Akti Palace Hotel

We have just spent the nicest week at Akti Palace. The hotel was gorgeous, everyday there was a wide range of food choice and the staff were incredible! Nikolaos who works in the main bar was superb - so friendly, our next round was always already on the way to us before we even asked and the cocktails were lovely! George (who worked the overnight shift) was the friendliest person ever, especially when we arrived after a late flight, nothing was too much trouble. The nicest staff who couldn’t do enough for you, would 100% recommend this hotel!

We booked an economy room at the akti palace which was well equipped. They did upgrade our room to the family suite area which for us as a couple, was a downgrade as we were woken up early most mornings by screaming children and by the building work going on at the site opposite. The hotel facilities were good, and we really enjoyed the food and drinks. Plenty of sunbeds around the pool areas and the hotel was very clean. A lot of the public toilet areas didn’t have working locks, so this could be something that the hotel could look into. The entertainment was great and we enjoyed our stay. The hotel is a 10 minute taxi or bus ride to Rhodes town.

Lovely hotel rooms were spacious, shared pool room (1611). The bathroom shower rather odd but done what it had to do. Mini bar was stocked every morning, 9am & rooms cleaned before 12. The pool area was great. I never had any issues getting a sun bed with parasoles & didn't ever witness sun bed wars. Also, could you pick up a pool towel from the guy at the hut between the pool & the beach. The beach itself was lovely a bit rocky getting into the water but always managed with the sand bags in place & the water was crystal clear & could see all the fish beneath you. Never had any issues with beds on the beach either. Also lots of water sports are available at a charge. The food was plentiful & I never felt it was repetitive, always something for everyone. Vegetarian section fish section meats chips pizza pastas. I really enjoyed their moussaka, pizza & freshly made ommlate fried eggs pancakes for breakfast & never a big queue either. The staff in the restaurant were always at hand to pour your fresh water tea coffee & juice wine beer in the evening, always clearing tables the are all so friendly & work very hard We also booked the Asian night that was lovely & only about 15 of us in the restaurant. The entertainment in the evening wasn't my cup of tea. I saw a dance show & most nights it was singers but didn't stop me sitting & enjoying a few drinks while it was on the bar was always full when entertainment was on but always a seat & table available. Would I return? YES

We had the most incredible time at Akti Palace. The hotel is amazing and has everything you could want, whilst being situated in an incredibly beautiful landscape. What really made this holiday so special were the incredible staff at the hotel. The stand outs for us were Alexandros, Christos, Mateo and Alexia. Not only were they amazing at their job, we got to know them so well and had so many great chats with them. I hope to keep in touch for many years to come. They are an absolute credit to the hotel and make the experience truly 5 star. The rooms are lovely and the way the hotel is laid out makes it feel like a little village/town. With the ultra all inclusive package we also had access to the neighbouring Akti Beach Hotel, so were spoilt for choice. Akti Palace also provide a free shuttle bus into Kardamena, which is lovely to walk around and there are also lovely day trips you can get from there. As we visited end of season, there were a few things around the hotel that may have needed little touch ups, but we completely expect that. The food at the hotel was great and the three tasting menu options were brilliant too. There are lots of drink options and there is also food available all hours of the day. We would 100% visit this fantastic hotel again after an amazing holiday this year.

After only booking this hotel a few weeks ago we had a good holiday. Plus points we had a shared pool and mostly had it to ourselves, which was very much needed as unfortunately there was sunbed wars and sunbeds all gone by 9.30. We would spend the morning at the beach and go to our pool for the afternoon. Selfish people leaving sunbeds on the beach unoccupied for hours and hours! The staff are very friendly and work so hard. Vasilou, George, Georgia, Matheous and the very tall guy didn't get his name in the restaurants. Also Melina at the pool bar as unfortunately in the evenings she was the only waitress and one guy serving the drinks. So people queue at the bar so service is slow. Did get Gordons Gin when asked for it. Our room was lovely and modern and our cleaner kept it clean. The only annoying thing is the shower is terrible as it's over the bath and the shower screen doesn't cover enough of the bath so soaks the floor! The food is lovely and fresh and the Greek night was good. We did eat one evening in the hotel next door but too chaotic and very busy we liked our quiet restaurant. We used the free pedalo for 20mins and my son and husband hired paddleboards at the watersports centre on the beach which they loved. S

Me and my family stayed for 10 nights in July. Tax was €40 for that duration. I emailed the hotel before arriving requesting a quiet room and one on the upper floor and that's exactly what we had, lovely view across to the sea in the distance. We had a lovely stay, close to the beach, free sunbeds, free towels, and when the sea is calm, you also have free access to the kayaks and peddle boats, all other water sports are reasonably priced. The food was good, lots of different choice, and of course Akti Palace guests can also use Atki Beach facilities, where there is even more choice of food, although it's much more chaotic compared to Akti Palace! Akti Beach has pool tables, and a small games room with table tennis, pool table, air hockey, and a few other things. Our room was cleaned everyday, the lady who cleaned our room was lovely, always smiling and really hard working. It was a pleasure to meet all the staff in the hotel, the receptionists, our cleaner, the staff in the restaurant, the bar staff at the main bar, the day staff at the pool bar, all so hardworking and always smiling. Thank you all for making our holiday so enjoyable. A few people have commented that this is not a 5* hotel, but truthfully we were happy with everything that was included in the price, on top of what I mentioned already, there's also a free shuttle bus to Kardemena throughout the day and evening, access to all the facilities in 2 hotels, free mini bar topped up everyday, free courtesy room for an hour on departure day, all the themed restaurants you can book. We really enjoyed our holiday and hope to return again in the future.

The Akti spa was amazing. The staff are friendly and courteous. The full body massage was a real treat on my holiday. The therapy rooms are beautiful with lots of trea**ent options. Big thank you to SEVI for a wonderful warm experience.. you were polite and patient with me and the massage was exactly what I needed.

Hotel was very nice, modern, same as the room, perfectly clean, everyday we felt as we just arrived. Also very clean were all facilities of the hotel, main restaurant, bar, pool bar, beach. Garden was beautifully cared for. Food was an excellent, many variations to choose from every day from the breakfast to the dinner. I want personally to thank to the waitress Alla, bartender Fabio , waitress Marsida. I want to pick every employee up for their professional attitude towards us in any case we needed or asked for something extra. We had the only and the worst problem - on the beach and near the pool. We had every day problem to get the sunbeds. I would like to appel to the hotel manager or director to solve this issue quickly because we were not the only couple who had this problem.

Booked a last minute holiday for myself and partner to get away for a week: reasonable deal with the all inclusive. Hotel was lovely. When we arrived, we were supposed to have a sea view; I wouldn’t class it as a sea view as you could only see it slightly from side so maybe needs advertising as mountain/side sea view to avoid dissapoin**ent. Bed extremely comfy and very good air conditioning. Maids were thorough and room was spacious. Pool area was okay, although we tended to stay on beach as was quieter and more relaxing. Staff were so friendly and couldn’t do enough for you. Drinks were great but food very basic. We only used the hotel for drinks as we like to venture out in evenings for proper Greek cuisine. Asian restaurant was ok. Minibar was restocked every time we used anything. Special thanks to the lovely waitress named Alexia who was always so friendly and attentive in the evenings and you could tell she loved her job. Overall a lovely hotel but probably wouldn’t stay again due to food not being great and very repetitive.
