  Do not understand the bad reviews. Too high expectations? It's not 5 star

  29 Aug 2025

  I feel I need to write a review here to offset some of the negative reviews I have read before I even went to this place. Most of the review here i cannot agree with. I don't know if people are just too demanding, have higher expectations than what is advertised or generally the boomer generation that wants the moon on a stick, and then be able to eat the moon. I visited for a week on Aug 4th and I have nothing g but praise for the place, Dianne, a very friendly day lady who has worked there a long time does not stop. The owner Paul works tiresly keeping the place going which he built with his father back in The 80s. And his Son who was super friendly and helpful. We felt very welcome here. As this was my daughters first holiday I wanted it to be memorable and it did not disappoint. We have a 2 bed apartment with a balcony at the back which caught the much needed breeze as it was super hot. The front door on the first floor looked over the gorgeous pool and plants that surrounded the area. Don't come here expecting 5 star apartments. The rooms are basic and functional. They are really clean and tidy. Beds are comfy. You have an area with fridge and kettle ect for tea or to prep some humous and bread sticks from the shop literally 1 min walk away. The bathroom and plumbing is Greek. Yes it's all a bit antiquated, but this is Greece. It adds to the charm and I was more than happy sat on the balcony with a cup of tea . People's reviews here showing a dirt mark or moaning about a chip in the toilet , moaning the toaster had rust on it... I could go on but seriously, like go outside and see where you are? Why are you indoors for? Air conditioning worked a dream for us, not sure why again people are moaning. We only used for a couple of days as on a tight budget but we ended up having too as it was 40 degrees by the time we left. People saying 20 eur is alot. The hotel makes 5 eur profit out of that as electricity is super expensive in Greece. 5 eur to then maintain the air con units. Not much is it? The people moaning about ants. It's Greece. There are ants literally everywhere and mozzies and cats! Tip.. don't want ants in the apartment? Clean up after yourself. I had ants once as I had left a bottle of cocktail out . Only time we had them . Location, literally 5 mins walk to a beautiful turquoise beach surrounded by rocks for some amazing snorkeling. 5 mins the other way and you on the main strip of shops, bars, eateries. It's just lovely . Good bus links too and cheap to go visit lindos up road which was 2 eur or further afield. The pool. Wow. Super clean, the guys put alot of chems in every night and it's just gorgeous and deep too. Chilling by the pool was definitely a highlite of this place. Worth noting we upgraded to bed and breakfast and trust me we didn't not need lunch for most of the holiday! To round off I would reiterate by saying keep your expectations set as you are not coming to a 5 star resort. You want 5 star then go pay more but don't criticise this gem of a place because it does not conform to your over inflated expectations. I will definitely be back and thank you for a memorable stay.

  Not Great

  25 Aug 2025

  I don't normally feel the need to write these reviews but feel I should share my experience. I travelled there with my family and another family, who also had same issues we had.Now we understood that it was budget, but there's basic and then there's basic...who new a bath mat and hand towel would be classed as a luxury item. The hand towel provided was people's left behind beach towels rewashed. The outside of the apartments were lovely, but let down by the tiredness of the inside. The toilet seat was chipped and looked like it had seen a few seasons.The air con was €20 a day, but the electric key was cable tied onto the apartment keys so you couldn't give it a head start while you were round the pool before going up to get ready...so it was pretty much useless, as when you actually needed it, it wasn't at it's coldest. I feel that was very over priced, as you never got a full day out of it.The pool looks lovely, but I wasn't sure how much it was actually cleaned. You could never smell any chlorine and it always seemed to have an oily layer. We started using another pool opposite, as did other guests staying there. Mainly because the sun beds were proper beds and their pool bar was a lot cheaper and friendlier. Our children like an ice cream and drink but each time they had that at coliseum it cost €8.50 each. At the other place it cost €5 for ice cream and a drink, and not being able to eat/drink your own stuff round the pool bars there (understandably) we needed to save where we could.The Coliseum could easily improve with such small touches toilet seats, hand towels and bath mats are not expensive items to provide. Also maybe rethinking their costings for things air con and bar tariff seemed a lot.

  Great location. Great pool. Needs modernizing.

  We actually stayed here a year ago and as it was our first time booking a self catering apartment, we didn’t know what to expect. I’m writing this now, as we’re coming to the end of another self catering holiday and our experience couldn’t be more different.TipsIf you’re due to arrive after 9pm ish, take a torch, water and your own fan. The place will be in complete darkness when you arrive and your key will be left in your door. The air con will not be on. It’s a pretty unbearable first night in summer if you’re not used to heat.Take your own toilet paper, washing up liquid, cleaning products and tea towels, as these are not provided.I wouldn’t recommend booking this if you’re a self-caterer who likes to cook- there is only a two ring plug in hot plate available. No other means of cooking.Familiarise yourself with the bins around the area as you are required to empty your own bins, including the toilet one, into the street bins .Your room may be cleaned once in the time you’re there. There are no changes of towels. I bought my own washing powder. Air Conditioning, Tourist Tax and Safety Deposit Box all need to be budgeted for. Cash preferred. You’ll need the air con but it will take a wedge out of your budget.Two bed apartments- we were in one of the ground floor apartments which unfortunately was nothing like the photograph given to us by Jet2. It is dark and gloomy with cell-like windows so you couldn’t see outside. The twin room was a good size. IKEA-type small wardrobe. In the Double, the bed is a mattress on a fixed base you have to climb up to. There’s very little room to sit indoors. There were two small side tables but only room really for a couple of chairs. The terraced area, whilst very public, was a good size. The pool is brilliant. The kids loved it. The location is fab. Really central for everything and buses to take you all over the island. All in all we had a fab holiday but were surprised to have paid roughly the same for this holiday as we did last year, yet the experience is totally different.
