Happy Days Beach Hotel - All Inclusive

The rooms are clearly too small for three people. Certainly sufficient for two. The beds are single beds that are pushed together. This means that they tend to slide apart, and you don't really lie like you would in a double bed. There is a mini-fridge in the room, for which unfortunately almost all the compartments were broken. The plastic trays in the refrigerator door were no longer there. At least the refrigerator was turned on and cold. However, we first had to move the beds a little, as they were in the way of the refrigerator when opening it. In the information for all-inclusive vacationers in the hotel lobby, it says that you will find two bottles of water in the refrigerator upon arrival. Unfortunately, there was only one bottle for the three of us. Contrary to the assumption that all-inclusive vacationers only live on alcoholic beverages, we are more of the water-drinking faction. We always had to get water bottles for the room at the surrounding mini-markets. We could have, of course, ordered water at the pool bar or in the restaurant, but unfortunately, the water there was often not tasty. We were sometimes served warm water without ice, and sometimes even tap water, which was clearly noticeable due to the aftertaste of chlorine. Unfortunately, you will look in vain for a selection of drinks for diabetics. The only drinks available to me were Coke light and water. The rooms can be called clean, but the furnishings are getting on in years and are not always in good working order. In our case, the shower head could no longer be fixed in place; it always fell down from the holder. As a tall person, I therefore always had to hold the shower head and shower that way. There are too few power outlets in the room for 3 people. There was no table or seating in the room itself, so playing games with the child in the room was not possible. We did have a small terrace for that. There were 3 chairs and a table there. But since there were quite a lot of mosquitoes out in the evening, we had no chance to play games. The pull-out couch that served as a bed for our daughter did not have a slatted frame, but rather squeaky springs. When the child turned over in bed at night, it was clearly disturbing and audible to everyone. The food was good and fresh, but unfortunately very monotonous. For example, very little fruit was offered. There was always sliced melon and honeydew melon, and next to it a bowl of fresh fruit that was only treated as an afterthought. There were apples and bananas here, sometimes apricots, and in exceptional cases, a few plums and nectarines. If, for example, I had taken a liking to the nectarine on the second day of our stay, it was never available again during our entire stay. Instead of cutting up fresh fruit for yogurt and muesli, there was always canned fruit, which, due to being preserved in a lot of sugar, was not an option for a diabetic or the health-conscious. Unfortunately, no sharp knives were provided to cut the little bit of fresh fruit for the muesli ourselves. The only things that changed at breakfast were the types of sausage offered. The scrambled eggs were actually inedible. The taste and consistency can only be described as strange. The omelet was much too hard and too dry. It had therefore been in the heat for much too long. Boiled eggs were always available and nicely presented. Sometimes there were no egg cups for them. You had to look for the small spoons for that. These could then be found at the cereal station. There were none by the eggs. You have to order drinks at lunch and dinner from the waiter. That works rather poorly. Even water is not available at the buffet and must be ordered. As a result, we often didn't have our drinks at the table until we had already finished our meal. We often weren't asked if we wanted more drinks a second time. So it usually stayed at just one glass of water with the meal. So, to quench our thirst, we ended up needing the water supply in our room after all. By the way, water was served in 200 ml glasses. As mentioned above, without ice, unchilled, and sometimes tap water with chlorine added. Pools can be used from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. In my opinion, that means only for families with children. Pools should also be excluded from this review, as we actually only had one tiny pool near us. The slightly larger pool area unfortunately offered so few lounge chairs that we only tried it once and then avoided the hassle. We did not attend any hotel events. The only one we participated in was an evening with live music. The singer had a good voice, and the song selection was a mix of old international classics and Greek songs. We enjoyed the evening. Again and again, despite our AI wristband, we were asked for our room number. It is therefore possible that drinks are still charged despite all-inclusive. However, we were not informed about prices or any incurred costs when ordering at the table. So we are looking forward to our check-out tomorrow. There is a small electric kettle in the room. This was functional, but due to a lack of freely available drinking water, it was unfortunately only usable by buying water in the mini-markets and then boiling it in the room. My wife only drank tea in the room once during the whole week. We did not want to become slaves to our water consumption. We only tried out the TV once. Unfortunately, it is much too small and has no smart features. The selection of German TV channels is very small. Netflix or other streaming services cannot be used with the TV. The internet is rather poor. The latency is high, and the data throughput is low. So please do not expect too much. I am a Telekom mobile customer and have a real flat-rate plan. Unfortunately, this is also barely usable here because the network only offers very low LTE reception. For those who also need to work from the hotel for a few hours at a time, this is out of the question.

Well-maintained facility, clean rooms, good food, and always friendly and helpful staff. Despite the season, a well-kept beach that is not overcrowded. The pool area is also very inviting. Happy to return.

We were there at the end of May/beginning of June and had a very wonderful stay. The rooms are very clean and well-equipped. The staff mostly even speak German and are very accommodating, helpful, and friendly. The food is always fresh and very delicious. There are many international dishes, a salad bar, main course, and dessert bar. The staff in the dining area work very well, quickly, and cleanly. They are always immediately helpful. The pool facilities are clean and well-equipped. We had all-inclusive and received very delicious and good alcoholic beverages. The bar area is very comfortably furnished. The sea is no more than 40 meters away. It also always depends on the room... We will definitely come back next year and are excited. Thank you very much to our tour guide Tareck as well. He always helped us and was always helpful, speaks fluent German, and recommended and organized many activities for us. Thank you very much!
