    I stayed here for 5 nights with a Saga group doing the three Ionian Islands tour. It was all incl. Eva in the bar was exceptional. The food, cleaning, room, and outside areas were very good. I have no complaints so can recommend this hotel very highly. If you have a mobility problem be aware that some rooms are well away from the restaurant/reception area and the lift only goes to three floors. I understand that some people complained rightly that they were affected by the noise of the evening entertainment which went on to 11.30pm. The location is on the top of a hill so walking from the hotel could be a problem going back for some people. There is a courtesy bus operated which is of some assistance and the taxis in the area are reasonable I found.

    The hotel is in a beautiful location with stunning views. The swimming pool is huge, spotlessly clean and we mostly had it to ourselves, which was wonderful. The grounds around the hotel are very pretty and well maintained, and our superior room was positioned perfectly to enjoy the views and beautiful sunrises. There are a lot of steps but this didn’t bother us, it was worth it for the views. Unfortunately, the staff at this hotel put a bit of a downer on all of the above. They are so rude. We are polite, courteous people with good manners and all we received in return was grumpy faces, grunts and plain ignorance. We thought we must have done something to offend them and then we read the reviews below and realised others had the same reception! So disappointing. However - A special mention to Eva on the bar who was very friendly and helpful, the waitress in the A La Carte restaurant (didn’t get her name) and the cleaners who were so friendly, said good morning to us every day and did a great job. This is not a 5 star hotel, luckily we got a good deal and I think value for money was ok but I can understand anyone visiting in peak season paying peak prices feeling ripped off. The rooms need some TLC and the food and service are not 5 star. We booked all inclusive. Lunch was good but we ate in Skala 4 nights out of 7 as the buffet was so repetitive and we loved the welcoming hospitality of the local Tavernas (unlike the hotel!!) highly recommend Captains Bar for cocktails and The Old Village & Mi Abeli for fabulous authentic food. We did a Quad Safari in Skala Old Town which was a fantastic way to explore and great fun! We had an amazing holiday but would not return to this hotel.
    Great chilled holiday

    We stayed at the Apostolata for 11 nights mid September and from start to finish thoroughly enjoyed our time at the hotel. We arrived to friendly and helpful Reception staff, and an informative buggy driver on transporting us down to our room, who detailed where everything was. We had a large Superior sea view room with two extra beds (not requested) giving us a lot of space and being on the third floor of our block had amazing sea, and resort/garden views from our balcony. Struggled to understand the showers at first and yes the bottom sheet on the bed could have been bigger but the bedding was spotless and changed every third day along with the towels... more regularly if requested and bed was massive and very comfy. The staff around the hotel were very friendly and helpful, and in the dining room often recommending wine which they thought we would like but also remembering our previous orders. The hotel is 4K out of Skala but up a hill so walking down to Skala could be ok however the return climb would not suit everyone especially in the heat. The welcome Shuttle down to Skala in the care of Pan was timely and who was very informative on the area to newcomers to the service, always remembering with a twinkle in his eye when a hand was required to those entering and leaving the minibus. The taxi rank is just as you approach the main square in Skala with a set fair of 6 euros. All in all a very enjoyable holiday on this lovely island and we have no doubt we will return.
    Multistorey hotel but no lifts
    08 Oct , 2019 JanDymek
    Upon arrival in the hotel the receptionist gave us a room located on the lowest level of the resort, 5 floors below the dining rooms and 7 floors below the reception/street level. In the good old times the hotel must have had a lift, but now the only remaining sign of it is an empty? shaft, permanently blocked on each level. Not a big issue if you're in your twenties, but when you're 65+ years of age, then having to climb 100 plus steps every time you want to access the dining room becomes a problem. Also, the shower in our room was blocked, and when used, the water flooded the bathroom, and partially the living zones (dangerous when you charge your laptop or mobile phone with cables on the floor submerged in the water). The hotel's plumber repaired the fault very quickly, but the room should not have been given to us in the first place, it wasn't ready for occupancy at the time. Not sure why the receptionist selected this particular room for us, the resort was almost empty (end of season) with plenty of vacant rooms available. Definitely not a 5 star hotel.
    Average- rude staff

    This hotel is 100% not a 5* currently however it does have the potential to be. The hotel itself is tired and the rooms need a make over. My biggest bug bearer was the two double beds pushed together! So frustrating as the beds move in the middle of the night. The bed linen is also poor and does not fit the beds. Staff are extremely rude, on numerous occasions we were ignored at reception and we found when you are all inclusive you are not treated well, like a second class citizen which is not how anyone wants to feel when you have paid £1500 on a holiday. The system does not currently work with all inclusive, every time you go the bar they demand your room number and check on a list if you are all inclusive or a paying customer, on occasions they miss-heard our room number and huffed and puffed when we told them we were all inclusive. I have to say the one member or staff who was really friendly was Eva who works in the bar, she would go above and beyond to make sure you had everything you needed which is great. If only all the staff were like Eva! Food is ok, very repetitive however I’d say it’s what you expect from an all inclusive buffet style. Pool area is good and amazing views! The walk back to lunch/room is a bit of a struggle with lots of stairs however I wouldn’t let that put you off going down to the main pool. The shuttle bus into Skala is great, the driver was really friendly and gave us advice on the area and a bit of Greek history. Overall I don’t think we would go back to the hotel or recommend due to the staff and all inclusive process. I would recommend visiting the local town Skala as much as possible the locals are very friendly.
