The facilities were decent overall, with lovely gardens and access to the beach. However, both pools were quite busy with families, which made it less relaxing at times.

We had a wonderful time at the hotel with stunning views and fantastic food. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and we loved the vibrant evening entertainment. However, the location on a high hill poses a challenge for families with babies since it requires quite a workout to navigate. Additionally, the dining options could use improvement in variety, especially for those not on an all-inclusive plan.

Our stay at the Hotel Apollonia Beach Resort and Spa was a delightful experience, especially with the exceptional spa services that left us feeling rejuvenated. The staff was generally friendly, and we enjoyed our time by the pools and beach. However, the proximity to a power station was a bit distracting, and there were minor issues with the room's bathroom door and lack of artwork. Overall, it was a pleasant family vacation with good dining options and fun activities for the kids.
