Aphrodite Beach Hotel

Aphrodite Beach Hotel isn't just somewhere to stay. It's somewhere to breathe, heal, reflect, and remember what really matters. I arrived exhausted from the craziness of Johannesburg and am leaving feeling lighter, calmer, and more alive. Waking up to the sound of waves rolling onto the shore, birds singing in the trees, a gentle breeze through the leaves, and even the cheerful clucking of happy hens has been therapy in itself. I've spent my days gazing across the beautiful hills of Neo Chorion, swimming in some of the clearest, most breathtaking water imaginable, star gazing at the beautiful night sky and enjoying fresh, healthy food prepared with care. What makes this place truly special is its charm and authenticity. It feels less like a hotel and more like a home away from home. Watching the owner tending the herb garden perfectly captures the spirit of the place —simple, genuine, and deeply connected to nature. The family who run the hotel are warm, welcoming, and completely dedicated to making every guest feel cared for. Their kindness and commitment shine through in every detail. If you're looking for a place to reconnect with yourself, find peace, and truly slow down, Aphrodite Beach Hotel is a rare gem. Highly recommended for anyone seeking tranquillity, natural beauty, and heartfelt hospitality.

Another visit to our favourite hotel. We have been visiting for 12 years now, it feels so homely to us, there is no settling in, we are greeted like family and all my everyday stresses just melt away as I walk through the reception doors. There is always something new to experience and enjoy, we often meet others who are regular visitors too. On this visit we stayed in a suite, something we had never experienced before. My husband began videoing as we walked in (before I had time to make a mess) and put it on our family WhatsApp group. The suite was pure luxury with an open view overlooking the sea. Everything was perfect, the bed, the décor, the large bathroom with both bath and shower and not least our own private, secluded patio with outside furniture. It was amazing! We were a little early in the year and the weather was quite changeable but we had a wonderful holiday. The spring flowers were beautiful, we did a lot of walking in the countryside and photographed a large number of fauna and flora. The hotel orchard was full of fruit, colour, fragrant aromas and buzzing bees. The meals were delicious, I love the buffet. The daily choice is endless, both the mains and desserts. I was very cheeky one day and asked the chef if he had any plans to make rice pudding, I told him that it was my favourite and I was delighted when a couple of days later it appeared on the dessert table.

We are locals and travel around the island a lot. We chose this hotel because a blogger recommended it as a family-run place. We thought that would be a sign of quality and something special. We were very wrong. I will never return to this hotel. Rooms: grey, empty, like a hospital. There are only two glasses. No drinking water is provided. The nearest shop is 2 km away. If you don’t have a car, the only way to buy water is at the hotel bar. There’s no tea, coffee, or kettle. Breakfasts are very basic. You won’t get poisoned, but there’s zero enjoyment. There is no sign of hospitality from the owner anywhere. We stayed during the Easter holidays. There was a group from Europe at the hotel. Despite this, there wasn’t a single sunbed on the beach—just a couple of broken chairs. The beach taverna was closed and covered in rubbish. Everything felt abandoned. There is no pool. No music or entertainment. The lobby furniture is 20 years old—and no, it’s not antique. For children: only one swing. Staff: all employees are from Asia, no locals. This suggests the owners don’t want to pay fair wages and instead bring in workers in exchange for accommodation and food. The only thing the owner seems to care about is reviews. So here is mine: stay away from this place. The room cost us 91.27, and we were charged every last cent. Believe me, for this money you’ll be much more welcome at other hotels and get far better service and positive emotion!
