to be told that there was no accommodation for us and we had to go to an alternate resort for the night. This is the norm for the resort as we heard many couples told the same thing over the week we were there so it’s not a one off and not all the alternative are close at hand one couple said it was 20mins by taxi so very poor by the hotel. We were given stale cheese sandwiches and an apple to soften the blow. The alternative was very poor and luckily it was close by and o my for one night. We had been told to come back at midday but we came earlier and eventually our room was ready at 11am just the day late then, on entering the room we were in a family room not what we booked but allegedly a better room than the one we expected. Once we got over this we did have a nice stay, food for what we payed for our week was ok nothing exciting but ok. If you are here a fortnight might get pretty tedious as a lot of the same dishes appear. The pool area is great the pool bar and evening bar are very poor beer wine or some really cheap sweet cocktails which were poured in a cup no shaking going on here. We did d eat out a few times and drank out just to get something a little more exciting. Overall an ok stay staff were excellent nice and helpful so all was not a loss

Lots of unhappy people here at the moment, us included. We arrived at midnight to be told there was no room for us. We were taken to a neighbouring hotel which is very unpleasant !!! When we asked for water we were told to go and buy some. We came back the next day to be told there's still no room and we have to spend another night at the other hotel. The staff member just kept saying "what is your problem you have bed". Today we have discovered lots of people are being sent to other hotels, some people have been lucky enough to get 5* unlike us in our 2* hell hole. As for the all inclusive it is very poor. Hygiene is not high up the list here with flies crawling all over the food. No attempt to cover anything 🤮 The pool area is okay. I believe the rooms are alright but I can't comment as I DONT HAVE ONE! So if you like being shipped off to another hotel, rude staff and fly poop on your food this is the perfect hotel.
