Rating7.9
Rating8.0Three restaurants and four bars. The main buffet (Le Chef) handles all three meals and has an outdoor terrace with sea views toward Hydra Island — the best dining setting on the property. The Byblos à la carte is included once per week for all-inclusive guests with a reservation (book at check-in). The beach bar (Mistral) serves hot and cold snacks from 11 AM to 6 PM. The Byblos Beach Club bar charges for most drinks even on an all-inclusive rate — this surprises many guests, so clarify what is and isn't covered at arrival.

International, Gourmet specialties, Mediterranean focus
The resort's premium dining option: international and Mediterranean à la carte, dinner only 8-10:30 PM. All-inclusive guests get one complimentary visit per week — book it at check-in, not later, as it fills. Smart casual required (no flip-flops, tank tops, or baseball caps). The food quality here is better than the buffet but recent reviews note the service can be slow. Worth the single visit it's included for.
National and International, Greek and Mediterranean
Main restaurant for all three meals — breakfast until 10:30 AM (continental service to 10:30), lunch 12:30-2:30, dinner 7-9 PM. Greek and Mediterranean focus with themed buffet nights and live cooking stations. The outdoor terrace with sea views toward Hydra Island is the best place to eat on the property — grab terrace seating. Smart casual for dinner (collared shirt or blouse, no swimwear). Breakfast is the meal that receives most complaints — repetitive and sometimes cold.
Signature dishes: Freshly baked breads, Delicate pastries, Seasonal produce
Coffee, Soft drinks, Local and National alcoholic drinks, Selected all-inclusive cocktails
Central gathering point, 10:30 AM - 12 AM. Coffee, soft drinks, and selected cocktails within the all-inclusive package. Good for early morning coffee before the buffet opens.
Local alcoholic/non-alcoholic drinks, Light snacks, Hot and cold snacks, Desserts
On the main beach, 10:30 AM - 7 PM, snacks 11 AM - 6 PM. Hot and cold snacks, local drinks. The most convenient option if you're on the beach and don't want to walk back to the main building. Light bites are fine; it's not a meal replacement.
Signature dishes: Light snacks, Hot and cold snacks, Desserts
Local soft drinks, Alcoholic beverages (local spirits), Selected cocktails, Local draught beer, Local house wine, Snacks
Outdoor, poolside, snacks 10:30 AM - 7 PM, bar until 1 AM. Extended late-night hours make it the default stop after evening shows end.
Signature dishes: Snacks, Selected cocktails
Local alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks
By the saltwater infinity pool, 10:30 AM - 7 PM. The best-positioned bar on the property — views of the Aegean and Hydra Island while you're holding your drink. Local drinks and soft drinks within the all-inclusive.
Bar menu, Exclusive cocktails, International drinks
Beachfront lounge bar that becomes a disco after 11 PM (11 PM - 2 AM). The most atmospheric spot on the property for evening drinks. Note: most cocktails and international drinks at this venue are extra charge even on all-inclusive — verify at check-in exactly what your package covers to avoid bill shock on departure.
Signature dishes: Exclusive cocktails
Local and international cuisine
Available but at extra charge. Breakfast and lunch baskets must be ordered the previous day by 6 PM if you want them. Not worth the upcharge when the beach bar and pool bar cover the same need.
