I BLAME EXPEDIA for our disappointing stay,
I purchased an All Inclusive Resort Package, only to realise, Akra understanding of All-Inclusive means EXCLUDING DRINKS (especially Soft Drinks)! The Food was great & enjoyable, but the A La Carte meal was unenjoyable and expensive (is not part of package)! We had booked this on the belief it was a Resort Hotel but it was actually a Business Hotel nr the City beside the Sea.
The description stated Private Beach - Akra's Beach was a Rock Bay, no Sand, and it was open to Outsiders, Many Fishermen. Private Beach means exclusive with a Beach.
The only Hotel Facilities was a Hammam (very good) & Tennis Courts, Bar/two diners. We had to re-plan our holiday to do day daily Tours as there was not much on in the hotel. No shows, no evening entertainment etc. We were expecting a proper beach resort.
The hotel's Taxi service is slightly more expensive then the normal street Taxi service, though perhaps we experienced the only unscrupulous driver?
And Finally a Human error, there was a miscommunication, I wanted to surprise my wife with a birthday treat on the 6th day of our arrival, but the hotel staff setup the room on the day of arrival, 6 days too early, which ruined the surprise altogether.
Expedia filtering option on their website and their research got this all wrong, it is very poor and ruined our Xmas vacation, as we had to layout more money and re-plan our vacation to make it worthwhile. Will re-consider using Expedia again
