Excellent hotel. Staff work very hard to make your holiday very special.

Mr P Hilling, Gravesend

The hotel was excellent, as was the food with plenty of choice, all the staff were very friendly and helpful. As to our room we were given a free upgrade from a 'Superior sea view' to a 'Junior Suite'. This room was really nice and was well looked after by the friendly cleaning staff, we were even given a free late check out due to our return flight being late at night.

The hotel and site was very clean and well maintained, the pools were nice and kept very clean and we always managed to find sun loungers. All in all I have to say that I was extremely impressed with the Kresten Royal Villas & Spa Hotel.

The hotel and surroundings were amazing, clearly some effort has gone into the design. The room we stayed in was rather strange as it was advertised as a suite, but in reality it was two standard rooms made into one by removing a pair of doors. Therefore to have electricity in both sides of the room you needed to insert both of the two key cards provided by each front door. The beds were uncomfortable, but I guess that is a matter of personal opinion. Room cleanliness was very good.

The spa was incomplete and therefore not very good value for money, there were exposed wires in some areas and no designated areas for male and female changing; there were no mats outside the showers which was a bad trip hazard as the whole place was tiled. The treatments we received were excellent, but the lack of typical spa facilities such as jacuzzi, hydro pool was a let down.

The main restaurant was nice and well organised, however the food was mediocre at best and very repetitive. The Greek restaurant (pool restaurant) was the best dining experience we had during our stay. As a general note, in all eating areas there were a lot of flies and the food was mostly uncovered.

The pools were nice and were large enough to accommodate all guests, although not heated at all. Finding loungers was not an issue during the stay by the main pool, but the smaller pool with the bar was always full up from the morning.

The hotel shop was well stocked and reasonably well priced for snacks etc. Most of the bars were run well, our preference during our stay was the terrace bar upstairs as the bar staff there were the most efficient and friendly.
