Odyssia Beach Hotel

We spent two weeks in Odyssia Beach Hotel in Late July and Early August. Most guests during that time were german-speaking with occassional french and dutch guests.
As everything in life, the hotel has it´s strength and weaknesses. To the good sides belong an excellent gastronomy, as well as a friendly service (at least outside of the reception area). The weaknesses of the hotel are mostly tied to the hotel rooms, even if one decides to rent a "Deluxe Room". Additionally, Odyssia´s pool landscape is rather small. Combined with the fact, that it is the only area where sunbeds were free of charge, the place tended to be rather crowded.
But anyway - with some creativity one could reschedule and move to the beach area, where sunbeds were available for quite a fair price (Between 5 to 7 Euros per day for two sunbeds and a parasol).
As stated - Gastronomy in Odyssia is quite fine, even compared to international standards. Breakfast was always fresh and offered dishes for various tastes - from classical bread, to bacon, boiled and scrambled eggs up to salads and marmelade. Dinner was served in buffet form, offering vegetarian meals up to fish or national cuisine. Amusingly, me - as a categoric beef eater - had pretty much fun with the salads (what is rather rare usually), so vegitarians will have their fun in this hotel too.
By the way - the hotel offers also a small supermarket with more than fair prices. So normally there is no need to leave the hotel for shopping. If you want to do so, you will also find two supermarkets, a restaurant and a sightseeing company near by the hotel.
The major disadvantage of Odyssia are the rather small, spartanic furnitured room. We received a “Deluxe room” during arrival. It consisted of a modern bath, interestingly with the washing basin in the hotel room´s entry area (?). Otherwise, the main room consisted of the beds, a rather small wardrobe, a safe that had to be paid for, a sofa with a side table, a wall mounted console table and two TVs. Due to the modest size of the Deluxe Room, storage area was “sparse” at best. In general I missed strongly facilities for storing suitcases and clothes here.
So, compared to similar hotels around the globe, the Odyssia definitely has issues to keep up with it´s self-declared deluxe standards here (Important to consider, when reserving a Deluxe Room). In general, I know hotels, which offer better and more spacious rooms for the same price.
As a summary, I would say, one can go to Odyssia and have fun there. A pretty much different issue is, whether one would come back again - but try and see.
