Akti Imperial Deluxe Resort & Spa Dolce by Wyndham

Nothing that is shown in the pictures is real. The food is at a very low quality, They rushed us through every meal like we were in school or something, there was no AC in the rooms which made it impossible to sleep for those 2 nights. We went to relax and came back needing a vacation after our vacation. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING!

Great staff, lovely hotel, spotlessly clean throughout, good choices of restaurants and food, in-room mini bar restocked as advertised, beach towel service faultless, lobby bar George and Luculus/Red Elephant’s waiter George both outstanding and a credit to the hotel. Housekeepers like ninjas, never seen but room was always cleaned promptly and well done.

Review: Akti Imperial Deluxe Resort & Spa Stayed as a family of six. We were given two rooms that weren’t connecting, which meant the adults had to split up at night. The rooms themselves felt very small for families: the “triple” had barely any space for a pram or suitcases, and adding a crib made it tight to move around. What we liked - Entertainment was well organized, with plenty going on throughout the day. - Lots of drink options; beer tasted fine (felt quite light), and there were other choices if you prefer something stronger. - Food variety was decent overall—usually something for everyone at different times of the day. What needs work - Burgers were extremely dense and hard; I’d skip them. - Loungers around the pool are worn out and uncomfortable—you can feel the center bars even with a towel. - Housekeeping came daily, but quality varied. We noticed stains on a couch and some bedding; towels were changed, which was appreciated. - Some plates/glasses didn’t look fully clean, and several juice dispensers looked dusty—off-putting in a buffet setting. - Room doors didn’t feel very secure unless you pulled them closed firmly. During our stay, items went missing from our room (£900 and two pairs of sunglasses). I reported it to staff; they were polite but made me feel disbelieved, and I couldn’t get a copy of the incident report from the manager. I didn’t file a police report due to pre-booked plans, which I regret—others may wish to do so immediately. - I didn’t easily spot fire-escape signage on the ground floor where I was, which concerned me. Clearer, visible exit signs would help guests in an emergency. - I witnessed a situation where a guest said she damaged a tooth on a burger; the staff response came across as unsympathetic. It created an uncomfortable scene. Tips if you go - If you need connecting rooms, confirm in writing well in advance. - Travel light if you’re in a triple, or request extra storage; compact/umbrella strollers fit better. - Use the in-room safe and double-check the door has latched each time; consider photographing valuables and keeping receipts. - If something goes missing, report it immediately and ask how to obtain documentation; consider contacting local police promptly. - Inspect plates/glasses and ask for fresh ones if needed. - Skip the burgers; there are plenty of other options that were fine. - Bring a thin cushion or foldable pad for the pool loungers. - Locate the nearest fire exits on your floor when you arrive. Overall Akti Imperial has lively, well-run entertainment and enough food and drink variety to keep most people satisfied. However, the small rooms, worn facilities, cleanliness inconsistencies, and my security concerns made the stay more stressful than it should have been for a family. With improvements to room allocations for families, maintenance, and clearer safety/incident handling, this could be a much better experience. My personal rating: 2.5/5 for families; potentially higher for
