Be very wary if half board!
We arrived around 8pm after a long day of travelling with a 7 month old baby. When we arrived, there was confusion at reception and they seemed to not be able to find our booking to begin with. When we eventually got to our room, the place was flooded as the cleaners had left our patio doors open all day and there had been a huge storm in the evening. The air con was barely working and we put up with it at best. Our room was right at the back of the hotel which backed on to a karaoke / sports bar. Although this has nothing to do with the hotel, they played music extremely loudly well in to the early hours of the morning which woke both us and the baby on multiple occasions.
The food at the hotel was impressive, we ate only at the main restaurant as we were half board so chose to eat out on a few occasions, we were impressed that if you wanted to, you could swap your dinner option to have lunch at the hotel instead. The staff were always friendly and welcoming at the restaurant.
The issue we had was the fact we stayed half board. This meant our drinks were not included. When we came to leave, we were told our bill was €113. We were shocked as we had only had a couple of drinks in the hotel so couldn’t believe it could be this much money. We asked for a receipt which the hotel provided and they produced all of the receipts for the drinks we had been charged for. When we looked through these, it was clear from the signatures that almost half of the drinks we’d been charged for weren’t drinks that we had consumed. Both myself and my partners birthdays fell on our holiday so we went out for dinner on these dates yet there were drinks receipts from these evenings. I challenged this with staff at reception who said they would look in to it and they agreed some were not us so removed these charges. Unfortunately there were a number that they initially said they wouldn’t be able to remove. I had to provide evidence on my phone of photos I had taken outside of the hotel with timestamps which proved the drinks couldn’t have been us as we were not there for them to remove it. Although the issue was resolved with the hotel, it was such a shame that there had to be such a big argument with the staff to have these removed. We were planning on returning next year with grandparents but now we will think twice about this. The system clearly doesn’t work and we had over €75 removed from our tab of drinks that weren’t ours that we were nearly charged for.
I re attended reception on our final morning to check out after being told the previous day it was all sorted to be given another bill for €79 again for drinks that weren’t ours. Eventually the hotel agreed that we would only pay for the drinks we purchased and ended up paying €38 in total. This has really disappointed our stay and left us with a bitter taste for everything else. Please be warned and check your bills carefully before departing.

Fabulous week , Corfyo restaurant amazing
Best bartender Sakis @ adults pool
Always very efficient and helpful
Enjoyable stay – would recommend!
We had a really great stay at Sentido Apollo Hotel. The entire resort and our room were very clean, and the food was delicious. We'd definitely consider returning!
Large hotel mainly aimed at families
Quite a large complex with multiple accommodation buildings & restaurants. 3 pools & an aqua park for the kids, thankfully there is an adults only pool with a jacuzzi if you want some peace & quiet. The drinks aren’t cheap so maybe consider the all inclusive option. Good choice of food in the main restaurant for breakfast & dinner. Locally there are a number of small bars & restaurants nearby with a number on the beach. The beach is narrow mainly pebbles. A few small supermarkets nearby for essentials . We had a small pool on our terrace but it did not get a lot of use TBH.

Quiet pool, nice drinks, relaxing atmosphere
All in all a great destination for some deep relaxation. Sakis, by the quiet pool, made us feel at home. What a cheerful guy, attentive and ready. As a single couple with no children, this was the highlight of our stay.
