โรงแรมแกรนด์ อมินตา

Overall really enjoyed our stay in the annex at Aminta hotel. Room great size and comfortable. Like someone mentioned reception staff are professional but not very friendly and neither r the restaurant staff. Pool staff and pool bar staff and Anna our housekeeper are absolute credits to the hotel and always greet you with a smile and a chat. Pool area is small but very clean again as someone mention prob the most uncomfortable loungers I’ve ever used because you cannot adjust to a more upright position. Breakfast was nice lots of choice and coffee great - poached eggs were incredible. As others said the shuttle bus is really the only way into town ( we walked down one day which was ok - quite steep and uneven) but only takes 20 mins but too steep for most people to walk back and would be impossible in the dark. We always managed to get onto the shuttle bus but only just( they def need a bigger bus which other hotels had). Just do not understand why they have a shuttle return 8:30pm,9.30pm then nothing till 1130pm. Another suggestion would be to arrange with other hotels nearby to pick up on the way down if they have spare spaces after collecting their own customers. Everyone said they should remove the 1130pm and instead do a 1030pm .i would recommend this hotel as views are stunning but if we come again we will go further down the hill so we can walk to and from town on our own schedule - when your on holiday don’t want to have to plan every movement

We absolutely loved the Aminta, stayed there for six nights. Every single member of staff we met were friendly, helpful and welcoming. The view from the hotel was fantastic, the pool area calm, spotlessly clean and well planned. We had a view from room 502 across the bay which was stunning. The shuttle bus was reliable (in terms of time, the usual bus broke down halfway up the hill on day three and was replaced by a smaller 17 seater whilst they get the much larger version fixed!) and was welcome as it is €35 for a 10 min taxi ride from town. The breakfast buffet was extensive and delicious, lunch great and varied. Evening meals could be a bit hit and miss but we still ate at the hotel twice and the other nights went into town, catching either the 21.30 or 23.30 shuttle bus back. All in all, a superb hotel, staffed by the friendliest and welcoming people.
