Filoxenia Aparthotel

Just got home from a weeks stay at the Filoxenia, the hotel was basic but for what we paid we expected nothing more. It was very clean and staff were very friendly, we spent all day and every day at the beach so we were just looking for a nice comfortable base.

We enjoyed the 15 - 20 mins walk to the beach, that way we got to see more of this lovely resort

We stayed at the Filoxenia and absolutely loved it, we had a really great time. 2 adults and 2 children aged 10 and 5, they had a ball. The hotel staff were brilliant, really really friendly and sociable, especially Denis and Antony. The rooms were fine and spotlessly cleaned every day. Denis organised karaoke and we had great karaoke nights. The greek night was brilliant and the food was so nice, couldnt fault it. The greek nites were held on a tuesday and the last one we went to will be one of my best memories at the Filoxenia. Everyone ended up in the swimming pool, fully clothes from grannies to children, it was an amazing night, it was a fantastic end to a really hot night. I dont think this is something that happens on a regular occurance, just think we happened to be there with a really good crowd of people. The pools were great , my youngest can't swim so he enjoyed the kids pool, but by the second week he was jumping into the shallow end of the big pool. The staff at the mini market were really friendly and there were a variety of goods on sale.
The hotel was a bit out but this didnt really bother us it was a nice walk into the town. The bars on the way down were great and the staff were very friendly especially George, Spyros and Dennis from the Amuse bar. My youngest needs a wheel chair for long distances and we didnt have any problems with this. There were ramps for the wheelchair and we were on the ground floor so we found it very accessible. We hired a car for 2 days and it was great to see around the island, it was very beautiful. Tsilivi was a beautiful place to go to and we met some fantastic people. I would definitly go back to the Filoxenia and would recommend it to anyone. Ann, Kieran, Rebecca and Paul

Hi - We are going to the Filoxenia Apartments in Tsillivi next week - 22nd July - so will let you know when we return what it was like there. I have read many reviews and most of them have been very good except the odd grumble.

Hi

Hi Finbarr, thanks for that and may I add how right you are. I received a telephone call from Panorama saying there was a problem with the booking and that there is no such thing as a 1x4 bed apt in the Filoxenia. However they have offered to move us to the Planos apartments and I am not so sure what to do. I looked up a website and the comments on these were not great but some of the comments are fairly old. Are you in anyway familiar withe the said apartments? The other option is to accept a studio apartment at the Felixiona? Any advice you may have  is most welcome. We are a mature couple and do not have children so much as we love them we enjoy peace while on holiday. Thanks for getting back with the suggestions and we are looking forward to our trip whichever we accept. By the way I had even received confirmation from Panorama for the original booking of an apartment. It was obviously a mistake on their part!! Cheers and thanks again.... Patsy

I meant to just add that Valentina's Castle is lovely and the food is good too, it's on the way into town but back off the road on the r/hand side. 

Just returned from our holiday and I agree with the previous writer with one exception--- the music and noise from the bar which went on too late at night when there was no way to get away from it. So we though the Filoxenia was wonderful until 12.00am!
