Pateo Village

We had a great holiday here. Although it was 3* we found the place to be lovely. The staff were friendly and professional. The grounds, swimming pool areas are clean and inviting, with plenty of sunloungers. As this was late September there were very few visitors,so the place was very peaceful. Our apartment was on the first floor at the far end of the complex and It was very spacious. The front balcony overlooked the pool area where we saw amazing sun sets and the back balcony overlooked gardens and we saw beautiful sunrises. The apartment is slightly dated but the beds were comfy and there were two bed settees in the lounge area. The kitchen has a cooker , fridge and microwave. No washing machine or dishwasher. The bathroom has a bath with shower and a hair dryer. There is a small cafe by the pool for snacks and drinks, but think it closes around 4pm. There's a tiny shop by reception but just down the road a small supermarket which is well stocked. On the main road(dual carriageway)turn left to a massive Lid. The hotel is in a hilly area but you can walk down hill into the Old Town in 15/20 minutes. You can Uber back - Ubers are very cheap out here . The only issue we had were a few ants in the apartment but this was quickly sorted by the cleaners and they left us an ant killer spray in case the pesky creatures returned.But they didn't. All in all we thought our Easijet holiday was great

Went here for a girls trip in June and wasn’t sure what to expect due to the different reviews.

Staff- 3/5 = When we got there it was apparent they didn’t trust us and asked for the €100 deposit per person straightaway. We were already aware we would need to pay it so we weren’t surprised but the woman wasn’t the most welcoming. The man who works there however was lovely, when we checked out he didn’t check our rooms before giving our desposit back as it was apparent he trusted us and put the England game on for us in the reception room as we waited for our transfer.

Rooms- 3/5= Honestly the rooms aren’t bad at all and it’s a 3 star hotel so I don’t know what some people expect. The air conditioning works well, the bathroom was really clean and kitchen was equipped with necessities. The only thing I would say is that the rooms are a proper key, not a key card so I felt a bit unsafe as the locks were quite rusty but they assured us it was a safe area and we never had trouble. The wifi doesn’t work in the rooms, only really outside by the pool area which was quite annoying. Housekeeping are meant to come 5 days out of 7 I believe and you have to pay extra for them to come every day (i think this is quite tight) but in the 7 days we were there I think they only came 3 times which was annoying as we filled up the bin within a day (it is small and there was 5 of us).

Atmosphere- 2/5= When we went it was a mixture of families and young people but i would say it was 80% young brits and it was very loud. When we checked into our rooms we were told that being loud would result in warnings and could result in us being kicked out however that is evidently not enforced and everyone was shouting from their balconies every night and blasting music which was quite annoying. I wouldn’t recommend this place to families because of it.

Pool- 5/5= I read reviews saying the pool was freezing and dirty…it’s not. It was a good temperature and clean. The indoor pool was really nice aswell and the jacuzzi aswell.

Food/drink- 4/5= The food was decent and drinks were good aswell. I think cocktails were €9 so I don’t think that’s too bad.

Location- 4/5= The location is great other than the fact it is a very steep hill to get to the old town but we already knew this and just got ubers (which are so cheap and easy to get!)

Overall I still think it is a bit overpriced for what we paid for June but it was clean and was an alright place to stay and for young people I think it’s good.
