Hillside Beach Club

This May half term marked our ninth visit to Hillside Beach Club – and we’re glad we returned. After our last stay a few years ago, we debated trying somewhere new, but the improvements made since then have reaffirmed our love for this resort. Notable Improvements • Room Refurbishment: The previously tired and rustic interiors have been updated with a look of simple sophistication. Gone are the bead curtains at the bathroom doorway – replaced by elegant wooden doors that are both stylish and practical. • Food Quality: The culinary offering has noticeably improved. A particular highlight was the fresh prawns, a welcome upgrade from the mushy ones we encountered in earlier years. Every meal felt fresher and better curated. The two served restaurants Pasha and Beach bar were notably improved. • Sunbed Availability: The new rule that removes towels after 2 hours of inactivity is a game changer. It means more sunbeds are available throughout the day – a small change with a big impact. • Yoga & Pilates Timing: Moving these classes from the early morning to mid-morning was a smart move, especially for UK guests who’d rather not rise at dawn on holiday. This simple scheduling change made it easier to enjoy wellness activities without sacrificing rest. Things to Keep in Mind • Pricing: Hillside remains on the expensive side, especially for drinks. Even with our 30% discount, beverages felt overpriced. • Wish List: I’d love to see reformer Pilates classes added in the future. It would elevate the wellness offering and provide more variety for fitness-minded guests. • The House Wine has taken a dive and has been replaced to a restrictive low quality brand which is really isn’t good, so you will need to add wine at mealtimes to the costs also. Final Thoughts Despite the cost, the stunning scenery, thoughtful upgrades, and overall atmosphere make Hillside Beach Club a place we’ll continue to return to. It’s reassuring to see a resort not resting on its reputation but striving to improve
