Reviews
Our room was clean and its interior and condition was to our fullest satisfaction. We had a double Bedroom with a balcony. The room included free use of Air Conditioning.Everything was clean. The Hotel makes sure that even if your room doesn’t have the Pool or Ocean View, you still get a decent nice view from the balconies on the ground floor by taking good care of a nice little garden part outside of the building. Our room got cleaned every day, we got provided with fresh towels, toilet paper, new coffee and cups and neat sheets every time. When there were any minor issues the Staff at the reception instantly made sure to solve it. There was also a little fridge.
The beach is literally 10 steps from the hotelr. You could either rent beach chairs for 25€ a day (which is a fair price for an entire day for 2 peoplel) or bring your own towels and just lay at the beach for free. The hotel also offered a lot of fun beach activities such as boat tours, jetski and speed boat rides.
We did a boat tour around half of the island and found that the hotel is not too far from Xigia Sulfur Beach and the Blue Caves which (in my opinion) are worth seeing the most of all things on the island, so the location of the hotel is amazing. We were able to visit a lot of amazing places not too far from Alikanas just by renting a Quad that we were able to park at the hotel for free, to keep it safe from thiefs.
As an addition to all that we were able to use the huge hotel pool for free and also lay at the beach chairs by the pool for free, they also provide you with free beach towels if you need them. If you want to order snacks or drinks you just press a button and the restaurant service comes right away to take and deliver your order. There was always enough free chairs to lay on.
We were also very happy with the restaurant. The staff is super sweet and they offer a large variety from food, snacks and drinks. As a Hotel guest you receive a 10% discount on everything and after staying a few days we realised that other restaurants around aren’t really any cheaper and the food was often not as good as the food offered in the hotel restaurant, so we came to eat often. We also appreciated the nice breakfast menu which contained a variety of iptions. They don’t offer a breakfast buffet or anything so you have to order breakfast each day individually but the price is fair for the quality and the amount of food you get, it’s all under 10€.
The Hotel pool and restaurant was always relatively quiet and not too busy, which was really relaxing. The tourist centre of the city is a 5 minute walk up the road and contains everything you need such as quad and car rental places, super markets, pharmacies, a doctor, bars, restaurants and various souvenir shops.
All in all you have more than everything you need at this hotel, we always felt safe and we just want to say thank you to Valais Hotel for giving us such a great time with many beautiful memories. You made mine and my boyfriends first couple vacation amazing. We will be back!
Rooms were large and clean; aircon and safe were included and as we booked direct with the hotel, local taxes were too. We loved that it was family run and that it had such quirky touches such as the collection of model ships and paintings! Ok, the rooms were a little dated but they were clean, as were the towels and linens with plenty of hot water and proper shower cubicles.
Pool service was amazing; how I miss the bell to call for cocktails and food! We will be back!
