Pasiphae Hotel

We visited pasaphia hotel for the third time in 2024, the hotel the staff are lovely, the area is authentic Greece which is how it should be, local taverners serve wonderfully food & it's only a short walk, Bill the owner is very friendly & will help you with car hire & local taxi's to visit this lovely island, look forward to coming to pasaphia hotel again in July & see the new rooms.

Beds are comfy, air can, fly screens on windows, fridges in rooms, individual balconies with washing line to hang up wet swim wear all a gods send. Staff made up the rooms every day so they were clean & tidy when you returned later in the day. Negative is not enough sun parasols around the pool for the sun loungers, meant people were up at crack of dawn to bag those that do. Without them, there is no shade when the temperature is sweltering, mid to late 30s this week.

The comfortable bed and pillows truly made this my dream holiday. After a great night's sleep I was refreshed and relaxed and ready to enjoy the peace and calm this lovely place has to offer. The owner Vassilis (Bill) is welcoming and friendly and genuinely gets to know each of the guests. The bar staff were great especially Bill (Pure Angel) .

Just came back from a weeks stay - loved every minute of it . I follow this hotel on Facebook and I had messaged the owner saying we were on a late flight and he made sure pizza was available for us . My husband loves Greek cider and even thou I believe this isn’t normally stocked here the owner made sure he had some in stock for our visit even topped it up when it sold out .it was my husbands birthday whilst we were staying and they managed to order me in a cake for him ( cake was lovely) staff even filmed me carrying it to our table singing happy birthday .. honestly they were all amazing . Rooms are basic but you get what you pay for - maid service every day bed was comfy nice big balcony and loved the face there was a door net so we could have the door open but the net kept out the mozzis . We took our own kettle as we knew this wasn’t supplied as a general item but I think you can rent one . Pool great - very big and deep .bbq nights and themed food night are worth the money

Well what can I say. I came with no expectation. The hotel is great. Lovely rooms views over the gardens and pool. Cleaned regularly. Breakfast was brilliant. The Greek yoghurt is to die for with a bit of home made honey delicious. The gardens are immaculate very well maintained. Lots of lovely flowers and the wildlife blew me away. Foxes, owls, hedgehogs to name a few oh yes and the frogs xx

This was our second visit to the Pasiphae, the first being in 2023. This time, we brought our son, daughter and their partners for their first visit. Like the reviewer below, I had emailed the hotel to say that we were returning to celebrate my 60th birthday but received no reply. I did not intend to have special treatment or a party organised but it would have been good to receive an acknowledgment with the option to organise a few extras that I would be happy to pay for. Sadly, Vasilis, did not engage with us at all during our visit other than one greeting to my husband but all the other staff were lovely and interactive and a credit to the hotel. The rooms were clean but a bit tired and dated. The air conditioning was free and the beds and pillows were comfortable. Our room was clean, spacious and had a good shower. The fridge was also useful and appreciated. There was no kettle to make drinks but other people have taken travel kettles so would recommend this if you like to take tea or coffee in your room. We had to pay cash at the bar or put drinks on our rooms. Another hotel we stayed at earlier this year took card payments which was better for us although I appreciate there may be a cost in doing this. The drinks choice was quite limited so we tended not to drink much at the hotel but to go out instead. Buffet breakfast was included with our room and was a good choice of items. The lunch menu was very good and great quality and value. The pool is good although there are some rough edges on the pool and it looks as though some of the paint is peeling away. No doubt this will be addressed over winter. The sunbeds were comfortable but looked a bit stained from the sun cream. This can’t be helped but makes it look a bit grubby. I am not sure of the solution for this! The only other gripe was that the gardener decided to mow the grass and strim the edges which caused a lot of debris to fly off onto sunbathing guests. It would be better to do this in the evening when everyone has gone to get ready to go out. The gardens and plants were lovely though. Overall, we had a lovely holiday together but I was disappointed at the lack of interaction from the owner as he was there every day, mostly talking loudly on his phone. I appreciate that he may be fatigued after a busy summer but we felt disappointed that he chose not to interact with us or to even say goodbye when we left, or to thank us for returning. Perhaps, there was something else ongoing. We are unlikely to stay here again and will try one of the other hotels next time if we can. Other guests have had different experiences so perhaps it was just us! He seemed to interact with a select few but his staff were all lovely and his wife was also friendly. Skala Kallonis is a lovely, relaxing, friendly village which I would definitely recommend to visit. There is a good selection of tavernas and bars which are great value. Many close for the winter at the end of September and some had already
