The Olimpo is situated at the top of a steep hill and accessed by 2 lifts holding 6 people each followed by 2 funiculars holding 16 people each. There was ony ever 1 lift or funicular working. Getting to the hotel became a nightmare. The hotel hosts many weddings who use the public rooms and lounges. There is nowhere to... more

Stayed two weeks June 09. Hotel a little old fashioned but the friendly staff,good selection of buffet meals,spectacular views and general ambience more than made up for it. Good pool area with ample sunbeds.Easy entertainment evenings on the terrace.You quickly get used to using the rail and lifts to get down to sea level. Letojanni village is a working town.Some... more

We stayed at the Olimpo hotel with a group of colleagues from several european countries. The stay was organised by Saga and we were lucky to have the services of the excellent Saga organiser who made all the arrangements without overcrowding the programme. We found the hotel staff friendly for such a large hotel and had no complaints about the... more

Just returned from 1 week and the Olimpo with Saga on an all inclusive basis. Cannot fault Saga the rep was very good. The Hotel as described is up at the top of a hill with lvoely views over the sea, must pay for a seaview as rooms at the back were not very good according to our fellow travellers.... more

The only problem encountered was the original room overlooked the kitchen and was at the back of the hotel; after making a complaint to the reception staff; who was helpful, but indicated that we had only booked a standard... more

We read the reviews before booking and decided to take a chance bearing in mind a lot of the adverse comments. We are glad we did. The accommodation was good, staff were very friendly and the food was really good with a large choice at dinner and breakfast. We had a pac ked lunch on one day and it was... more

We have recently returned after a week at the Olimpo. Our room was on the top floor with a sea view and was one of the largest we have stayed in anywhere; it was spotless as was the rest of the hotel. We had clean towels every day, requested or not and the bed linen was changed mid-stay. There was... more

We stayed for 2 weeks on a half-board basis. Previous reviewers have mentioned the impressive setting of the hotel and access to it via a foot tunnel, lift and funicular. The 2 lifts which operate from ground level to the first level (Antares) take only 6 people and this can lead to delays if they break down or you arrive... more
