After looking at the reviews for this hotel I was really worried but this was our third holiday and it cost just £880.00 all inclusive with good flights and transfers. The hotel was basic, clean and the staff were brilliant. On arrival we were allocated a sub-terrainian floor and I went to reception explaining that I really did not like... More

We stayed here October 2011, it was still hot, it did rain for a three of the 7 days we were there but I still came home with a lovely tan! So the hotel could do with a bit of a revamp but we got the holiday cheap so we weren't expecting much, but really we were pleasently suprised, the... More

I'd checked a few reviews before booking this hotel and they were all fairly reasonable with the general feeling being 'it's good for the price', however after booking i kept finding more and more bad reviews for the hotel and became concerned that we were going to have a terrible holiday. I remember feeling so relieved when we saw the... More

For what we paid, I can't really complain. We were in Room 210 so above the dungeons - in the special instruction box on the easyjet holidays website I put "High floor room and double bed". When we arrived they showed us to 212 which was a bit dingy with two singles, but within 10 mins the receptionist rang the... More

Liked this hotel have stayed in other much larger all inclusive hotels, found this hotel much more friendly, reception people great no problems, rooms could do with a makeover didnt stay in "the dungeons" so can't comment, the main high street was about 25 min walk but lots of tavernas/bars restuarants close by, the road outside the hotel easy to...

We arrived at Despo for two weeks on 13th September 2011. This was our third stay at this hotel and this time we took our two young children so this really makes a mockery of all of the poor reviews that are on here. To start with, I have reviewed this hotel before so you can see from that my... More

We have stayed at the Despo Hotel three times altogether and all in all feel that it is fantastic value for money. The food is lovely and very well presented, the staff are amazing and always happy to help. In my opinion these people who are slating it need to get a life and actually evaluate how much they paid... More
