Castello Village Resort in Sissi is a lovely retreat with beautifully clean and modern accommodations, complemented by friendly staff who genuinely enhance the experience. The food is impressive for a buffet, offering delightful Greek specialties. However, the lack of a nearby beach and some inconsistencies in dining could be drawbacks for some guests. Overall, it's an excellent choice for those looking to enjoy a relaxing holiday with a taste of local culture.

We had a lovely stay at this resort spa, with excellent amenities and stunning views. The breakfast options were extensive and delicious, making mornings delightful. Although the dining experience can feel repetitive at times, the pool area is fantastic for relaxation. The only downside was the occasional noise from the area below our room. Overall, it was a great value for the money we spent.

My stay at Castello Village was truly memorable, with outstanding service from the staff who felt like friends by the end of my trip.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the staff was friendly and made an effort to accommodate us, the room didn't match our expectations, which was disappointing. The dining options were repetitive and lacked variety, although we discovered great local restaurants nearby. The pools could have used more upkeep, but the overall area was lively and enjoyable.

Rooms

We faced an issue with our room initially, as it did not match the description we had booked. After some negotiation, we were moved, but the new room still wasn't quite what we expected. It did have a pleasant sea view, which was a nice touch.

Service

The service was friendly overall, but we experienced some delays and felt a bit ignored at times, especially when we needed drinks during meals.

Location

The hotel is situated near a charming village with lovely bars and shops. Although it wasn't directly on the beach as we had hoped, the surrounding area is appealing and has plenty to explore.

Dining

5.0

Dining was slightly underwhelming, with the options being repetitive and not particularly refined. However, we enjoyed homemade cakes at breakfast, and there were decent dining choices nearby.

Facilities

5.0

The pools were not as clean as I would have liked, and one had an unpleasant odor, which detracted from the experience. More attention to maintenance would elevate the facilities significantly.

I recently enjoyed a wonderful vacation at Castello Village Resort in Sissi. The overall experience was lovely, with friendly and helpful staff, a great variety of breakfast options, and beautiful sea views from the rooms. However, there were some issues with room availability and the pool area could be larger. I had a fantastic time exploring the local area and participating in cultural experiences, but some facilities and service aspects fell short of expectations.

Breakfast offered a good variety, but it could use a bit more creativity instead of some items appearing recycled from the evening before.

The facilities were adequate, but the pool area was smaller than expected, related to a resort spa theme that wasn't fully realized.
