Patmos and especially Aktis Suites is my go-to place every summer. I love the location, the hotel and everything about it. Service is flawless, people are warm and friendly, rooms are big and spacious. Everyone working there makes you feel like you are a guest in their home. Due to pandemic, I couldn't visit the island for the past 2 years, this year it felt so good to be back, it felt like uniting with the family, a caring family that is ;))
This was our 6th visit to Patmos Aktis and we were so happy to be back New owners and management with some familiar faces we were happy to see. Due to covid they have had to hire a lot of new staff who were all trying their best to please. The reception is run by the very efficient Dionysea who also happens to be charming. The location is superb on Grikos beach with functional spacious rooms and comfortable beds, the quality of the bed linen and towels is first rate. Good choice for breakfast, tasty Greek food at the taverna and there is a diverse bar menu. The main restaurant is work in progress since we arrived a few days after the opening but we had some excellent dishes. As always we were sad to leave but hope we will be back:-)
If it was a 3 star hotel, it would get 5 stars. It is good, possibly the 'best' on the island, but not 5 star. Some of the deluxe suites have tiny balconies (e.g. 705, 707) and the pool area is a bit wasted: looks nice to swim-up to your room, but no one used it in the week we were there. The poor lifeguard must have been so bored. Didn't like the smell of cigarettes coming from the office behind reception. Good food, not so good cocktails.
A fantastic beachfront resort with amazing views, perfect beach and very comfortable sunbeds. It was very clean and stylish. The breakfast was amazing, as well as lunch/dinner. We will come back again.
First of all the good ; Superb location with very comfortable sun beds Some of the staff are lovely and genuinely want to help you enjoy your stay The rooms are comfortable Now the bad ; We had not visited Patmos before and did not know how far the hotel was from the port We contacted the hotel who told us they could collect us for a cost of 30 euro’s I was a little surprised as usually in Greece this is a free service When we got to the hotel we realised this is a complete rip off The cost of the trip in a taxi 7 euros When I complained about this as we checked out it was met by a shrug of the shoulders That is the problem with this place it has an arrogance and thinks it’s better than it is and some of the staff have a superior almost arrogant attitude because “ it’s 5 star “ Also prices in the bar are extortionate 12 euros for a gin ( it’s 6 euros at the bar nearby ) Finally you will find a nespresso machine in your room once you have had the four pods on arrival that’s it We tried to get new pods but despite numerous reminders they never arrived I know that over the years Greek hotels have upped their game but sadly the corporate world is not the Greece I know and love…
We stayed at Atkis for the second time to feel it's relaxed, democratic sophistication and luxury and to experience some great food. Breakfast never disappoints and offers a wide range of options to choose from while enjoying the unforgettable view of Grikos Bay. Both the restaurant menu and the bar food menu are excellent. For when you fancy some traditional dishes there is a taverna next to the hotel so Atkis offers a wide range of food options to choose from. The hotel is perfectly located for relaxing on the beach, using the spa or gong for hicking trips. The views are worth one or two hiking trips. Staff are very friendly and helpful. We stayed here are 9 nights and are like a looking forward to staying here again.
We have been staying at this hotel for over 5 years missing out 2020 due to Covid. We were so delighted to be back this year in June for 3 weeks and could have stayed 3 months. We are well travelled and have stayed in some amazing hotels but Patmos Aktis has a special place in our hearts. The atmosphere is laid back and we could define it as understated luxury. Everything from the incredible staff who are so kind and welcoming and go above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect to the location on Grikos Beach a unique spot on Patmos with crystal clear turquoise waters close by. The taverna serves good food and the massages by Crista at the spa are simply extraordinary. Thank you Dionysia, Athena, Lea for your efforts and kindness, you and your team have raised the bar very high. A special thanks to Vassilis for picking us up at Skala and taking us back on departure which was a sad day~:-( We hope we will be back soon.…
Very bad hotel .Don’t Recommend! Not worth the money. Better renting a villa than a hotel in Patmos.Average rooms with uncomfortable beds and often they forget to clean the rooms.Not a pleasant experience
Spent 3 weeks island hopping and Patmos Aktis was a highlight of my trip! Hotel staff was incredibly helpful, friendly and warm. Both restaurants were excellent (and made an incredible lemon tart!) Location is perfect for relaxing on the property or exploring Petra beach within walking distance. Can easily get to Scala or Chora by car. Thanks to the entire team at Patmos Atkis for the memorable stay.
Loved the accommodation and helpful staff. Will visit again next year. Rooms were clean. Restaurants on the property were great and provided variety of local and traditional food. Spa was a wonderful place to relax with full body massage and facial. Hotel faces a cove with calm water that you can swim in for hours.
