Ulasan Ioli Village

Where do I start ? When we first arrived at 3pm we were told room was not ready as there had been a disabled person in the room . After an hour wait we were shown to our 2nd floor room . Superior room it wasn’t , electrical socket hanging off , dirty pan , broken coat hooks and a bed in the kitchen ?? . €20 to hire a kettle , €20 a hairdryer, €25 for safe and if you need a/c it could be another €60.Pool area was nice but green line around the pool put you off a bit . The place is in an ideal location as it’s close to everything. Hadn’t used the hob until last morning turned it on got an ELECTRIC SHOCK !! from it and all power went , no one in reception TUI couldn’t get hold of anyone so had to dress in the dark . Would go again but definitely not this hotel .

Let's start with the bad.... Outside the appartments look ok, but inside they are very dated, think 1970's decor, tired, patched up in places. Toilet was constantly running, shower head leaked and very hard matresses. Food - Can't comment as we decided to find our own places to eat, which are close by Aircon is minimal, had to pay 20 pounds for an extra fan for the kids bedroom as the aircon was not good enough. On our last night the aircon packed up.... Roads outside, terrible, everyone wants to park either side of the street making parking almost impossible. Have to be a good driver to drive around the back streets but they do have a car park around the back if you can get to it. Good Lots of places to eat nearby, and only 10 mins walk to the beach Reasonable swimming pool facilities Cheap, so you get what you pay for

Just home after a week. The rooms are small and basic but have everything you need. It was clean. Small kitchenette with full size under counter fridge with small freezer compartment. Toasters, kettle, 2 ring hob. Not many sockets in the apartment. Our bathroom towels only got changed once in the whole week. They state every 3 days. They state they clean everyday. But all they do is empty the bins there is no cleaning involved. You can hire towels from reception €10 per towel deposit. They don’t want you changing them every day though. You can hire fans for €20 per week but they will question why you want them. My sister struggled to get a fan. They give you one pillow about 1cm thick and will also question you if you ask for more pillows. The patio doors also have external sliding shutters to help with the heat. Reception staff were a bit standoffish. Pool bar were helpful and nice. Food at the pool was good def recommend the frappe. Not enough sunbeds and umbrellas. Some of the umbrellas were broken. Plenty of space for more beds but there is seating at the bar so you can use these chairs. Pool starting to show signs of aging and could do with a touch up. Paint peeling and some of the grates are broken. The pool is also not opened until 10am so at least people don’t try and grab beds early. I think the beach is more popular. The pool bar only takes cash or you can set up a tab u see your room and pay later. The resort has cash points. The bar closes for food at 4.30pm and fully closes at 7.30pm. The hotel offers breakfast but no idea what it’s like. They also offer dinner but saw no advertising of this. The hotel is close to the main strip and supermarkets.

Reading previous reviews of the hotel I was concerned but there was no need. We booked a family room with air con and were pleasantly surprised to have a good size apartment with two bathrooms and two balconies, so plenty of room. The maids came in the room daily to empty the bins and changed the bedding and towels every few days. A few reviews mentioned that the pool area suffers from wasp infestations. There were a few harmless honey bees (often confused with wasps) but we only saw one wasp in two weeks!! I also want to mention how helpful and friendly the pool bar staff were. Nothing was too much trouble for them and the food / drinks on offer were great value (3 euros for a toastie, 5 euros for a pizza etc). All in all we had a great family holiday which we felt was excellent value for money.

First thing to do here once you’re dropped off on the Main Street from the airport transfer coach is to…………… Run because it seamed like first come first served with the rooms with air con whether or not it’s in your booking in a country in August that the day time temperature is 35c The pool is the best thing about the place but the deep end is 2.2 metres the pool bar serve food not the cheapest and draught beer local stuff called alpha is €5 per pint which is very expensive compared to the bars and restaurant’s near by we went out first night here and for two kids two adults including drinks it was around €40 so not to bad this place comes alive as expected at night time the Greek people are very polite nice I’d come back to this area but maybe do a bit more research on the hotel

Don't waste your money here! No electric in kitchen due to hanging wires with no plug. Loose tiles in bathroom. Pool area was filthy and not cleaned as often as they said and wasp infestation around the pool which took most of our holiday to hang a few traps. Bar lady was just rude and even shouted because we put up an umbrella! Rep just said it's a 3rd world country what did I expect! No Aircon in rooms except on top floor so don't just expect to pay when you arrive like other hotels. If it was possible to rate this holiday with 0 stars that's what I would give. Totally awful holiday! I've stayed in many 3* hotels but none as bad as this.

For a hotel with 3 stars I wonder where these stars are justified. Or its 3 out of 10, then the amount of stars would be just right... This hotel does no longer live up to the minimal standard that a hotel has to uphold. The rooms we saw are a big letdown. Down to the very basics but very aged. To the point where you just would not let anybody stay there anymore, not in these days and age. Not all rooms have AC and in a country where the temperature can rise to near 40's or beyond, an AC should be a courtesy of the hotel to the guests. Not for some other room but with extra pay and don't let guest rent a fan for 20 euro's! It's making extra money at the expences of the guests in a unhospitable way. And thats another thing, the hospitality.... The staff in the lobby lacks it, its not like what you could and should expect in a highly hospitable country like Greece. Rude and unfriendly, thats whats shown here. The overall maintanance of the hotel is in a poor state. The walls, ceilings, outer walls, the wood outside, it all haven't seen some fresh paint in a pretty long while. The pool area is the best area of the hotel but swarming with bees and wasps, and the staff just ignores them. There is no kind of prevention or deterrance, just a lot of bees and wasps all around the edges of the pool. To top it off, the shower does not work, nor does the hotel attempt to fix it. I know very well that for these prices you normally ger what you pay for. I've been to Greece a lot of times and this was our third trip to Pefkochori. But never have I stayed in a hotel or appartment that had me wanting to leave. For the price range this hotel stays in, I would highly recommend anyone reading this to look further and find a hotel that is worth the money.

Very disappointing!!! It was 30c+ with no air con unit in the apartment. Had to hire two fans for 20 euros each for the week. Our holiday paperwork from Jet2 stated Air con was in our apartment, not the case. We managed but not ideal as one of the family has medical issues. Also 21 euros was for the Tourist tax for 7 days but no receipts are issued so be aware, we had a letter from reception before end of holiday as a reminder to pay before you leave. Taken up with Reception who checked and apologized for mistake stating they did not know who had paid and who had not. However, there are some positives, the room was spacious and basically equipped with toaster, kettle and two cooking rings. TV had two channels, Eurosport with no sound and Kids channel with sound. It was convenient for the bars/restaurants and the beach and shopping areas, about 6mins walk. Would we return - unfortunately not. The resort we did like which is a shame. Also, you get dropped off and picked up about 150m on the main road. The exterior of our apartment block needs serious urgent repairs to roof, balcony especially the spindles that you could twist and could pose a risk to childrens safety. On speaking to other British staying there we came to the same conclusion that we were given a block at the back perimeter. Nothing like the photos shown here.

We absolutely loved our family holiday here. We were self catering. The kitchenette had the basics to be able to make breakfast and snacks which is all we needed really. The apartment was spacious and clean and were nice and fairly modern inside, including the bathroom. The apartment had a balcony to each side. One overlooking the pretty gardens and one overlooking the street, which is where we normally sat watching the world go by. We had the bins changed daily and the apartment was cleaned with clean towels and bedding every other day. The staff were wonderful, the couple that ran the hotel, the ladies who ran the pool bar and the maids. The pool was the best bit. It was pretty and relaxing. Plenty of sun beds and the pool was lovely and fresh water, not salt water. The food and cocktails from the pool bar were lovely and very reasonably priced. The hotel does seem to have been given a some bad reviews but for a 3 star hotel we found it perfectly lovely and good value for money as a whole. Would not have expected any more for the price and rating. It is close to everything you need, the old square, beach and stop. We walked everywhere. The only thing that may bother some people is the fact the hotel seems to only take cash. But we did not mind that and knew from previous reviews. Also, Jet2 did say the pool may not be open until the end of June. But it was open 10-5 from when we were there for a week from 23rd May.

rooms are dated, pool is best part, and pool bar tender a great guy. be careful when you have showered, floors a so slippy . air con only in one room, beware of mosquito's. rooms did have a kitchen, which was helpful. a 10 min walk to the beach, local supermarkets are good priced

We really like Greece as a summer holiday destination, but this summer we experienced a big disappointment, first from Loveholidays as an organization, and then from the hotel itself. After arriving at the airport in Thessaloniki, we took a shuttle bus to the hotel. On the move, we found out that the bus drops you off on the road/ somewhere near the hotel/ but not at the hotel itself. Here I would like to point out that families with several small children, people with difficulty moving and elderly people/ and normally they all have a lot of luggage/ who count on being left at the hotel and not at some vague distance, also travel for vacation. When booking a shuttle, the idea is not to use public transport in an unfamiliar place, to be calm that you are going to the right place, to be relaxed and not to carry heavy suitcases. But in this case, you don't get what you paid for. They drop you off on the main road, even the driver can't give you the correct direction of where your hotel is, not to mention some families had to call a taxi to the hotel. And on the last day, a shuttle bus picked us up at 8.10am and dropped us off at Thessaloniki Airport at 11.30am. Dear people, we had not paid for an educational excursion to Halkidiki, but we got it, we toured Kassandra far and wide. It is not normal to travel almost 4 hours a distance that is traveled in about an hour. I understand that this is not a taxi and that there are other people to pick up, but the route may not be too long. And so we arrived at the cherished goal - the Ioli Village hotel, the time is around 4 in the afternoon. We are accommodated by a girl who speaks very bad English and no other language than Greek. No one offers you anything, neither food nor drink after the long drinking/ and you paid for food for that day as well/. Here comes the next shock, that the appearance of the hotel and the type of the rooms have nothing to do with the photos we had seen on the site. Later, we understand that we have a program menu - breakfast at a buffet table in the restaurant, lunch by the pool, dinner in the restaurant. Now let me explain what we got from this breakfast program - buffet / toast, in 2-3 large plates are placed several slices of cheese, ham and boiled eggs, tomatoes, coffee, tea, fresh milk/, there is no choice, there is no quantity, there is none hot breakfast. The concept of all inclusive has nothing to do with what we have seen so far. Lunch - it turned out to be worse than breakfast, sandwiches, fried potatoes, and semi-finished products by the pool. Dinner - something that is cooked according to the owner's opinion. Yes freshly made, but a single meal/ likes and dislikes is just that..... choice is not the issue here, what if you are vegetarian, or vegan, or.... just starving. It was some kind of parody of all inclusive, which we refused to use from day one. They can't even get it to halfboard. The owner was amazed that we were unhappy and tried to convince us that he was ri

Exceeded our expectations. Pool area is lovely, huge pool loads of sunbeds and great food at the pool bar. We stayed for 5 days on an all inclusive basis. Breakfast is continental, not a huge selection but still had all the basics we needed. Lunch was great, we’d eat at the pool bar. On all inclusive you had a choice of items all of the menu freshly cooked to order. Which suited us great over a buffet style all inclusive. For dinner we were served homemade food by the lovely owner. All Greek dishes freshly cooked for us. Very authentic, we loved it! Ideal location 5 min walk to main town and beach. The family/owners were extremely hospitable as soon as we arrived. We arrived late on our first day so they made sure we had a home cooked meal waiting for us on arrival. They also allowed us to keep one of our rooms all day when we checked out as our flight was an evening flight, which helped us enjoy our final day with less stress. The rooms we stayed in were basic rooms, which was expected for the price but very clean and nice large balconies. We travelled as a group of 4 friends and will all definitely be returning.

I stayed here for 5 days with friends (women aged 27-33) and had a relaxing and comfortable time and were well looked after. We were given apartments right next to each other and dinner was waiting for us in the room when we arrived as we got there late. The host was wonderful and a fantastic cook, she bought out authentic and delicious meals each night. The pool area was big and the bar staff were incredibly helpful and really lovely. Food at the bar was 10/10 and I couldn’t complain. The rooms had everything you needed and if you didn’t it would be delivered to you, they were also cleaned each day with fresh towels delivered. We paid for the all inclusive option and this was an absolute bargain. It is only a very short walk to the town and beach with great restaurants and wine bars if you fancy venturing out. We were really pleased with our stay and will be returning

A really lovely hotel! Family run and very personal service, all staff are so friendly and can’t do enough to help you. Amazing food all cooked fresh for lunch and dinner. Clean rooms, all amenities you would need they can provide anything you forget. Pool area very nice and clean. Appropriate for groups of friends, families and couples. Would definitely recommend and will be back!!
