Nana Golden Beach

Came for our third visit in July 2020 for one week to celebrate my 21st birthday with my mum. Unfortunately we were placed in one of the blocks that hadn't been refurbished yet, and it was looking extremely dated however everything worked perfectly inc. air conditioning so we were happy enough. I am looking forward to returning in the near future and seeing the new rooms. Every single member of staff we encountered was lovely, and always made us feel so welcome. The adults only pool is usually fairly quiet which was ideal for us, although some people did bring their children in who were splashing around and being quite noisy. Didn't take long for the parents to notice the glares from everyone around though, so they usually shifted! Would be good though if there was a staff member ensuring that there was only adults there just occasionally throughout the day. My favourite part of the entire resort though has to be the a la carte restaurants. I think that the Italian is my favourite, the food is just divine! But all three of them are excellent, and the views from the Greek restaurant are absolutely unbeatable. The food in the main restaurant is also good quality, but if you can get into all of the a la carte restaurants, I strongly recommend it. Also, Dina at the beach bar makes lovely food for lunch and she is the most wonderful lady. She has been working there for all three of our visits and it is great to have such a brilliant member of staff working for the hotel, they should be very proud. We didn't leave the hotel at all during the trip, one because it was too hot but also because it is just such a lovely place. Going down to the beach, or onto the little rocky areas with sun loungers makes a nice change from the pools, and it is often quieter over there too. The entertainment has gone significantly down hill since we came the last time - previously all of the entertainment team would put on real shows, learning lines or even improvising on stage. Now it seems to be just lip-syncing, though that seems to be the case at hotels everywhere, which is unfortunate. However, it didn't matter too much to us as we spent most of our evenings at Panorama, which is just lovely. The bar tenders there are great and make delicious drinks! We didn't want to leave, and we will definitely be back again soon. We first came in 2012, then 2014, and we have come with my younger brother both of those times so we have seen the hotel from both the family aspect and the adults aspect. In both respects it is absolutely enjoyable and I would recommend it to anyone who gets the opportunity to visit!

Overall: highly recommend, would stay again. Pros: Friendly & attentive staff. Gregoris at the Asian Restaurant is a credit to the hotel! Excellent food & drink. Plenty of choice & can take bottles of wine back to room when bar closes if you want a nightcap. Animation Team were brilliant & great with the kids. Pro shows also great. Pro-environmental was pleasing to see. Good access to local areas which were also awesome. Criticisms: electrics hard to fathom in room & air con wasn't great. Had an ant problem but staff sorted it. Occasional queues for breakfast. Expect a room tax and safe charges. Bit of a wait to get to room on arrival.
