Belvista Luxury Apartments — Hotel in Argostoli Municipality

Despite hand picking this two bedroom apartment through Tui Holidays. the management at The Belvista Apartments really ruined our holiday. Had we been given the apartment we paid for I'm sure we would’ve been very happy there for our week away, in the peaceful surroundings it offers.|On our arrival (June 2024) however we were instead shown a one bedroom, which for 3 adults & luggage was too small with hardly any communal space.|The reason given was due to a ‘Flood’ in our original room..apparently. | We tried to be reasonable about it and they said they would let us know when it was ready. We didn’t unpack and our holiday was on pause until we could get settled. After 24 hrs we were still no further on and the manager once again told us it’s a big problem etc etc, offering Car hire as compensation , no doubt hoping we stayed & kept quiet . We declined. Things still weren’t resolved by the 2nd day and had stay there once again by which time we worked out Belvista has only 3 x two bedroom apartments (on the top floor) , and All 3 were currently occupied. |So they had continually lied to our faces instead of admitting double booking our room.|The in resort reps did their best to help & were very understanding but it took TUi UK over 48 hrs to get us moved, finally moving to hotel with separate rooms, something we didn’t want as a family. Even then, we had to move rooms after one further night so still not worth unpacking clothes etc. |We had to alter many of our plans including having to have meals out & cancelling trips and our week away to de-stress was completely ruined by the management...

Myself, hubby and our 2 children ( 10/15) stayed here from 23 rd to 30 th June.|We had a ground floor 1 bed apt ( no 3).||The accommodation was clean and the beds were very comfy. We had a couple of issues with a broken shower holder and our fridge wasn't working but these were both rectified within 24/48 hrs.||The pool area is nice and the sunbeds were comfortable with the padded Toppers but they need some TLC as very rigerty ( an Allen key to tighten the bolts on them would be a good start).|The pool was nice and clean but the pool lining was coming away and water had got underneath the lining causing big bubbles on the floor of the pool as a result of this.|The childrens playground, football court etc was all cornered off and couldn't be used due to maintenance but there were no signs of any work being done on them.We also didn't see any bikes to rent as advertised.|The resort of Lassi ( a lovely resort) is about an 8 min walk downhill so not too far away and ok of a night to climb back up but It can be a struggle during the daytime heat.|The accommodation has great potential and apparently has only been |taken over by TUI this year so I think they need to keep a check on it as it does have great potential but needs some TLC.|Free air-conditioning and WiFi is a great plus and we also had water left in our fridge on arrival, washing up liquid and asponge in kitchen |The 1 bedroom apartments on the 2 nd floor and the 2 beds on the 3 rd floor will have pool and sea views but our ground floor apartment had a lovely big patio and easy...

For a last minute holiday these one bed apartments were great. We travelled with my parents and 2 teens. We had a very warm welcome. Our family shared the apartment (teens in living area) which was very well equipped and parents were in the other apartment - we all ate on our big patio. The bins were emptied everyday and sheets twice in the week which was plenty. The pool was great although when busy needed more sun beds. Big pool towels were provided which was an added bonus.

The supermarket was a 5 min walk downhill (harder back up with shopping) as were lots of great restaurants - we liked zorbas for the happy welcome and good value traditional food. The sunset on this side of the Island is magical.

We hired 2 small cars from pefanis as cars were fully insured and a great price. This enabled us to visit some Insta worthy beaches… Myros (sweeping white stoney beach), Foki (small cove) fiskarado (posh yachting town), Costa costa -(nearest beach but expensive), Kaminia (sandy gently shelving), port skala (cove for snorkelling), we caught the ferry to xi (red sandy bay with clay cliffs for a walk) and went to petani (shingle with crashing waves). We’ve had...
