Despite some relatively poor reviews we found the Hotel Despo to be excellent value for money. The staff are very very friendly, always greeting you and helping out with any trips/problems(not that we had any). The rooms are basic but very clean and kept tidy by the friendly cleaning ladies, all with a balcony. The food is excellent, fresh every... more

I had read the reviews of this hotel and arrived with a certain amount of aprehension, but I need not have worried as everything was just perfect. We arrived at about 11:00pm and Reception was fully staffed and they couldn't have been more helpful, even though there were about 10 couples plus children checking in. It was completed in very... more

Before I went to this hotel I was really worried as all I had read were bad reviews, don't believe them. This hotel is spotless and all the staff are helpful and friendly. The food was great (all greek which suited me), reckon I've put on half a stone in a week! 'We had decided to upgrade to a superior... more

Clean, lovelyand near the beach. What more could you want. STAFF- helpful and kind. 'Manwel' in the restaurant was an absolute hoot and a lovely chap. Cleaners are brilliant. Bartenders are also lovely. FOOD & DRINK - Breakfast is minimal but nice (breads, fruits, cereals, meats, cheese, juices etc) Never had lunch but dinner is lovely, lots of selection. Alcoholic... more

WE have just had a 10 day holiday all inclusive. The welcome was excellent. The room (superior) had wonderful views of the mountains and... more

My husband and I stayed at the Despo for 2 weeks at the end of August. We booked a late deal over the internet and after reading the reviews, I was a bit worried. All I can say is, I don't know what people expect! OK, it wasn't 5*, but then we didn't pay a 5* price. The room was... more

My partner and I have just returned from two weeks all inc. at The Hotel Despo. We thought that the hotel itself was quite nice. The rooms were clean, the hotel staff were friendly enough, the gardens were very well looked after as was the pool area. The food was more than adequate and pretty much what we had expected... more

We just returned from a week at the Despo and could not be happier. The rooms were impeccable, the staff (including Mr Happy who can be quite talkative if you actually bother to speak to him as an equal) were friendly, courteous and helpful. The food was rather plain but extremely good value considering the price we paid. The drinks... more
