Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and comfy but could use some upgrades. The service was helpful and friendly, although there were some noise issues. The location was ideal for a relaxing holiday but lacked some facilities. The dining was average and a bit pricey. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.
The hotel needs renovation, with the cleaning trolleys left outside the rooms all day, yet it was very clean. The service was incredibly professional, experienced, friendly, and accommodating. The location was fantastic and clean, providing a private beach and beautiful views, although lacking Greek ambiance. The dining offered excellent traditional Greek options but was a bit pricey and a little out of the way. Overall, a pleasant stay with minor room improvements needed.
The hotel offers basic rooms that clearly need upgrading, lacking luxury furnishings and furniture, making it far from value for money. The building has 2-3 stories with outdated features like cracks in the walls and absence of showers, only bathtubs. However, the service was friendly and accommodating, suitable for kids with special kid meals available. The location is great for a quiet retreat close to Kalamata, with beautiful beaches within a 20-30 mile range. The dining experience provides a decent variety of choices with a large selection to satisfy various preferences.
The hotel offers clean rooms with fantastic beach views, but maintains cleaning trolleys in the corridors. The service is professional and friendly, though some aspects felt out of place. The location is ideal for beach lovers, although amenities like outdoor toilets are lacking. The dining options are good but slightly pricey. The pool and private beach are main attractions.
The hotel offers spacious rooms with plenty of storage, though the bathroom furniture shows signs of humidity. The daily cleaning service ensures a comfortable stay, but noise in the corridors can be an issue, especially at 1 am.
The hotel offers a large room with a good-sized balcony, though it could use some maintenance and lacks luxury furnishings. The service is polite and professional, striving to fulfill every request under pressure. The location is great, right on the beach and close to Kalamata, making it a relaxing stay. The dining experience is expensive if only on Bed and Breakfast, but rich and tasty. The facilities are good overall, with a few areas needing attention.
Overall, my stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was fabulous, right on the beach and close to the charming town of Kalamata. The staff offered exceptional service, except for the manager. However, the rooms were outdated and in need of renovation, and the dining experience, although varied, came at a steep price for Bed and Breakfast guests.
