I came to Messina Resort for just two days... a spontaneous “me time” escape from my own role in the hospitality industry. I left wishing I had booked a full week (if I had a full week during peak season) From the moment I arrived, the warm welcome was genuine: Cici at check-in set the tone with a bright smile and smooth process. My room was lovely, clean, comfortable, and calming, with peaceful moments spent on the terrace gazing out at the graceful palm trees. Just what I needed to recharge. The beach was beautiful (note to self: bring those rock-water shoes next time!), the pool absolutely YES, and the food? Delicious. Kudos to the Chef! Every staff interaction came with a smile... Special thanks to Leonidas and Spyros at the bar, Ramona with the Corona (you’re a star!), Xrysanthi at the front office, and Spyros on the phone, whose warmth literally traveled through the line. And then… there was Vasilis, the Operations Manager. I had a minor disappointment regarding a requested service, a small miscommunication, and after receiving one or two unsatisfying replies via Booking.com, I honestly didn’t expect much else. But Vasilis completely turned the situation around. Despite it being high season and his plate clearly full, he took the time not only to personally respond to my message but also to sit down with me, face to face, to talk. Not just about my stay, but about our shared world: hospitality. His openness, professionalism, and thoughtful conversation were the surprise highlight of my stay. It's rare to meet a leader who listens so genuinely and acts with both care and competence. I may have missed the chance for a massage, and next time I’ll definitely go horseback riding, but I’ll gladly return for the smiles of these wonderful people. Because no matter how pretty the pool or how tasty the food, it’s always the people that make a place worth returning to. Thank you all at Messina Resort. See you very soon!

All inclusive resort including three meals and drinks each day . Beach was a few steps away. All the staff. We’re attentive and very very helpful . Choice of food different on all days

Pool area Needed a little more shade . Sadly other guests placed towels on pool beds and then left them unoccupied for long periods . A lot of Beach chairs on the beach need to be replaced . Maybe reception coul provide. Cushions for chairs on beach with the towels and guests return them when finished .

We stayed here for one night. Friendly staff, great manager. The breakfast was simple but absolutely fine. Location: practically on the beach with very few people. Very relaxing. The complex is clean and lovingly designed. Admittedly, the hotel was a bit dated, but that didn't detract from the positive experience at all. It's located away from mass tourism. If you don't need constant entertainment and distraction, this is highly recommended.

Nothing really - we liked it

Excellent location next to the beach, really clean and impressive resort. It's quiet around mid-July, pool is lovely, food is more than good and breakfast very tasty. Staff were lovely.

Room was really large but decor is a bit outdated. Bathroom taps and shower were quite corroded and shower was not isolated into the bathroom. The room we stayed in could use a bit of tender loving care but it didn't take anything away from our stay.

This hotel exceeded our expectations in almost every way (except one, see negatives). We were welcomed by very friendly, English speaking staff who showed us to our room and gave us a plate of fresh fruit. The room was large, more like a studio, with a kitchen, tables, bathroom (tiny bit dated) and private balcony to sit. There was also a fridge and a TV. Very spacious and comfortable. The room had an AC unit which could not cool down the room by a lot, but that was the only negative. The resort is absolutely beautiful, with palm trees and water features. It has a nice pool and outdoor seating with sea /sunset view in the same area. We loved watching the sun sink into the sea with a cocktail in our hand. The beach is only a few meters away. There is a large indoor lounge which I think is the only place where you can get WiFi, but we didn't try. Seaside restaurants are within walking distance as well. Hotel breakfast is buffet style with lots of choice. Very good.

There was one single negative about our stay, and that was the airconditioning in our room. We had it on full blast and the room was still boiling hot. So we didn't sleep well because of this.

The architectural beauty, the room size and cleanliness, friendly staff, views, breakfast, value for money...

No WiFi in the rooms. One night was OK but if longer, would have moved out.

Clean and modern, the pool area is beautiful

Nothing

Great stay, the staff was friendly and helpful

Of its type, the Messina Resort Hotel is great. Excellent location, next to the beach, swimming pool, sunloungers etc. Very comfortable and spacious rooms. Great for families. The beach is a mixture of pebbles and gravel. The swimming is lovely. There are some excellent little tavernas on the seafront within 2 minutes' walk.

The breakfasts could be improved - they are a bit institutional. The constant music in the pool area is annoying.

Very clean and wonderful staff. Spacious rooms, well ventilated, cool and quiet.
