Hotel Alisios

Hotel Alisios

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel was very clean and was located on the beach. It was a short walk to old town where there were tons of restaurants, shopping, and bars. We had breakfast included, and there were a good variety of choices. There also was a restaurant and bar located on the third floor that had a wonderful view of the beach and ocean. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. My son left his retainers at the property and we called and they weren’t able to find them. They contacted me via email a couple days later stating they found the retainers. I was very thankful they did this. They are going to mail them back to me. I would highly recommend this hotel as it had everything you could want for a beachfront hotel."

10/10 Excellent
"We had a really enjoyable stay at this hotel and would definitely return. The location is excellent for exploring the Old Town, although there are quite a lot of steps up and down around the hotel, so guests with mobility issues may find this challenging. The hotel does offer a shuttle service to the Old Town until 5:30pm, and taxis are very reasonably priced, so getting around wasn’t an issue for us. Our room was very clean, with fresh towels changed daily, and the shower was excellent. The only real downside was the availability of sun loungers. There didn’t seem to be enough for the number of guests, and some were broken, which was a little disappointing. Overall, though, we had an excellent time. The hotel, location and cleanliness were all great, and we would happily return."
