I stayed at the Pefki Islands Resort for one week at the start of June 2016. I had great expectations of the place based on the reviews but was slightly disappointed overall.

Given the amount that we paid we were very disappointed with how basic the rooms were. The bed, although large, was very uncomfortable and the pillows were a disgrace. They were so lumpy it felt like the actual pillow had broken into several pieces. I didn't manage to get a decent nights sleep the whole time I was there. Bathroom, bedroom & kitchenette are in desperate need of modernisation. The room itself was clean - maids come in every day except Sunday. You have to pay extra for the air con (65 euro per week) and the safe was (45 euro if I remember correctly) which I thought was very expensive! We stay in room 133 which is an underground room. Our 'balcony' can be overseen by people looking down when they pass on the way to supermarket/each etc. This meant that we had to keep our curtains closed the whole time should we have needed any privacy.

The pool area was nice with plenty of sun loungers available no matter what time you surfaced in the morning. The pool are was also nice and clean and the food at the pool bar was great value for money.

There is a supermarket on site with lots of food and drink options if you wanted to stock up your fridge and eat in. I did find it a little expensive though.

There is 'free wifi' at the only place I could actually pick it up was in the reception and the pool area.

On a plus side the resort is a stones throw from the beach and aprox 10-15 minute walk from the main 'strip' where there are lots of nice restaurants and bars.

We stayed at Pefki Islands for a week at the beginning of June. Our room was very clean, lovely comfy king size bed. It was our 2nd visit to Pefkos having stayed at Lindia Thalassa last year. I would recommend both hotels. Perfect for a relaxing holiday, and so easy to walk into Pefkos where there are plenty of good quality restaurants and bars to choose from.

No need to repeat what has already been said about this hotel. It is very good.

The hotel is one of three on the complex, the others being Island Blue and Lindia Thalassa. The residents can use all of the facilities across the complex. Lindia Thalassa has the best pool for children, as it is shallower and there is a child's play area along side the pool. This is also where the kids club is run from there. Saying that all of the pools are great for kids.

All of the pools have access to a bar. Of the five pools three have a swim up facility.

Some useful info:

You have to pay for air con in Pefki Islands. The cost is 65 euros for a week. In the two bedroom apartments this rises to 119euros for the two rooms. However, it is effective if you leave the doors open between the two rooms, you may only need one. During the summer you will need air con.

The on site supermarket is well stocked and reasonably priced, given the fact it is convenient. Some things are a little more expensive that out of the hotel, but not massively. A six pack of 1.5ltr water is 2 euros. Outside you may get it for 1.90.

The Greek night is great fun. The cost is 19 euros for adults, 10 euros for 10-18yr olds and free fro under 10's. The buffet is excellent and you can eat as much as you like. The buffet is split into two sessions, with the usual mains first and then after a little entertainment the dessert buffet is opened.

Each room has a safe and the cost for a week is 25euros.

We were on a B&B basis and breakfast is very good. It has plenty of choice with all of the usual combinations. It is served in Elia restaurant for the entire complex. We did not have an evening meal there as there are many options in Pefkos itself. As for dinning out there is a new 'agreement' between bars and restaurants of not competing against each other. As a result the prices are fairly similar across them all. The difference being the quality and ambience of each restaurant. The average price of a large beer is about 3.4 euros, cocktails anywhere between 5.5 and 7 euros. There are also plenty of happy hours scattered across the resort. There has been two increases in taxes by the Greek government this year so far. It would not be surprising if there are more. This has had the inevitable knock on effect across the board. Their VAT equivalent is now 24%.

A big thank you to all of the staff at the hotel for making our stay so enjoyable.

All of the staff work tirelessly and bring the usual high level of Greek hospitality to your holiday. Kostas - 'Jessica' says 'Hello'!

You will not be disappointed with the hotel. If you are then there must be some very serious issues...................!

We were a party of twelve and had a brilliant time at Pefki Islands. Would we go back - without hesitation!
