Ignore the naysayers - it's a lovely hotel

Let's bust a few myths about this lovely hotel. Yes, it is all inclusive - but rather than try and make lots of mediocre dishes, they make one choice per meal, very well, augmented by an excellent salad bar and occasional breakfast bonuses like sausages and omelette- still, fussy kids ate everything. The drinks are indeed from Lidl but they're fine. Snacks are all paid for. It's a budget hotel - be realistic, its just not a "pile it high and throw half of it away" type of all inclusive. The rooms are simple, clean and comfortable. We asked for quiet rooms and had a very peaceful stay. They're not all mod cons, but the beds are comfy and there's a wet room shower. Nice balcony, but mostly looking at other balconies! Now let's be clear - the Aircon is extra (7 Euros/night) and you will want it. You can also hire a fan or even just buy a fan and leave it behind - but do the maths - even with Aircon hire it's a bargain hotel. The pool is lovely. It's not huge, but it's got gorgeous views, a shower, and the water is warm and clean. The staff make this place - they'll treat you like family, and although it's not a five star hotel, you'll get five star hospitality from people who are genuinely glad you're there and want you to have a great stay. Finally, on your last day, despite some reports on here, we had free run of the hotel, the pool, the food and drinks right until our pick up came, and they were quite shocked that someone had suggested otherwise. It's located close to the strip and beach but not too close, it's near shops including a great supermarket (try their daily fresh orange juice, it's stunning), and if you don't expect something for nothing, you'll be delighted with Ilios - it's a great find.

Lovely staff hotel very out dated and definitely not all inclusive

On arrival check in was good went to my room very outdated furniture Was suppose to be all inclusive Breakfast was a Buffet menu which consisted of Tomatoes Cucumber Ham Feta cheese olives cereal Yogurt Bread and Jam Lunch was buffet style starter same as breakfast You have to go to your table with your room number and then your given 1 set meal no options And the same for dinner No snacks through out the day only crisps of which you have to pay for Aircon is payable at a rate of 7 Euros per day Overall staff are lovely and 1 in particula the blond dutch lady on reception who went above and beyond on my departure as my transfer back to the Airport never arrived she did her best and got me a taxi

Hotel ilios avoid unless you go room only

DONT GO THERE All inclusive isn't all inclusive its more like full board with very limited drinks available food is very limited breakfast is limited same every day food is almost inedible no choice and such poor quality or holiday resulted in eating out every dinner and tea although the staff are fantastic rooms are basic but cleaned every day pool is nice drinks available at pool bar lager from cans into plastic cups we were allowed to bring our own mixers as only pop from lidl was supplied I personally would not recommend going with children no snacks or food for children but each to there own
