Galini Palace Resort Hotel - All Inclusive

8/10 Good
"The room was cleaned daily with fresh towels. However when we arrived our shower had a leak and this wasn’t fixed until the night before we checked out. So 4 nights of a dripping shower The pool was clean and the pool beds too, We had a shared pool which was nice and private. The food was so good, limited choices but even those choices - the food never tasted bad at all. However the restaurant itself was definitely not the best. The staff were a bit slow tending to tables. Service at the restaurant wasn’t as consistent. The gym had good well maintained equipment. We never got to check out the sauna or steam room properly as they had been switched off nor the indoor pool which was too cold for me ( they did warn us about the indoor pool as well ) But they looked clean and well maintained However nowhere on the hotel description is it stated you have to pay daily to use the safe or that you have to pay use those pool beds with curtains or that you have to pay for the beach beds which there’s only about 10 of them. Overall we had a good little break at the resort. It was lovely weather lovely food. Ohh and the water slides were definitely nice and it too in your face either."

Blue Dome Hotel

8/10 Good
"Property location was right on the beach which was perfect. Breakfast was plentiful, served to you, with a number of selections in addition to only 1 egg option which changed daily. Room was clean but dated. Kitchenette consisted of a small bar fridge and 2 cooking elements. A microwave would have been great. Bathroom amenities were minimal - a tiny piece of soap and an all purpose shampoo/shower gel. Better quality and more would have been nice. No issue with shower pressure. A little confused about the room cleaning schedule - not everything cleaned/ changed everyday. Nothing done on Sunday. Would have been nice just to have the garbages changed everyday and towels every other day. Gym is bare minimum - not worth paying extra money to stay here just to have access to it. No issue with getting umbrellas on the beach - no extra charge. Parking immediately by the hotel for around 8-10 vehicles - there is a private lot very close that the hotel can use, owned by one of the restaurants but it gets locked so accessing may be difficult when the restaurant is not open. For the price we paid, we would probably look elsewhere next time."
