Absolutely loved it here. The rooms were great and the view is unspoilt across the bay. Very quiet area too. The pools were nice to chill by however somewhat ruined by children playing in the pools with inflatables, it's family friendly but it's somewhat bipolar with how it's so luxurious and perfect to relax with a cocktail at the pool, but then a screaming child goes past on an inflatable pizza. However the staff throughout were fantastic and friendly and the food! The food was delicious, we ate in all the restaurants and even the main buffet was outstanding

Asked along the way.
Can we hold the ceremony right on the beach?+
Yes. The resort has dedicated beachfront areas for ceremonies with direct sea views. The beach location means sunset timing naturally creates golden-hour photography.
Are all guests expected to stay at the resort?+
The resort can accommodate large groups with 215 rooms available. Many couples block rooms at a negotiated rate; staying on-property keeps guests engaged with activities and dining throughout the weekend.
What's included in wedding packages?+
Contact the resort directly at http://www.fodelebeach.gr/ for package details. Typical inclusions cover venue rental, catering, basic décor, and room blocks at discounted rates.
What's the water park situation during our wedding?+
The water park operates separately from wedding events. You can arrange private time slots or plan pre-wedding gatherings there; ask the events team about availability and pricing.
Can we do both ceremony and reception here?+
Yes. The property has multiple event spaces—beachfront for ceremonies, indoor and outdoor areas for receptions, eliminating the need to move guests between venues.
