Absolutely horrendous. Christofinia Hotel made a serious administrative error and pressured me through my entire stay for payment to ‘resolve it’. Despite my cooperation and having provided multiple pieces of written proof that the error was not my fault, I was pressured for money multiple times per day. They threatened police involvement if payment was not made. The stay was incredibly stressful and upsetting. I strongly urge people travelling to the area to choose one of the many local hotels nearby instead. Christofinia Hotel is deliberately unresponsive: they told me to send emails to defunct email addresses in order to delay responses until after my refund period had ended. They do not respond to guests before they travel, instead bullying them once they arrive. The manager, named either ‘Kiga’ or ‘Effie’ (as she gave different names), behaves unprofessionally with an aggressive manner and no understanding of proper conduct. I had never previously been shouted at by hotel staff at the front desk before. Before booking with Christofinia, ask yourself if that is what you’d like to deal with on the way to breakfast with your family. I am shocked and appalled that this has happened and will be lodging a formal complaint.

Dear Mrs. Melody,we would like to address the concerns you have raised and clarify the circumstances surrounding your stay.Upon your arrival, it was noted that your original booking, made through Expedia, was for one adult. Despite this, you arrived with an additional guest. As a gesture of goodwill and to provide you with a positive experience, we allowed you both to check in, based on your assurance that the situation would be rectified the following day. Unfortunately, despite our attempts to contact you through the room phone and the phone number you provided, there was no response or follow-up from you until much later.When we were eventually able to speak with you, it was explained that, as per the booking information we received from Expedia, no modification had been made to reflect a second guest. Therefore, the appropriate charge for the additional guest’s accommodation would apply. You indicated that you believed an amendment had been made through Expedia, and we extended you the opportunity to resolve this with them.Throughout your stay, we made several attempts to verify this with Expedia, and on each occasion, the booking confirmation remained unchanged—indicating that it was for one person only. Despite this, we fully understand that you may have experienced frustration with the booking process and sought clarification from Expedia directly. After being informed by Expedia of the consequences for not settling the balance, you returned to the reception, where we engaged in further discussions.Therefore, we reject the suggestion that there was any failure on the part of our staff or processes. We made every effort to assist you and provide flexibility, despite the discrepancy in your booking.Reservations Department

Disgusting old toilets and furniture. Sea View room had no sea view and a double room consists of two gnome sized single beds pushed together. Everything is old and broken and the food is greasy and gross.
When we tried to move our parents to Atlantica Aeneas where we were staying they refused a refund.
This hotel barely scrapes 3* let alone 4. If Atlantica Aeneas has rooms at the time of you looking go with them you will not be disappointed. This hotel on the other hand is full of unpleasant surprises.

Upon my checkin, I was informed they have technical issues and that I will be allocated to other hotel. That hotel was very nice. Im grateful to Christofinia hotel for arranging this, it was highly appreciated. Big thanks!
Room was clean, spacious and the AC waa good.
Breakfast was super tasty.
Now negative side:
**No water available during dinner!!!!!!!!!!
You need to ask waiters to get a glass of water. It would not be the issue is the restaurant was not packed with people and only few waiters. Basically you finish your dinner before you get your water. Bring your own water, my advice. Yes, it happens in 4* hotel. One waiter finally approached me and asked me what I would like to have. I said coca cola, I guessed it is included as they just asked. But no, ai got the bill with my coke.
**Dinner is from 7pm to 9.30pm. I went once to eat at 8pm, most of food trays were empty. That was the only time I went for dinner for my entire stay.
**Espresso machine in room but you have to buy pods lol, they sell it 1eur per pod hahahhaha. Why putting espresso machine as part of amenities if you do not provide coffee?
**Pool sunbeds dated, almost impossible to lay down. There are new ones as well but so many old ones.
**Seaview room I got, you need binoculars to see the sea.

Уютный небольшой отель для семей с детьми. Удобно, красиво, чисто и недалеко от моря. Очень рекомендую.

The staff were lovely and very helpful. The food was disappointing especially, for a vegetarian, apart from the soups. They were delicious

The proprietors were very friendly and helpful aswell as all their staff. The location was easy access to the beach if you dont mind sand in your toes. Only criticism would be the pool towels were a little too small.

Hotel room was not available for first night due to flood, so moved to another hotel Nissiana for one night, that was a lovely hotel and we will probably book to go there next time.
Once we got back to Christofinia, our promised upgraded room (due to having to move on the first night) was not available, so they upgraded our board from B&B to Half Board, then onto Full Board after discussion.
Sarah in reception was very kind and friendly and should be a very valued member of the team.
Hotel has a lovely clean pool and there was always sunbeds at any time of the day.
The food was hotel average, I could not work out why the hot food a breakfast was only luke warm at best and in the evening it was hot.
Only one set of 3 very slow coffee machines at breakfast, so queues formed, they could do with another set on the other side to avoid this, or even just a hot water urn and tea bags/coffee sticks.
The bed was a bit hard for me, however they put on a mattress topper straight away, which made it much better.
There is a kettle and cups in the room, though you may want to bring your own tea and coffee.
Free safe and air conditioning.
Most waiting staff efficient, only the lady with the glasses was always smiling and spoke to you.
They appeared to be bumping a lot of customers out on the first night so not sure how many rooms were 'out of action' or some other booking issue.
