Amazing hotel!! Really enjoyed my stay! The room was clean, the staff were friendly, and the spa and wellness services was great—super relaxing. Would definitely stay here again.
I would highly recommend Katia. My partner and I had the shoulder, back, and neck massage, and it was fantastic. Katia was professional and skilled. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great massage.
The Aelius Hotel & Spa was amazing, everyone is so friendly and the staff are great!
Arrival of the hotel you are greeted by staff who welcome you to the hotel. The view as soon as you enter is unreal!
We stayed in the premium double room which was clean, exciting and lovely place to be in.
Next I think we will try the Sensus experience as well worth it.
Food is great with a buffet as standard if you book half board or all inclusive.
Be sure to check out the Hotel Wellness Spa Services. Me and my partner went for a body, shoulder & head massage which was a 10/10!! Emma - Massage therapist - was lovely and definitely helped me relax through the process.
Katia - Amy's massage therapist was very good too and helped Amy relax and loosen up!
Will be back soon.
