Panorama Sidari - All inclusive

The food was the standout for me: loads of variety, a new theme every day, and easily the best quality I've had at an all inclusive. The pool was spotless and kept at a lovely temperature. At 2.5m, it's seriously deep, you can feel the pressure when you dive down to the bottom. I had a wonderful seven days here. The pool bar had good, strong drinks, friendly staff, and snacks like ice cream, pancakes, waffles, chips, nuggets, sandwiches and baguettes between meals. The animation team and other staff were fantastic, and the evening entertainment was the usual all inclusive fun. The rooms could do with refurbishment, though ours was fine, with clean, comfortable beds and effective air conditioning. There is a gym, but it's very much a basic hotel setup: two treadmills, two bikes, dumbbells up to 12.5kg and a rickety cable multi-gym. Fine for a little pump before the pool, but not a proper workout if you lift weights. With all the eating and drinking, that was enough for me. My one real gripe was the coffee. It tasted fine but seemed to have no caffeine at all. A strong filter coffee at breakfast would be great.

The food was unbelievable, with different theme nights, and there was food by the pool too. The staff were friendly and always ready to help, and we even got a shot with our evening meal. We'd just come back from seven nights and had a great stay. Don't let the hill put you off, there's a buggy to take you to your room, so the hotel can work for different needs. Our room was lovely, though I would've liked the mattress a little softer. Daytime entertainment was good. In the evening, it felt as though it only ran for about an hour, and the kids' disco could start earlier and go on longer. We'd come back.

The food was probably the best all inclusive I've had. There was lots to choose from, it was tasty, and the daily themes kept things interesting. I especially loved the potatoes. We'd just spent seven nights here with my husband and our five year old, and the hotel worked brilliantly for us. Our room was absolutely fine despite what I'd read beforehand, with comfy beds, working air con, and a great view from block 7. The grounds are well kept, and all the staff were lovely. I enjoyed chatting with the lady in the shop and one of the buggy drivers. The animation team worked so hard. I had a shuffleboard game with Alex, and my daughter already misses Deni. The evening shows were fun too. My daughter loved the magic show, and the MJ tribute made us laugh, despite the gremlins! The beach is a short walk away, and the strip and Canal D'Amour are only 5-10 minutes away. We already miss the place. My daughter cried when we had to leave yesterday. Thanks for making our stay so lovely. I'd recommend it to families.

We spent ten wonderful days here and wouldn't hesitate to return. It was my first trip to Greece, and the place had just the right amount of activity. The rooms were spacious, if a little basic, and both the housekeeping and food were good. Staff and locals were friendly. One of my family members had a birthday during our stay. For a small fee, the restaurant dressed the table, brought out a cake, and did a birthday celebration.
