Independent The Valley of the Butterflies hotels

"Family-friendly "

"Hotel Elissa provided an outstanding holiday experience. We were accommodated in a beautiful Deluxe Seaview Swim-up room. We had the opportunity to indulge in exceptional cuisine, an impressive selection of wines and cocktails, enchanting live music, and DJs playing laid-back bar grooves."

"Service was above and beyond. We arrived late and they had prepared us our own meal which they kept in the fridge. They also gave us a bottle of prosecco on the house. I'm not sure if this was a one off or they do this for all guests but we were very happy. "

"Room size was great & balcony was a nice touch. Bathroom was a little on the smaller side. Breakfast and lunch options were good- we mainly ate out in old town in the evening as the buffet wasn't our scene. Buffet & pool did get particularly busy, seemed to be a lot of children."

"Awesome lobby, nice environment, very good experience over seven nights. Staffed very well. Yamas, Arte!"

"Very good everything "

"Fantastic hotel. All staff from porters, reception, bar staff, house cleaning, facilities were incredibly friendly. Private pool cleaned daily and was spotless. Mini fridge stocked daily including extras of the stuff we were using. Great facilities, good edible food at all meal times across all restaurants. Top shelf spirits from friendly bar staff. We will be back in a few weeks for another break."

"This was our 10th visit to Aila & it never fails. The staff, too many to mention, all make the holiday - they make you feel more like family & friends than guests. See you all again next year."

"It's a really beautiful resort. Great pools, amazing restaurants and food, champagne bar, entertainment, great gym. The team is amazing. Service is really outstanding. Altzen - one of the drinks waiters - is so incredibly hard working. Chloe from the fitness and entertainments team is so effusive about the resort, and she made an effort every day to talk to and engage with guests. We wouldn't normally go back to the same place but it is so fantastic we have been three times."
