Cnic Gemini Hotel

“A week's stay at this hotel. The welcome was somewhat lukewarm, and there was no communication prior to our stay. The hotel itself was clean, the room bright and pleasant, and the breakfast buffet was plentiful and varied, as was the dinner buffet. The grounds were very green, and the two swimming pools were also very nice, with sun loungers and parasols.”

“Unfortunately, the hotel's reviews tempted me to choose it. Its location so close to a pebbly beach, which is very difficult to access because most of it belongs to tavernas that rent out sunbeds for a fee. So, without water shoes, it's simply a painful experience. The hotel itself is simply underwhelming. It was awarded a 4-star rating, but probably when it opened. The staff at the reception and bars are constantly dissatisfied and hardly return a smile. The food is mediocre, and of course, like most places, breakfast is rather monotonous, but there's plenty to choose from, which is a real challenge here. Lunch is simply awful, only dinner redeems it somewhat because it's actually varied and you can eat in peace. The pool in the photo looks large, but that's just an impression; you don't have to fight for sunbeds. The airport is 15 km away, which is over an hour's drive. And now for the highlight of the day: the drinks: juices are never next to juices, and Coca-Cola and the other drinks are colored and overly sweet. If you're expecting a drink, you'll have to go out and pay. The all-inclusive option only includes alcoholic beverages. You can combine them yourself (see the photos below). Other drinks are charged. They're open at the bar, not even in the fridges. If you have children, there's absolutely nothing for them in the hotel, except for a two-by-two paddling pool and a playground. There's no entertainment, except for aqua aerobics and yoga, which, if you don't approach them and find out about, no one even tells you about it. Towels are provided as 10-euro deposits, which is fine. Unfortunately, replacing them with clean ones requires a fee—this is the first time I've encountered this. My rating is below 3 stars. I know that the reviews on Itaka's website might suggest otherwise, but don't be fooled.”

“We had an excellent experience at Cnic Gemini Hotel. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome with their kindness and professionalism. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the food was fresh and varied every day, and the hotel's location was ideal, close to the beach and local shops. The pool area was relaxing, and the overall atmosphere was peaceful and enjoyable. We highly recommend this hotel and look forward to returning in the future.”

“We spent a great week at the hotel in the middle of the high season. The hotel is clean, quiet, the location is perfect, the staff is kind and polite. The temperature of the pools is very pleasant. We got a large room, in which the extra bed was also a regular bed, the mattresses are comfortable, only the bathroom could have more storage space. The breakfast and especially the dinner were varied and tasty, everyone found something to their taste, maybe the pancakes could be improved. The coffee available at the hotel was not tasty, but we found great cafes a few minutes walk away. The beach is also a few minutes away, where the water is beautiful and clear, with small pebbles and then sand, but beach shoes are recommended.”

“Excellent value for money. The hotel is extremely clean with two well-maintained and pleasant swimming pools and a paddling pool. An excellent buffet breakfast with a wide variety of sweet and savory options. The same goes for dinner, with a great selection of dishes. The cuisine is both local and international, offering simple dishes as well as excellent specialties. The staff is friendly and attentive to our well-being. Our room was spacious with a terrace, refrigerator, and air conditioning. The room was spotless – perfect! A very comfortable king-size bed. The only area for improvement is the entertainment! While there are entertainment staff, they do the bare minimum and don't seem to care about the guests. Unfortunately, the activities listed on the schedule are not followed. The entertainment staff are often nowhere to be found; even the hotel staff can't locate them when asked. Too bad... For a quiet stay in a clean and well-located hotel: I would book again without hesitation.”
