We chose to stay at The Patra Resort & Villas because of its beautiful grounds. I’ve stayed here many times before and, having just had a baby, I thought it would be the perfect place to relax. Unfortunately, that memory has been completely shattered.
The resort has clearly gone downhill badly. What was once a 5-star experience now feels neglected and rundown. It’s insulting to be charged full price for what’s advertised as a luxury resort when it barely meets a 3-star standard.
The towels were in worse shape than those at low-end motels — thin, frayed, and clearly years past their use-by date. It feels like nothing has been updated in over 15 years.
At the pool bar, we were told we couldn’t charge a drink to our room. I had already checked in, provided three passports, and left my credit card on file, yet somehow this basic convenience wasn’t available. Never in my life have I experienced such a ridiculous policy at a so-called 5-star resort. Instead of relaxing, I had to walk back to the room, soaking wet, to get my card all because no one at check-in bothered to mention this policy. Completely unacceptable and embarrassing.
Then came the final straw. On our second night, around 9:30pm, the room phone rang loudly — waking both my husband and our 7-month-old baby. It was the hotel about a transaction issue. We said we’d check it, but they called two more times, waking our baby each time. The noise was blaring, and the complete lack of consideration was infuriating. When my husband explained they had woken our child they laughed like it was a joke.
I emailed the hotel regarding this and they didn’t even have the decency to reply. I gave them the opportunity to respond and nothing.
I’m honestly devastated by how our stay has turned out. The first two nights have been stressful and exhausting instead of peaceful. I wish we could cancel the rest of our stay. To make matters worse, we have friends joining us soon, and I’m embarrassed to have recommended this resort. Nobody should have to spend their holiday angry and counting down the days until they can leave.
I do not recommend the Patra villas and resort and unfortunately we won’t be back. I’ve given many reviews on google and they have always been honest, if I could have given 0 stars I would have.
