알리아 팰리스 럭셔리 호텔 앤드 빌라스

Stay was okay but won’t be returning. Me and my friend booked a room with a private pool thinking we could catch a nice tan without leaving our room however the decking prevents the sun from ever hitting the private pool and everyday it was shaded. Unfortunately we went when the weather was pretty bad so it was very cold. I wouldn’t recommend the private pool. The breakfast was quite good but dinner was awful. The pasta and rice was always cold and everything lacked flavour. Also they forget to tell you they don’t provide drinks with it so you have to buy your own drinks each time you go for dinner. Not going to lie the views are amazing and it’s very pretty but what ruins it is there is a pack of dogs waiting outside the rooms and bark and chase you- we complained about this but the dogs are still there, one of them came to the private pool in our room which was quite uncomfortable Staff are mostly okay- the reception staff lack abit of empathy. On our last day we asked if we could check out a couple hours later after 11am as our shuttle didn’t come till 6pm to drop us to the airport and it was raining and cold outside so it wasen’t like we could wait and do anything outside to pass the time but they asked for 55 euros extra. I understand if it was any other day but it means that we have to wait in the reception area for 7 and a half hours. I’ve been to plenty of other hotels who would have been more understanding.

The view was absolutely stunning, however the hotel itself was nice but not 5 star. There was no shower, so I had to hang my head over the bath to wash my hair. When I asked where the gym was, I was brought to a glorified cupboard that was locked all the time. The spa was treatments only and there was very little entertainment. The area itself is beautiful but there is no excursions or things to do and the hotel itself has zero activities or things on either. If you are happy to do absolutely nothing for a week in the middle of no where, with a beautiful view of the sea, it’s probably perfect for you. But crazy money for getting very little in return.

⸻ Great Stay at Alia Hotel Alia Hotel is a beautiful place with amazing views over the town and out to the sea. The staff were friendly, helpful, and very professional. We really enjoyed the food – lots of tasty options to choose from every day. The only minor issue was the bed being a bit too firm for us, but overall, it was a great stay and we’d definitely recommend it.

I generally loved this holiday The scenery and the people/staff were amazing. It was a perfect holiday to relax and catch some sun however at front desk I got told to give a £200 deposit and still have not got it back. That’s the only downfall I could say.

Stayed here for a week mid October and we really enjoyed our stay. The pool area is beautiful and has the most gorgeous sea views. The hotel was very nicely decorated and very relaxing atmosphere. Our room was nicely designed, very clean and had everything we needed in there, iron, kettle etc. We also tried the a la carte menu (which is separate to the buffet area) and the food was to die for! Definitely some of the best food we had that week, so impressed! If you want a good meal and don’t feel like travelling out of the hotel then ask for the a la carte menu. The staff were all helpful and friendly as were the cleaners. The hotel is at the top of a very long hill, however the hotel has a shuttle bus every hour to take you down to the main road or the beach & it can pick you up at certain times. But most nights we ended up getting a taxi which cost €5 from the main road up to alia palace. Only thing I will say is if you have breathing difficulties then to try request a room in the first block on the ground floor. I have a lung condition and we were in the 3rd block and 4 flights of stairs up to our room as there’s no lift. I was offered a different room but stuck with the one I had as preferred the room itself. There is a golf cart at reception and you can get a lift up to your block if he’s there. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend coming here!

My boyfriend and I stayed in the junior suite with private pool, sea side view and although the pool was freezing in our room (it was bound to be in end of season), it was beautiful. We could watch the sunrise from our room, and it was amazing. The hotel itself was always clean, the staff was friendly and always helpful, nothing was ever too much for them. We were all inclusive, and we found that it was worth it. Food was quite repetitive sometimes, but you just change up your choices each day. Always different options, and we found the drinks included were nice and also, strong! We did venture out a few times for food and a mooch around, there is a free shuttle bus to and from the hotel to the village town hourly as it is up a very big hill, but we walked down and back a couple of times, it looks much worse than it is, but would recommend planning your day around the bus drop off and pick up times. The pool bar staff especially were incredible, and were really easy to get along with, and the restaurant staff were polite. Prepare for the cats and dogs around the hotel, the dogs won’t come up to you, but the cats will if you’re eating outside, they don’t beg, they just sit around and are completely harmless. Before coming. I read a few negative reviews about this place, and I was slightly put off about coming here and wanted to change, but I’m so glad we stuck to it. If you come later in the year, I recommend bringing a hoodie and trousers or a blanket for your legs, it gets pretty chilly in the evenings! But they also provide dressing gowns and a blanket on the bed. Oh and the views are stunning, we watched the sunrise, sunset and the moonrise, all from the hotel! We loved it!
