Beautiful hotel designed for summer living. Cool marble floors, open roofs, outdoor dining. Lovely balcony overlooking sea Staff were incredible. All went over and above to help my father in a wheelchair. There were ramps to most places but we couldn't get to the chapel or the library because of steps.

“Very nice!”
Beautiful architecture, everything clean and fresh. The hotel has many areas at the see and the beach with bars. Both indoor and outside pools have circulating see water, it was very nice to swim as the water was so clean. The “Labyrinth’ lobby bar is a great place to hang after dinner, even with kids.

Visiting at the end of October, we still enjoyed the large outdoor pool, the sea, and the villa private pool ( heated). The indoor pool with Finnish sauna was great for a rainy day. All the staff members were so nice and helpful. Kids' Club was professionally organised, with extra Halloween activity. The hotel bar was an interesting concept: comfortable and beautiful, it attracted families and couples in equal proportion.

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wonderful Stay!”
I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The staff were extremely friendly and helpful — from the reception team to the housekeepers, everyone was so professional and welcoming. The room with the private pool was spacious, spotless, and absolutely perfect for relaxing. Overall, it was a truly peaceful and enjoyable vacation. I can’t wait to come back!

“Amazing hotel, wonderful staff and fabulous food. Highly recommend!”
The hotel is amazing, this was our fourth year in a row and it never disappoints. I think it was the best buffet food ive ever had, the service is amazing and the staff cannot be more accommodating. You never have to fight for sun beds, the private area at the pool and beach is well served and there is plenty to do - tennis, yoga, paddle, aqua gym (Nicki is amazing and everyone joins in!), volleyball and plenty of water sport options. Good entertainment with live music each night by the bar and a lovely way to end the evening after dinner.

“The best hotel ever, total VIP service”
We felt in the hotel like we were celebrities or VIPs. We were provided with refreshments and special drinks while the staff arranged our room and handled our luggage. We were upgraded to a 2-bedroom villa with a jacuzzi, private pool, nice grass, and easy exit directly to the beach. We also got free drinks and snacks to our room. The hotel was astonishing, with lots of space and pools; most of them are not for swimming. The food in the main restaurant was amazing and delicious, with a very large variety of cuisines. It was impossible to taste all the good and special items in each meal. There were also other restaurants, but the main one was so good that we didn't have any need to try them. Before we left the hotel, they even provided a free late check-out for us, so we got almost another day at the hotel, including the room, the pool, and the beautiful beach. Overall, it was the best hotel we ever had.

“A modern & hygienic foodies paradise!”
The food was excellent every day and every mealt - from the variety of lamb/pork/beef/veg dishes to the multiple high-end desserts. Wines and numerous cocktails included in the comfort package were also of a good standard and variety - I enjoyed the Verde cocktail and the Dione red. The staff were also really well trained and friendly no matter which area of the hotel we were at from the banqueting restaurant to the pool/beach. There wasn't a very long wait for drink orders by the pool or the beach which just highlights the efforts of the motivated staff. Rooms were large, king-size beds and private balconies and also airy. The entire hotel is cleaned to a high spec spotless everyday. The evening entertainment was also nice with live musicians nightly. We also managed to catch a movie showing by the beach, which was a really nice touch by the hotel. We also went for the spa treatments and found the scrub and massage to be very professional, clean, and experienced, leaving us feeling refreshed. With its own private beach and well observed no hogging sunchair rules, the stress of finding a sunchair wasn't an issue either. The salt pool was actually quite a pleasant surprise as I was worried about it being too salty initially, but to be honest, I wouldn't really have noticed the difference.

“The perfect family holiday in Greece!”
Our stay was amazing. First, the hotel is simply beautiful, with stunning views of the sea and great architecture. The big swimming pool with sea water and the hotel beach were top notches. Our room with a private swimming pool was perfect for a stay with our kid. Indeed, in spite of being a luxury hotel, Amirandes is definitely a place for families. The days' schedules (meals, activities...) seem to always take into account the needs of the youngest clients. The place is also very quiet, we never had any issues for getting good sleep. The staff was always very helpful and polite. The restaurant had a great choice of food which was always pretty tasty.

I can't recommend this hotel. We had one of the best villas in the hotel. But it was noisy from other villa. Especially during night. There is no wall between the villas, just a regular door. You hear absolutely everything... and of course they do too. Good sleep is basic purpose of any hotel. And for this price it is unforgivable. Breakfast good (not the best) with some issues like one home toaster machine for 2 breads. There was queue for long time and and is there really one home model of toaster for two loaves of bread for the entire hotel? That's a stupid joke. Dinner was ok but not more and lunch was terrible. I understand, lunch was really poor with just minimum variety and for me there was nothing for me to eat. For the price of our villa is my rating just two stars. But I'm giving it 2 extra stars because the staff tried to solve or compensate for some problems.
