One of our best holidays
We turned up expecting full board (this is what it said when we booked it), and were happily surprised to find out it’s all inclusive, including alcohol.
All of the staff are great at offering a friendly smile, except for Mr Gyros (the guy who serves gyros at the pool bar), who’s deeply grumpy and lets the team down.
I had a great foot massage and the woman (a Lixouri local) was professional and pleasant.
The food is excellent – there’s a huge variety, and you can really indulge.
The kids’ water park is great! And the staff are happy to tweak the water spouts for kids who don’t like it falling on their heads.
Our cleaner Mariana was lovely, and even came over to say hello when she spotted us on a night out with her family.
The thing we disliked most is how much they ghosted us before we arrived. They told us they’d book a taxi from the airport for us, then ignored us every time we asked if they’d managed to book one. When we arrived, no one was waiting for us.
Reception staff are pretty good when you’re on site, but when we left, we noticed there was no “how was your stay?” or “hope you had a nice stay”.
We’d definitely go back.

We will come back and recommend this place
Very friendly staff, super clean, couldn't get better, great breakfast buffet, leaves nothing to be desired, very quiet location, even the rooms are well insulated, very comfortable beds, no mosquitoes, ideal distance to the.Xi Beach with pleasant lounge bars, sports facilities available, spacious pools

Recommended but…..
Initially was hesitant after booking hotel due to seeing the negative reviews and first time doing all inclusive however was very happy with our booking once arrived. Hotel beautiful, clean, spacious and rooms spotless with bed made and clean towels daily. Mini fridge in room, fan and air-con available which was easy to operate without need for instructions. Self service Food was excellent with plenty of choices of hot/cold, and freshly made daily to suit all diets, fish/meats, salads, fruit, vegetarian/vegan and gluten free. Hot/cold drinks available to help yourself and both inside/outside bars for alcoholic drinks mainly beer/spirits, wine available on tap - no issues with taste of standard house wine, its drinkable! Beach close by is a little disappointing due to erosion however 2 small shops and a number of bars nearby. Theres a Bus stop outside to go to the local town lixouri €2 each way which can then access ferry service across to main town of argostoli €3 each way, most of the shops are aimed for tourists. Loved the pool, plenty of sun-beds, canopies around pool have seen better days but wasn't an issue and plenty of additional beds around. There's a children's waterpark and small pool available onsite. There is no spa however can have a massage by beach front in a tent. Theres a tennis court and outdoor mini gym under cover available. Was a shame weather was intermittent (due to change in jet stream) but it was still warm and came home relaxed and tanned! Good 1.15hrs from airport, along twisty windy roads!! Shame location didn't have more things to see locally but ideal if want a total relaxing break. Enjoyed the break, saved a fortune being all inclusive.

Nice Hotel
I think some of the negative review of The Argile are a little harsh. We did have an unfortunate experience when we arrived in the middle of the night as there were no rooms. Apparently there had been flooding of rooms during a recent storm, so we were taken to a nearby hotel for one night. Popi the Manager was most apologetic and we were relieved to be back at The Argile the following morning as it is far superior to the one we had the first night in.
The Resort was clean and the rooms comfortable and well furnished. Yes, no information about phone or safe but a little common sense helped. Our safe was locked so I called reception and very soon someone came to open it and explain its operation. It is definitely not a Spa, but there are spa treatments available upon request as stated in their information.
The food was delicious and varied and staff always on hand to help if needed. As we have no small children we did not worry about that aspect. The main pool was clean and lots of sun beds. Yes the shades over the sun beds had seen better days but as it was almost the end of the season, one would hope they will be repaired for next season. As the season was easing off, no problem getting a sun bed, if not round the pool, plenty more to be had elsewhere.
Xi beach was disappointing but apparently there was a storm about 18 months ago and the sea levels have never receded to previous levels. This is something which is beyond anyone's control and maybe the local authorities need to revise how they advertise it, not just The Argile! The Hotel is a little more remote than we expected but there were local restaurants/bars along Xi beach. The bus into Lixuori was on time and very reasonable but probably very crowded in high season.
Local drinks were acceptable, as we expected being all inclusive and again, clearly states when extra costs will be incurred.
We found the majority of other guests polite whatever their nationality.
This is a four star all inclusive resort and we were very happy with our stay.

Food for the soul
This hotel really does not deserve some of the negative reviews that I have read. We have just returned home following a wonderful, relaxing week at the Argile. The hotel is a 5 minute stroll to Xi beach. It really isn’t the hotel’s fault that the beach itself is now covered by the sea! That’s nature for you. There are some fantastic bars (Baywatch) where you can sit and watch the sunset. Bliss. The food at the hotel was fantastic with plenty of choice. Staff were friendly and very helpful and the rooms were clean and functional. The pool area has ample (very comfortable) sun beds with decent coffee from the self serve machines. The perfect place if you want to recharge your batteries and escape life’s chaos. Well done ARGILE HOTEL. ❤️
