Our stay at the Apollonia Beach Resort was wonderful overall. The entertainment and food were standout features, and we loved the clean and comfy rooms. However, if you're traveling with young children, be prepared for the steep hill and isolated location, which can be challenging. The accessibility of nearby towns requires a bus ride, so plan accordingly.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The spa services were exceptional, particularly the massages, which left me feeling rejuvenated. However, the location was less than ideal as it is very close to an industrial site, which detracted from the overall ambiance.

This hotel has beautiful gardens and pools, along with great beach access, making it a lovely destination for relaxation. The service is friendly and accommodating. However, the food options could use more variety, especially for vegan diets, and the presence of children can make the pool area less tranquil. Overall, it's a good choice for families looking for a peaceful getaway.
