This popular hotel offers an excellent modern standard of comfort. It is just back from the main part of Almirida’s beach and only a minute or two’s flat walk from the seaside restaurants here. Further tavernas and bars are within a 5 minute walk.
It has 66 rooms on the upper two floors, served by a lift. All rooms are twin or double (queen-size) bedded and very well appointed with air conditioning, WiFi, TV, fridge, safety deposit box, bathroom with bath or shower, and balcony with sea or side sea views. Extra beds are recommended for children/young adults only and the hotel has some disabled-adapted rooms.
The hotel also has spacious Junior Suites and Family Rooms for up to 4 (with room divider). Please note that the 3rd or 4th bed in all rooms is standard length but slightly narrower than normal (80cms instead of 90cms wide). As such its use is recommended for children/teens only.
The ground floor has a large open plan reception, restaurant and lounge. To the front there is a good sized swimming pool, with adjacent children’s pool and a wide sun terrace with pool-bar. Pool/beach towels are available (€1 per fresh towel). The hotel also has an extensive holiday library.
Guests are of course welcome to use the facilities of the sister-hotel next door which include a roof-top a la carte restaurant, fitness room and a mini-spa with treatments (paid locally).
We have worked with the Almirida Beach since the hotel opened and see many repeat guests, always a sign of a well run hotel. With high contemporary standards of comfort, friendly service and an excellent location, we consider the hotel offers great value, especially if you take advantage of our free meals offer.
Note: Early and late season bookings (usually in April and late October) may be accommodated at the 4-star Almirida Residence next door.
Half Board: available (price on request). If booking is made before 15th April please enquire for our free half board offer.
