Almost everything about this resort is excellent. Spotlessly clean, attentive and friendly staff, great accommodation and pools, little outdoor cinema showing English films each evening and then there is the food. I have never been much of a fan of buffet style meals, but the food and service provided here surpassed all expectations in both the quality and quantity. Truly amazing. Vast choice of fruit and salads, local dishes, oven baked pizza, pasta and roast meats and desserts to die for. You will be going back for more ! Drinks are a very reasonable price. Half price alcohol at happy hour between 4pm and 6pm. Mine’s a mojito 👍. The only negative is that it is situated such that you either need a car to travel anywhere, or avail yourself of organised trips. We did both to see the highlights of the island and delightful neighbouring Ithaka. But I missed the typical evening stroll and window shopping. It lacks a comfortable lounge although there is a music bar. There are sofas in reception but it’s a bit clinical and the air con is a bit too chilly there. Xi beach is a short stroll away. The weather was so hot during our stay that we didn’t go there as I believe there is little shade and that was a shame, but the pool made up for it. Umbrellas are fixed so no one can take more than one per two sun beds and reserving these with towels is technically not allowed. There is also an outdoor sofa area with shade. In all a great place and highly recommended.

We could not find anything about the hotel to complain about. The food was beyond excellent and it was a joy to eat and savour the varied dishes provided both in the buffet and a la carte! The staff were all friendly and attentive and the slow pace of life soon engulfed us and we felt relaxed and totally at home which is exactly what you need on a holiday. Will definitely be going back!

Beautiful and well maintained grounds and pools. Rooms were spacious and very clean. Beds were comfortable. Bathroom products were very nice and they kept them stocked daily. Food at the buffet and Italian restaurant were very good. Great selection of choices of food. Only complaint would be that with the half board plan, no drinks were provided with the dinner, not even water! Also, even though we had our room set to do not disturb, the maids still entered our rooms and cleaned and people knocked on our doors to refill coffee etc. Those were the only things that bugged me and that’s really not anything to worry about. Honestly, It’s definitely the best hotel on the island! We rented a car and traveled over the entire island. The best beaches are on the west side of the island. Xi beach is right by the resort and is one of the nicest. Try the tavern on Xi beach. The food is really good and cheap! The hotel is worth the money for sure. We got massages at the spa and the ladies there were wonderful. We loved our stay and the island. Next time I would spend a little more and get a villa with a private pool 😀

Great for large families
Negatives - very inflexible reservation staff. I booked 5 rooms for my family and ended up adding an additional nights. Considering the size of the booking, I would have thought they would have been much more accommodating with my requests. Positives - The Resort was great, lots of space for kids. Great pool areas and the food was decent. Fresh fruit at mealtimes were excellent.

Pool area closes at 6pm, which is too early.
Definitely not a 5* hotel. Very disappointed to find the pool and the whole pool area closed at 6pm - this seemed very early, especially on hot days - we had to go to a friends hotel after 6pm. There is only one pool which felt rather small for the size of the hotel -the other pool shown in the photos was for the private use of certain guests. The pool often felt busy, even though the hotel wasn't full. Breakfast was ok, no fresh juices. Rooms were comfortable and clean. Beautiful planting around the grounds. Plenty of parking. Locally there isn't much on offer - a few tavernas by the beach, but Xi beach isn't very nice. For a nice beach you have to go to Patani - half an hours drive. The children claimed the wifi wasn't very good

Overall hotel very nice and got a complimentary room upgrade however service wasn’t very good, and in the bar was extremely poor. On one occasion my group of 6 waited approximately 30 minutes (possibly more) to receive some drinks. The bar wasn’t even very busy at the time and there seemed like there were sufficient staff around. On pretty much every occasion though the drinks took a lot longer than they should have and the staff never seemed terribly apologetic. I would give the hotel in general 4-5 stars. Service by the pool/bar area 1-2.

It was a wonderful hotel, one of the best places we have ever stayed at as a family of five. We stayed in one of the maisonettes and they were fabulous as they had their own pool which linked to a larger one and it was great to have a second bathroom for our teenagers to share upstairs.

Really great relaxing break
We had a great time relaxing at this hotel. Getting there isnt well publicised so we arranges a taxi (through the hotel) which we negotiated a cost of €80 (each way) before we left the UK. If we had researched a little better, we would have found there was a ferry to Laxouri then a taxi to the hotel (my advice-do this) for half the price. On arrival, staff were great, cold drinks were given at the reception, bags were taken and we were shown to our room. Really nice, clean, spacious room bottle of wine and a bowl of fruit to welcome us in. Ventured down to the pool, no problems throughout finding loungers always loads to choose from every day, no need to lay towels out. Pool was a great relaxing treat, quiet and tranquille. We stayed half board, breakfast far and away the best meal the hotel offered, wide ranging selection of any style of breakfast, including a quality full English. Dinner, in our view was dissapointing. Evening entertainment was sparse but did cater for everyones tastes, again a little disappointing bar staff were friendly. We ventured out to the beach which had some nice bars and views, this served as a leg stretch and break with a little more activity and noise. Small mini market offered a nice range of drinks and snack should you wish to stay on you veranda for a night cap. Return to the airport was a breeze using the ferry. All in all, we had a great break at a beautiful hotel, I would recommend this hotel for a relaxing break.

Excellent family friendly hotel
I just can't fault this hotel. Although initially I thought it was not big enough for 5 star, for a small Greek island I would rate as 5 star. We were there with our 7 year old son so was looking for safe, clean, family friendly hotel and the staff working there offered it all. They are incredibly kind, helpful and lovely people. The pool, bar, restaurant, rooms are very very clean and well maintained. Hotel is 5 mins walk to beautiful Xi beach which is sandy, organised with lots of restaurants and mini markets around. I would totally go back and very strongly recommend. Just be aware it is at least one hour taxi ride from the airport which cost us EUR 80 and 1.5 hours away from port Poros for ferry transfers. We strongly recommend you to hire a care to see other parts of the island also which can be arranged by the hotel with parking amenities.

Not quite five star but excellent value for money
nice modern hotel with everything you would expect. Not really five star but when you compare prices it's very competitive (although wine and drinks typically overpriced!). Outdoor cinema a nice touch though.

Great hotel can't fault it
Just got back from a two week stay. The hotel is very well run the staff are amazing. The rooms are cleaned daily. Wifi isn't great in the rooms. The restaurant has a great variety of Food great breakfast lots to choose from. The evening food pasta, different meats loads of salads which I loved. Shame there wasn't more fish dishes as I don't eat meat but veggie option was good. The cocktails are great especially the expresso martinis after dinner. We went down to xi beach most days. Baywatch did the best burgers and salads. Also fish bones is to the left of the beach have to walk through the water very authentic food lots of fresh fish. Two weeks was too long for us 10 days would be fine. The food repeats it's self in the restaurant. Did the Thomson boat trip which was great fun went to some lovely beaches. The Greek people can't do enough for you.

Our second stay - even better than the first time!
We stayed for 10 days with our 8 year old daughter in mid-July 2016. We had previously stayed at the hotel for 7 days in 2014 at the same time of year. Having holidayed in a different country/resort last year, our daughter was adamant that we return to the Apollonion as we had had such a wonderful holiday two years ago. It was the first time that my wife or I had returned to a hotel/resort and the Hotel Apollonion was every bit as good as we remembered. This visit, we were upgraded from a family deluxe to a suite which we actually didn't want. When we went to reception to ask if there was a possibility of being down-graded again, they were so understanding and had us moved within two hours. This sort of helpfulness and customer service permeates every aspect of the hotel staff. The battery in our hire care went flat one morning - the maintenance team (completely of their own accord) sprang into action and eventually phoned the local rent-a-car place to bring round some jump leads. Within 3 minutes, the car was up and running again. Absolutely brilliant. The food in the buffet for breakfast and dinner is great - huge choice and always something for everyone; the view from the rooms (we were in 327) is stunning; the rooms are well appointed and stylish; the outdoor pool and sunbeds are just right; and the cocktail of the day was sampled religiously! Superb holiday and we will definitely return to the Hotel Apollonion for a third time at some point in the future.

We had a fantastic stay at the Appolonion Resort & Spar. The staff are extremely polite coupled with the overall cleanliness of the resort makes for a very relaxing holiday. The upkeep of the resort should also be mentioned as it a credit to the and owners.

Well kept hotel with excellent service and food
We had a fabulous weeks stay at this hotel in September and we found it very good value and hard to beat on service and food. The rooms were spotless and very comfortable? The pool area was always very clean and never too busy to find a bed for sunbathing. The nearby beach was slightly disappointing though as it was just a thin strip of sand with lots of sun beds and I prefer something a bit quieter. Saying that however the sea and sand where very clean. It is advisable to hire a car, as the hotel is quite remote and it is worth exploring the island. We like the Petonai beach which was a drive down a hillside but well worth it. All in all though I wouldn't hesitate in returning to this hotel as the standard was high in all aspects.
