Why HELIOS HOTEL 3*?

Location

Guests appreciated the hotel's proximity to popular landmarks and the convenience of a free shuttle service to the beach. The private beach area was a highlight, offering ample sunbeds and a clean environment. Many guests enjoyed the short walk to the beach, which took about 10 to 15 minutes.

Staff

The staff at Helios Hotel were frequently praised for their friendliness and attentiveness. Guests noted that the staff went out of their way to ensure a pleasant stay, often checking in to see if more drinks were needed. One guest mentioned, "The staff are very attentive and friendly, they don't seem to be able to do enough for us."

Facilities

The hotel offers a range of facilities that guests found enjoyable, including a pool, spa, and a beach restaurant. The pool area, although small, was never crowded, and the spa services received favorable reviews. The availability of a self-serve fruit juice machine by the pool was a nice touch for many.

Common criticisms

Food And Drink

Some guests were disappointed with the food quality, describing it as lacking variety and taste. One review mentioned that the all-inclusive package felt like a scam due to the poor food and extra charges for basic items. "The food was disastrous – about 80% cheap salads, no quality dishes, no taste, and no variety," a guest complained.

Value For Money

Several guests felt that the hotel did not offer good value for money, especially considering the additional charges for items typically included in an all-inclusive package. One guest noted, "You paid for an all-inclusive package that included almost nothing."

Room Quality

While some guests found the rooms spacious and comfortable, others felt they were basic and in need of updates. The air conditioning was appreciated, but the overall room quality did not meet everyone's expectations.
