Ioli Village in Pefkohori

Our 2nd visit here. Basic accommodation which is absolutely fine for us. We love the pool and the bar. Krista is amazing. We spend more time chatting at the bar than swimming in the pool. We will absolutely be back as this is now our yearly girls break. Thank you for taking care of us Krista xx

Visited in June 2024 and September 2025 with some friends. The rooms are basic but this isn’t a problem as you are out most of the time. The best part of the hotel is the pool area and the lovely Krista who works behind the bar. Friendly and makes the best cocktails! Already planning our trip for 2026

Booked this hotel with jet2, we were very worried after seeing so many negative reviews. But pleasantly surprised. You get what you pay for at the end of the day. A holiday for a family of 4 for £1200 it was great value for money. Room was clean, bedding changed during our stay. Fresh towels twice, pool area was lovely and nice staff. Reception staff were also very helpful, would definitely go back. Great place to stay if you want to go out and explore. Also food and drinks around the pool were very reasonably priced.

If you have high expectations of apartments in another country, this one isn't for you. It is described as a budget hotel and that is exactly what you get. As a family, we only wanted something that was clean and suitable to sleep in at night and that is exactly what we got. Air con only in one room and didnt move throughout the hotel, however it worked well and kept us cool at night. We did ask for a fan as an extra, which we had to pay 20 euros for the whole week. Staff were friendly, yet direct and were clear on expectations of the hotel. Took a while for the hot water to come through, but patience is all that is needed. Pool was fantastic, great music and variety of food and drink available to order from the bar. Bedding was clean and is changed every 3 days (cleaning staff do not work on a Sunday). For what we paid, we have no complaints.

Make no mistake, this is a budget hotel. It is back from the beach in a side street. It was built, at a guess, thirty years back. Accommodation consists of 3 storey blocks of apartments in an older courtyard, and one more recent block. The place is not set up for disabled access. They might have rooms a wheelchair could get to OK, but you couldn't get to reception. The pool is perfectly fine. It is clean, has a bar with a basic food menu. There are loungers and an adequate supply of umbrellas. Like almost everywhere else in town someone seemed to have decided that by being there you have consented to having loud music played at you. The music is modern house/trance stuff not hits of the last 50 years. One day I tried using the pool it was so loud as to be a form of torture. The other day it was merely obtrusive and unnecessary. But I'm too old to be the target audience, though you'd have to ask a 20-something if they liked it. Maybe they wouldn't even notice. We didn't eat in the hotel, so can't give a verdict on that. We found the staff, pleasant, attentive, and responsive. When we asked for something we got it within minutes, and with a smile. All the reception staff have basic English, one lady was fluent. We had a sitting room and a bedroom, and a shower. It says it is self catering, which is fine if you can cook everything you need on 2 rings. It would make sense if they provided a dish scrubber, some washing up liquid, a cleaning cloth, but they don't. The fridge was large enough and seemed to work fine. We found the hotel WiFi worked on the balcony but not inside. My UK smarty SIM worked fine to get around that, without it things could have been annoying. The room was clean, as was the shower. I descaled the shower head, after which twice as much water came out, but that happens at home! The rubbish was removed frequently, the bed sheets and towels were changed every 3 days, and were great. Far better service than I expected or indeed needed. The room did not have A/C, which did not shock me given what we paid. Although the days were 30+ we didn't find the room hot for sleeping, and a couple of nights were chilly, so in our case A/C was not an issue. I gather some rooms have it, and if it had been a heatwave in August, we might have been less happy. If you intend to spend your days renting loungers by the sea you may find it expensive. And in many cases bloody noisy. Most hotels and bars have a lounger area by the sea, but a couple has to spend 40 or 60 euros or more to stay there for the day. That gets you 2 or 3 drinks plus lunch, so not all bad. If you go out on day 1 and buy a beach umbrella and even seats or lilos you can join the locals on the beach itself, without the music, and save a fortune.

After reading the negative reviews on TripAdvisor I was thinking we had made a mistake booking there. After 2 weeks there I can't find a bad thing to say about loli village. The staff are brilliant at all levels the room was spacious and clean and a better location to explore the area can't be found
