Tsilivi Beach Hotel

We have just returned from tsilivi beach hotel, our 4th visit over the last 7 years.

Both my wife and I and our son and daughter-in-law had a truly fantastic holiday, nothing has changed except that the hotel is now all inclusive, but the food cannot be faulted, anything that you could wish for is on the menu at all mealtimes, plenty of wine beer and soft drinks etc. The staff are some of the best we have come across (the reason we keep going back )Maria/Gina/Annastasia in reception really friendly and helpful. Hari/Andy/Anreas in the bar are superb, cocktails all day long (hic) although all incl we never waited more than 4/5 mins to get served. And not forgetting Dennis the owner always around.Our thanks to all of them we will def be back next year, would reccomend this hotel to everyone, and best bit it sits right on the beach, you can sit out there at night with your drinks watching the stars. Great.

Have just returned from our holiday at Tsilivi Beach Hotel, and i have to say my friend and I really enjoyed it. The food was excellent, quite a good range of dishes. The staff were very efficient and friendly, and the pool and beach were great. Think the only downfall is the entertainment, they have kareoke, bingo and a race night, but they do seem to cater for the children, with pool games in the afternoon and kids disco early evening. I was a bit apprehensive going there again since its been made all inclusive, but i needn't have worried, we thouroughly enjoyed ourselves and would go back again. Went there twice before when it was self catering a few years ago, and loved it then, and still do!

Just returned from Tsilivi beach ,our first time here also first time A/I.Plenty of food but mostly same choices each day we would personally prefer to eat out in restaurants but thats our choice,there were good restaurants around & enjoyable. The location was perfect we had a room with a sea view which was great ,the areas were clean ,2 lovely pools ,staff very pleasant ,rooms cleaned 6days week with fresh clean towels etc only short stroll to the bars & restaurants of Tsilivi.Weather was good few clouds here & there & rained for about 10 mins other than that hot.We enjoyed it and would return.

i booked the holiday for myself and husband for a nice relaxing break. lets start at the top, lovely view from hotel room, room was nicely furnished, beds were like bricks, reception very tastful, reception staff were lazy and everything seemed too much trouble.

entertainment was ok, bingo and karaoke, bingo and sumthing else, bingo and another sumthing else, soo you needed to like bingo.

the bar staff were the moniest two idiots i have ever come across, the head bar man was a gent.

there were lots and lots of different nationalities there, not a lot of british at the beginning of the holiday, but some soon turned up, and it seemed to become a bit livlier.

the hotel was right on the beach which you had to pay 3 euro for a sunlounger, which was worth it as the pool was full of germans.

the beach was a little stoney but generally clean

the food was the most disgusting pig swill i have ever ever seen.

breakfast was passable, lunch was leftover breakfast in a egg dish, dinner was breakfast, lunch made into stew or crap like that.

the meat they served did not taste of anything, yet the odd passer by paying customer's food was beautiful

we had to pay and eat out at a restaurant, we went to popeye's and it was fantastic. all staff were lovely accommodating and extremly kind.

so if you do like pig swill this is the place for you, it wasnt a place for me. we wont be returning to this hotel ever again.

My comments about Tsilivi Beach Hotel are very favourable, the hotel was clean, staff very friendly and helpful, rooms basic as is all Greece food was good and varied had a really lovely holiday met some really nice people. Would go back

and I have been all over the world

We have previously been to the Tsilivi Beach Hotel and had great holidays, we were however apprehensive this year with the 'All Inclusive' situation, especially after reading some of the reviews.

We travelled with our two children and my parents and our worries soon vanished on arrival. We were greeted by very friendly reception staff and went straight to our rooms that were spacious and clean as always. The bar staff were fun and friendly throughout the holiday to us all and we all had a good selection of drinks during the holiday including beer, wine, cocktails and soft drinks. There was also a good selection of food available that we all enjoyed and our children ate better than ever eating a wide variety of food.

The entertainment is poor with only the Greek Night once a week but with the town nearby this was not a problem for us.

The hotel is in an excellent location with two lovely pools and is on the beach with the town a short walk away, we found the 'All Inclusive' suited us as a family and have already booked for next year.

Overall we had an excellent holiday!

I returned form Tsilivi Beach Hotel on the 8th June after 2 weeks with my family (8 adults and 2 children).

GOOD: The rooms and hotel were clean, friendly staff in the restaurant and bar, next to the beach, nice pool with plenty of sun loungers.

BAD: Food was awfull and i mean awfull- it was the same food everyday from breakfast till evening meal, the food was either luke warm or cold and even if it was warmish it was cold by the time u sat down to eat it! The reception staff where as good use as a chocolate fire guard! When we arrived it was really stuffy in our room so we went to reception to query about it, they gave us a remote control however this didn't seem to work whatsoever! So then we decided to inform reception, a man told us that 4 rooms in the hotel had no air con, we asked when it was gonna be fixed and all he said was 'they come today maybe tomorrow- IT WAS ACTUALLY 3 DAYS AFTER WE ARRIVED AT THE HOTEL- DISGUSTING!!!!! The entertainment was not so good either! In 1 week they were only 3 nights where they was entertainment, karoke, greek night and a couple doing a cabaret, this repeated in week 2! however on week 2 they was no karoke (not that i care) but thay was a wedding that sunday night and thay was no information about it whatsoever! The wedding what went on was a evening reception which was held outside, they were playing music till 1:30 am! and it clearly states in the hotel that no noise is to be made after midnight so that rattled my cage! My brother infact rang reception at 00:30 asking when this was gonna stop, the man on reception said soon and put the phone down, my brother was very angry and went down to reception to tell the man how rude he was and to get his manager which he replied i don't know where he is, like i said finally at 1:30 this noise stopped. What ever you do don't buy anything from the hotel supermarket especially if its a lilo, etc. My brother bought my neice a blow up chair for the pool which cost 20 euros, 24 hours later this had gone down and had no more use at all, they are plenty of shops in and around Tsilivi where you can get the same thing for 8 euros! The shop is a rip off!

Anyway if your thinking of going to this hotel think again, i spent most of my money on eating out as the food was that bad and i would have rather eaten in a prison!

Finally what ever you do don't book your excursions through your rep, they charge a over the odds and you can get any excursions if you look around Tsilivi.

TSILIVI IS A NICE RESORT AND THE PEOPLE ARE NICE TOO BUT DON'T STOP AT THE TSILIVI BEACH HOTEL BECAUSE TRUST ME I WAS THRILLED TO BE HOME!!!!!!!

It is interesting to see the majority of the reviews are for self catering or half board. 2008 is the first year Tsilivi Beach has been all inclusive: and it shows. The hotel, in particualry the catering side of things, is not ready to be all inclusive. The quality and range of food is pretty average. The staff work incredibly hard but it becomes pretty frustrating when tables are not even set. You need to get all your cutlery, condiments etc. These are the basics you expect from an all inclusive. The hotel itself, the pool area and the Boat House Taverna are excellent. There is very little for children, very little entertainment and the play climbing frame for children was dangerously broken and propped up with a piece of wood!!It is just a pity that these things let it down. If you are used to all inclusive don't expect the world, it is a good budget alternative though.

Everything was fantastic,i.e hotel,room,food,pools,beach,beer,surounding area entertainment, and above all the FANTASTIC staff. my self and my family will be re-turning to tsilivi beach hotel. 10/10

The hotel is very nice, right by the beach and MOST of the staff are very friendly,especially the Albanian guys who work in the bar/restaurant. Rooms are quite good and kept clean, however we were in one of the rooms right by the beach and at night you could count the rats running about outside the room from the balcony, this may have been cleared up by now but thought I would warn you what to expect.

Other than that we had a great holiday in Tsilivi.
