We had a lovely family holiday at this resort, enjoying the clean beach and numerous pools. The kids had a blast with the entertaining animation team, but the accommodation fell short with outdated rooms and food that could use improvement. Overall, the experience was enjoyable, though upgrading the rooms and enhancing the dining options would elevate the stay even more.

Rooms

The room we stayed in was disappointing, with issues like paint peeling and a strong smell in the bathroom. It really needs an upgrade to match the rest of the resort.

We had a fantastic family holiday! The hotel had great facilities, especially for the kids, with clean pools and a wonderful beach. The staff was extremely polite and resolved our room issue promptly. However, we did face some challenges with the crowded dining areas and sunbed availability, which could be improved.

Rooms

The family junior suite we received was clean and suitable for our needs, featuring two separate sleeping areas which was ideal for our kids. It did lack a bit of style that I expected from a five-star resort.

Location

The hotel's location is really nice for exploring nearby attractions such as Lake Kournas, but it does feel somewhat isolated. If you're not keen on driving far, this could limit your options.

We had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the facilities, especially the pools and beach access, were impressive, the service left a lot to be desired, particularly in terms of rudeness from some staff and slow drink orders. The dining options were mediocre, and we faced issues with room allocation and amenities. Overall, it’s a decent place for a family getaway, but I wouldn’t classify it as the luxurious experience we expected.

Rooms

Our standard family room was cramped and lacked privacy, but they quickly moved us to a junior suite, which was more spacious but still had minimal amenities.

We enjoyed our stay at Pilot Beach Resort, where the staff were genuinely welcoming and the activities for our kids made it a perfect family vacation. The variety and quality of dining were really impressive, especially the buffet options. The rooms were clean, but they didn't quite have that luxurious feel expected from a five-star resort. While the beach was fabulous, access to the restaurants sometimes felt a bit chaotic, particularly during peak times. Overall, great value for what we paid, but a few small tweaks could elevate the experience even more.
