Hotel Pinija

The hotel is a bit isolated, it was not easy to reach it. Taxis take a lot of time to arrive so be careful if you have a bus to take. The buffet was very expensive and not that great. The lobby is nice. The balcony with the sea side view is pretty but there is no actual beach, it looks like a port or it’s covered in pebbles and not comfortable. The room is average and really not worth the price. It was not thoroughly cleaned. There is no international channels, no YouTube, no Netflix. The AC was not working. There was no water bottles, no kettle, no tea or coffee. Very poor amenities and we paid nearly 150€… Would not recommend.

Great hotel, clean room. Hotel by the beach, available parking. Good spread of breakfast. Disabled room is very wheelchair friendly and hotel is completely disabled friendly. You can even wheel into the pool with ramp and into the open sea with ramp. Will definitely stay here again.

We stayed for 5 nights in mid/late September. Although out of peak summer season the hotel was still busy, especially with several large conference groups and coach tours (who we felt got preferential service). Overall the stay was good, but it could have been better. We had a deluxe room (without a sea view which was my mistake when booking). The room was smart, a reasonable size and comfortable, but the shower room was cramped and the air conditioning never quite cooled the room enough. The access from reception to the bedroom wing (including the lifts) felt like we were in a service area and not appealing. The reception area though which includes the "Pine bar" was very modern and stylish, but given the size of the hotel and number of guests there wasn't enough seating in the bar or enough people serving. Food at breakfast and dinner was good and the dining area was smart, but quite noisy. There was a wide range (although not sure about vegetarian options), it was tasty and it was kept hot (unlike at some buffets we've experienced). The problem was that almost everyone went to dinner at about 7pm, meaning that it was extremely busy and hard to find a seat and not enough staff taking drinks orders, so service was slow. We tried eating later but the food options were noticeably reduced after 8pm and drinks service was no better. The pools were both nice, although we initially found both hard to find with different access routes and bad signage. The outdoor pool was nicely warm and had great views, but there was no service offered and spare towels were only available at the indoor pool. Overall the hotel has lots of good facilities and was reasonable value, but compared to other hotels we've stayed at, the service was not as good and could be improved.

Having stayed there 12 years ago my second visit was as good as the first. A family friendly hotel set in large grounds on a peninsular. Pebble beaches, play areas and various places to eat. Friendly bar staff. Buffet style meals of good quality and plenty of choices. The only downside this time was not the hotel's fault but due to the extensive road works in the vicinity making it difficult for the coach.

Amazing Experience at Pinija Hotel I had a truly wonderful stay at the Pinija Hotel. From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly polite, friendly, and always willing to help with a smile. The food was excellent with a great variety at every meal—there was something for everyone, and everything was fresh and delicious. The facilities were top-notch, especially the wellness spa, which was a highlight of our trip. It was the perfect place to relax and recharge. I highly recommend this hotel and would love to return!
