Salmakis Resort & Spa

The Salmakis Resort & Spa was an enticing place but little things meant that it didn't deserve its 5 star rating. The WiFi did not work in the hotel room, only in the restaurant and reception areas, which was very frustrating and inconvenient. When we arrived there was one area through which everyone had to walk to access other areas of the hotel, which had a large pallet loaded with what seemed to be large boxes of machinery. Over our stay this pallet was gradually unloaded but the boxes were just moved to corridors outside the hotel rooms on various levels. There was evidence of damage to some of the mosaics set into walkways and repairs were needed to the steps from our room down to the pool area. In my hotel room, there was no plug for the bathroom basin, meaning to shave it was necessary to keep running the water - a waste of resources. There was no toilet roll holder beside the toilet, just a couple of toilet rolls sitting on a shelf beneath the hand basin. The beach towels were obviously quite old as many of them were frayed at the edges. In all, whilst we enjoyed our stay there it definitely was not worth a 5 star rating.

Great beakfast. The staff was nice. Rooms were beautiful. The pool amazing. The manger was not so nice he seems to enjoy mansplaining things when he himself doesn't know how thngs work. That was the only downside.

The room was generally clean, though the furnishings and overall condition showed signs of age. Staff were consistently courteous, understanding, and helpful throughout our stay. However, several issues impacted our experience. We noticed items in our luggage had been moved—guests should keep belongings secured. Toward the end of our visit, cigarette smoke began seeping into our room. The front desk informed us that adjacent rooms were vacant but offered to relocate us. Strangely, we observed lights turning on and off and heard toilets flushing in one of those rooms, suggesting possible unauthorized use—perhaps by staff during breaks. The air conditioning was ineffective and failed to cool the room properly. Smoking is widespread across the property, including the beach, pool, bars, and restaurant. Guests with asthma or smoke sensitivity should be cautious, as there are no designated non-smoking areas and the hotel does not clearly advertise its smoking-friendly status. The main restaurant offers a decent variety of food, though it can become repetitive. Cleanliness was inconsistent—glassware and utensils often appeared dirty, and flies were present around the buffet. Many guests were visibly ill and lacked basic hygiene, which was concerning. Despite these drawbacks, the beach and pier are beautiful, and the food is enjoyable. Recommended only if you're comfortable with a smoking environment and can overlook some cleanliness concerns.
