Flegra Palace

Fabulous hotel and staff. Room cleaned daily and clean bedding and towels. All staff so friendly. Especially the receptionist, who were always happy to order as a taxi into the village. And the bar staff, especially the head barman, and waitress were always lovely and made the best cocktails and Havana club and Coke. Pool area so relaxing, and very comfy su loungers. But we did prefer the beach club. As we are more beach people. I really enjoyed the breakfast, and always had something different each day. We had a ground floor room, by the front of the hotel, which we thought may be noisy for the road, but was fine and we had a lovely garden area to enjoy.

Stayed 11 nights at this hotel… rooms spacious and clean. Really nice shower, clean towels every day. Pool area good but sadly the old story of people reserving sun beds with towels 🥱! |Pool bar nice with excellent service. |Breakfast was really good with plenty of hot/cold choice. |Staff all very friendly.|Refreshing to have air con and safe included in price.|Beach a short walk but beware… sunbeds very expensive. 3 rows on a narrow beach with prices varying from front row (40-50 euros each) to cheaper at the back (around €20 each). This was the same everywhere.|10-15 min walk into main town. |Recommend the old town square for lovely restaurants.|Overall a lovely holiday.

Superb hotel that is a 15 minute walk (5euro taxi) to Pefkohori or a 7euro taxi to Hanioti. (Transfer time from the airport was 1hour 10 minutes for us) The hotel is a 3 minute walk from its own beach club where you can use sunbeds at no charge so long as you have booked through hotel reception first. You will have to spend 20 euro per person during the day which is common for all the local beach clubs. Rooms are well equipped with everything you expect including TV, fridge, hair dryer and shower gel/conditioner. Rooms are cleaned daily along with towels being changed. Breakfast at the hotel is really good value with all types of diet catered for. Only one coffee machine can result in a but of queuing but there is the alternative of an urn next to it if you aren't a coffee officiado. The pool area is well laid out and we found that there was plenty of beds available (we went mid Sept) with nobody feeling the need to reserve beds at stupid o'clock. Sunbed towels are available for a 5 euro deposit and there is a lifeguard on duty at all times. One minor issue was the green tinge the water gave to white swim suits but hopefully this will be sorted quickly as they do have a pool man who visited daily. The pool side bar and restaurant is well equipped and open from 10am to 1am daily. Prices are a bit more than local bars and you can run a tab so long as you allow your credit card to be charged a 100 euro security beforehand. Staff at the restaurant and hotel are extremely friendly and go the extra mile to ensure you have a great time. There is a gym and spar at the hotel if you require its use or if you have a late flight home then you can book a spot to use this as a shower room while you await pick up. This hotel overall was extremely good value for money and is recommended.

Just returned after 14 nights and it is a lovely hotel. |Some negatives but not many.|Standard rooms are on the small size but adequate. Only 6 hangers provided so no where near enough for two people staying two weeks. No much drawer space.|Breakfast would be ok for a short stay but got really fed up after two weeks, it is the same every day. Layout needs looking at. Two small toasters near the entrance then the juice and coffee machines which always caused a blockage.|Apart from the above all was great. The staff are fantastic and always do what they can to make the place the best. Especially the maids, always smiling and do a great job. Our room was cleaned every day and the towels were changed.|Had dinner in the restaurant and although limited choice it was lovely and for a hotel very reasonably priced. Lunch was good too.|Look out for the cats, so clean and friendly. Near the small pool was a mother with two ginger kittens plus a timid black and white one. They took to us and even followed us up to our room and meowed to come in. ||Pefkohori is a strange town, 10 minute walk to the start of it. On the seafront it is very busy with noisy bars and kids arcades. Away from the sea and around the old square are more traditional restaurants which were all good. Chaniotis, 30 to 40 minutes walk was preferable for restaurants and bars for us.|Loved Athytos which was a 50 minute bus ride away, they only run about every two hours. Plenty of good restaurants and bars.||We like traditional Greece so wouldn’t go back but if Flagra had other places we wouldn’t hesitate going to one.

Fantastic hotel, loved that the rooms are cleaned daily & fresh towels. Breakfast was great, good choice & tasty. Staff on reception excellent, bit hit & miss on bar staff purely as often they would be busier talking to other rather than taking orders. That being said there was one stand out member of staff Constantine “Cotstas” always friendly and attentive plus quite funny. Had an issue with the shower as it just whipped round & round due to poor fixing in wall, did mention it first full day but nothing was done. We managed & the cleaning ladies were so good didn’t want to make a fuss. Definitely would recommend great location & aside from little bits top notch.

We stayed at the hotel with our young adult sons. When we arrived there was a bit of confusion over over the accommodation that we had booked and our sons were allocated a double rather than a twin room. The staff did not hesitate in sorting out the rooms, which we very grateful for. The staff were very friendly, helpful and hardworking. Everywhere was really clean and the housekeeping staff and grounds staff did a great job. We loved the medium size of the hotel as it wasn't too crowded and we always managed to find comfy sun beds. The pool was lovely, but if you wanted to go to the beach it was an easy walk from the hotel. The breakfast at the hotel was really good quality, with a lovely variety of food. At busy times an extra coffee machine would have been useful. We ate at the hotel on one evening. The food was very nice. The hotel is a short walk from the main village area, shops and restaurants, which we really liked as the hotel was relaxed and quiet but you could easily walk to the livelier areas. You do have to be able to and be prepared to walk if you don't have a car, or you could perhaps use a taxi. Pefkohori really suited our needs with a real variety of restaurants to choose from. We ate at different restaurants including in the old square, as recommended by others. We found that the tourist shops were very tasteful and there was no pushy selling. There are some lovely cake and ice cream shops. We also had a great day at the Crazyland Water Park, where you could use the nearby sunbeds if you each bought a drink. We did the pirate boat trip which we booked at the pier in Pefkohori, including a transfer coach to the boat. It was a great day out and really good value for money. If we had been there for longer than a week, we would have perhaps hired a car to explore further. We loved the hotel, as it provided us with some much needed relaxation by the pool, or we could go to the beach, but also with young adults with us we could have the fun of the nearby restaurants and shops.

We stayed here for two weeks as a couple in their mid twenties. It has a boutique feel about it and has lovely grounds with lots of flowers and olive trees. The rooms are cleaned every day to a high level and have everything you could need including a fridge big enough to store litre bottles in which was handy for storing bottles of water etc. There are two supermarkets a 10 min walk away. If you appreciate a lot of wardrobe space you may find it difficult as we stayed in an executive double room and it had no drawer storage and the wardrobe was open plan (like an exposed rail). We found this fine but others may have issues. There is also no iron in the room but the reception were happy to provide one when we asked, on the basis you return it after use. There were no noise issues in the room we stayed in and we had a lovely balcony view over some olive trees and flowers, for those who want a private balcony I would pay extra to ensure this as ours did look over other buildings and their balconies. The spa was closed during our stay which was disappointing as we were hoping for a massage and the beach club affiliated with the hotel (Mare Nostra) is not included and very expensive in comparison to other very good options for beach clubs in the area. The pool is lovely and very scenic, cleaned well every day, although the chemicals used did turn all of our lighter coloured swimwear yellow (I would recommend taking darker colours). People did reserve sunbeds every day but on the days we went out and came back at lunchtime, there were still beds available, just not in the prime area for sunbathing. Breakfast had a good selection of hot and cold foods and was enough to fuel us for the day, but with us staying for two weeks we did opt to go out for brunch sometimes for a bit of variety. The set up at breakfast caused a lot of unnecessary queues, as the coffee machine, juice, toast station and cutlery are all in one area as you enter the door. This could be solved by moving the coffee machine (which was the cause for most of the queuing) to the other side of the room. Quality of food in the pool bar is very good and so are the cocktails. Prices vary, some things are similar to what you’d pay in town but others such as coffees cost you six euros and a lot of the time they were half full? There is a great coffee shop down the road, a ten minute walk, called coffee island which we went to instead most days, with high quality coffee for around 3 euros and lovely staff. The staff make this hotel 5/5 as they are incredibly helpful and friendly and everybody always seems busy making the experience as good as possible for the guests. The surrounding area is great, there are plenty of very good quality options for evening meals, lunch and brunch, as well as beach clubs and bars if you want something more lively. You should walk into the old square as well as the main area. The 15 min walk was no issue for us but I could see this being an issue for families with small children or people who are not as able, as the walk is along a busy main road and is not very well lit with street lights. We did not see any taxis when we were out and assume this may be an issue if you had called a taxi to get into town from the hotel, with no way of calling one to get back - uber is not a thing here. But again, this was no issue for us as we enjoyed the walk after a meal. We felt very safe in the surrounding area and everyone we met was friendly and it was clear they took pride in their work, from the hotel to bars and quality of food in restaurants. We would come back and definitely recommend!
