Returned last week from a weeks' holiday at the Despo Hotel. On reading the reviews my boyfriend and I were a little worried, especially as he is a fussy eater so we were really concerned about the reviews on the food. We need not have worried! The food was delicious, there was a good variety at lunch and evening meal... More

Service 5 star. Met lovely people. Cats major pest issue in the restaurant, but offered room service due to allergy. Playground was a huge cat litter. Made us feel sick seeing kids play there bare foot after a cat had just gone for a s***. Toxicaris etc. Nicos and Michalis are fab people. Food and service outstanding ! Management staff... More

My boyfriend and I arrived feeling quite positive about this place but our hopes were soon dashed! This hotel is very misleading more 2 star then 3, we arrived about midnight and were under the impression that it was all inclusive which meant we should have been able to get a drink and some food but no we were told...

Hotel staff are very friendly, food was awful with breakfast being the same every day. All inclusive drinks where very poor. Brandy, raki and vodka. Bar across the road was very nice, and drinks were much better their. Ate out most nights. Gouves has a lot of lovely tavernas. I recommend the island restaurant on the beach. Very nice people...
