PANORAMA STUDIOS & APARTMENTS

Our 9th visit to Panorama. From the moment you step into hotel you know you can relax. From our first time to our latest visit we’ve always had the same warm welcome, a friendly smile from Mavra, Nikki or Dave that says ‘you are gonna be ok here’. The rooms are clean, linen changed regularly and the kitchen has all you need to be able to rustle up a breakfast or a snack at lunch. Lots of places to eat a short walk away. We particularly enjoyed Zorba’s, Fidelio’s and Koukounari especially this year. It is easy to book trips to see other parts of the island in the nearby centre of Alykes (about 15 minute amble around the salt flats) and the hotel has its own car rental next door should you want to view the beautiful island independently. The Panorama Greek night is not to be missed - BBQ, live music, dancing, plate smashing and great party feel. We started going as a family with young children and still love returning now the kids sort out their own holidays. As the saying goes ‘we’ll be back’.

I came home a couple of weeks ago from my 4th stay at panorama and as usual a fantastic experiance. Great room with regular maid service n linen change. Great facilities. Well kept communiual areas and a great pool bar serving good standard food n drink at reasonable prices. Last but not least Great greek hospitality.

Panorama is a very special place. Location is excellent- placed at the back of the salt flats, you only have a few minutes walk to an excellent supermarket and just a ten minute stroll to the main area with restaurants, tavernas and the beach. Panorama was built and is owned by the wonderful Leftaki family who will do everything in their power to make your stay a memorable one. Running an apartments/studio hotel like this is incredibly difficult, but any issues or faults, they are quick to rectify if you raise it. The place is full of repeat returners, some as long as 20 odd years, which tells you the kind of place it is. The place is a little slice of paradise away from home- the beds are very comfortable, excellent air conditioning if you choose to use it. The accommodation is typically Greek, providing you with all you need- a kettle, cooking hob, hair dryer, a cleaner every day etc. Beds are changed every few days but made every day. The pool is very good, with ladder access both ends and a generous baby pool. There’s plenty of sun beds and not too many wars to get one. The family also run a car hire facility, so the option to travel around at great prices is there. We chose to book a car for a week and visit some of our favourite spots- special mention to Cavo Di Zolfo…. A must visit!! Our view is You will go to Panorama as a guest, but leave as a friend. We cannot recommend Panorama enough. Thank you for the memories once again, Mavra, Nikki, Denis & family. x

Once again, we had an absolutely wonderful family holiday at Panorama Studios & Apartments in Alykes, staying for 10 nights in June. Every year we return, and every year we’re reminded why this special place feels like our home from home. Panorama is lovingly run by the wonderful Dionisis, Mavra, and Niki whose genuine warmth and hospitality are second to none. From the moment you arrive, you’re welcomed like family, and by the time you leave, you’ve made friends for life. Nothing is ever too much trouble, and they work tirelessly to ensure every guest has a relaxing and memorable holiday. The location is perfect, set in a peaceful area alongside the natural Salt Flats, yet only a few minutes’ walk from the beach, shops, restaurants and everything Alykes has to offer. It really is the best of both worlds: quiet and relaxing, while still being close to all the amenities. The apartments and surrounding areas are kept spotlessly clean thanks to the fantastic housekeeping team, who do an amazing job every single day. The high standards throughout the property are a real credit to everyone involved. This year’s visit was made even more special as we were lucky enough to be there for Panorama’s 40th anniversary celebrations. It was a wonderful and emotional evening that perfectly reflected everything Panorama stands for; warm hospitality, generosity, great company and a real sense of community. It was a privilege to share such a special milestone with the family and fellow guests. The bar area continues to serve excellent food and drinks at very reasonable prices, with a great choice of tasty snacks and refreshing beverages throughout the day. It’s another reason why spending time around the pool is always such a pleasure. If you’re looking for a place where you’ll receive a genuinely warm welcome, enjoy a peaceful location, and be looked after by a family who truly care about their guests, Panorama Studios & Apartments is the perfect choice. We arrived as guests and left as friends once again, already looking forward to returning next year. Thank you, Mavra, Niki and Dionisis, for another unforgettable holiday. See you again soon!

Where do I even begin? We’ve been coming to Panorama Apartments in Alykes for the last 10 years, and every visit feels like coming home. From day one, Mavra and her family have gone above and beyond to make us feel welcome, and over the years they’ve become genuine friends rather than just hosts. The hospitality is second to none – nothing is ever too much trouble, and you’re always greeted with a smile. The rooms are always spotless, comfortable, and well looked after, and the gardens and surrounding areas are beautifully maintained, creating such a relaxing atmosphere. One of the highlights of every holiday is the Greek night. It’s always a fantastic evening with delicious food, great music, dancing, and plenty of laughs. It’s the perfect way to experience the warmth and friendliness that makes Panorama so special. We’ve made so many wonderful memories here over the years, and that’s why we keep coming back. Panorama isn’t just a place to stay – it’s a place that feels like family. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone visiting Alykes, and we’re already looking forward to our Next visit in August

If you’re looking for 5 star luxury definitely don’t go here but for a budget holiday in the sun it’s ideal . We had to pay 14 euros tax , 60 euros for the week air con and 12 euros for the safe so straight away we were almost an additional 100 euros you really couldn’t do without the air con . The shower cubicle was the tiniest shower I’ve ever been in if you were overweight you’d struggle . We had ants crawling about the kitchen which wasn’t ideal . The chairs outside had seen better days but done the job . I thought the bed was comfy enough the staff were all really nice and we really enjoyed the Greek night . Location is pretty ideal a few minutes walk from the beach , shops and restaurants . The pool was decent nice and warm and had no issues getting a lounger . The cleaners seemed to do a great job and the apartment was always left clean and tidy. A few basic improvements would help .

Disappointed with the accommodation. Perhaps we just had one of the worst rooms. On arriving there was none of this much mentioned family welcome, but the person who was behind the bar did say we had to pay for tax/aircon/safe in cash, which we hadnt been advised of in advance. As soon as we got to the room door we could smell the sewage type smell which never disappeared. The room was large, however the bathroom was so small that you had do a bit of shuffling to get out once you were in and using the sink. The shower space was tiny and the shower part was not properly fixed to the wall, so sometimes you had to hold it yourself. The bath was slippery when showering and no shower mat was provided. Water came up through the drain in the bathroom and made the floor wet. The bathroom door did not close and the lock/door handle needed repair. We had a strange oblong thing in the room which I think may have been an extra bed, although there were only two of us and I saw nice settees in other rooms. The tap in the apartment was filthy and there was no hot water at that sink. No English TV channels - yes I know, we dont go on holiday to watch TV all the time, but since all clients seemed to be English something would been welcome, especially for later in the evening. We tried to use the Wifi to listen to the radio, but the wifi in the room wasnt good enough to do that. One of the bedside lights didnt work. There was a sign at the pool saying if you were caught eating or drinking anything not bought from them, you would need to pay them tax which they would need to pass on to the Government - but these were apartments, not a hotel, and other apartments have been fine with this. The Greek night was disappointing food wise - just a main course, not even a blob of yoghurt or ice cream for dessert. The chicken was too tough to eat. I had a sandwich for lunch which managed to be half toasted and soggy at the same time. I did not ask for things to be mended because there was too much and we didnt want to spend the whole week waiting in for people and going to and from the bar to speak to people. During the week I did not see any sign of a handyman etc, And we did not ask to be moved because why would they give us a rubbish room if better was available? - when we arrived it was barely half full so I can't seem any reason for them to give us a rubbish room. I appreciate many people give this place top marks , but that wasnt my experience. That apartment needed some serious tlc.

Stayed at the panorama family run hotel for 9nights, asked for a low floor which was granted. Our room was spotless with a lovely view of the pool, a big shout out to all the cleaners who worked tirelessly. Now for the family mavra and nicki went above and beyond for all guests, shame some do not appreciate it. Breakfast was cooked to order fresh and tasty. Pool spotless with comfy beds, we would not hesitate to stay at this hotel in the future, sooner rather than later. Missing our gin and tonic early evening, keep up the good work. Hope your 40th celebrations went well, just sorry we missed it. Thank you for your lovely hospitality.

Recently back from a week here and I would not recommend it. We had ants in our family room so couldn't use the facilities for self catering. They did spray the room but that didn't help. The room was shabby and tired, damp on the walls which was rectified when I spoke to the rep along with replacing the shower head. Things you shouldn't need to complain about. The kitchen tap wasn't fitted properly, the kettle didn't cut off when it boiled. The mattresses were really hard. The chairs on the balcony had seen better days. The bathroom door was bodged and had to slam it shut and the shower cubicle is so small . The overall appearance looks tired and the picture advertised is not what it's like when you arrive. The food was good and couldn't fault the cleaners. The area is nice and plenty of places to eat, staff are helpful. There's no service around the pool area so glasses left by other guests until the end of the day. Other guests also taking their own food to the pool area when signs saying you can't but staff never said anything to them.

Just arrived back from here after 11 nights. Myself and daughter had a lovely time, nothing was too much trouble from management to the cleaners. It’s a real family affair especially the Greek night which involved the youngest starting the night with a song and cousin on the bazooka not to be missed.The place is immaculate, breakfast is lovely just ordering off menu and freshly cooked. We won on bingo but failed on quiz but was all good fun. I would definitely recommend this hotel in a lovely resort run by a lovely family thankyou.

Just returned from a brilliant week in Alykes staying at the wonderful Panorama Apartments . We normally opt for all inclusive resorts but decided to take a chance due to the great reviews - and we are so glad we did ! We feel so lucky to have found Panorama . A great location ( few minutes walk to town and beautiful beach ) , clean rooms and most importantly a fantastic service from Mavra and the whole family . The Greek night was an absolute blast ! We constantly felt that everyone at Panorama genuinely wanted us to have a great time and would do anything they could to make that happen .they were happy to answer any questions and give advice . We booked direct so had the free transfers and aircon which was a nice bonus . If you are wondering whether to give Panorama a visit - you won’t regret saying yes ! And the town itself has everything you need , plenty of brilliant restaurants (Fidelio and Koukounari were our favourites ) and cafes and the beach js amazing - you can walk miles out and still only be waist high in water . We have a rule that we never holiday at the same place twice - I think we may just have found the place that makes us break our own rule . We will be back !!

We stayed here with at the beginning of May with our children and grandchildren as a group of eight.It was perfect....... The welcome when we arrived was really great and that continued for the whole week. The rooms were kept spotlessly clean and that was due to the wonderful cleaners. What a great job they do and I hope they get recognised for their hard work.... We were lucky that the pool area wasn't busy and our two grandchildren had a great time in the pool. We thoroughly enjoyed our week here and would highly recommend it.

Excellent from the owners the staff the cleaners everyone was so friendly. We had a wonderful family holiday .the bar area the pool and the accommodation all excellent, couldn’t fault it.
