Grapevines Hotel

Lovely room in modern annexe,bathroom fabulous and spotless.nice family run business,always pleasant and helpful

Obviously they have started to upgrade sun loungers by pool so if they replaced all old ones then that would benefit all

Everything! Such a relaxing stay, but with plenty to do - short walk from main restaurants etc. the location has beautiful views and the hotel is always spotlessly clean. The staff are fantastic, welcoming and attentive. A wonderful family run hotel.

Faultless

Very nice location, rooms are comfy, parking, 10 min walk to the beach, less than 5 min to city center, we enjoyed a lot the place.

Nothing to complain.

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.
