Panthea Holiday Village

Not a great Hotel but the local area is fabulous! We booked here last minute and got a really good deal but this hotel is not fantastic. The staff are amazing the hotel restaurant staff, Bar staff and cleaners but the reception staff are pretty poor and unhelpful. The food in the restaurant is pretty much the same all the time and very boring, we ate out 4 out of the 7 evenings because of this. We loved the local area and will definitely return to the area but definitely not to this hotel. The pool area is crazy busy and the beds are far to close to each other also everyone starts putting our towel to secure beds super early in the mornings🤣🫣 The pool could definitely do with a clean and some maintenance is needed. The rooms are quite modern and cleaned every other day and our beds wasn’t changed the whole week?… also these beds are the most uncomfortable beds I have ever slept on! I wouldn’t recommend this hotel to others and definitely would not return.

We were excited to return to this hotel after a wonderful stay seven years ago. Unfortunately, our recent trip was a huge disappointment, and it's clear the hotel has gone massively downhill.

The biggest issue, and a serious health concern, was the discovery of feces on the astroturf near the pool bar. When we reported this to the bar staff, they were completely unhelpful and laughed, telling us it wasn't their job. We then reported it to reception an hour later. While someone was called, the problem was never actually fixed—it was simply smeared into the astroturf. This level of neglect is disgusting and completely unacceptable.

This lack of care seemed to be a theme throughout the hotel. The lifeguards were unprofessional, spending their time on their phones, smoking, or sleeping, and a dangerous light with an exposed wire was hanging in the pool itself.

Our room also had issues. We had ants from day one. By the third day, we had to ask for a thorough cleaning after finding old food and candy under the beds, which likely contributed to the ant problem. The regular cleaning was inconsistent, and we were even left without any towels one day. It's a shame because the hotel has potential.

The staff in the buffet restaurant were a positive exception—they were quick to serve our drinks and were very helpful with my gluten-free diet, providing me with bread, croissants, and cakes daily. However, this was not enough to make up for the overall state of the hotel.

Overall, it's a grubby and unloved place with a serious lack of effective management. It's sad to see a place with so much potential be so neglected.
