I recently enjoyed a wonderful holiday at Castello Village Resort. The staff were incredibly welcoming, and we had a fantastic time exploring the area, including a memorable olive oil festival. The beach was conveniently close, and the breakfasts offered a delightful variety. However, the evening meals were a letdown, being bland and unseasoned, which was disappointing, especially considering the beautiful surroundings.

We were upgraded to a sea view room with a jacuzzi, which was lovely. However, it didn't quite meet our expectations as it wasn't a full sea view and was located above a delivery area, so we did experience some early morning noise.

Service

The service was attentive and genuinely caring. The staff went above and beyond, even creating a birthday cake for my dad, which was a lovely touch.

The hotel is situated near the charming village of Sissi, making it easy to enjoy local restaurants and shops. The proximity to the beach was also a plus.

The breakfast was quite good with a wide selection, but I found the evening meals lacking in flavor and creativity, which was a letdown during our stay.

Facilities

The hotel had a nice pool area that provided a relaxing environment, but it was a shame about the noise from the surrounding deliveries that sometimes interrupted our relaxation.

Overall, my stay at the Costello Village Resort had its highs and lows. While I appreciated the cleanliness and the efforts of some staff members, the food didn't meet my expectations, and the noise from nearby construction was quite bothersome. The balcony of my room was spacious but could benefit from a bit of maintenance. I loved the charm of Sissi, which made up for some of the hotel's shortcomings.

Rooms

The room was clean and had a decent layout with a huge shower and a lovely large balcony. However, I experienced a partial sea view instead of the full view I had hoped for.

Dining options were quite disappointing. Breakfast was okay, but the main dining menu often felt mass-produced and unappetizing, making us seek meals elsewhere.

The facilities were functional, but the sunbeds and outdoor furniture were in desperate need of replacement or renovation.

Our stay at this hotel had its ups and downs. While the room with a lovely sea view made for breathtaking sunsets every evening, we quickly realized it lacked the promised amenities. The location was nice, being just a short walk from the village of Sissi, but the dining options were quite repetitive, which could be dull over an extended stay. The staff were mostly attentive, but there were a few hiccups that could have been handled better.

The breakfast options were plentiful, though a bit more variety would have been appreciated, especially for those looking for fresh fruits. The rooms were fantastic, especially with the upgraded features that provided extra comfort. However, some facilities could use a little attention to really shine. Overall, it was a great vacation spot for relaxation and fun!

Our stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. We were happy with our room, which had a lovely balcony and a partial sea view. The staff was attentive and accommodating, especially in arranging a late meal for our arrival. However, the dining options could use some improvement, as some of the food lacked variety, especially for vegetarians. The location was nice, but we encountered some noise issues during our stay.
