Zeus Eleva Ajul

The accommodation itself was stunning, with beautiful design and impressive rooms that initially gave us high hopes for the stay. Unfortunately, the positives ended there. The food was consistently awful, lacking both quality and variety, and it quickly became one of the biggest disappointments of the trip. Service was another major issue. One blonde waitress in particular was extremely rude, almost offended when we asked for basic service, which left us feeling uncomfortable and unwelcome. Beyond that, nothing ever seemed to be open — restaurants, bars, facilities — it felt like we were constantly being told ‘no’ or treated as if we were an inconvenience rather than valued guests. The hotel’s location didn’t help either. It is in the middle of nowhere, which makes it difficult to enjoy the area or find alternatives. While the transport to the beach was functional, it was hardly enough to offset the isolation. The waiters and bar staff were largely nice and tried to be helpful, but overall there was no warmth or genuine hospitality from the wider team. In the end, despite the stunning accommodation, the lack of good food, poor service, and the feeling of being unwelcome meant this was not an enjoyable experience. Sadly, we won’t back.

Great experience visiting this wonderful hotel. We have been there in the first half of October 2025. Hotel is fantastic, starting from the room - we were suited in the executive bungalow suite, right at the main pool, next to the Happy place sweet corner and Timari bar. And the best thing, as we were on the ground floor, we had our own sunbeds right in front of our suite. Food in the main restaurant is great, but you must try it in the Italian and especially the Greek restaurant - it’s delicious. Also, throughout the day there is always different snacks, ice cream and popcorn at a couple of places at the resort. Beverages are even better! Jameson, Jack Daniel’s, Four roses, prosecco, all kinds of cocktails and much more - all included in AI package. The resort is huge, main building, bungalows, villas… and there are golf carts that can drive you around. There is an aqua park, couple of pools and a beach that’s not far away, but it’s steep and coming back could be challenging, so there are vans driving back and forth every 30 minutes. Beach is not big, but rather small, even in October one day it was almost completely full, so I presume it’s packed during high season. The weather didn’t serve us well, as it was around 22 degrees, but it’s definitely worth the visit, even in October. We were visiting as a family of 4, including a 3 month old baby, and all the staff couldn’t be more polite, nice and helpful. Special thumbs up for Anastasia at the reception!

We had such a lovely week at the Ajul resort. Firstly, our room was beautiful with such lovely views. Everything was so clean and the modern. Secondly, the food was great. A special shoutout to the gentleman who made our omelettes every morning! We didn’t catch his name but he was so friendly and knew what our orders were from the second day onwards. All the bars around the resort were also good and had a huge variety of drinks. Whenever we had an issue or needed anything, the receptionist team were very prompt in sorting things out and it was great that we could keep in contact with them via WhatsApp! Lastly, we have to thank Helen for our AMAZING massages and facials. This was definitely the best massage both me and my partner have had so far. She was very kind, professional and knew exactly what she was doing.

Thank you for the service. I feel the best massage and Spa. Thank you for the hospitality. The food is also good and the view also. Thank you

Helen was amazing at the spa! Great massage and she put me at ease! Feeling like a new person! So glad it did it, thanks Helen!

I had a great experience!!! Super friendly & helpful staff :) The massage with Helen was one of one of the best I’ve had!!!

I had a massage with Elena and went for the Greek massage, also buying some of their facial products. The massage was unexpected and absolutely amazing. Elena is very good at what she does and very strong. It included some cupping technique which were also great. By the end of the hour massage I felt truly relaxed and felt as though I was floating. Worth every penny and would thoroughly recommend if you are staying at this hotel.

Helen was my massager and she was amazing. Ive been living with shoulder and upper back pain and she worked my shoulder to the point that it is no longer an issue. Very impressed

Had a deep tissue massage with Helen. Just the right pressure and felt great afterwards. It takes place in a relaxing environment and Helen is a very pleasant lady.

As I suffer with chronic back pain I booked a massage in the spa. The therapy was administered by Helen, who was courteous and professional and there is a noticeable improvement in my back pain. Good job!

The Massage in the Spa was perfect, Helen and Elena did a great Job! It was quiet, and I feel like Im a new born baby! Thank you

We stayed at Ajul Luxury Hotel & Spa Resort, and while the food was delicious and the setting was beautiful, it was the incredible team at Aegos Spas who truly made our week. From the moment I arrived, Despina and Antonia went above and beyond to help me find the treatments and times that suited me best. They quickly became familiar, friendly faces, always greeting me with a smile or a wave around the resort. I felt genuinely welcome and cared for whenever I needed anything. I was also lucky enough to have several treatments with Helen and Elena, both of whom were absolutely fantastic at what they do. My husband and I enjoyed a couples body scrub and massage with them, and it was wonderful. They made us both feel comfortable and completely at ease so we could fully relax and enjoy the experience. My husband is a big man, and they handled it all effortlessly. We both left glowing and blissful. I later returned for two more treatments with Helen and Elena individually, choosing them to focus on specific areas that needed some extra attention. Helen gave me a facial massage that worked wonders on my jaw tension, helping me finally relax and release it. She was gentle but very effective. Elena gave me a calf and foot massage that completely relieved the foot pain I had been waking up with each morning. Their skill and care made such a difference, and I’m genuinely grateful for how much better I feel. I would recommend the spa without hesitation. I’m still feeling the benefits of their care a week later. It was the highlight of an already unforgettable holiday.

Very secluded hotel , private surrounding and pure relaxation! You feel the atmosphere of the place and that calms you! The hotel is pretty decent, clean and spacious room! Very friendly personnel, from the moment we checked and the whole stay in general we felt welcome, reception, restaurant , Senses, pool bar ( Niclas) beach bar ( Jackson) all made you feel welcome !

Amazing hotel with Spa. Helen did great massage in Spa area. My wife did 3 sessions - great choices to keep your body happy. In July and August the resort got 650 guests and 250 kids. Overloaded and crowded, but at end of September/begin of October it‘s great time to enjoy and relax in the hotel, spa and see. Weather is still great. Food is good for one-two weeks. Many different cocktails. Nice own water park… shuttle to see and back each 30 mins (up to 19:00). By walking it‘s take 10 minutes, but bit sporty to go up… Recommend to book Helen for great massage and free time in Spa area…

Stayed for 10 nights 20th-30th September and on the whole, thoroughly enjoyed the holiday. GOOD POINTS: Lovely location with epic views. Quiet. Very relaxed & chilled atmosphere. Lovely pool and sunbeds/beanbags but the water was a little bit on the chilly side at the end of September. Food and drink at both the buffet and Italian restaurant are excellent and varied (Don't bother with the Greek Restaurant though - see later). Staff helpful and friendly (Except at the Greek). Water park ok, but only if you have kids. Same goes for outdoor cinema screen. Beach good fun, but Water shoes are a MUST as it is very rocky with very large pebbles (and don't try to walk to/from it - far too steep - get the shuttle van instead). Transfer from Thessaloniki airport is long - 3 hrs by coach but only 1 hour by cab. Spa excellent but treatments are a bit pricey. Pointless 'pool bar' and sunken seating areas around it - Unpopular and not staffed if not being used. Clean and tidy throughout with daily cleaning of rooms. Sports facilities looked good and were popular with guests. But we didn't use them as recovering from surgery. BAD POINTS: 1. Very misleading naming convention to the rooms. We booked a Deluxe BUNGALOW (definition: Private single storey building) but were placed on the second floor of a three storey apartment block with a tiny balcony and with people above, below and beside us. Complained at reception. Was told it was "a common misconception". NO. I did not misconceive, you mislead me. So their explanation was that the 'Apartments' in the blocks are called 'Bungalow's', the ACTUAL 'Bungalows' are called 'Villa's' and the ACTUAL 'Villa's' are called 'Presidential Suite's' - UTTER NONSENSE! So when you have watched the lovely video's and been 'sold' the dream of a private bungalow - make sure you do in fact book a villa or a suite and NOT a bungalow to avoid disappointment. 2. Avoid the Greek restaurant. It is the same place where daytime 'takeaway' snacks of hot dogs and burgers are served and hosts evening diners under the premise that it is a 'restaurant'. It isn't. The serving staff member there, Evgenyia (Ukrainian), is a very rude lady indeed, who's unfriendly, insincere and sarcastic attitude doesn't belong on a five star resort (or any resort). We ate there twice (returning later in the week to try to give her the benefit of the doubt) and ended up walking away mid meal on both occasions! The menu/presentation/service are all very poor. We canvassed opinions of other guests on resort (to make absolutely sure that it wasn't just us) and got plenty of negative comments back including "Don't worry she hates all men!". And if you don't want to eat your dinner sat next to one of her large dogs nudging your elbow with a wet nose for food scraps, I would steer clear (unless you are just grabbing a lunchtime burger and chips in a bag). Overall, generally good value for money (we paid £2200 for 10 nights) and it's wonderful location plus some great weather made it a very enjoyable holiday, but it could of and should have been five stars. We got off of the resort for a whole day's boat trip and had a evening meal out on another night at a local fish restaurant in Loutra to watch the sunset, which I would recommend doing to break up your stay a bit, as there is not quite enough going on at the resort for most people to stay engaged for their entire stay.

What a lovely resort, a bit far from everything though. Went all inclusive and the pool bar Ananas was lovely but Gianiss the cocktail barman was so lovely and accommodating. He made delicious cocktails and would come again just for those. Thank you Gianiss your a star 🌟

The staff in the spa are very welcoming and friendly. I had a treatment with Helen who was lovely and. The pools are great and the whole experience was very relaxing.

The resort was lovely but what made my holiday was the service of gianiss at ananas pool bar. His cocktails were amazing,soooo good. His personality and bar skills were just great. What a great guy. Thank you so much for your attention and entertaining hospitality.

We stayed at Ajul Luxury Resort in September and had the most wonderful experience. The resort itself is beautiful and relaxing. The staff were always friendly, welcoming, and went out of their way to make us feel at home. The food was varied — especially the food at the Greek restaurant was delicious. We also enjoyed the wellness area, which was spotless, relaxing, and perfect after a sunny day by the sea. We definitely recommend getting a massage. What really made our stay special were the evenings at Bar Ananas. The atmosphere there was always lively and welcoming — mostly thanks to Giannis, the amazing bartender. He makes the most delicious cocktails and even personalizes them to your taste. Beyond that, he’s genuinely friendly, funny, and knows how to create a great vibe for everyone at the bar. We left with so many good memories and would absolutely love to return one day.

Brilliant location, very relaxing the soa treatment was beyond expectations, Helen my therapist was very attentive and professional. Highly recommend her. The reception team at the soa is welcoming and very knowledgeable they did help to customised my treatments according to my skin needs. We stayed at a villa with private pool, outstanding standards. We will defenetly come back.

I experienced a wonderful massage, was a really good time , She was a very professional masseuse, gave good advice and excellent massage Thank you Helen for the wonderful massage.

We had the most wonderful stay at Ajul Luxury Hotel & Spa Resort! From the moment we arrived, everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The food was delicious, the drinks were top quality, and the surroundings were absolutely beautiful — the perfect place to relax and unwind. A special shoutout to Helen and Elena in the spa — they are amazing! We visited twice for a couple’s massage, and both times were pure bliss. Their professionalism and warm energy made the experience unforgettable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a luxurious and relaxing getaway in Greece. Thank you to everyone at Ajul for making our stay so special — we can’t wait to come back next year! 🌿💆‍♀️💫

The hotel is remote and if you want to go sightseeing then hiring a car is essential. The advantage of the isolation was that you were not completing with large masses of holiday makers and locals for space. The hotel and private beach are the best around, so you do not have to leave the hotel unless you want to. You have to travel along a long and narrow road to reach the hotel but the end result is spectacular (just look at the photos). The hotel looks new and everywhere inside and out is very clean and stylish. We arrived just before midnight but were able to get food especially for the late arrivals. The rooms are well appointed and in my case were regularly serviced by two very friendly cleaners. The staff in general worked hard keeping the hotel and surroundings clean and litter free. The meals were good and I never had a problem each day picking a meal that I liked from the large selection on offer. Evidence for this is the weight that I put on whilst there. The staff were very efficient at removing used plates and food quickly from the tables during and after the meal so there was never a problem having a cluttered table and despite the hotel being fully booked, finding a table at any of the meal times was easy. The staff were great and went out of their way to help you. Anastasia was a gem. She seemed to be always available day and night to greet you, sort out problems or just have a chat. The pools are big enough to accommodate everyone and always immaculately clean. The water park is great for children and adults. The entertainment is limited but the hotel does make an effort in the evening. A two staff that do the aqua aerobics at the water park are always a good laugh for the children (and adults if you want to join in). There is a film show outside each night for the kids but you will generally have to make your own entertainment. It is hilly between the levels but the roads and footpaths that are well paved, so do not be deterred if you are disabled. The footpaths are smooth and have ramps where necessary that make it easy to navigate between the levels if you have a buggy or wheel chair. If not, then the electric golf trolleys or taxi will take you where you want to go within the hotel or beach. They are always on hand and the drivers very helpful and considerate with people and baggage. The Staff v Guest football on Wednesday night was very enjoyable and many thanks to the lads on both sides, as I instantly made 20 friends. I do not speak just for myself but my son and wife (in their 40’s) and grandchildren (9 and 12) also had a great time, helped by 11 days of stunning weather. So, all in all, a memorable holiday and one that I would thoroughly recommend.

A big thank you to Younes for his kindness and professionalism during our stay. Always attentive and available, he really contributed to making our experience enjoyable. Special mention to the housekeeping lady from room 409 for her remarkable kindness and care. And bravo to the servers at the Greek and Italian restaurants, always smiling and helpful. Thanks to this wonderful team, our stay was truly a success! A PEACEFUL WEEK WITH A BREATHAKING SEA !

The hotel is amazing the pools the area it is in but when you get round to the buffet you will be very depressed its awful you have to book the restaurants 2 day in advance the only place where me and my girlfriend got a good bit of grub was down by the pool bar and they have no shops!! i didn’t pay this money for spaghetti and cold chips every night.

Lovely massage with Elena. Relaxing and calm environment to enjoy a full body massage treatment. The products used smell amazing.

Have just visited the spa at ajul and what a great experience it was, Helen my massage lady was first class ,it started with a fullbody scrub which was coarse in a delightful way, then on to full head to toe massage Helen didn't miss a spot seeking out all the knots and stiff muscles, fullback ,arms ,hands, backs of legs then over to the front,chest, front of legs finishing with neck and head ,it all took place in a soft relaxed environment, nothing was rushed and a most enjoyable time was had ,well done helen and if I can I will see you soon

The rooms are spacious and comfortable, the service is excellent, and the food and drinks are outstanding. The hospitality is warm and genuine, making every guest feel truly welcome. This resort is ideal for families, couples, and groups of friends alike. With multiple pools, an aqua park, and a beautiful beach, it offers something for everyone. I highly recommend it!

Great hotel with fantastic sea views. Food in a la carte restaurants was excellent and the bars too. Staff were very friendly.

We had a lovely time. Food was lovely. The pools really were standout. My wife had a lovely experience in the spa and would highly recommend. Elena the masseuse was so lovely.

Beautiful place and location, it just has a few things really letting it down. Room was nice, just wasn't cleaned very well each day, cups left dirty and coffee not topped up daily, the shower was terrible, had only a trickle and the shower head kept falling down. Food at the buffet was OK but not 5 star and was cold everyday. Tried to book the restaurants as soon as we arrived which you have to do on thier app with a code you get when you check in. But unfortunately the Greek was only available on our last night and we couldn't get booked in to the Italian at all as it was fully booked. Beach was nice, but drinks were limited to local beer or wine, no cocktails or spirits. The only food at the beach bar was sandwiches which were just left to bake in the sun all day and you could get a hot dog at 3pm. All of the pools are beautiful but there was no staff walking around collecting rubbish or empty cups, so had to clear away other people rubbish a few times. This place is not for early risers! Nothing opens till 10am, not the gym, the pool bar, the shop, only breakfast. The final nail in the coffin for us was the fact that we checked out around 10am as checkout was 11am. We thought we could enjoy the rest of the day on this all inclusive resort, only to have our wrist bands cut off when we checked out of our rooms and was told we would have to pay for any food or drink from this point. We have never had this done to us on an all inclusive resort before. We won't be returning.

The hotel is beautiful, it really is just a shame that there are so many things letting it down. Our first disappointment came before we even arrived. My husband sent a message via Voyage Prive asking if there was anything the hotel could do or put in our room as we were coming for our honeymoon and he wanted to surprise me. He would have been prepared to pay extra for this but he got a message back outright declining his request. Is it really so hard for a ‘5 star hotel’ to put a bottle of Prosecco or something in a room for a couple on their honeymoon? Then when we arrived, it became clear this isn’t really a 5 star hotel after all. The hot food at the buffet was always cold and often overcooked, dry and salty. Luckily I like a salad so I didn’t go hungry. At breakfast on the first two days the pineapple juice came out like pure water. I had orange juice instead which looked orange but tasted like water. In fact all the drinks were watered down. We went to book the two other restaurants the day we arrived. We could only get into the Greek restaurant on our last night and unfortunately couldn’t get a reservation for the Italian at all. The Greek was OK. Still a bit overcooked and dry. The squid starter was meant to come with a sauce but didn’t. The waitress was lovely though. The pool areas are nice and clean with comfortable sun beds. When we went to the pool bar we were told there was no menu as it was last years and out of date. Seemed a bit unprofessional but no problem as the friendly bar staff recommended some drinks. The only negative thing I can say about the pool areas is that I found myself picking up a lot of other people’s rubbish as staff do not come round and clear empty cups or rubbish by the pool. Also as you walk into the ladies toilets by the pool, cardboard boxes and rubbish is piled up. If I ran a ‘5 star hotel’ I’d probably make sure rubbish was kept out of view from guests. The beach is lovely. Very rocky as you go in the sea, so water shoes do make it a better experience. The beach bar only serves beer and wine. You can’t get a cocktail down there which is odd for a ‘5 star hotel’. You can also only get warm basic tasteless sandwiches throughout the day or a hotdog at 3pm. The spa is nice and we had lovely massages there. The gym equipment is limited and the gym doesn’t open until 10am so a bit pointless really as we would have liked to workout first thing in the morning. When we checked out at around 10.15, our wristbands were cut off from our wrists and we were told everything we consumed thereafter would be chargeable, despite us not being picked up for the airport until 7pm. This has never happened to us at any all inclusives before and we were dumbfounded. Overall I had a nice relaxing few days. I just wish we had spent a bit more and chosen a more special hotel that was actually 5 stars for our honeymoon.

Amazing spa experience with Helen, she was perfect and the experience was so relaxing. Best massage I’ve had in a long time.

Elena gave an amazing deep massage would definitely recommend anyone looking to get a very deep comforting massage great for couples

I enjoyed a massage from Helen and felt invigorated from the moment I left the spa. Helen worked really hard and gave lots of advice and information. Her passion for her job shows and she certainly ensures you leave feeling much more relaxed. You won't regret a visit at all - in fact I think I'll feel the benefit for a long time - especially in my knees - ready to climb more steps and hills during my holiday.

I will write about the hotel when we return in a couple of days but wanted to say a few words about the spa and the therapists. The staff are lovely and although a little expensive it is worth it. I had a facial and the foot and leg massage and the aloe massage. The foot and leg was amazing - pain I have had for weeks in my feet just went and thank you Helen - very knowledgeable and also very good with the massage. The facilities are lovely - an oasis of peace and tranquility. The products are excellent too.

Helen was amazing, that massage was very deep and definitely helped me feel less stressed, tense and heavy within my shoulders and back. No headache since the scalp massage and my face looks a lot better since the facal. Ladies, treat yourself it is worth the price and the products are amazing too. Also, the pools, jacuzzi and sauna with complimentary drinks were the icing on the cake. What a lovely day of relaxation and much needed body therapy.

I stayed at Ajul Hotel with my family for our vacation and we were super happy with everything. The service was amazing, and the staff were extremely polite, kind, and always ready to help. The hotel has great facilities and we really enjoyed our stay. The food was always fresh, very delicious, and high quality. Drinks and beverages were also excellent, really premium quality. The only small thing is that it was not easy to reserve at Ambrosia Restaurant (a la carte), but the Thimari Restaurant was great and we enjoyed it a lot. From the staff, I want to give special thanks to Giannis, Anastasia, the cab driver Antonis, and the Albanian mechanic who helped me and my family a lot. They were all wonderful. The rest of the staff were also very kind, except for one girl with darker color at Thimari Restaurant who was not respectful, but the Ukrainian woman there was super polite and kind. The location is very beautiful, with the only small issue that the beach is a bit far, so you need to take the hotel transportation or your own car to go there. The Wi-Fi worked well, but I think there is still room for improvement to make it even better. Overall, it was an amazing family vacation. We felt very welcome, had everything we needed, and left with great memories. I truly recommend Ajul Hotel and I will be happy to come back again.

The Ajul Luxury Hotel is very suitable for families with children of all ages. The hotel staff is very dedicated and makes every effort to provide you with a pleasant vacation. Although we spent more time at the reception for accommodation, having problems with the bank's transaction limit, we left pleasantly impressed because a free upgrade was not offered, of course within the limits of availability. Even the parents benefited from a quieter room. The private villa rooms are very beautiful, spacious and the private pool offers privacy. At the main restaurant the food is very tasty and diverse. At the specialty restaurants a reservation is required a few days in advance. The beach is very beautiful, but it has stones and requires beach slippers. to get to the beach there are 2 possibilities, either on foot (about 10 minutes), or with the hotel minibuses that provide free transportation from in front of the hotel. Transportation can be a disadvantage if you are staying at the bottom of the hotel. Of course, for the picky, there are also things that can be improved.

We had an amazing stay in Ajul Luxury Hotel & Spa. I dont understand people complaining of the hotel. I was a bit worried reading negative reviews... this is just not true for us. As a family with one kid 1.5 years old, we enjoyed every single moment in the hotel. We had ZERO issues! The stuff is super polite and professional! Our room was gorgeous, we had Private bungalow room with land view which actually was a sea view. The room is huge and modern. Clean, with everything you need including Illy espresso machine which is re-stocked every day. Nice big balcony and perfectly working AC. Bathroom was also big one with everything you need in it. The hotel have GORGEOUS gardens! Everything is so beautiful there so we didn't had to leave the resort at all. We were perfectly satisfied with all we had inside. The water park is great. The food is delicious in all restaurants. In the main buffet restaurant you can enjoy wide variety of everything that comes to your mind... for example for a week the fishes that was served was cod fish, salmon, Gilt-head bream, seabass, sword fish... not excluding shrimps, octopus, squid. For meat lovers.... duck bests, slowly baked lamb and many more. A ton of different salads every day. If you have space in your stomach you can try their wide varieties of bread, always fresh and crunchy. Ala-cart restaurants are easily booked via the App you receive during check in. Internet is perfect everywhere even on the beach! Yes... the beach is rocky... but the water is crystal clear! Always available sunbeds, extremely polite stuff on the beach. For a week stay... there was no single wave until the last day. Also you can bring your snorkels as near the rocks you can find even parrot fishes and even one sweetlips fish which was so unexcpected :) Cocktails... we were just in front of Ananas bar... great cocktails and chill music. Everything you need for a really relaxed holiday!!! We would visit again next year for sure!

Excellent hotel lovely food, Giannis on reception he is tremendous at what he does. Hotel is truly blessed with this man. Very welcomning always smiling and polite with everybody that approaches him. Only downfall is people reserving the sun lounge chairs and going back to their rooms, and from their balcony when other guests come to use the chairs they are saying from the balcony it's their chair which isn't fair to the other guests. Though if you tell management they will remove the towels so that they are available for other guests. Deffently would recommend for relaxing holiday. 5 stars all the way.

Things you should know: 1) The hotel is beautiful, it is clean and well maintained, but not well organised. Please note, that it is on a massive hillside and therefore anyone with disabilities forget it. It is also 90 minutes for the airport for a private transfer, or the last stop for the Tui transfers, so three hours in total. You are truly in the middle of nowhere and unable to leave. There is no entertainment team and the evening events are extremely limited. The staff are trying, but have become apathetic and beaten! They have, what I call Tourist fatigue!!!! Anastasia is trying her best, but must feel like she is swimming against the tide!! Any Gym bunnies needs to know that it is very small and limited equipment. (Please note, we enjoyed the waterpark) 2) The food is absolutely shocking. The speciality restaurants are a disasters. Over cooked food everywhere, children sticking their fingers in every sauce, ice cream and pudding. Children running around the dining area. Cold main meals and poor organisation. Very poor at all times of the day. The Alcohol is disgusting, poorly made cocktails, horrible beers and cheap wine, with one exception the passion fruit martini 3) If you are British, Eastern European guests dominate and there is a significant different in culture and education. Smoking at the tables in the speciality restaurants. Gangs of uncontrolled children, screaming, shouting and rude people who do not care how loud and nasty they are (please note this has nothing to do with the Hotel, but is their current client base). If you are British , please don't come!!! 4) Nowhere near enough sunbeds. Expect a fight with Eastern Europeans 5) Finally, the beach, do not expect much. The loungers are packed in, the sea is rocky and the sand has been trucked in, finally the bar has no alcohol other than cheap beer. Please, do not go down there for the sunset as you will only be disappointed. Again, it's in a beautiful setting, but this cannot take away from the rank food and current client base for brits!

We just got back from Ajul Luxury Resort in Halkidiki and honestly, I feel like I have to write this because the bad reviews nearly scared us off — and I’m so glad we didn’t listen! What we found was the exact opposite: everything was amazing, and we couldn’t have asked for a better holiday. From the start, the staff made the experience unforgettable. Nikos, the golf cart driver, was an absolute legend. Always smiling, funny, and super pleasant — we called him Red Bull because he was full of energy and made every ride a joy. He’s one of those people who lifts the whole mood of a place. At the reception, Dimi was incredible. She was so helpful, always patient with our questions, and went the extra mile to make sure everything ran smoothly for us. Honestly, she made us feel completely taken care of. Breakfast was a highlight every single morning thanks to Olsi, the omelette master! The best omelettes we’ve ever had, and always served with kindness. And we can’t forget Pavlos, who was just as attentive and friendly, making sure we felt at home. The resort itself is stunning — clean, peaceful, and beautifully set up for a relaxing holiday. We felt comfortable from the moment we arrived. I have to say this directly: the negative reviews do not reflect reality. What we saw was people doing their best to deliver a 5-star experience, and they absolutely succeeded. If you’re hesitant like we were, don’t be — this resort is worth it, and we will definitely be coming back.

Our stay at the Ajul Luxury Hotel was truly delightful. The food was delicious, varied, and offered a wide selection to suit every taste. The staff throughout the hotel were consistently helpful and friendly, contributing greatly to the overall experience. What stood out most, however, were the team members at the beach and beach bar. We grew especially fond of Christina, Jackson, and their colleague, whose warm and welcoming nature made every encounter a genuine pleasure. Their heartfelt hospitality added a personal touch that made our stay truly special.

The resort is reasonably well laid out and it was clearly expensively kitted out a couple of years ago however, there were a couple of niggling issues for us as an adult couple, booking a time which we thought would be after children returned to school. Firstly, the resort could definitely do with a child free area and including a pool as the place was swarming with small children and many seemed to be feral, screaming and running about. The main dining room had a wide choice and quality was good however, it was very bright and with lots of hard surfaces, it was also very noisy. The staff were friendly, the bar staff especially so. They hade a great repertoire of cocktails as well as various well known brands and were very generous with the drinks.

We had a lovely week at Ajul. As a family of 5 it isn’t easy finding somewhere that accommodates 5 in one room. We did pay for the privilege of a villa with pool and it was fantastic. It was clean and well equipped. The staff were great and so friendly (shout out to Nicolas at the pool bar) however, more staff are needed! Especially at the bars and around the water park. Buggy’s will transport you anywhere in the resort with just a phone call to reception or a WhatsApp message. Ajul does have so much potential to be the 5* luxury resort it could be. The grounds are well manicured and accommodation we were in was great. The air con is quite noisy and could perhaps do with updating. The mini bar seems to be an issue as it is stocked on arrival then only filled with water. The rubber rings at the water park are also lacking. I counted 13! And guests were hogging them and hiding behind the 10 sun beds they were also hogging. More rings needed and more staff to mange the water park area. Also slightly frustrating that the water park doesn’t serve cocktails but does offer beer and wine. Yet the bar area is big enough to accommodate this. The beach bar also doesn’t serve cocktails. And the food at the beach is lacking. The buffet is ok, pleasant if you’re early (before 9am and 8pm). Again I think if staff managed the guests it would help. Restaurants are great but you need to book asap! If you go to the pool bar in the evening you are still served with plastic cups. The entertainment is lacking. It’s a bit dull and not for kids. Seems like a moan but if these improvements were made, Ajul would be outstanding. We did enjoy our week and would possibly return if improvements were made. Thank you to staff that made our stay fantastic.

Ajul Luxury Hotel & Spa in Kassandra is a masterclass in refined hospitality. The staff excel in warmth and precision, while management maintains impeccable cleanliness, manicured grounds, and discreet yet reassuring security. Villas are elegantly designed with supremely comfortable beds, fine linens, and thoughtful details that elevate the stay. Dining is of exceptional quality, with the Greek restaurant delivering authenticity and finesse. Recreational facilities are generous—sparkling pools, a lively water park, and complimentary tennis and other sports with equipment.Spa is extra charge.One should book the restaurants on the first day via app.Lovely ladies in the housekeeping are great.Thank you for the lovely stay in early September.

Great couples massage from Helen and Elena, it was the right amount of pressure, we would highly recommend! Thank you very much, we will visit the spa again.

10 days break at the Ajul which has some really good things going for it. Sadly, it lets itself down on almost every measure and does not live up to its 5 star claims. Booked a sea-view bungalow with private pool. Arrived late after some delays to be advised on check in that there was a “ problem” with our room. Their solution was to provide another room ( lesser grade/price) and assured us that first thing in the morning we would be moved to our rightful accommodation. We were annoyed but understood that things happen. Obviously there is no point in settling, unpacking knowing our move was imminent so we slept and went for breakfast and then enquired on the way back. This time we were advised that the room would not be ready until later in the day. Why? Because the occupants in it would not be checking out until 11am. Occupants? We asked a little confused. It seems the “ problem” we were advised of on arrival was that there was someone else in the room not a problem with the room itself. By now we were annoyed, both at this apparent double booking of our roll but also the complete lack of concern about it by the staff and later the manager. It was only by taking up camp in reception while phoning and complaining to Jet2 that we were able ( after a few more hours) to finally get into the accommodation we had booked and paid for. If something like this happens the standard practice as I have known it is that you explain, apologise and either upgrade the guests to a room of a higher grade or if that is not possible you compensate them for your error. The hotel offered nothing of the sort and could not have cared less in the way they presented to us. That understandably got things off to a bad start but we really wanted to draw a line under it and enjoy the break. However, it became apparent the hotel is just not up to its 5 star claims. The gym is out dated, not staffed, not cleaned. The very limited equipment is old ,in poor condition and dusty. It seems to be tucked in the corner of the spa and forgotten about. The food is average at best. And it’s a fight at breakfast and dinner to find a table. When you do find one you then have to wait for it to be cleared and cleaned. The waiting staff are rushing around but there is not enough of them. High praise for the a la carte restaurants, the food and service was excellent at both. The spa was great, we enjoyed a massage, staff very friendly and attentive. The shop is VERY basic we bought an inflatable and within 24 hours it had a hole in it. This was raised with the manager who did nothing ( again) Our mini bar was filled up on the first day and then not again. Yet I saw a staff member go to the bungalow next door and refill theirs so I assumed it we had been missed by accident. I asked on the chat if ours could be refilled but was advised it’s only done on the day of arrival. This left me scratching my head as our neighbours had been here on our arrival 🤔 when I saw the same again the following day I questioned the staff member who said initially the same as the “chat” only on arrival day. When I challenged them with the information that this wasn’t a new arrivals room, the account changed to “ you have to ask for it “ when I advised I had asked, he shrugged and said he had a list and we weren’t on it. I raised this encounter with guest relations who couldn’t tell me the “ policy” on the mini bar but the same guy came back that day filled ours up but we never saw him again after that or got any confirmation or whether it should be done or not. I see other reviews seem to have been confused by this too. Some have been refilled daily, some told just on arrival day. 😐 Hotel setting is beautiful, stunning views, very isolated one road in and out and hotel Is 3.5 km from the main road and then further on to any villages owns. If you’re a runner, hope you enjoy the elevation as much as we did! 😬 Room was nice but again not 5 star, just the little touches that would be common place in a 5 star resort are lacking. Nothing to put your toothbrushes in, the shampoo/conditioner are not fixed to anything just dumped on the floor of the shower. Mould in the shower tray. Storage lacking for 3 people for ten days, it’s just poorly thought out and could be so much better. The private pool area was lovely. Some ant issues - see photo. If you travel here with jet2 be advised the rep does not visit unless requested to, so there is no on-site support in the event of a problem. They were very supportive by phone and did come over after our check in issues. Jane was very knowledgeable and informative recommended a great trip which we did and thoroughly enjoyed. She also ensured we were compensated by jet2. We have no beef with jet2, just the “resort” itself and its Leadership . We spoke to a few people during our stay and learned we were not alone in our experience. Others reported not getting the rooms they had paid for. I see the management usually put a little comment under the reviews to acknowledge them etc. I would gently request them not to do so on this one. You were given every opportunity while we were away to provide better service and deal with issues , you elected not to. No point acknowledging after the fact.

Great hotel and very nice and polite staff The beach is very close with a small car form hotel on every half a hour Food great

We had a wonderful experience at Ajul Hotel in Halkidiki. All the staff members were kind, professional, and always ready to help, making our stay truly special. A very special thank you goes to Panagiotis, a young man with extraordinary manners and genuine kindness. People like him make a real difference – his attention, respect, and warm approach are unforgettable. We sincerely wish him all the best in life, because he truly deserves it. Thank you to the entire team at Ajul for creating such a welcoming atmosphere. We are leaving with beautiful memories and we look forward to returning!

a wonderful experience. very good service. The beach was wonderful except for the transportation to the beach which could be improved.

I have just returned from our stay at Ajul with my young daughter . When we arrived there were some issues with our room that prompted me to make contact with the management . It was clear to them also that the accommodation we were given was not appropriate. Safe to say that we were eventually moved to a room( suite) that was more suitable and immaculately presented. With the help of Younes we were appropriately looked after and our stay improved immensely. Thank you

Superb experience, our first holiday as a family with our little newborn and the perfect place to come, the staff have a lot of heart in all they do, they looked after us and accommodated us in ways we didn't expect. A superb place to come in terms of things for families to do, incredible views, superb and varied food, fantastic cocktails and really lovely rooms. Couldn't be more positive about this place if I tried, will definitely be coming back. Lovely place and lovely people

An exceptional stay from start to finish! The staff were warm and attentive, the rooms spotless and beautifully designed, and the amenities exceeded expectations. The location was perfect, with easy access to everything we needed. Breakfast was fresh and delicious every morning. Truly a five-star experience—I can’t wait to return!

Wonderful staff, excellent hotel, and a beautiful place to stay. Truly a memorable experience here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There are no sunbeds available at the beach and not enough at the aquapark, which made it very uncomfortable during our stay. When I raised this, the only response was that the hotel was fully booked – but that shouldn’t be an excuse for not providing enough for guests. For a 5-star hotel, I expected much better organization and service, i left one day early, im dissapointed !!

The most horrible holiday ! From all points of view, from check in to check out, from room service to conditions! Cleanliness at zero, hot water in the shower with difficulty, long way to the beach and little transport, arrogant staff, if you don't manage to eat at the hour there is little chance of finding something to eat between meals. we were 3 families and not one was happy! On the middle of day when the pool it’s full they asking everyone to get out because they have to put chemical in for 30 min , never filet up the fridge with water only when we call reception. And many other things…..

We had THE most relaxing holiday ever. Our room was perfectly situated for our needs, a 2 bed bungalow with sea-view, right near the main pool. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful, nothing was a problem. Food was really fresh at the buffet, and the Greek and Italian restaurants were authentic and tasty. Drinks were branded and loads of choice. Cleanliness was of a high standard and also no sign of sunbed wars, which was a joy! We have 3 boys (14/11&10) they loved the water park and the use of the sports facilities, especially paddle! My youngest loved watching the films at night, whilst we chilled having a few nightcaps. We used the spa and had a few treatments, Elena has magic hands and I wish I could have visited her every day! I also want to mention how amazing the lifeguards were to me. I had an accident where I slipped and cut myself, (3stitches) they attended to me within minutes, and although it was way over they’re first aid experience they were professional and stopped the bleeding, enough for me to get to the doctor in town to have further treatment. The hotel also sorted all this out(transport / rang ahead) and I was back at my hotel within 90mins. I am so grateful to Maria and her staff for looking after me. It didn’t spoil my holiday and we never normally would revisit places twice but I think we may be back at some point in the future when we are after that ‘chilled vibe’…Thank you Ajul, you really are special!

Spent a week at Ajul good and bad points! The hotels is situated in a beautiful location with lovely views. We had a bungalow with private pool which was lovely. Always sun loungers available at the main pool, water park and spa pool. Our bungalow was quite away from any bars. The mini fridge stocked with one beer four cans of pop and two bottles of water on arrival then only stocked with water each day. Disappointing as this was an expensive hotel you would expect more and being located down the hill from the main bar and a walk from the other bars if we wanted a drink in our bungalow we would have to walk. Not relaxing in the heat. The fridge should be stocked daily with wine/beer/soft-drinks. We asked the bar can we take a bottle of wine back to our room saves walking up and down we were told no! The buffet wasn’t the best some evenings better than others not really luxury as advertised. Bland and repetitive. On the other hand, Both the Italian and Greek restaurant on site were the complete opposite and we had lovey food when booked into those. No entertainment for children at night a cinema screen but that’s it. However, they loved the water park. The buggies were really good we could phone when we wanted to be to taken to reception for meals and down to the water park, as such a big hotel these are needed. The aircon was broken we had to call for this to be fixed they did fix this straight always but it’s not a 4.5* hotel as advertised. Not as luxurious as advertised some improvements can be made.

As a family of 5 we booked the bungalow with a private pool. The bungalow itself was nice, pool was nice but the bathroom only had a bath with a shower attachment over and no screen so every time we showered the bathroom flooded……lots of towels were needed to mop up. The robes we had were tatty and didn’t have a belt for either of them. The mini bar gets restocked but only with water and not soft drinks. Air con wasn’t great. The main pool was big and always able to get a lounger, same with the water park. Spa was lovely, the ladies there were very friendly. We booked into the restaurants fine using the app as soon as we got there. Considering it’s advertised as a family hotel there wasn’t a children’s menu in either. On the hotel website it mentions kids buffet corner……this didn’t exist. It also mentioned the ‘happy sweet corner’ which serves delicious pancakes, waffles, cakes etc……this also doesn’t exist. It’s just popcorn, ice cream and a few donuts and muffins shoved into a holder. The adventure park with climbing wall also wasn’t available due to there not being an instructor. As this is peak season you would expect this to be open. The evening entertainment is lacking, an open air cinema screen is great but that’s all they provide. My husband played tennis but you can’t book slots online you have to just keep returning to reception to see if rackets have been returned. A booking system would be so much easier. I feel this hotel could be so much more but is lacking a lot to be classed as 5*

A family of 5 and we can not fault this hotel at all. The staff work very hard and nothing is too much trouble for them. Food is amazing and lots of variety. Pools great and plenty of sunbeds. We were in a villa with a private pool and we were extremely impressed. The only 2 things we would say was a let down mini shop could stock a lot more items as you have to get a taxi to the nearest shops and entrainment for family’s in the evening as there is barely any But overall a very good holiday and worth every penny

An amazing Resort with amazing services, food and atmosphere. Loved staying there and for sure as a family we will visit again soon.

5* Disappointment I am only on day 2 of 6 and already wishing I could pack up and leave. If you are thinking of booking here, do not waste your money. I am vegan because of a serious dairy allergy not an intolerance, an actual allergy. My partner emailed the hotel well before our trip and they replied like they understood. We landed late and reception told us the restaurant was closed but they had prepared plates of food for our room. That sounded great… until it arrived. Four plates stacked on top of each other, food crushed, and right there in the middle was a chicken leg, cheese, coleslaw and every dairy product under the sun. I challenged reception and they denied any knowledge of the emails. My “alternative dinner” was a bowl of green bananas and a grapefruit. Perfect after a long travel day if you are a fruit bat. Breakfast on day one… nothing I could eat. Then a glimmer of hope. Anastasia from staff actually understood. She arranged for me to get a cappuccino upstairs with proper plant milk. Fellow vegans will know why cold soya milk dumped into hot espresso is a crime. She even had the head chef walk me through the food. Except… cheeses labelled with “milk” allergen were apparently “dairy free”. I was not taking chances. Lunch was a dry salad and fries with no dressing. I asked for hummus because they had promised “anything I wanted” but I was flat out refused. Dinner in the buffet… avoid at all costs. Salmon like concrete, fries that had been sat there since breakfast, no chef able to help me, and the allergy awareness from the morning had vanished. The dessert area had no allergen warnings. I asked if anything had nuts and the answer was “I don’t know”. Comforting. Caipirinha from the pool bar was not even close. The bartender said he was out of Cachaça so made some mystery concoction in a plastic cup. Daiquiri upstairs was equally tragic. If you cannot make cocktails, take them off the menu. I certainly do not want my drinks served in plastic cups, and I’m astonished in a world where we are trying to reduce plastic, the amount of plastic they use here! Tried to book the Italian restaurant and was told it was full. Walked past later and it was half empty. Mini bar stocked once on arrival then downgraded to “water only”. When I challenged it I was told cans are not restocked. After complaining again at reception, magically it was restocked. The buffet is more shopping mall food court meets feeding time at the zoo than fine dining. Loud, chaotic, zero ambience. It feels like a kids school dinner hall! Kids run wild in every pool including the ones near the bar. Dining room windows are covered in greasy handprints, balcony glass filthy. It is hard to enjoy a view when you are staring through smears. The pool toilets are grotesque and could rival a festival portaloo on day three. How women can make messes like this is beyond me… maybe this is the type of clientele they are targeting?! If you need to go, save yourself and walk back to your room. Outside the ladies toilets at the pool they’re also storing overflow of drinks and even waste! Even the evening entertainment felt wildly inappropriate for a family hotel. I have seen hen party entertainment in clubs with more subtlety. The “sea view” is a lie unless you count giant water slides and rooftops as scenery. Ok technically it is a sea view on a hillside but come on, who designed this place, did they have it designed by kids for kids? The “upgraded” room has mould / dirt in the shower, broken seals, shoddy grout, water pressure that cannot rinse shampoo without seemingly spending an excessive amount of time for our long hair girls, and one roll of toilet paper. The beach…. Where do I even start with this! The hotel claims theirs a beach bar and snack bar, you get taken down a steep drive in a shuttle (fabulous because that would be some tough walk) instead you get a shack, with ham sandwiched like a badly packed lunch in cling film dumped in an empty snickers box! A public beach feels cleaner and I’ve gotten better service by people walking beaches selling us bottles of water and watermelon! I have stayed in better 3 star Zante 18–30’s hotels twenty years ago. At least they were clean and did not pretend to be something they are not. We have already started leaving the hotel, travelling In taxis at a cost of €20 each way to pay for food elsewhere rather than our 5* star all inclusive. That says it all, especially when we’ve paid for two rooms here at an absolute premium! Only positives are the sun is shining and the pool appears clean. Everything else from allergy safety to service to atmosphere is a complete let down. My only hope for the remainder of the stay, that they don’t hospitalise me with my allergy!

Lots to do for families. The pool area is not too busy. Always a sunbed at the beach. Italian and Greek restaurants are great. We couldn’t get into either a la carte restaurant for the first few days of our stay. Booking into the restaurants immediately on arrival is a good idea! Buffet, busy but well stocked and there is plenty of good food. Plenty of variety. Breakfast is quiet before 9am, but busy and noisy after 9:30am. The staff are excellent. Very friendly and helpful. They are often under staffed and still remain cheerful! The spa is lovely and the staff are very professional. The waterpark is great for the kids.

Family of 4 with 2 sporty teens, 16 and 15 years old - stayed 10 nights end of July We highly recommend this resort, the staff starting with manager Anastasia are amazing and are what sets this place apart from its peers. Overall rating 9/10 Food - 9/10 The main restaurant food ( buffet ) is outstanding. Serves breakfast, lunch and dinner A la carte restaurants ( one Italian and one Greek ) are very good Room - 9/10 Recommend the rooms with shared infinity pool. We stayed in 101 which is a large family room. The large infinity pool which you enter from your balcony is shared with 5 other rooms. Beach 8/10 Is nice although pebbles. Water is clear great for snorkelling. Bar at beach serves drinks ( beer and soft drink ) and hot dogs. Possible suggestion to serve spirits and cocktails and more food options. Sports 9/10 Resort has football pitch, volleyball ball, tennis etc. there’s a weekly game of staff v guests football and volleyball. It’s very much looked forward to by guests and staff. Spa 9/10 Had a couple of massages that were very good. 100 euros for an hour massage Entertainment 8/10 Singer or band every evening I wanted to take a moment to personally thank the manager for outstanding care and support she gave to my family and me during our recent stay at Azul Luxury Resort in Halkidiki. From the moment we encountered the initial challenge with the room layout—which, to be fair, was simply a misunderstanding rather than anyone’s fault—you went above and beyond to make things right. Your calm, proactive and compassionate approach made all the difference. You found a work around for my health issue challenges without drawing attention to it. The way you arranged for us to move into two rooms with a shared pool, and later into a beautiful family room, was exceptional. Sharing your WhatsApp so we could stay in touch added such a personal touch, and I’m incredibly grateful for that. Beyond the logistics, what truly made our stay memorable was the warmth and attentiveness of your entire team. While I can’t name everyone, a few stand out for their consistently kind and helpful service: • Alex on the beach, who regularly checked if I needed help and always greeted us with genuine warmth. • The lovely lady who moved from the beach to the restaurant, always cheerful and welcoming. • The tall gentleman at dinner, I believe his name is Nikos, whose smile never seemed to fade. • The energetic lady who worked both dinner and breakfast, full of positive energy. • The wonderful woman at the Italian restaurant, who made our meal feel so special. • The lifeguard who kindly helped bandage my toe. • And of course, Tony, and the Australian buggy driver—both of whom made getting around the resort a real pleasure. My teenage son and daughter especially enjoyed the volleyball and football matches against the staff—they were a highlight of the trip and a great way for them to connect and have fun. Anastasia, your leadership and dedication clearly inspire those around you, and it shows in every detail of how the resort is run. You turned what could have been a difficult start into a truly special family holiday, and for that, we will always be thankful.

I really enjoyed this resort .Everything was great!The hotel staff,the food catering and pools were so good.The beach has clear sparkling water and its clean too.You cqn take amazing pictures beacuse its a nice ambient.I think its a perfect place to go,especially with your family.

I stayed at Ajul Luxury Hotel & Spa Resort with my family and young child for a few days im July. While the hotel is recently renovated, it didn’t meet our expectations. The beach is quite far and you have to take a shuttle under the hot sun, often waiting in line like you’re queueing for a bus. Once there, the beach area is underwhelming, especially compared to the beautiful beaches you can find elsewhere in Halkidiki. Breakfast service was chaotic and poorly organized – the staff seemed overwhelmed and couldn’t keep up. We also had issues at the aquapark; there were no inflatable tubes available for the slides, and we had to wait more than 30 minutes to get one. Overall, the hotel has potential but still needs a lot of improvement in both service and facilities.

We had a wonderful stay at Ajul Luxury Hotel. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, and the food was absolutely delicious — every meal was a treat! The hotel is located in a peaceful, relaxing setting, perfect for unwinding. Excellent service, great comfort, and amazing cuisine. Highly recommended — we will definitely be back!

Amazing location, it's definitely a hotel that will grow to become a massive attraction. Hopefully they will address some of the issues it has as soon as possible.

We ordered an executive bungalow suite (100 SQ/Mr) with a jacuzzi bath (room 502). Photos in the website were amazing. We turned out to receive a windowless room for the parents ( huge and dark), a movie screen is positioned 2 meters from the entrance to the room, and every evening there is movie night, virtually inside the room. For some reason the hotel did not find this really disturbing or worth while mentioning. The highlight of the room was definitely the dirty toilets (all smeared with s..t). They were no cleaned even after asked . specifically from house keeping. When we asked to change the room we were offered poor alternatives and an answer that all rooms are booked. A short browse showed that an identical room just with a pool was free for the whole period. When sent to the guest relation manager she just ignored the message... The all inclusive variety is also very poor in comparison to other hotels in Greece. There is virtually no option to eat during the day, other than the main food hall (only drinks throughout the hotel pools and beach) and only 2 additional restaurants for dinner othe than the main dining room.

The Spa Visit was one of my highlights at this stay. Despina is an expert in her area and I love love loved the massage amd facial treatments. It was relaxing, but also personalized for my needs. Everyone was so kind and the facility is clean and beautiful. Huge recommendation!

We have just returned from the hotel following a 1 week stay with my husband and 2 year old. Food - Breakfast was MANIC if going past 9.30am, you aren't shown to a table or anything so people were running for tables didn't feel particularly luxury in the slightest. The al a carte restaurants were fantastic but always booked and we struggled to get reservations despite them not looking overly busy in the slightest on the nights we went to them. Which was a shame as we found the food choice at the evening buffet extremely basic and not particularly nice. We chose to have lunch at the Greek restaurant every lunch time, and the girls brought it takeaway to our terrace which was across - which was a lovely touch and very appreciated whilst our baby napped. Room - We had the deluxe bungalow room 402 - good location for us but others may not like how exposed it is. The bed was very comfortable and very spacious. The bathroom was terrible, we had a bath which was a godsend with our little one however, there was no shower screen or curtain so the bathroom was SWIMMING every time we showered and was a complete trip hazzard. The mini bar was stocked with cans of drink on day one but after that we only got water. In every other 5 star hotel we have stayed at cans have always been replenished. We were very near the bar so it was fine but if your not could be very annoying. Pool - Pool areas fantastic! We spent the mornings by the splash park and afternoon at the main pool. Could always get a sunbed and was great. No complaints at all. Staff - The majority of the staff were extremely friendly. Our daughter became very unwell one night and the night staff were exceptional in how they dealt with the situation. Cleaners were good, however one day our room was missed and not cleaned until 6.45pm when we were getting ready for dinner. However, workmen felt appropriate to let themselves into our room without permission which i think is completely unacceptable. We were getting changed when they knocked on the patio door. We didnt answer and they felt it was appropriate to let themselves in to hang up a picture on the bedroom wall. I have never ever experienced this and i am grateful my husband was there to stop them before they managed to get through the bedroom door. To me if cosmetic maintenance work needs to take place it should be when the rooms arent occupied or with permission. Overall we did enjoy our stay, but overall we did say we wouldn't return as we didn't feel like it was complete value for money or 5 star. With the food and bathroom as the biggest downfall.

Ajul… A wonderful relaxing stay, great staff and our bungalow with private pool is a real treat. Bungalow 702 is a great location, close to everything. Our wonderful housekeeping lady is extremely thorough and is looking after us alongside many other members of the team… Reception, Beverages and Restaurant. Thank you all, we will be returning to normal life very well rested ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ As other reviews have mentioned there are lots of families here but Ajul is not an adults only hotel so this is to be expected. The beach bar is a little rugged and compared to other hotel beach bars we’ve enjoyed , this could be improved upon. But this is personal preference as always. Ajul is a great hotel and we would definitely love to return in the future. Well done Ajul Team 🤩

Fantastic stay! The hotel was perfect for our summer holiday—beautiful location, friendly staff, spotless rooms, and a lovely pools and beaches. Special thanks to Christina at the pool bar, and Jevgenia at Thimari restaurant, whose kindness, professionalism, and exceptional service made our stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

My trip pn the hotel was great but the best part of it was the beach and especialy the bartender at the beach bar her name is christina and shes really lovely and chearfull i moght come back on the hotel only to drink one of her coffes again

Ajul markets itself as a luxury, all-inclusive resort, but our stay proved otherwise. While the design was clean and modern, I wouldn’t call it luxurious—just new. And while our experience wasn’t outright terrible, it certainly wasn’t what you’d expect from a resort claiming to be high-end. From the moment we arrived, it was clear this place caters to families with young children. Kids were running around constantly, which made it feel more like a playground than a peaceful retreat. If you’re looking for a romantic or relaxing luxury getaway, this is not the place. We were five people and originally booked a Deluxe Bungalow with a private pool—a key factor in our decision. Upon check-in, however, the hotel changed our room last minute, calling it an upgrade. The “upgrade” had us sharing a pool with about five or six other rooms, and honestly, it felt like a downgrade in every way. When you promise privacy and deliver a communal experience, that’s just bad service. The hotel is fairly new (I was told it opened in 2022 or 2023), but even so, we found black mold in our shower. That’s not what anyone should expect—let alone accept—at a resort that claims to be luxury. Proper daily cleaning should prevent this. And then there’s the food situation. The resort has two restaurants that are supposedly included in the all-inclusive package. However, no one tells you in advance that you must book through an app the moment you check in. Naturally, by the time we arrived, all restaurant slots were fully booked for our entire 3-night stay. When we asked the front desk for help, we were told the restaurants are a “separate department” and there was nothing they could do. Seriously? Eventually, we managed to secure a reservation at Ambrosia, the Italian restaurant, and it was honestly one of the worst dining experiences I’ve had at a resort. The menu listed a complimentary starter from the house—it never came. Our antipasti arrived, but both the first and second courses were brought out at the same time. One dish (a salmon) never arrived at all, and no one came to check in or ask how our meal was. We ended up leaving early because it was clear nothing else was coming. The staff was polite, but the service was disorganized and unprofessional. The food itself? Also disappointing. I ordered the king prawns (36€ à la carte)—burnt to a crisp. My brother’s filet mignon tasted like fish, likely grilled on the same surface as seafood. This isn’t acceptable at a high-end restaurant. Honestly, the buffet food was far better than what we were served at the “fine dining” restaurant. To make matters worse, just after we got to our room, staff walked in while we were inside to put down rugs and hang curtains—something that could’ve and should’ve been done before check-in. It felt like no one was prepared for our arrival. There are also adult and kids’ activities offered, but every single one requires a reservation—and again, you’re not informed about that until you arrive, meaning most things are booked up already. It creates a sense that you’re constantly too late for everything the resort offers. Final thoughts: • Would I call this luxury? No. • Would I return for a romantic escape or adults-only retreat? Absolutely not. • Would I recommend it to families with children under 12? Yes. There are plenty of child-friendly activities and entertainment, and they’d likely enjoy it. Rating: 3 out of 5 stars. Ajul should rebrand itself clearly as a family resort—not a luxury experience—so expectations can align accordingly. If they were more transparent, improved service quality, and communicated essential booking information in advance, the experience could be significantly better

First time in Halkidiki, though not the first in an all inclusive seaside hotel. Brand new hotel, with apartments and villas (some with private/shared pools). They have an aquapark which is a bonus for family with kids. Beach is not so close but they offer ride back and forth not only to the beach but inside the premises too, from your room to the aquapark for instance. Staff is polite. Premises clean. Breakfast is plentiful. Lunch and dinner a bit repeatitive. But the good thing is that every third day of your stay you could book a-la carte free of charge. Room fridge is only upon arrival stocked with soda/beers, whereas only with water every other day. Spa was with extra payment although we paid for AI. Some minuses - beach bar is very basic, serving only some small sandwiches and hotdogs and they would ran out pretty quickly and not get restocked. No coffee tables/chairs at beach bar. NO LIFEGUARD AT THE BEACH and no sea secured/marked area for swimmers.Main pool has no shaded area and no sitting corner with chairs and tables. Again snacks served at pool bar are rather basic and they ran out before the bar is closed. NO ANIMATION team nor any water activities for grown ups. In our last day of stay they brought a team of 2 animators for kids but rather amateurs. No live shows at night, but live slow music though. An outdoor projector/cinema for kids though. I think they could use as an example the AI 5 star hotels in Antalya who go out of their way to keep their guests entertained at all times and where AI concept mean all- inclusive in every aspect. And maybe they can expand their AI concept a bit further as there is room to do so. What was missing was a bit of more lively atmosphere in the hotel day and night becuse it resembled more a retreat center, particulary adding the fact that there is nothing in the vicinity of the hotel for one to entertain outside.

Don't bother upgrading to shared swimup rooms. Yes you get pool access , but there are no sunbeds to relax on. They are a complete waste of money. Stick with the basic room and use the communal pool next to the Greek restaurant . Plenty of very comfy sunbeds and very quiet and relaxng.

Among the best places for a family vacation. The service was fantastic, the reception was excellent. A mountain place with fresh air surrounded by pine trees and the clear sea and the service of the entire staff was at a high level. I recommend this hotel if you are a family. It's worth it!

Very nice and relaxing experience. The smaller restaurants where reservation is required were amazing, i'd recommend to all

Excellent hotel . Very clean , staff always smile and helpful . Food very taste and various . Superb beach . I'll come back for sure

The beach is amazing and the service is extremely kind!!! We loved everything about the hotel, especially Christina from the beach bar!!!

We took our 5 month old baby to this hotel as his first trip overseas and were generally very happy. The hotel is quite modern and well appointed with great pools, sports facilities and restaurants; its an all-inclusive where you don't have to escape to outside restaurants! Check-in was disorganised chaos and people were not seen in the order they arrived. Once we'd been given the keys to our room, we were told to wait to be taken there but after 15 minutes we just made our own way there. Room was good and swim-up pool awesome, but the bathroom left a fair amount to be desired with just a hand shower attached to the wall, marginal cleanliness and soap tray fallen off the shower wall on the floor complete with screws. Aircon was effective but maids constantly left the doors open instead - this did allow a small lizard to gain access one day which will not be for everybody! Room service was always late in the day and pretty superficial; the duvet would just be pulled up the bed, minimal cleaning and all dirty glasses left in the room - definitely a required area of improvement. Staff were very friendly and mostly super helpful; bar staff excellent with really decent cocktails and a lot of international brand spirits. Spa gave good massages although obviously not cheap. Gym ( v important) was decent but only one bench and the cross-trainer was broken; no water in there either. Worse part was that it did not open until 10am so not possible to get an early workout in. Other minor points; not enough umbrellas on the terraces, unless you got there pretty early there were none to be had. Parking was very limited and we saw cars get completely hemmed in. BUT the overall experience was definitely great, helped by awesome weather (35 degrees in early June) and it was a super holiday!

At first, I was a bit worried because of some bad reviews I had read, but the moment I arrived, everything was completely different. The staff was incredibly caring, the rooms were always clean, and the pools were spotless. The food was delicious, u also have two great restaurants. The beach was absolutely perfect. I had a wonderful experience and would definitely go back!

Very nice property. Staff was very friendly. Food was amazing

Not what is advertised! Left myself & my partner in shock when comparing reality to the luxury pictures that sold us a false holiday. Rubbish littered all over, dirty pools, grounds withered; plants dead, dirty floors, sun-beds stained & ripped. Room made the travelodge look luxury: tape holding up the vents, ladder to private pool fell off when climbing out, sofa broken, air con loud and barely worked. “Private beach” was basically building site with a wooden hut for a toilet and a wooden caravan as a “beach bar” dirty towels, cigarette ends, empty cups littered throughout, toilet a health hazard. The worst part was the food. Burnt pizza squares, potato wedges & warm salad. Sauces on the side like a takeaway shop. Had to travel 15 mins out of the hotel to eat something as got both myself and my wife got cramps after day 1. If you are looking for a 5 star holiday, this certainly ain’t it. We both felt less relaxed than when we arrived which is gutting as we wasted holiday after a busy working year. We both felt like we were conned!

Despina and Maria were very professional and friendly. Absolutely nothing bad to say. The massage was more than 5 stars. You can feel their experience. Me and my wife were very happy with the service and we strongly recommend them both. Thank you very much

Spent my birthday there. A friendly reception (thank you Valentina), excellent room with a pool and building, fabulous views and water features with a splendid ocean view. They also accommodated our late flight with a late checkout. Buffet is great. Well worth the stay.

I am writing to express my utter disappointment regarding my recent stay at your hotel, which I can only describe as a truly catastrophic experience. Unfortunately, the reality of my stay was far worse than I could have ever imagined. Upon arrival, it became abundantly clear that the hotel was not maintained to acceptable hygiene standards. The dirty and unhygienic conditions posed a significant health hazard. Not only were the facilities appalling, but the quality of the food served was equally terrible, prompting us to leave the hotel daily in search of decent meals. This lack of proper accommodation invalidated any thought of 'relaxation' during our stay. The only redeeming quality during our time there was the staff, who were understanding and tried their best to assist us. However, even their efforts could not compensate for the overall experience. It was disheartening to reach a point where we were actively seeking alternative lodging and even considered leaving the area altogether. Moreover, I highly advise against using Voyage Prive for bookings, as their customer care during this crisis was equally deplorable. We felt abandoned and heartbroken after our experience, compounded by their lack of support when we sought assistance. 100429528VPUK Given the circumstances, I believe it is imperative for you to address these deficiencies. Many travelers rely on reviews and experiences like ours when planning their trips, and it's crucial that future visitors be forewarned of the conditions we encountered. I hope that potential guests will not have to endure the distress that my husband and I experienced on in first wedding anniversary.

Caroline !!!! This is the person who is doing her best to save the reputation of this pathetic hotel. Throughout our vacation she solved all our problems and was very attentive and good-natured. Her refined style and good manners are inspiring. The biggest problem is the cleanliness of the rooms,the hsk team is very weak and I hope next year they will hire someone more professional. The food was not bad,but still not up to 5 stars. There are also a lot of dogs on the property that drink from the pool and live in the restaurant.

See you again

Too far from town.. Just opened. Needs to finish view from hotel..

Great location, the staff very polite ,fantastic breakfast, the quality was very good.

The location of the jotel is amazing! Staff friendly and helpful!
