Grapevines Hotel

Bright, modern, beautifully decorated comfortable bedroom and excellent shower. Large patio. Nice pool. 5 minutes walk to town.

Room service on only one day of our 3 day stay was very disappointing. Had to bring our dirty towels to reception quite a long walk away to ask for fresh ones. There never was anyone on reception so had to go to the bar. Very embarrassing carrying my dirty towels. I stood for 5 minutes but the only barman was too busy on his phone, so I had to shout Hellooo which got me a dirty look and he very reluctantly went to get towels. Bar area very unappealing and unclean.. Our last night we got no sleep due to a party in the room above which went on all night.

War alles perfekt, vielen lieben Dank.

We really enjoyed our stay in the Grapevines Hotel!! The rooms were exceptionally nice, and the owners are the nicest people, always checking in on us, giving us tipps for the best food and treating us with the best Bougatsa on the island! We can only recommend staying at this hotel!!

Everything was perfect!

Family owned and run by mum and son. location was away from busy main drag and noise of bars and entertainment, and yet only a short walk to go for meals etc. pool and surrounding scrupulously clean and attended daily. Rooms vary according to the building you are put in. I was in room 15 above the bar. Good sized room with good facilities and a balcony overlooking the pool. Unfortunately the mosquito/fly screen had been torn and my air conditioning unit was broken, so the beginning of my stay over 3 nights was less than perfect. The staff tried but failed to get the air conditioner working and then moved me to a new room for the end of my stay. on retrospect I should have been moved after the first night but I wasn’t pushy enough. The room was cleaned every day and the freezer a big compartment, ideal. in room 14 the freezer was smaller but otherwise the room very similar. Breakfasts on offer were good and reasonably priced, that was all I tried. The bar played modern music at night until the last customer left and a to was showing football etc. Only met English customers; most were middle aged or older and repeat visitors which shows it is reliable and enjoyed by them. The bar only takes cash and there are no facilities to pay by card or phone which was a problem I had to overcome. Generally in Alakanas cash was preferred by businesses I noticed. The walk to the beach was not too onerous and the sandy beach at the harbour end has Neraida and Akti beach bars to service them. The beach that end was also very clean and well maintained with warm shallow waters and sun beds hired out at cash price €10 for two per day. Nicks boat hire was €150 for 4 hrs plus petrol. Good, fun little motor boats.

Not all rooms have fly screens - middle building. The bathroom windows have no screens and mozzies are numerous because of the pool and well kept grounds that are watered. No payment facilities No barrister skills yet.
