"It was a joy to stay at Evlalia Studios and Villas. The view from my balcony was breathtakingly beautiful I almost didn't want to leave it. Just a 15 minute walk from the port was well worth it. The staff was attentive, informative and eager to attend to my individual needs. If you want to be transported this is the place to stay."

"Warm and friendly, welcoming staff, creating a mellow vibe that was immediately relaxing. Fantastic location right on the front with great harbour and bay views, from the outdoor dining area and room balconies. The simple, unfussy rooms had all we needed and contributed to the calm, with deeply comfortable king-size beds the star of the show. We slept so well! The biggest surprise was the rooftop pool and bar, giving stunning views and making a great escape. The biggest memory is the warmth of the team, who went out of their way to make our stay relaxing and memorable."

"Me and my elderly dad had a great week here. Perfect location on the beach with a great pool. All kept very clean. The spa was great too. The staff were wonderful and accommodating and the rooms had great balconies to sit and read. The only thing which could be improved was the food offered - just not as nice as other places and the shower in the bathroom was a bit of a pain - try to shower without turning your bathroom into a swimming pool! We would definitely return and would recommend this hotel. No problems for my dad walking around the complex and he loved his week there."
