Iberostar Selection Anthelia

"Just returned from a five night stay at the Anthelia with husband and three children (5,6&9). Location is perfect, lots of restaurants, bars, shops and walks all on your doorstep! Every staff member we encountered were helpful and couldn’t do enough for us. Swift check in. The porter who took our bags to our room was brilliant and let the kids have a ride on the trolley which they loved. Big shout out to Miriam who served our drinks around the pool, great interaction with the kids and always so helpful and happy! We stayed b&b and enjoyed our breakfast every morning. I wouldn’t overly rate the food served around the pool area (it was just convenient for us with the children) and think this could be greatly improved for a 5 star. We ate out of an evening so can’t comment on the restaurants. Nice touch with the magic carpet out for the kids in the afternoon. Loved the water aerobics, mainly because it was nice to have some music and atmosphere around the main pool. Kids went to the kids club for the first time ever one morning, all staff were brilliant and great with the kids. Weather was gorgeous-hitting 30 degrees in November. The hotel did get quiet towards the end of half term, with mostly babies/toddlers and older couples. This was our first holiday that we didn’t go to the entertainment/kids disco. We did pop our heads in on the way back to our room one night, looked good fun with lots of little ones dancing but it was in a great big dark room and not where I would choose to spend my evening-especially with such gorgeous weather of an evening (no jackets were needed!). Small incident on the last day when a child had an accident in the main pool which was evacuated and sealed off for the remainder of the day whilst they had to clean and treat the pool. The manager did come round to explain the situation afterwards and let us know the pool would be closed but two of my children were left in the pool and not told to get out, it was my eldest who told me about the situation as she thought she had been told to come out but wasn’t sure. I had to go get them out myself not knowing what was going on. It wasn’t entirely clear as it’s not a packed out pool and sometimes you’d have it all to yourself so I’d not realised something was wrong. Not the hotels fault and unfortunately these things do happen but do think a swift evacuation of ALL individuals immediately is required. Our room was a connecting room which was perfect for us, the room never bothers me as we spend very little time there but had everything we needed. Chocolates on the pillows at night-the kids loved (although two nights we didn’t get these but I’m sure if we just asked they would’ve happily given us some!). Five nights was long enough for us personally, enough time to wind down and chill but I think any longer and I’d be ready for a change but that’s just personal preference. Would I return to this hotel, yes absolutely! Very relaxing stay, great service, staff and super location. Thank you all at Anthelia!!"

"We visited for 9 nights 5/10-14/10, best hotel we have ever stayed in, absolutely bliss, food, rooms and the pools are amazing especially the quiet heated pool, Loved it so much we have booked to return may 2026 but for 12 nights, location is perfect and the staff go above and beyond, 5* all the way"

"Best holiday ever. Miriam is the best bar lady! All the staff are super helpful. The food is great. The drinks are also amazing!"
