Annabelle Beach Resort - All Inclusive
10/10 Excellent
"We stay at Annabel beach resort for 7 nights as a family of 4. The rooms are clean and well maintained. The beach is small but lovely, we had enough sunbeds each day. Pools were harder to find a bed around. We had buffet for breakfast and dinner with a great selection every evening. The bar near the beach offers a smaller selection but enough for lunch
Drinks, plenty of choice, mocktails did seen quite watery as pre made, but beer is good. Overall a great experience"
"Absolutely loved this place. The breakfast was very good and had lots of options. Loved the beach bar across the street. Quick walk to the strip. Service was excellent. We got a very good massage. Would come back."
"We had a luxe swim up room, everything was super clean and well kept facilities. Very friendly staff! They set you up with a mobile app upon arrival that was also very helpful if you’re worried about a language gap. The buffet food was very good and you can also pay for à la carte meals at one of four restaurants! So worth the stay"
"Staff and food are incredible - massive shout out to Stella, Ionna, Pat, Vasilios and the guys from the bar - all great and couldn’t do enough.
The spa is gorgeous with lovely treatments.
Drinks are good but if you only drink premium branded liquor then expect to pay - the drinks were nice otherwise but we did pay in the evenings for a nice bottle of wine or premium cocktail.
We will definitely be back as it was 100% a 5 star experience. A beautiful resort run by lovely people."
"Amazing all inclusive resort. Staff super friendly. Beautiful beach. Delicious food in the à la carte restaurants and also the buffet restaurants too. Super kids club. Fun water park. We will definitely return."
"Lovely resort, that’s like a smaller version of IKOS - minus the all inclusive and certain extra touches. Scenic resort right by the beach. Of the three à la carte restaurants on site, Almyra is the best. We didn’t enjoy the food at other spots. Service across the restaurants is great - with some lovely staff. We noticed some of the older staff (particularly at the buffet restaurant) weren’t the most welcoming and struggle the smile. The rooms were cleaned promptly every morning. We found reception/room service quite slow to deliver water/replenish glasses in the room and had to call multiple times for our order to arrive. The beach shack is really cool, great staff and lovely cocktails. If you’re looking for a resort with minimal brits abroad, this is the perfect option. Very European clientele, many young families like ours, all very friendly and wanting to have a chat. I would definitely recommend but to be aware of some of the cons I mentioned above - particularly if you’re used to IKOS resorts."
"We are having a wonderful stay at Bella Beach Hotel. From the moment we arrived, the staff have been friendly, welcoming and very helpful.
We had a small issue with our original room, and the team listened to our concerns. They kindly upgraded us to a room with a much better sea view and even helped move all of our luggage, which we really appreciated as we are travelling with a baby and a toddler.
The food has been very good, with plenty of choice at every meal, and the hotel is clean, well maintained and in a great location right by the beach.
A big thank you to the reception and all the staff for their excellent customer service. They made us feel valued and helped make our holiday even more enjoyable. We would happily recommend Bella Beach Hotel and would love to return in the future."
"We like everything there this was our 4th year staying at the Harma. Great location as well close to the sea shopping bars and restaurants people very friendly will be back next year"
