Overall pretty poor. definitely not a four star rated hotel. I always stay in 4 star or greater and this def. is not. ants everywhere that seem to drag cockraches back to your apartements in their little work teams. standards of rooms are 2-3 star at a push. and no air con - approx 37deg. c. when we stayed and kept waking up cos of dehydration. this eventually led to my illness and was bed ridden for 3 to 4 days.
the food was limited and did not help my cause. all tasted of olive oil - even the soup. ice cream selection during the afternoon is just a joke as kids are allowed to help themselves - imagine the mess. over run by germans - only 1 other english couple at the hotel the week we stayed and a bunch of english guys who were obviously enjoying the nightlife of faliraki as 3 mornings in a row at approx 1-2am they came in and woke us up. we were on ground floor after requesting high floor and needless to say the walls transmit the sounds of adjacent rooms wuite clearly. this group of lads were eventually ejected due to noise and fighting amongst themselves - so that was good.
only 2 english tv channels and this is worth remembering when the entertainment put on by the hotel is all in german and of poor "butlins" style quality. lack of real variety. kid based enterntainment really.
also a good 15-20 mins walk from the centre. and is up a gradual incline.
sunloungers around the pool were, as usual, claimed by the arrogant germans / dutch early in the morning and this really gets up my nose. needless to say they are not happy when you throw their towels to the ground in disgust and they turn up approx 2 hours later looking for them - i mean where were they for all that time - in the pool - i dont think so. C'mon Brits stand up for yourselves - it is in the hotel handbook that they are not allowed to claim loungers.
fixed sprinklers come on first thing in the morning and drench the balconies so beware if you have towels out to dry or are out with your moring juice on the balcony.
pools are over chlorinated and after 60 min session in the pool i had to go to the chemist for anti-histamine as took reaction it was that bad - so be careful in there.
but i would say that this level of chlorination is essential as the toilets are not well signposted and in my opinion were not used all that frequently by users of the pool and pool bar. not many actually seemed all that bothered to get out of the pool to use these.
all inclusive is not worth the money at this hotel - the food is of poor variety and quality and there were NO traditional greek meals on the menu for the whole 7 nights we stayed. no mousakka or stifado or anything ??? poor poor poor.
will not be staying at any of the luca hotels again in my life.
