Orkos Beach Hotel

We were made to feel very welcome at Orkos Beach Hotel. The team really couldn’t do enough for us. The breakfast is generous and delicious with an abundance of fresh fruit, homemade pies and cakes, eggs, cheeses and great coffee. ||+walking distance to two beautiful beaches|+great choice of kiteboard schools |+good variety of restaurants in the village|+grocery store/bakery on your doorstep|+spacious rooms with big balconies giving great views over the sea|+lovely pool in garden area||-book outside of school holidays as it is popular with families with kids

We had a perfect stay in the Orkos Beach Hotel! The beach is just opposite the dirt road outside of the Hotel - and so is a Minimarket and some good restaurants. The staff is very helpful, friendly and always in a good mood. As an idea to the Hotel management: You could consider changing the bath towels only when needed instead of every day to save water. Oh, and what would be greatly appreciated: You could offer the guests to borrow parasols (of course in exchange for a deposit)! We“ll certainly be back for another vacation!

The hotel is an excellent choice for kite surfing, windsurfing, and other water sports enthusiasts. The beach in front of the hotel is often quite windy, making it perfect for these activities, but not ideal for families looking for a relaxing beach day. The hotel is somewhat remote, which adds to its charm but also means that the nearby restaurants and supermarkets tend to be overpriced. Despite this, the staff are very friendly and always eager to help, which made our stay more pleasant. The rooms are clean and well-maintained, with daily cleaning and fresh towels provided. However, considering the overall experience, the hotel feels overpriced, especially during the low season. While it offers great amenities for those into water sports, the high costs may not be justified for other types of travelers.

Beautiful customer service. Clean hotel. Most importantly, clean bedding. Daily cleaning. Daily breakfast buffet clean food friendly service. Clean beach across the road with many locals and tourists travelling to the beach because of its beautiful water and activities. The hotel is rated 2 stars but should be rated 4. The room we stayed in has 2 aircons. 2 balconies. Anything you ask for, they provide. We received daily beach towles and umbrellas. Great atmosphere extremely family friendly with clean landscaping and maintained surroundings very aesthetically pleasing. There is plenty of parking in the hotel. If you love the beach you will love this place.

Beautiful hotel with great breakfast. Short walk to the beach. Comfortable rooms, but a door handle was broken. You will likely need a rental car to get there or other transportation.

Great location for kiters. Unfortunately, getting any answers out of them before we arrived. was like pulling teeth. Even to confirm that they got our booking required 3 separate inquiries. The rooms were nice and quiet and spacious. Firm mattress. Great blackout curtains. The fridge in the room did not have a mini freezer in it. Breakfast was overall pretty good. Kontos restaurant across the street was not good. (As far as the food goes). Disappointing. The restaurant on site was good, but not a great view. Great yoga nearby (Vasiliki).

We loved the vibe of this hotel right next to the kite surfing shop which also does lovely food and drinks. Our room had a curvy flint stones feel to it and the views and sunsets were stunning from our balcony. More storage in the bathroom is needed as this room is essentially a wet room and even the toilet and loo roll gets wet. Really comfy beds and room was refreshed daily.||||Staff are relaxed and friendly, breakfast was lovely. (Nut milk as an alternative to cows milk would have been good - only cows milk available)||The seating areas are accessible all day and the hotel don’t mind at all if you bring in food from other places to eat (the souvlaki from Kontos across the road is worth a try & super cheap) ||||The pool is lovely with comfortable enough sun loungers, no umbrellas are available but we found shade under the trees, it just meant we were moving our stuff around a lot. A few umbrellas would be useful.||||The beach is stunning and has much more room and less touristy than nearby Plaka but sunloungers and umbrellas are sparse. You will have to buy your own umbrella for shade. ||||TIP ABOUT CAR HIRE - we asked the hotel about hiring a car and they best they could do was a basic car for 140 euros for one day or 240 euros for 2 days. We walked up to the car rental shop up the road (turn left from the hotel & walk up road for about 3 mins) and we got a car for 50 euros for 24 hrs. ||||RECOMMENDATIONS - Victoria cafe is truly lovely, we went at sunset for pizza and it was the nicest pizza I’ve had in a long time. The view is beautiful, chilled music and great if you have little ones as there is a play park in the dunes.||Chalki is a nice village to visit with some cute little shops and cafes. We had a crepe in cafe Grecco which was gorgeous ||We also visited the old derelict hotel in Alyko which has some amazing graffiti, there are some gorgeous little quiet beaches to swim in there too.

Great location, really good breakfast, just the room could need a little update, also weird that there is no sink in the bathroom. But overall great place!
