Magna Graecia Palace

Due to Covid we had to postpone our holiday until December at an extra cost of £300. We chose to stay here as it had just been refurbished however the room we were put into was just awful. No air conditioning apart from a tractor of a radiator blowing up the curtains. The balcony door didn't lock and screeched like crazy when you opened and closed it. The balcony was covered in foliage from the olive trees that totally obliterated our view and the 'sea view' we'd paid was a sliver on the horizon between cypress trees. The mosquitoes loved me surrounding the trees and the gap in the balcony door which we had to wedge with carrier bags from the supermarket one windy night in order to get any sleep. 65 mozxie bites later and having looked longingly at the hotel for a day or so we saw red. We'd been put in an annex whilst everyone else enjoyed the glass fronted balconies if the newly refurbed main hotel. We asked to be moved from our room and why when we told the receptionist room 720 there was a flicker of recognition. We were moved just before lunch on the 4th day of our hols. What luxury going into that second room the one we should have been in from the beginning. All the staff were very helpful and lovely, the food was great and there were a few good restaurants and lovely beach nearby, Hotel very careful with social distancing and sanitisers etc but some of the guests not so much! Really enjoyed the second half of our holidays but not the beginning. No one should be put in room 720 until its decorated (squashed mozzies on the walls, broken and mouldy tiles also) and the air con etc have been fixed.

We booked this holiday 3 days before travel so was super cheap for all inclusive. We had a room in the new building w On the lower floor with a huge balcony and garden and a gorgeous sea view, apparently we had the nicest rooms there so if you stay here ask for rooms from 401- 405. 2 large pools but not alot of sun beds but I think this is because of covid, so if you want a bed round the pool put your towels out at 7am. Evening entertainment was fine and liked how it was done by the pool with floating lights. The only down side was the food.. breakfast was fine and lunch not so bad but evening meals were very hit and miss... we ate in twice and went out every other night, I didn't mind so much as the price I paid was cheap but if I had paid the normal asking price i would have been fuming. The staff were lovely however the staff on reception were not !. Over all we had a great time and could only really grumble about the food. Would say it's a great place to stay and use as a base but dont expect too much from the food .
