White Olive Elite Laganas

HOTEL The hotel is located in a quieter part of the very busy town of Laganas. The lobby, restaurant, pool, everything is modern and well-maintained. There are 3 pools, the first, by the bar, is suitable for performance swimming and has a children's pool 40 cm deep on its edge. The second pool is more for some group sports and games, and there is also a small whirlpool. The third pool is located directly next to the restaurant, and it also has a children's pool (depth 60 cm). In my opinion, this is where a designer or architect really made his mark. The water in the pools was 24-30°C, depending on the time of day, and was perfectly clear. The water does not smell of chlorine. All pools are surrounded by sunbeds and umbrellas. What surprised us was that there are several inflatable pool loungers, balls, hoops, and other things available. We really didn't understand why the pool attendant kicked us out of the restaurant pool with a baby who was equipped with swimming and safety gear and was accompanied and supervised by three adults. This was not explained to us. Not only in the hotel, but also on the entire island and basically throughout Greece, there are cats. These are part of this country, the Greeks love them, and if you don't, don't go to Greece. I have seen other guests kicking cats, for example. There are two cats living by the hotel and often visitig it, but they are not disturbing guests, if they don't want to. STAFF Complete satisfaction - everyone, except for the above-mentioned one-off exception, is absolutely helpful, willing, and kind, most of them speak good English. We were here with a two-year-old child, which is not always pleasant for everyone, but the staff was excellent and even made jokes with him. In particular, Bruna, Criss, Costas, Joanna, and Romeo are professional employees, overflowing with genuine kindness, helpfulness. ROOM Our room (superior triple) was modernly equipped, with a balcony and a large bathroom, equipped with a safe, electric kettle, a drip coffee maker, a refrigerator, tea, coffee, and utensils. We received a very pleasant fruit basket and sparkling wine as a welcome gift. Although we read in reviews that the waste smells, this was not the case in our room. However, it is true that the waste drains slowly - but this is caused by the guests themselves - they come from the beach all covered in sand and go to shower in the room instead of in the designated areas... The room is simply great, the "worst" thing that was in the room was a slightly worn-out handle in the bathroom, but I'm more writing this as a kind of "joke". The room is cleaned and swept every day, and the bed linen and towels are changed every day. FOOD The food evaluation is very subjective, but I will try to provide an objective assessment. Many reviews mention that breakfast is always the same - that is true, but there is everything you need for breakfast and there is no need to change or add anything. There is a selection of fru

Firstly if you book a twin expect to get a king bed as it’s deemed acceptable to sleep with your children here. Want a towel for the pool or beach sure that’s 10 euro each deposit but that’s got to be cash “In this day and age” and finally “so far” we have just arrived. Want WiFi in your room ? That’s an additional charge.. 5 star hotel ??? NO

Have just returned from a 10 night stay at this hotel. The hotel was great nicely decorated and clean, my room was ground floor with a veranda outside for table and chairs and was always cleaned daily by a lovely lady. I found the food in the restaurant to be tasty and varied and could always find something to eat and also try new dishes. The staff were all efficient, friendly and helpful nothing appeared to be too much trouble. 3 pools so always plenty of sunbeds and areas to sit. Near the ***** for a lively night but not near enough for noise, really close to the beach, local shops, restaurants and a local bus stop for travelling further afield. As I am a solo female traveller I also appreciated the safety and security of the room I was in which had 2 sets of lockable doors to the veranda. Safety deposit box free in the room and a kettle and fridge. All in all I would like to thank everyone at the hotel for a great stay, hopefully I will be able to return. PS there is a small kitten which lives behind the hotel near some bins,I fed it for 10 days and would appreciate anybody else to do the same I named her Luna, l attach a photo Thanks in advance x

An amazing holiday on one of the most beautiful islands of Greece. Great hotel with top services, very good organization, delicious food and helpful staff. We were very satisfied, our expectations were fulfilled and we will definitely come back one day! 🤩

I recommend this hotel. Every place of the hotel was clean. The food was fresh and various everyday. The staff was amazing especially with our kids. We had a great time and I think that the hotel is suitable for families with children. Thank you for everything!

We are very happy with our stay at the hotel. Everybody was very kind with us. Our room was clean everyday. The pools, restaurant and bars were high quality. The manager and the staff at the restaurant were simply the best. Always fresh and delicious food and drinks! We recommend it!!

The food is always warm never hot. The music that is played from 9.00am to 11.00pm is awful, it drove out of the hotel. It was too loud and it's the same awful plinky plonky music on a continuous loop. It nearly drove me mad, i asked many times for it to be turned off and i was ignored. The hotel is spotless and the staff are friendly all except when you ask about the music. The toilets are in the basement and when you come in from blazing sun you have to go down concrete stairs with no handrail, quite dangerous.
