Sivota Diamond Spa Resort
Sivota|1.61km from Megali Ammos Beach
My wife and I stayed for 7 nights in an Executive room with stunning sea views. The views from the hotel are terrific probably the best from any hotel we have stayed in. The hotel is spotless and well cared for. The hotel staff are pleasant and helpful. We stayed bed and breakfast but ate evening meal once at the hotel. Lots of other people used the restaurant and seemed pleased with it. The hotel is set on a steep hill outside of Sivota. We walked into Sivota of a night and got a taxi back (5 euros). Some people did walk back but regretted it later. The Taxi rank in Sivota could be busy some nights but worth the wait. Plenty of sun beds and a separate adults section round the pool area of the hotel. The Danish tour operator guides did turn up one day to perform for the kids and blast everyone out but I must give them marks for effort in the heat. We were disappointed that on some days techno beat music was blasted out round the pools and pool bar. It seemed strange the hotel allowed this as they ask you to ”come and relax” but maybe they vary it to suit all age groups. The other main issue we had was the hotel advising us on the day we arrived that a wedding would be taking place on the Friday at the hotel. (It does say in the brochure the hotel caters for weddings.) This meant however that the View restaurant was not available that night and also the main pool area was cleared of all sunbeds on that day to set out chairs etc for the ceremony. The main pool area was then out of bounds from 2pm. It's a matter of choice but why anyone would want to get married surrounded by other half naked people lying round on sunbeds I don't know. Obviously the Danish couple thought the photos with the beautiful view in the background made up for it. The wedding and reception took place followed by the disco in the View restaurant until late on. I think if other paying guests had been screaming and shouting like the wedding party the hotel would have done something about it. I know weddings are big busines for hotels but at the expense of inconveniencing paying guests? Overall a pleasant stay at the Diamond helped by the fact we met some other fantastic guests while we were there.
