This was our second visit to the Pioneer Beach hotel. We last visited in 2022, at the end of covid. We booked a sea view room on the all inclusive elite plan. Our flight was delayed about an hour and upon arrival at the early hours, we were offered a meal and this was a nice touch but, we went straight to bed. We went down to breakfast the next morning and I immediately went to the pancake and egg station and the lovely Alissa made me fresh pancakes. I did find the buffet breakfast cold at times. I sent an email prior to our visit to reserve one of the restaurants, as we celebrated our anniversary on our first day of arrival. Meals here are lovely and we mainly ate in the al a carte restaurants during our stay. The main things about this hotel, is the laid back atmosphere and the food in the al a carte is lovely. When we last visited , the hotel was using branded drinks, this didn’t seem to be the case this time, I found the Prosecco a bit bitter, same with the sparkling water. Sunbeds This is very annoying and we had the same problem when we visited before. People are putting towels down early in the morning and at times, the beds were vacant all day. Please, Pioneer Beach can this be addressed. We had a cabana and mainly sat here during our stay. The hotel is lovely, clean but, needs to be updated, it looks tired and the rooms need to be modernised. We took a TUI trip, where we took the jeep tour out to the Akamas, and blue lagoon. Nice day, but not worth the €90 each and the very erratic driver, were at times nervous of his driving. With no aircon, it was a very hot day. There is a lovely Greek church next to the hotel and it’s nice to take a walk here in the evening. The beach is lovely but you definitely require beach shoes to access the beach.
