Adele Beach

We are here now and there for is great, rooms beautiful and clean, good air con and very relaxing. Unfortunately we are beach people that's why we booked this hotel and I didn't see any negatives so booked it happily. Unfortunately the beach is shingle which on all the photos it looks sand and you need to wear the sea shoes or it hurts your feet, we tried to go in once and the large stones which we thought were sand were so slippery my husband fell into the sea twice, we saw old people being helped out of the sea and it was difficult to get out of the water as you sank into the shingle, we thought it was so dangerous. So we have spent the week by the pool. So great if you are not interested in the beach, which is a shame as its right on it. The bus no. 20 which is 2 euros takes you into town which is massive and bustling and tons of shops and restaurants and nightlife but the bus is always heaving and you never get a seat and they squeeze as many people on. But its 40 euros for a taxi or 70 both ways which is a more pleasant journey. Lovely restaurant opposite hotel which we went to twice as liked to try meals at night time. Oh the hotel baklava was the best I ever tasted. Nice cocktails by the beach bar too.

We visited the Adele beach hotel in June for 2 weeks all inclusive holiday. We arrived about 10pm, missed the evening dinner but given a small packed meal which was supposed to see us through to the morning. Check in was easy and the night manager was very welcoming and he showed us to our room through the lovely gardens. Our room was fine, if a little small with very limited cupboards for hanging clothes but the room had a garden view which was nice. Our room was on the first floor and the steps were quite steep, maybe ask for a garden room if you have difficulty climbing stairs. Breakfast had a good selection of fruits, salads and cooked eggs etc. Pool area was nice but the pool tiling needs a good clean around the edge of the pool ,because scum had started to collect here. Plenty of sun beds and covering and no need to put your towels out but you still get the crazy people who feel the need to be out at 6am claiming there rights to there little piece of Greece! Taking 4 beds instead of 2. 2 on the beach and 2 by the pool. The pool lifeguard could help control this problem. The sun-beds on the beach were always available and quite comfortable. Our major bugbear was the beach, or lack of it! When you book and it says beach right outside as you go through the pool area, it’s misleading. It isn’t that sandy or pebbles. It’s more like builders rubble that has been ground down. So uncomfortable to walk on quite difficult to walk into the sea due to large slippy rocks. I twisted my knee on the first day and took over a week to heal. This probably isn’t a hotel issue more like a council issue. There was a lot of plastic rubbish on the beach which should be cleaned on a daily basis as they do in Spanish resorts. So for us that was a big let down and misleading by Tui to advertise it as a lovely beach. The staff are always helpful and friendly and do there best to make sure you have a good time . Food was a little repetitive after 2 weeks but this can happen in most hotels. There was always something you could find but choice was a little limited In general, for the price it is a budget hotel and this needs to be taken into consideration when you book. If you are used to slightly higher standards then don’t book and choose a higher rated hotel with a lovely beach! It would also be good for Tui to advertise the fact you will have to pay 14 nights tourist tax if you stay for 2 weeks. In a lot of resorts the maximum only appears to be 7 nights. Just something to take into consideration when budgeting your holiday. Would we return? No, too many negative things which would put us off.

We enjoyed our week here. It's not a large hotel with huge facilities, but what it does it does very well. The pool is actually fine, despite some reviews to the contrary and the sunbed sets on the beach are fine. These are free to Adele Beach guests and where the beds are situated it's sandy. However, the beach generally is shingle and sand shoes are recommended. The beach has water sports available from a nearby supplier - jet skis etc., not free, of course, but plenty of options. The restaurant food was really very good, with lots of choices and benefits from self serve wine, beer and other hot and cold drinks. Our room was 612, a partial sea view, and it had the sun on the balcony in the morning and at the rear of the balcony in the afternoon. This was early July when the sun was high in the sky. The room had reasonable storage, not necessarily all cupboard space, but using a long open rail. We managed to store all our stuff without issue. The bathroom was perhaps a tad on the small size but perfectly adequate for a couple. As was the room, not the largest we have ever stopped in, but again perfectly acceptable for a couple. Also, the housekeeping was good and kept the room, which was very clean, in top condition. The room was in a quiet location, but then again I wouldn't describe this property as noisy in any event. The hotel is within easy walking distance of bars, shops, restaurants and supermarkets which are located nearby in this small resort area. We liked the Adele Beach and can recommend to others looking for a relaxing holiday.
