This hotel was fantastic! We stayed in a 2nd floor room with a pool view. The room was very spacious and clean. The staff were also very attentive. The breakfast buffet had a large variety of things, and on top of that, you could also order an entree included in the price. The pool was wonderful and picturesque, and we enjoyed a swim every day. We also ate at the hotel restaurant one night, and the food was extraordinary. My only complaint is the shower. The shower was see through and not behind a door or curtain. I was with family and we were staying in several different rooms at the hotel, some with siblings in it, some with relatives (not couples) sharing. So they had to have one person shower while everyone stayed on the other side of the room, so the person in the shower could have privacy. And we also had to text each other before visiting each other’s rooms in case anyone was showering (you would see the person in the shower upon walking in). This was a very inconvenient design and I’m not sure why it would be built that way, unless we are missing something. Other than that, we loved everything!

This hotel is beautiful and new. The lower rooms have a large slider that opens to the pool. The rooms seem to be all the same inside, and very nice with a comfortable king bed with comfortable pillows and a large couch for sleeping, a large TV with a good selection of channels, a good size bathroom with two sinks and a large shower and a separate water closet. A small fridge in the room. All personnel were exceptionally friendly, a large breakfast buffet came with the stay. Very close to the airport and Chios Town. Very large, really amazingly beautiful pools with a bar in the middle, an are with a fire pit, a small workout room, can’t say enough.

Overall, we had a pleasant stay at Royal Pearl Island. Being a very new hotel, you immediately notice the fresh atmosphere and high-end feel. It features two large pools and a great pool bar where you can relax with a drink. I also appreciated that the team genuinely cares about making a positive impression, but several operational issues made me question whether the hotel lives up to the exclusive price point it aims for. Here are a few key areas where management needs to step up: Pool Maintenance: One of the pools had a green algae issue and was closed in the evening. While it didn't ruin our night as we don't swim late, it is completely unacceptable for a high-end resort—especially for guests paying top tier for swim-up suites. Food Quality: Breakfast was decent, but the main buffet is far too basic for a €400–€500/night property. The à la carte options lacked soul—not terrible, but certainly not memorable or flavorful. Service Training: You can feel the staff lacks experience. We constantly had to hunt down waiters for drink refills; half the time, we finished breakfast without any drinks being offered or refilled. Privacy: Most doors in the resort have proper locks, yet the public poolside restroom door didn't lock at all—not a great feeling when using the facility. Housekeeping: Our Nespresso pods weren't replenished on the second day, even after I specifically asked housekeeping for them. Room Decor: The rooms are spacious, modern, and cozy, but the walls are completely bare with zero decoration. It leaves the room feeling unfinished. Spa: The spa area is surprisingly small for a resort of this scale. Uncomfortable Staff Encounter: When I asked the lifeguard a simple question about the sun loungers, he randomly warned me not to steal towels or I’d be charged €60. It was an awkward, off-putting moment that made me feel profiled as a thief. Checkout vs. Breakfast Timing: Checkout is at 11:00 AM, but breakfast runs until 11:30 AM. Having to check out before eating breakfast felt unnecessary and frustrating. Safety Hazard: The pool ceramics are extremely slippery. I slipped while entering the pool and was lucky to catch my balance—had I fallen, my entire vacation could have been ruined. This is a severe safety hazard that needs immediate attention. The Bright Spots & Verdict: On a positive note, we received wonderfully kind service from the bartenders, Baha and George. Additionally, reception kindly allowed us to use the resort facilities after checking out while we waited for our late ferry to Mykonos. Royal Pearl Island really could be a true pearl, but management urgently needs to invest in staff training and minor property upgrades to justify its luxury positioning.
