Myself and my partner arrrived home yesterday evening from The Retreat and all I can say is that we cannot wait to go back. We chose this break over a flotilla holiday as it appeared from the brochure to offer more choice of activities to suit both our needs. Boy, we were not disappointed! Neilsons slogan is "Relax as hard... more

Part of the Neilson network of activity holiday destinations. There is sailing when there is wind (not as often as you might like), windsurfing, and the opportunity to go diving once a week. It appears that the big sport is water skiing, not something that interests me. There is also a gym, tennis lessons, kayaking, morning runs, a spa and... more

Pleasent staff at check-in and pleasent flight, booked through Thomas Cook and would happily book through and fly with them again. Sivota is a sweet little harbour town, not much seems to go certainly the place to chill over a beer or coffee and watch world go by. (Eating out can be expensive - BBQ at hotel and greek night... more

The previous two years we had been on Sunsail holidays, but this year we persuaded a larger part of our family to come so that there were 9 of us. We chose Neilson as it seemed more focussed on activities and not everyone wanted to simply sail. We chose The Retreat from the great reviews on Trip Advisor. We absolutely... more

We recently returned from a 2 week holiday at the Retreat. This was our second summer holiday with Neilson, having travelled last year to Lesvos. Overall we had a really good trip, our children, aged 4 and 20 months really loved the childcare clubs and spent most of their time there. Food was excellent. Rooms (main hotel) were pretty basic... more

We have recently come back from a week at the Retreat in Sivota (1st week in May), and it really was the most fantastic holiday for us as a family. We booked in January and as our tickets didn't arrive until the day before our Sunday departure and I was panicking so my expectations were perhaps not as high as... more

I went to the Retreat in May 09, for 1 week, don't think i could of handled 2 weeks, or afforded it, they have a Room tab system which means that everything you purchase be it from the bar or spa goes on your tab which must be settled before you leave, you are not allowed to pay in cash.... more

The Retreat is an excellent choice for families. The facilities are superb, the food much better than standard hotel fare and the location truly stunning. Everything is organised for you and runs very well, taking all the stress out of travel. However this, for us, was the problem. As two 20something seasoned travellers we were very disappointed as this just... more
