To those individuals who choose to read this review you should know I typically do not spend writing reviews for resorts or hotels whose business it is to offer excellent services to the guest. In this case, from the time that we checked in at Oliviera, until the time we checked out we were treated as VIPs and my sense... More

One of the nicest and peaceful place anyone should experience. Amazing nature full of beautiful flowers and trees. The sea,the beach,the gardens everything is just perfect. I was there twice and the first time was not that great but I loved the area so I wanted to come back and last year (August 2011) it was different,it was way better.... More

I completely agree with most of the reviews: the sea and the nature is fantastic,the hotel is so relaxing. However, although the staff is polite and helpful the service is so slow and weak. Also the fee of the extra food/beverages are so high. Ideal just for a weekend holiday, not worth to spend your whole vacation.

The Oliviera Resort Hotel is located on an island at Aegean Sea. The resort, activities, and staff were all amazing. Upon arrival, we were given a tour of the extensive property by the very friendly manager. My jaw literally dropped at the sight of the beautiful surroundings. The property is immaculately kempt. There are lots of different trees everywhere. The... More

We've travelled a lot, been to many places but never have we felt so cheated..Such a gap between what's advertised and the reality is absolutely shocking. Here's how they "sell" the resort on their website: "Don't you like to have an island? Oliviera resort lets you experience this feeling!" and add that it's the "first and only island hotel of...

I've been to this place three times. Its a place which you feel relaxed, and peaceful. The first time which was 2 years ago, I loved the nature and the sea. It was unbelievable. Rooms and service were so so. Last year I went back for the nature only and everything was much more better then before. Service, food, cleaning... More

This place was so bad it became comical! Like Much beloved we had no hot water, dreadful food, no light, heard the car crash that was the band and sampled the foul and fly covered food. We changed rooms (we were in the luxury end to start with) the downgrade had hot water but the loo seat and shower were... More

This is a catastrophic place. The brochure available at the resort ends with the bizarre strapline "Leave your Expectations Behind". If your expectations include electricity, hot water, good food, a clean pool, a courteous staff, a peaceful restaurant, lighted pathways, and any hotel information at all...then you really had better leave those expectations behind. This is a simply appalling place.... More

I stayed in this resort (Kalem Island Oliviera Resort ) for six days during August 2008. We were in a group of seven families each with small kids. The island, scenery, sea, nature and the island breeze is gorgeous. Fully lives up o what you on the internet site. However the quality of operations and the service is just unacceptable.... More

Actually the first impression of the hotel is incredible. The shore, sea, climate, sunset everything is like paradise but if you ask for a mineral water, you can't get it. That's one of the small problems. But it can be worse if you find a dead bird(more than a week) under your childs bed. But the biggest problem is the... More
