Monastery of the Archangel Michael at Panormitis

We wanted an all inclusive hotel for our holiday as we had younger children and wanted them to be able to try a variety of different foods. Staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful. The water park is small but doesn’t open until 10, so there’s no issue around sunbed hogging. The hotel has two pools. A large rectangular one at the front, with around ten beds, and another at the back with an island and snack bar. This one is where all the daytime entertainment is. Consequently, this area is loud and hectic throughout the day. So we spent our time between the water park and the quiet pool at the front. Much more peaceful, but no nearby access to snacks/drinks, so you do have to go back to the noisier pool for this. Food was good and varied each day, although it could be very busy at times. However, we had a wonderful time here. My only real criticism is the checking out procedure. You have to check out at 11 and at this point they cut off your wristbands and tell you that access to the all inclusive food/drink is off. I have not come across this before and feel it was very mean-spirited, given that nobody really gets a full 1st day anyway, and it would only be until we were collected to go to the airport, and that everyone there has paid a not-insignificant amount of money to be there in the first place. Other than that, it is a lovely little hotel in a lovely part of the world.

Pools, entertainment and staff were excellent. Watersides and carousel were great. Drinks undrinkable and food was VERY repetitive but available constantly. Never had to worry about our children going hungry or being board.
