Barcelo Hydra Beach Resort

We enjoyed the indoor pool, the variety of food, our drink at Byblos, the clean room, and the kind staff.

Very beautiful holidays at a hotel where from the moment you enter you forget the stress of Athens and enjoy a superb beach, spotless facilities, good food with many options, a nice snack bar that at night becomes an Italian restaurant, if you don't want to eat at the main restaurant, a wonderful pool, a wide variety of cocktails and drinks. You enjoy your drink at a very nice bar by the sea, and I must mention the staff is always smiling and willing to serve. We will definitely say them again!!

We spent a week as a couple in August, on an all-inclusive plan, at this beachfront resort in the Peloponnese area. Positive aspects: Very large room (a deluxe), equipped with a large bathroom and a well-furnished terrace. Common areas: Very large and livable. Beach and sea: sandy beach right in front of the property and crystal-clear water. Breakfast: Very varied morning dining. All Inclusive: Drinks and cocktails (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) are very varied and available throughout the day. Location: Strategic for visiting points of interest in the surrounding area by car. Negative aspects: Lunch and dinner: Very flat dining. The pasta was inedible by Italian standards and, in general, the cooked dishes were very disappointing. Staff: Not very empathetic with the clientele. A la carte restaurants: we had two dinners included in the package, but we did not take advantage of them given the negative reviews from other guests. Wellness area: Access to the Turkish bath, sauna, and emotional shower was included in my package, but it was not possible to use them. The wellness center attendant informed us rather brusquely that the services were out of order, inconceivable. Cleanliness: The floor in the room was never mopped. Beach maintenance: Poorly maintained. Staff is needed for cleaning the shoreline during the day and for tidying up the spots left vacant by customers. Some umbrellas were broken. Entertainment: Practically non-existent. Aside from the baby dance, there was no type of engagement; the appointments indicated on the sheet handed out upon arrival were never held. In conclusion: it is not a resort up to the standard of a 5-star hotel. The property has a lot of potential, but management should improve some aspects to make a significant leap in quality.
