Eagles Palace

It's a beautiful hotel, wonderful location.. very quiet. We were on a couples holiday for a week in the sun. The food is fantastic, we opted for the dine around package and had 2-3 dinners at each of the three restaurants that were open. Good food, a fine selection and very good service. The beach i great, divided into smaller patches and there was a quiet zone, where neither kids or music was allowed. Great! Two items draw down from the 5 star experience. 1. We reserved tables at the restaurants from home.. and reconfirmed these at arrival; had one change, but still experienced twice that we had to move to another restaurant, due to misunderstandings - not a 5 star experience. 2. The hotel only sells expensive bottled water to bring to the beach. When you are in the heat, you need to drink a lot, and having to think on buying more water is not a good thing. But all in all a good experience and we would come back if opportunity allows.

We are halfway through our stay at Eagles Palace: a lovely hotel. The beach is lovely with clear, calm water and loungers are well spaced, unlike so many other European five star hotels that pack them in closely. (Romanos/Westin resort in the Peloponnese being the last example). The grounds are pretty and they’ve handled Covid well, with sensible but non-intrusive adjustments. We haven’t found queues to be an issue. Melathron food is okay - though their Greek night is truly excellent - and the food at Armyra is delicious. We haven’t been able to book more than one meal at their formal restaurant Kamares, as it gets busy - you need to book it on arrival if you want a chance of a table. 
Staff are friendly and helpful almost without exception. 
The quiet area on the beach and the buttons for service on the umbrellas are excellent ideas.
 A couple of relatively minor issues we had were:
 1. ‘Garden view’ room is actually a view of the car park at the front of the hotel. This may be a wrong description from our travel agent, Kuoni, but it’s pretty misleading. We didn’t think it was worth asking to switch rooms, though, as we don’t spend any time in the room itself. 
 2. The double bed is two beds pushed together - and not connected, so a gap develops in the night. I spoke to a manager about this and she said that they are able to bring a replacement double mattress in. Not sure why it’s not a double mattress to begin with, but I’m glad this is something they’re able to fix. 
3. Air con is very loud so maybe bring ear plugs to sleep. 4. There is a sewage smell in the bathroom, but a floor towel placed over the drain solves the issue.

Eagles Palace ticks all the boxes. Despite Covid 19 - had the most wonderful holiday. Beautiful beach, crystal clear & calm waters, location, rooms, food and surrounds. I can't recommend it highly enough and will return. You will not be disappointed with all Eagles Palace offers.
