Myself and partner stayed here in June 2011, the hotel had recently been refurbished and only open for a month or so. On arrival we were blown away, the place looks amazing! Once off the coach and into the reception the staff were very helpful and organised. We checked in and got our keycards, our luggage was taken up to... More

My husband and I stayed at The Island Hotel early October, all in all we had a very good holiday. The hotel is really beautiful very modern and clean, we had no problem getting a sun bed and both pool areas were lovely and quiet and relaxing. Our room was near the smaller pool and was great except for a... More

Stayed at this hotel during the last week in October. Gouves itself isn't what could be described as sophisticated. It's basically a few cafe / bars stuck in the middle of nowhere. The last place I would want to take a vacation. What made it worse was that over half of the bars & shops were closed or in the... More

The place where the hotel was situated wasn't up to much, but The Island made up for it. Super complex, very well laid out, 2 lovely swimming pools and plenty of sun beds. The staff couldn't do enough for you and the buffet style half board was excellent, plenty of choice and variety. Being a vegetarian wasn't a problem either.... More

We wanted a quiet resort for a restful week and that's exactly what we got. We have travelled widely over the years and do not generally return to the same place twice but we would definitely come back to this hotel. The bed was the most comfortable hotel bed I have ever slept in. We found the buffet food very... More

Hotel fab, food great, staff brilliant, hotel accommodation clean and tidy. Private pool room a must but not great that people did not respect privacy as some hotel guests walked onto our garden area (I don't think they realised). Hotel staff helped my partner arrange a fantastc suprise proposal nothing was too much trouble and I was blown away. If... More

The hotel is as nice and well appointed as the majority of reviews indicate. We were particularly impressed with the staff who go out of their way to assist. We stayed for 5 nights on a half board basis with two of our friends from 16 Ocober 2011. The touches we were pleasantly surprised with, included the provision of a... More
