Fantastic family holiday...special mention to the brilliant entertainment team!
We’ve just returned from another fantastic stay at Arina Beach and had an absolutely brilliant family holiday.
The resort itself is excellent. Everything was spotlessly clean, the pools and water slides were a huge hit with the kids, and having the beach right on the doorstep was perfect. Our room was lovely and all of the staff we met were friendly, welcoming and incredibly hard-working. The food also deserves a mention. It was varied, fresh and dangerously tasty. I went away with every intention of showing at least a little restraint, but the buffet had other ideas. By about day three I’d accepted that breakfast, lunch, dinner and the occasional “I’ll just have a look” snack were all going to be full meals, and probably with dessert. Absolutely worth it.
The biggest highlight for us, though, was the entertainment team...particularly Michelle and Kieran. They were absolutely fantastic and our girls, Ayla and Mali, loved them. They seemed to have a completely unreasonable amount of energy from morning until night. As a rapidly ageing dad of two who still likes to believe he’s much younger than he actually is, watching them bouncing around all day and then somehow still having energy for the evening entertainment was both impressive and slightly depressing.
More importantly, they were just brilliant with the children. They remembered them, chatted to them, involved them in everything and made them feel genuinely special. It never felt forced or over the top – they just seemed to really enjoy what they were doing. Michelle and Kieran added a huge amount to our holiday and are a real credit to the hotel. A special mention too for Sugar, who did a henna tattoo for Ayla. She was lovely with her and incredibly talented. Ayla absolutely loved it and was very proud of it for the rest of the holiday.
Overall, Arina Beach is a superb family resort. Great facilities, great food, a brilliant location and, most importantly, some genuinely lovely people working there. We had a fantastic week and would happily come back – although next time I may need to train for both the buffet and the entertainment schedule in advance.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An amazing stay from start to finish!
We have had the most wonderful holiday at Arina Beach Resort and honestly can’t fault it. The resort itself is absolutely beautiful, the food has been amazing with so much choice, and every single member of staff has been exceptional. From the cleaners and restaurant staff to the entertainment team, everyone works so hard and has made our stay so special.
A huge thank you in particular to Panagiotis, Michalis and Adonis at the bar. They were fantastic throughout our holiday, always friendly, welcoming and making sure we had a drink without us even needing to ask! They quickly remembered our usual orders and always made us feel so well looked after. They really added to our evenings and we’ll miss them!
We also have to mention Alaiza, who was an absolute pleasure. She always greeted us with a lovely smile, kept our table spotless and made sure we had everything we needed.
What really stands out about this resort is the staff. There is such a warm, friendly atmosphere and nothing ever seems too much trouble. You can tell how hard everyone works to make sure guests have a fantastic holiday.
We’ve made some brilliant memories here and are genuinely sad to be leaving. A beautiful resort, amazing food and, most importantly, exceptional people. We would absolutely recommend it and would love to return. ❤️🇬🇷
Massage
Dina was extremely professional from start to finish. Her professionalism came through immediately and did a truly relaxing massage. Felt really relaxed when it was finished. The care she showed to ensure the experience was a good one could not be faulted. Thank you so much Dina.
