First of all, I want to thank the tourists who left reviews on this site. They helped my husband and I a lot. When choosing a hotel, many criteria were taken into account; seclusion from the bustle of the city, the presence of a kitchen in the room, a two-room apartment, a free safe, a hairdryer, sunbeds and umbrellas, as well as a sandy beach and not a municipal one, but a private one. In Kandia Park Village, it was as if everything was thought out just for us. We got all this and more. There is not a single complaint about the hotel: they asked for a microwave - five minutes later it was in the room, etc.
I carefully read the description of the breakfast in the reviews. I don't agree with all the reviews. Namely: a very large assortment of products - there is no overeating. With all the daily monotony, every day it was possible to choose something new. This is yogurt (tastes awesome cheese mass) with canned fruits together or separately, 5-6 varieties of cheese, cold cuts (I don’t eat that, so I can be inaccurate - 3 or 4 types), really all the options for egg dishes - I counted 4 (fried eggs are fried right in front of you, like pancakes). Next: boiled or fried sausages, bacon is also fried right in front of you, baked tomatoes with feta (very tasty) alternated every other day with boiled or baked potatoes. Even every day there was beans - this is an amateur, fresh fruits (watermelon, melon, suite. kiwi, apples, grapefruit), dried fruits (dates, prunes, 2 types of raisins), cereal and milk. Pastries of 9 varieties, not counting pancakes and cookies (5 types), 8-10 varieties of jam, candied fruit, honey. tea, coffee, juices, 5 types of bread (delicious, fresh every morning, warm, with a crispy crust), butter. And someone else dares to complain that the food is bad in the morning because there is no fish or meat. And you show me that person who eats all this in the morning, and at once, and also says after all this - I want fish and meat. After all, at home your breakfast, if there is one at all (many people think at home that since they embroidered coffee with a cigarette, they had breakfast) is a sandwich, and at best oatmeal. You want meat already closer to lunch or to a late dinner. We didn’t order dinners, we cooked lunches and dinners for two in the room: cooked a soup for 2 days, fried entrecote or meatballs, cooked a side dish, well, everything is at home - and lie down on the beach or near the pool. All products were bought either in a store in the hotel itself or in the shops of Agios Nikolaos. Buses to Agios run every hour and back until 21:00. I write about this in detail, because I did not find this information in the reviews. You just need to climb the track on time (the schedule will be given to you at the reception and they will explain how to get there). The cost for one way is 1.60 euros.
There is absolutely no language barrier. Knowledge of English obtained at school is quite enough. Many employees at the reception at least minimally speak or at least understand Russian. And also in Agios Nikolaos everyone is smiling and friendly. Russian-speaking tourists - about 85%, I must say that everyone behaved with dignity.

This hotel is a paradise for young families with small children (everything is provided: tables, chairs, coasters, cribs) and for people like us, middle-aged and older people - peace of mind. Young people without children will be bored there. But in order to entertain children, they take grandparents with them - there is no animation.
Thanks again to the reviews on this site - the sheets and towels are really snow white. Every day they left a card on the towels - and they were changed every day. The girls cleaned quickly and well. We left 1 euro a day tip.
We did not go on excursions - it was a pity to exchange 6 clean days of rest and tear yourself away from such a wonderful sea. Not water, but heavenly pleasure.
I agree with one more review: I would definitely return to this hotel again, but there are a lot of places on earth where you still want to visit!!!
What else I want to say, we live in the Crimea, and when my husband and I were choosing a tour, I asked the manager: why are we going not to the South Coast, but to Greece? To that she replied: there is a higher service. According to this, and not only service, in Greece there is a higher culture and respect for tourists - all drivers, even taxis, even buses in white shirts with ties, car interiors are impeccable. And the Mercedes cars themselves and the buses are chic. I wish you all the same wonderful holiday!
