TUI BLUE Atlantica Aegean Park

We were delighted with every aspect of the stay at Aegean Park Hotel. The rooms were comfortable and spotless, the food was delicious, and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. Everything was perfect - highly recommended!

(This is long!) We travelled as a family, our son has a peanut and raw egg allergy. We emailed the hotel in advance regarding this and a detailed email was returned. On arrival we were met by the staff who are all exceptional! Especially Katerina on reception as she remembered our son’s name and spoke to him nearly every day. We had welcome drinks and a private meeting with the head chef Kostas (so sorry if I’ve spelt it wrong!) he was amazing. He is anaphylactic to walnuts and other tree nuts as well so to have a chef who had a true knowledge and understanding of our concerns was so reassuring for us. We had the option to eat at the buffet and for meals to be made separately for our son if we wished. Kostas arranged for us to eat at one of the a la carte restaurants one night, as the theme for the buffet was Asian food so peanuts everywhere and in everything! For people who have food allergies and/or intolerances you can’t ask for more. We had the most relaxing stay because of Kostas and his team. We ate from the buffet as it was so well labelled so we knew exactly what our son could and couldn’t have. Though he did get sorbet nearly everyday as he couldn’t have any of the desserts, not even the ice cream, which was a shame. When we ate at the Taverna restaurant our waitress (and I can’t remember her name!) was so lovely and polite and very accommodating again regarding our sons allergy. This was also the same for the other à la carte restaurant we ate at which was the Green & Grill. The food was stunning and plentiful at both restaurants with again impeccable service. The TUI reps were also super! So friendly and so great with all the children! The hotel was stunning, location, perfect, rooms immaculate, beds sooooo comfy and huge and service was fantastic! It was quite literally the perfect family holiday for us.

Poor cleaning of rooms, not especially good food, the hotel has an amazing placement. But the complete experiance is not that great. Do not feel this is a 5-star hotel. The hotel staf is 10/10

Read on please as this is a positive review. We booked this hotel through our travel agent for a much needed short break. We were originally going to another nearby hotel, but a slight error put us here. We normally like quiet child free places as we have done all the kiddie stuff way back. Our arrival was early morning and in the dark, we were met by a lovely gentleman on the front desk, and provided with a sandwich. Then taken to our room by buggy. First positive is the wow factor of your “standard” room which overlooks the main pool. The room is more like an apartment with a Queen size bed and two singles, designed for families. We got up late to be greeted by stunning Mountain views to the rear of the room, and a massive pool (unheated), two smaller pools, one of which is heated, the other is a kiddies splash feature. Wandering around everywhere, even outside was spotlessly clean, well equipped and very well presented. There are premium rooms with their own swim up patios but I honestly felt our room was really well sited. Food was exceptional, and I don’t say that lightly. Breakfast was a typical mix of continental with fruit and cakes. The “English” breakfast is typical Greek ham, good sausages, with eggs, toast and all you could need including HO sauce ( nice touch from home). Evening meals were fantastic with varied night from Chinese, a curry, plenty of pasta dishes and loads of great fresh salads with Greek influences. The deserts were to die for, I have been on cruises with a massive team of chefs, and can honestly say these were some of the best desserts I have ever tried. Staff, where do we start, attentive but not intrusive. Nothing was too much trouble. We had a problem with our room door lock at night, and couldn’t get in the room. We were driven to the room, maintenance called (Michel) and a repair attempted, unfortunately couldn’t solve the problem, so at a sensible time the repair was carried out. Desk staff George and Catherina were always smiling and there for every minor query. Bar staff Anastazia and Leandroz making great cocktails, fantastic Black Russians and a twist on my wife’s Vidka and Orange. To support the food the waiting team in the main Anna and Christos were awesome seating you and plying me with red wine. This one is for the families, based on its layout, pools and entertainment team I think it is fair to say this is a hotel more suited to families, we were fortunate we went in the first couple of weeks of opening as it was still quiet. As we left it was getting busier, but I will stress still intimate enough if you wanted to get away from the crowds. For the kids the entertainers are non stop with aqua aerobics, volleyball, table tennis, dance sessions and yoga. Under duress I did the aqua aerobics and it great fun, even for an older guy. Shout out to the entertainers we had most contact with Chris, Kasper, Stash and Sanne (new best friends). Thank you to you all for making this a really beautiful experience, and I would have stayed if I hadn’t got to go to work. Summary, this is a family hotel best suited to those with kids but it didn’t detract from a great experience with stunning facilities. If you wanted intimate go in the first two weeks. Thank you all Curly and Deb

Overall, we had a really lovely stay at this hotel, though I’m not sure we would return due to the food and drink quality. The hotel itself is absolutely beautiful – the grounds are stunning, very well maintained, and have a calm, aesthetic feel throughout. It’s a gorgeous place to relax. Our bedroom overlooked the pool, which was a lovely touch, and housekeeping did a great job with daily cleaning and fresh towels. There is always something going on, which we really appreciated. The entertainment team were fantastic – energetic, friendly, and brilliant with children. It’s especially a great destination for families, with plenty of activities for children. Unfortunately, the food was a letdown and didn’t match the standard you’d expect from such a beautiful hotel with a 4+ star rating. In our opinion, it was more in line with a 3-star or at best a low 4-star. Breakfast was decent, but it would have been much better with something like an omelette station where you can choose toppings. Lunch was generally better than dinner, but overall the food lacked variety and quality. There was a limited selection and a heavy focus on pork. That said, a smaller selection would be absolutely fine if the quality was improved. A lot of the food didn’t feel particularly fresh and often seemed processed or simply reheated. Meat was often dry. The drinks were also disappointing. The cocktails in particular were overly sweet and not enjoyable. In summary, a beautiful hotel with excellent facilities, good entertainment, and perfect for families – but the food and drink offering really needs improvement to match the rest of the experience.
