Gouves Water Park Holiday Resort

Sunny

Just got back. Here’s my honest review. Someone mentioned miserable bar staff. Most were okay. Youngish guy, blonde almost spiked up dry hair, European looking was rude. Didn’t want to be there and made it very clear. The young guy with short brown hair, tall olive skin Guy, girl, Asian guy - all really nice and friendly. Just that one guy was miserable. Half the vodka in every pour was on the bar grill rather than the glass. Food was okay but few times we found hair. Even in the ice cream!!! When mentioned to staff they didn’t seem too phased. Fine. Whatever. Just watch what you eat. Grace in the restaurant was honestly the best in the whole park. She always made an effort with us and kids and was genuinely pleasant and made us feel welcome. Rooms were nice. Housekeeping clearly folded up old towels and tried passing as new. Drinks refreshed every two days which was good. Ac works well. No usb connection so don’t bother bringing usb or fire sticks. Not in our room. Chinese and Greek restaurants were below average. The pool guy at the top of the slides was great as well. He was very friendly and made effort. Soft drinks were syrupy and not nice. Orange was the bearable one. Ice cream also very chemically but settled on strawberry being the most stomach-able. On the whole. Nice trip. 10 days is excessive. You’ll be good with 5. We booked a boat trip which got cancelled due to wind. Aquarium was decent but done within an hour.

Great hotel! Perfect for kids. Lot of pools with pretty good temperature of water. Restaurants Ala carte were delicious! Rooms are pretty simple but the ones with the pools are beautiful. Far away from city but there is bus (5 stop for 2.50€). 20-25 min from the airport which is good !

Overall, the resort is beautiful, with great pools and excellent water parks. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay. However, the food was disappointing – limited variety, not very tasty, and often not fresh. Restaurant reservations were unavailable even when attempting to book several days in advance. Children's entertainment was repetitive, with the same activities every evening. Room cleanliness was below expectations, with bathroom cleanliness requiring improvement. In summary, while the facilities are excellent, the food, entertainment, and housekeeping services need significant improvement.

Booked an all inclusive with my inlaws and we had a fantastic week away. Great selection of pools, entertainment and food/drinks. The kids loved the waterslides. Also in a good location to walk down to the nearest beach where the loungers are inexpensive to hire. Our room was clean and the facilities were all very well maintained. As well as the buffet restaurant, the quick serve burger, pizza and gyros bars were a hit! We also booked the spa facilities which are an additional cost - expensive for what they are but we enjoyed them still. Would definitely recommend this resort for families! P.s. the resort is FULL of very friendly stray cats. They'll climb onto your lap at any given opportunity.

An absolutely fabulous vacation experience!! I cannot say too many nice things about this place, so will start by stating that the room, food, pools (so many!), water slides, snacks, drinks, personell, spa, dining room, mini disco and location were all amazing and with such care taken to details to make guests stay as pleasant as humanly possibly. Its also just a few hundred meters from a great beach by the ocean ♥️ We were a party of 17 ppl, 10 adults and 7 kids aged 1-10 that went for a week in the end of May and everyone had a blast. Perfect temperature (24-27 C) and sunny all week. Will say that it is worth paying extra for a more sizable room that is poolside and closer to the main venues. Small issues: gym was small, but with some patience, sharing and ingenuity is possible to create challenging workouts. Tennis court was advertised as included but that wasnt the case, no big deal. There is something for everyone here, cannot recommend enough!
