DIT Evrika Beach Club Hotel

I have titled this as honest review because when I'm booking holidays I rely a lot on what people have written. We travelled as a party of 5, with one child aged 10. The positives: - Private beach (although please note, people who are not staying at the hotel are able to use the sunbeds which they are charged for. We was fortunate enough to always find enough beds for the 5 of us, but not sure where you'd stand on taking priority over those who are not staying at the hotel. - Good location, the hotel is located directly on a lively strip of shops, food places, supermarkets, bars and restaurants. - Waterpark, was ideal for keeping our 10year old entertained. - Cleanliness, the hotel and rooms were kept clean and at one point there was a broken glass window which was dealt with very quickly, the panel was replaced and glass removed within the hour. - A la carte, there is the option of booking 3 restaurants during your stay which we did for two of them and both were very pleasant. - The staff throughout the hotel were polite, friendly and helpful. - Bars, there are several bars in the hotel and we never had to wait too long before being served. The negatives (sounds harsh, more things we were less happy with) - Food, personally we didn't feel it was the kind of quality you would expect for a 4* hotel, there were often long waiting times for 'popular' foods to be replenished and the staff in the restaurant took quite long to clear away finished plates and cutlery. - Pool, the pool itself was actually great but if you are looking to get a sunbed around the pool area be prepared to set an alarm early to claim them. We went to the pool area one morning at 6.45 and the majority of the beds by this time already had towels on them. - Drinks, there were rather limited choices on the menu for cocktails which we expected more for a 4* all inclusive hotel. - Rooms, besides from being clean and spacious there were no additional qualities, no coffee/ tea making facility (which isn't a huge issue, but most hotels do provide this) and on arrival you are given one bottle of water for your stay (again, not a huge issue as there are plenty of shops and 2 on the grounds of the hotel, but again for a 4* would expect a little more) - Quiet pool, unless we missed another pool somewhere within the grounds the pool shown in the pictures are for premium guests only, which we wasn't given an option for or notified about, only we noticed upon passing to go to the beach. - Wi-fi, please be aware the network for the wi-fi IS NOT SECURE. So its advisable to refrain from using anything where personal data is needed and is also quite slow, unless you're a premium guest. - Entertainment, was a lot to be desired. We often created our own entertainment as it seemed quite repetitive. On another note, the beach was lovely, the sand does get quite hot but that is to be expected given the hot weather, (not necessarily a negative) but just to be wary that during our stay the sea was swamped with jelly fish and seaweed. (Not an issue of the hotel, but just a mention) All in all it was a great break, some things I would say need to be improved especially as a 4* star, which I know I have mentioned a few times. It's not a hotel that set alarm bells ringing and people should avoid, because that just isnt the case just some small improvements could make this hotel a lot better.

We went as a family, with 2 teenagers aged 13 and 16, and had 2 rooms (typical that the kids got the larger room ). I was worried after reading some reviews, but couldn't fault the food - regularly brought out fresh supplies and plenty of choice. Italian restaurant worth booking. Evening entertainment was hit and miss - dance/music shows were fun, comedy sketch show not worth going to - was amazed how many people walked away after less than 10 mins. Standard of cleanliness was high. Pools good, but cold. Having dedicated loungers on beach was a bonus. Sunny Beach is very busy and commercialised, not a relaxing resort.

Every night it stated there would be late dancing on the board and nothing for a family hotel there was not enough in the evenings for our children ranging from 2-12 in age. Everyone at the hotel agreed this should be addressed.
