Gaia Village

There are no words to describe how amazing this holiday has been! From the moment we arrived at the hotel we were greeted with nothing but kindness, good energy and amazing staff! We arrived late at night and were given a lunch box as we'd missed all meals. The rooms were lovely and the pillows - wow! Best pillow I've ever slept on! The restaurant staff worked so hard but always smiled and couldn't help you enough! The food was amazing too, so much variety! The entertainment team were fab, we had so much fun with them. Then the bar staff, especially Andi and Luli, were what really made it for us! They were very professional but so much fun! We really loved sitting at the bar with them and getting to know other guests. We've definitely made some friends for life! I always say I would never visit the same place twice but Andi and Luli especially make us want to come back there! Thank you to everyone at Gaia village hotel for giving us the well deserved break we needed and for making it everything we wanted and more!

This is my second trip to gaia village, I booked the trip after I visited last year I had a amazing trip the bar staff andi and luie make you feel so welcome ive booked again to go back next year but on the provider that they brothers are still working on the bar. Lovely men and very friendly. Can't wait to see u both next year 💓

Beautiful grounds which were kept clean and neat. We had a superior 2 bed room which was spacious with 4 single beds, but we were given a terrace which was opposite the reception so wasn’t overly happy with that. The shower over the bath was a bit rubbish as the shower head was in the middle of the wall pointing towards the bathroom floor and the shower curtain belongs in the bin. For what I paid the bathroom was disappointing. 5 min walk to the beach down a gravel track, the beach has lots and lots of sun beds €5 per bed, there is also water sports. The beach was great. 5 min walk to the town and bus stop, Lots of shops, restaurants, and bars. Greek night in Zia not to be missed, we booked this through the TUI rep. 7 course meal was fabulous , as much wine as you can drink too, not much choice for kids and there drinks need to be purchased along with any other drinks if wine isn’t for you. The hotel - No tea/coffee making facilities in the room, this frustrated me a little. I want to have time in the room to wake up before I go eat, so I don’t always want to go straight to the buffet for a coffee. We ended up buying cold coffee in a can from the town (cheaper than the on-site shop) and put those in the little fridge in the room. That cost us €6 a day. All inclusive- you are only allowed filter coffee and herbal tea. The coke/Diet Coke taste the same and the pop is pretty much flat. It all comes out of a pump, if you don’t want water out of the pump the bar charge you €1.50 for a bottle, which I just thought was ludicrous when it was so hot everyday, I only tend to drink bottled water abroad and after paying for all inclusive I would expect that to be included. I had read on trip advisor the only alcohol was beer, wine, rum and ouzo, when we arrived Gin was also on the all inclusive, they would fill half your cup with it and you couldn’t really taste the gin. You have to pay for cocktails which start at €5. Food - Was ok, one morning I fancied scrambled egg, got to my table with it and it was freezing cold, didn’t eat it. Another morning I had yogurt with fruits and nuts that was nice. But there was also carrots and broccoli served with breakfast which was strange, no one really touched it either so they probably heated them up at lunch time. Lunch and dinner was very samiy, one evening they served Brussels sprouts as the vegetable option. I like Brussel sprouts, these were not nice, Pork in sauce was on the menu every day twice a day along with pasta, rice , spag bowl and white fish. Then you would have a quiche or a cheese pie, or breaded turkey stuffed with ham and cheese, at lunch there were chips, The salad choice was good. Bread was stale every time. The chicken nuggets and fish fingers for the kids were brown inside and just weird. Overall the food felt very samey and we ended up eating dinner out a lot as we couldn’t stomach it each evening. The best evening for food was the Greek night which they do on a Monday, that was gr

We have just returned from a week here and the pros definitely outweigh the cons. The rooms served their purpose, we had 4 adults in a 2 bedroom room which was fine as we only slept/showered so didn’t need too much space. (We do love a cup of tea/coffee when we wake so would recommend taking a travel kettle and some decent sized mugs for this as tea/coffee facilities are not provided) Mostly a friendly, helpful team. Especially in the dining area. The 2 pool areas were great, one slightly quieter than the other. Plenty of sun loungers that are good quality/comfortable. Pool bars at both. Limited drink selection for all inclusive but enough to keep you refreshed in the day (gin is now included too!) Great location to explore the local area, very close to the beautiful beach, bars and restaurants and further around the island. We enjoyed a 3 island boat trip booked with Tigaki Express on the PIrates of the Agean boat too. So the biggest flaw is the food, we were all inclusive but whilst we always intend to eat out for most meals on holiday it is always nice to have the option of not having to leave the hotel sometimes. There was always a varied variety but never great quality and pretty much always cold! Please don’t go here hoping to have all of your meals in the dining room as you will be disappointed!

Lovely hotel it was very clean and tidy, the maid came everyday to the rooms. Lovely restaurant the food was nice could always find something to eat, there are two pools to choose from and plenty of sun loungers. The bar at night is lively with entertainment, the two brothers behind the bar Luli and Andi are brilliant, very friendly, lively and entertaining, they make it a great experience. Luli looks after the bar through the day he always welcoming and cheerful and look after you. The hotel is not too far from the beach and small town if you fancy going out for a drink or food. All in all great holiday and we will be visiting again.

Great place, amazing people, delicious food, clean room and super nice atmosphere. We would like to thank all the staff for being very nice, friendly, helpful and always smiled. Special thanks to bartenders Luli and Andi and restaurant employees Angela, Daniel, Luan and Petros.

An amazing holiday! Staff are friendly cannot do enough for you. Entertainment staff are excellent and the bar staff are outstanding Luli and Andi (two brothers) are truly brilliant, just amazing down to earth people. Human kindness is at its peak here you will never find a better place than this I cannot fault it at all. The food is exceptional and if you’re too fussy then the town is only a 2 minute walk nearby and there are many amazing bars and restaurants to pick from. Especially is you come out of peak season it’s very calm and overall peaceful and positive environment to spend your holiday in. We will be coming back next year!!! 😊😊😊

Sat having my last coffee before flying home tonight. This has been the best family holiday nothing has been too much trouble. Relaxing when you want it and upbeat when you need it to be. The staff can not do enough, and the place is clean and tidy. All food has been good and plenty, if you are fussy there are plenty of places to eat out. We are booking again for next year.

This was a standard hotel! Clean and well presented, food was average had a good choice never went hungry. Drink is very limited no cocktails on the all inclusive or vodka! Staff very pleasant. The 2 brothers behind the bar on the other hand were excellent absolutely made our holiday if it wasn't for those 2 this holiday may not have been what it was! Entertainment team were very nice and friendly but we found the entertainment very limited no announcing what was happening so was always a bit unsure and on Saturday there is no entertainment at all!
