Irida Hotel Agia Pelagia

Seems very brand new cos opened 2 weeks ago after long renovation works. But still needs some improvements just like flowing waters from shower booth into the toilet and show tap?

We stayed in the top penthouse and it was an amazing treat, nice views, private pool with a very well equipped outdoor area overlooking the bay. The room was spacious, comftable and all the amenities required. It was the perfect spot for a couples break.

We spent very relaxing seven days at Irida. The apartment was in front of the pool, with a beautiful seaview. The stuff is amazing, always friendly and supportive! We booked with breakfast which was fine for myself while my husband would love to have more choice. You have to walk 400m/5 min downhill, where also a lot of restaurants are located. Agia Pelagia is a good starting point for day trips around the Island by car ( stuff was very helpful here as well). Two points to considering for improvement: the pillow are not comfortable and the missing shower at the pool area. Overall, it was such a beautiful time that we decided to definetly come back again to Hotel Irida.

Check-in: We did check in around 11pm which was late, but we never got told/shown where the amenities were around the hotel, e.g. where breakfast was held, the gym, spa etc. These were all things we had to go to reception and ask about when we needed them. Room: Studio next to reception. Not sound proof and right next to the road and underneath the restaurant- not the quietest. Room was perfectly clean, the house maids were great. The bed and pillows were not particularly comfortable. The small kitchenette is not well equipped and as we chose to self cater this trip it was a bit disappointing. The assisted fan above the hob had its wire cut and therefore couldn’t be put on, so the studio would get very smokey when cooking. This resulted in us setting off the hotel fire alarm on two occasions. The kitchen utensils were 3 sets of cutlery, one pot and one frying pan. The appliances were a 2 place hob, fridge, microwave, kettle and a coffee machine - you need to pay for more coffee pods after you use your first complimentary 2. This should be complimentary restocked on a daily basis. The sink in the kitchen didn’t produce hot water so we had to fill up the kettle to wash our dishes. The cupboard hiding the fridge wasn’t correctly measured/fitted and would scrape along the floor every time we opened and closed the fridge. We had bought bottles of wine and there was no cork screw to open them in the kitchen so we had to go to the bar and get one, which meant the bar tender had to come down to our room and open them. Breakfast: Staff were lovely. As a vegetarian I felt like the breakfast wasn’t great, not any cooked food options apart from broccoli and peas (which I don’t particularly like to eat at breakfast time). My husband found the breakfast to be okay as he could have eggs, bacon etc everyday. Gym: Outdoor gym with some equipment and weights. WiFi doesn’t work there though. Pool area: the bottom one was very chilled and relaxing. Spa: It isn’t a spa. It’s a wooden pergola at the top of the hotel with curtains round it and one massage table inside. Spur of the moment I wanted a treatment so I went to reception to ask about availability and was told that the therapist only worked 5/7 days. Luckily myself and my husband booked in for a treatment on our first day and got them on our last day. The therapist was lovely and my massage was really good and relaxing. Yoga: we assumed yoga would be available every morning, however it was only available on a Tuesday and Friday. This was disappointing but I asked for yoga mats and we done it in our studio every morning.

Our first time in the Irida Hotel, what an experience. We can only say it exceeded all our expectations. We enjoyed our stay in this very nice renovated hotel. It looked already great on the pictures but in real it’s even better. Nice clean room, great rain shower, great view over the sea, delicious dinners at the restaurant and various lunches at the pool bar. And let’s not forget the kind people from the staff and at the pool bar and restaurant. Nothing is to much and they help you where they can to make your stay perfect. We certainly will come back again. Lovely greetings Martin and Ria Room 221

Everything in this hotel is beautiful (rooms, swimming pool, sea view) professional friendly staff, great cocktails delicious food the best chef ‍ I will definitely stay there again.

A hotel that feels more like a family, who look after guests and have a lovely atmosphere. The hotel is lovely with a good variety of rooms and styles. The restaurant is fantastic - even top 10 through TripAdvisor and the staff including the manager always go above and beyond. Although we have been coming for years, and do love the place, it always exceeds expectations and we would absolutely recommend a stay!

Beds are very comfortable, Bostani restaurant has a superb chef, staff are friendly and serve some of the best cocktails. Every member of staff is helpful and friendly. Love it here. Come every year. Great place to relax and very close to the beach.
