Elissa Lifestyle Resort

İstrio bar staff were the highlight of our stay. A huge thank you to Thanasis, Panos, Dimitris, and Michalis for making our time at the hotel bar so memorable! You were all incredibly friendly, welcoming, and so much fun. Your great service, laughter, and positive energy created an amazing atmosphere.

We thoroughly enjoyed our all inclusive stay here. Room- Rooms were spotlessly clean, we had a swim up pool which you share with a few other rooms. We only had to share the pool for about 20 minutes the whole week as there are many other pools dotted around the resort. Mini bar in the room for dinks is well stocked and they come round to replenish each evening. You can also order room service for free until 11pm, after that there's a small delivery charge. Dining- Multiple dining options with the main buffet area for breakfast, lunch or evening meal. Huge variety of food with choices rotated each evening so it doesn't become boring. There are also snacks available at the poolside bars, burgers, pizzas, wraps etc. I loved the truffle mushroom pizza, they were all freshly made and excellent quality. The drinks are excellent and the spirits are high quality not the no name brands you usually get with all inclusive. As well as the buffet you get the fine dining restaurants which are incredible, I highly recommend booking on the app 3 days before you get there as they fill up fast. They have added 2 more restaurants this week so it may be easier to book now. We tried the Asian restaurant, the Indian restaurant and the steak restaurant and they were all fantastic. Pools- There are multiple pools around the property so if one is busy you can move to another. The wait staff will also bring you food and drink to your sun lounger if you want. In addition they have a private beach area as well but we never went there. I've stayed at a few nice all inclusive resorts but the thing that stands out about this one is the level of service the staff provide. The waiters remember your drink orders and how you like your coffee. I forgot to pack my toothbrush and the cleaning staff provided me with one within a minute of me mentioning it. I wanted to go to the supermarket 500 yards up the road and the front desk staff not only took me there on a golf cart, but waited for me to bring me back! I honestly wondered if this is how feels to be famous, all the staff were so nice and they bent over backwards to accommodate your requests and make sure you had a fantastic holiday.

Amazing hotel but even more amazing staff! So friendly and kind, made our stay even better! 10/10 service. Special thanks to Thanasis, Panos, Dimitris and Michalis! You guys were amazing!
