Mandali Hotel

We have just had the best ten days at this hotel. Food great. Pool great. Room great. Location great. What trumps all of this? The staff….. Incredible. They do everything to make you feel welcome and create a really happy environment. Paresh in particular is an absolute gem any restaurant and bar would be very lucky to have him. Well done to everyone at the Mandali you gave us a holiday to remember.

Fantastic holiday with the family, was the sixth time visiting the hotel and was still a lovely place. Can’t beat the friendly staff all with their smiles and very polite, can’t do enough for you. Food was great from breakfast to dinner something for everyone. Somethings had changed since our last visit but nothing that bothered us.. some for the better. Great location for our morning walk on the beach then to our stroll to the strip of an evening.. We will be back

We have been to the Mandali Hotel before and really love the location. 2 mins walk onto the beach and 2 minute walk to the main shops, bars and restaurants yet the hotel has a beautiful relaxed vibe. The rooms are nicely set out, comfortable and are spotlessly clean. Daily housekeeping keeps things fresh. Being a smaller hotel, it is relaxed and quiet, perfect for our needs. Nothing is too much trouble and the service is very good. The restaurant has a great variety of really good food. There is always something for everyone. Breakfast is very good. The restaurant mirrored the relaxed vibe of the hotel and the staff are very attentive without being intrusive. A special mention for Lefteris (restaurant manager) who goes above and beyond to make sure everything is just right. I wouldn't hesitate to book the Mandali Hotel again, great location, relaxed vibe, friendly service and very good rooms. Thank you for a brilliant stay.

The location was excellent. Just a few minutes from the beach, and a few minutes to the restaurant strip. The room was a good size, with a beautiful view to the sea. Breakfast was good. Water pressure was low. No shampoo or conditioner, and soap bottle nearly empty. Towels were small and worn. Room could have been cleaner. On the first night, they supplied small packets of instant coffee, but these were not replenished during our stay, (despite my requests). One reason we reserved this hotel was that we knew that in May the sea could be cold, and the hotel advertised an indoor pool. The indoor pool was unheated and in fact colder than the outdoor pool (20 degrees). Another disappointment was that we were celebrating my husband's birthday and our 35th anniversary. Upon check in, I asked the receptionist of she could refer me to a bakery to buy a cake or to help me get some sort of baked goods or fruit from the hotel to surprise him. I offered to pay for this. They never came through. The manager did invite us to coffee "on the house" next to the pool (but that hardly constitutes a birthday celebration.) There was also no recognition of our anniversary. We bought our own wine but it took me two days to persuade them to provide us with two wine glasses and of course no note or acknowledgment from the hotel. Receptionist also had no recommendations for restaurants, and she just waved vaguely in the direction of the strip and in an annoyed tone, commented " there are lots of restaurants, you will find them"

The hotel is no longer ran by the family, they have put a management company in and all staff that were there, are now gone! We were friendly with guests staying there, who have been going for many years and they were really saddened that staff had been finished. They reported that new restaurant manager was often unprofessionally shouting at staff in front of guests, I can only hope that’s not how it’s going to be for the rest of the season. They stated they wouldn’t return as it had lost the ‘family run’ feeling. Sunbeds do appear to have been upgraded for 2026 tho’ seemed to be a lot more pushed together….great if you like to get up close and personal with randoms, not so great if you don’t! Food reported to be a big let down, tho’ to be fair it has been for several years and I’m not the only person to think so. Various new kiddy entertainment machines delivered to pool area during our stay at Golden Star (opposite) and the old dining room is still out of use….total waste of space. Maybe the new management will tackle that, if they’ve not alienated half the guests?
