Mayia Exclusive Resort & Spa

Where do I start, we booked the Mayia Exclusive with Jet2 which I must say was the best budget airline I have ever flown with. Seamless service from start to finish! The hotel... the best hotel I've ever been too. We celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary in a swim up bungalow room, I highly recommend upgrading. The decor stunning!!!! The food... exquisit, especially the Asian!!! The pools were fabulous, great entertainment! We paid €150 for the beach habana, we were served champagne, fruit, chocolates cake, coffee... its was simply stunning and well worth the cash! Also highly recommend hiring the private boat and speeding to lindos.... we jumped into the ocean and swam to the bay for a gorgeous local lunch... boat hire was very very reasonable. I cannot even think of a slight negative .....

This hotel is in a stunning location, beautiful views from most spots around the hotel, from the bars to the pool areas to the beach. It’s a huge site which tends to make the place feel ‘unbusy’ most of the time - nowhere feels ‘full’. A lovely welcome on arrival, with the champagne and strawberries. All the bars were fab, from the pool bar (Senso) which served both pools, much thanks to Juliano, who worked tirelessly from early to late, the main lobby bar, but especially the champagne bar, which was our favourite. Evi was exceptional, always accommodating and made this a lovely place to end most of our evenings...a glass of champagne looking out over stunning views in the company of a loved one, what more could you want? Food wise there is so much choice, in particular we enjoyed the Greek restaurant, with great service and language lessons from Yiannis and Vasilis, and the Asian restaurant is really high quality. The beach area was never busy and serviced well by Anastasia with her drinks shack and would also come to you to ask if we needed more drinks. She was particularly helpful on our first day with teaching us the basics in Greek conversation, thank you. Rooms were lovely, spacious and great view. Service everywhere was to a really high standard, but the cleaning team were constantly on the go, servicing the rooms twice a day. Whenever we had any problems/queries e.g. maintenance, cleaning, dining etc issues were dealt with quickly and professionally by the reception/customer service team. In particular I must make mention of the wonderful spa facilities. The spa pool and saunas etc are a beautiful and relaxing space, and we found it to be a great way to cool down after a day in the sun. Mrs Katerina was a lovely hostess for the spa. I did try the treatments after my initial free session and would really recommend them. George was my therapist and was very professional. I think for a treat to yourself then the price is worth it. All inclusive package was good value. Although there were items that could incur extra charges there is so much choice available that is included I can’t see why you would need to spend any extra, we didn’t. From the choice of champagne (Moët is perfectly acceptable to ‘settle’ for), to a wide range of cocktails, wine lists in all the restaurants to milkshakes by the pool! We never felt there were times when you couldn’t get a drink or food when you wanted. All in all excellent & we intend to return to this hotel.

Stunning hotel with great amenities great choice of restaurants staff really helpful everything spotless mini bar stocked every day at no extra charge Would recommend swim up rooms Although the hotel seemed full nowhere was crowded the private beach area is a plus and the lifts everywhere make getting around very easy

This hotel exceeded my expectations in all aspects. The staff were professional but friendly, the facilities were exceptional, including the Spa and Gym area. Katarina, gave us an informative tour of the spa facilities which I would recommend, which are free to use, just paying for any treatments, if you decide to have them, massage, facials, manicures etc. There are just a few negatives:- 1.When eating in the main dining room the staff were slow to clear the used/dirty tables so we were sometimes sat surrounded by them when eating. This I think was due to lack of staff not lack of care by the waiters, also a poor and haphazard system for clearing away. 2. We payed for a late check out on our room which I feel was very expensive 168euros, we did this as we had an evening flight so were able to spend the day by the pool, pack and shower without having to check out by 12 midday, when we had a 18.00 pick up time.
