Alkinoi Resort & Spa

Hotel Alkinoi Resort & Spa Monemvasia A brand new hotel which we understand opened this season (which might explain some of the teething problems) The positives are the outstanding views towards Monemvasia and the beautiful large (warm!) saltwater swimming pool and the terrace/garden. Breakfast was also excellent, a buffet with a wide choice of food on a delightful terrace - and the bar snacks were good; (there’s no restaurant facility) There’s plenty of parking (although taxis to the castle cost only about €5 and save a long hot walk up the road!) The rooms have tea and coffee making facilities, somewhat limited “freebies” in the bathroom and robes But although the staff tried very hard, the hotel wasn’t without its faults. It’s situated on the main road into town which generates some noise. A number of rooms have no sea view - the main feature of the site. On arrival, we were offered a junior suite (an upgrade from the superior room we’d booked) but we were disappointed to find it consisted of a small bedroom with no view and only a “false” window opening on to a corridor used by others (so no privacy if the window was open) and an adjoining small sitting room leading to a small terrace. If you strained your head around the corner there was a view of the sea - but it was too hot to sit outside anyway largely because the terrace also sited 2 large air conditioning units which discharged hot air! Another problem was that it proved impossible to connect to the wifi from our room. It was suggested this was because we had Mac devices which were incompatible with the system. (In fact we had Iphones and Ipads which were capable of connecting to the wifi in other parts of the hotel so it was clearly our room which was the problem) The bathroom was spacious and well appointed but with a window opening onto the same corridor We were offered complimentary 30 minute massages in the Spa which were ok although the organisation seemed a little chaotic So all in all, we were left a little underwhelmed with the experience, particularly given the cost was relatively higher than we were paying elsewhere. Hopefully the service issues can be resolved - but this still leaves other issues which unfortunately can’t be changed. Would we return? Possibly - but only uf we could be guaranteed sea view and working wifi

Highly recommend Alkinoi Resort. Beautiful location on water with fabulous view of Monemvassia. Clean, modern rooms and facilities. Friendly staff. Good pool bar and breakfast. About 2 km to town. Could theoretically walk into town, but narrow highway with no sidewalks so better if you have a car.

Beautiful hotel. Great view of Monemvasia. Lots of parking. Management was very helpful. Good pool.

We stayed here for a night in one of the large suites and really enjoyed our stay. Very modern design throughout the hotel, and our room had a fantastic view of Monemvasia. The brunch was incredible with a nice area to eat with ocean views, and the nightly price was reasonable. I don’t think you need to stay in actual Monemvasia, as this hotel was a a short 5 min drive away. Highly recommended!

Beautiful hotel & Spa offering spacious and clean rooms with breathtaking views of Monemvasia. Rooms were clean and newly remodelled, the grounds were well maintained, breakfast included was a good addition... freshly sqeeezed O.J. was awesome !

Modern structure with an amazing view on Monemvasia and a beautiful pool. Spacious room with pleasant and practical balcony. Top wifi everywhere and really helpful management in any circumstance. Very good breakfast with a great choice, excellent fresh fruit and an assor**ent of nuts, tahini, white and wholemeal bread, etc. Only 5 minutes by car to the castle and to a variety of restaurants.

Very polite and helpful staff. Excellent service. The hotel has an picturesque view of Monemvasia. The facilities are excellent with specious rooms a large pool and a full pool side bar. We had a great time!!!!

This hotel had the absolute best hospitality at any hotel I’ve ever been to in my life. I was literally sad to leave because the hotel staff were so kind, accommodating and went above and beyond. It is a stunning venue with gorgeous views, the rooms are spacious and clean, and the pool was sooo convenient. Cannot say enough good things and we will absolutely be back.

Spent one night but that was enough to experience the excellent service at this hotel! The staff was incredible! Always there to assist us from the time we arrived to the time we left! Gianni was a great host always available to help and the restaurant and bar staff went overboard to make our stay great! Clean rooms, spacious bath, and nice pool. Great breakfast with freshly squeezed orange juice! We definitely recommend this hotel! Beautiful view of Monemvasia island! Great value!
