Ardavani Hotel

Having stayed in September 2019 for 2 weeks as 2 disabled guests, this hotel was more than adequate for our needs. Spotlessly clean everywhere. Room was perfect. Breakfast and food from the menu was lovely. Amazing staff work so hard and are so welcoming to make your holiday great. They all work so hard with long hours. Big thanks to Evan the owner who greets you with a big smile and a chat each day. Thanks to the bar manager Stavros, staff Natalie and Jerry who are a great double act, all the cleaning staff including our maid klaudia. We will definitely return to this hotel in 2022. Perfect hotel and a perfect holiday so many thanks.

I visited the hotel for one week.The hotel is ideally placed in the centre of the quiet village of Lourdata. It is within 10 minutes walk of the beach and most of the many fine tavernas and bars. We had a very warm reception when we arrived. The hotel is immaculately clean with a very nice pool and bar area. Our room was excellent too, with a sea view. All of the people who worked there are very welcoming, courteous, friendly and gave us very helpful information about the area. The service was of a very high standard, as was the food and drinks. We would particularly like to thank Natali and Gerry who helped to make our holiday that little extra special. Highly recommended for couples in particular.

Lourdas is a quiet resort but with enough good tavernas along the seafront and up the hill. The hotel is well placed, the walk up to the nearest taverna is only 10 minutes and not too strenuous, the walk back up from the beach is very steep, but we used the short-cut past Lorraine's Magic Hill, which comes out by the supermarket, still steep in places, but more of a pleasant walk. I would highly recommend the little taverna next door if you don't want to walk too far. The hotel is of a very good standard and well kept. We were in the new B block, which has 'boutique' style modern rooms and a lovely balcony with fantastic views all around, and flowers growing either side, which gave us privacy from neighbours, although we felt it lacked any comfortable seating, with only one small hard chair and concrete seating at the side, which really needed some cushions. The bathroom facilities in the room were somewhat strange, the sink was in the room itself, as was the shower, which was only screened by glass (not the frosted type!) and gave you no privacy. The worst part was that the toilet also had a completely see through glass door, which we were not comfortable with. I cannot understand why you would put a glass door on a toilet? The breakfast was adequate, but very repetitive, it was almost exactly the same for the whole ten days. Also the toaster needs replacing, as it barely toasted. The staff on the whole were pleasant, but could have been more friendly and seemed to lack any customer relations . On arrival we were not greeted or made to feel welcome, our taxes were promptly taken and we were shown to our room by someone who turned out to be the owner, without a word barely being spoken. We had drinks at the bar on a few occasions, the cocktails were good, but the bar was quiet and lacked any atmosphere. From around 5pm music was played quite loudly from the bar, which was ok, apart from Abba being played constantly on loop at times!! On the whole a good holiday and I would recommend this hotel and the resort.
