I stayed in this hotel with my daughter at the beginning of July this year. Arrived for 10 days. We chose this hotel by chance, we liked the beautiful area, and the fact that the beach is very close to the hotel. They settled us quickly. The hotel is immediately clear that it was built a long time ago, but it was nice to plunge into such an atmosphere. They gave us a room on the 3rd floor with a sea view, as booked. The view from our room window was simply amazing. The magnificent sea, opposite the coast of Sithonia, the evening sunset on Kassandra simply fascinated us. The room itself is simple, a bit small, about 22 square meters, but tasteful, pleasant colors, not distracting or annoying. Then we went with my daughter for dinner at the main restaurant of the hotel. Overall, I was satisfied with the food. Yes, of course, when you relax a lot, there is something to compare with, here in Kassandra it is a little rustic, both in the design of the restaurant itself and in terms of the choice of dishes. But the food was of high quality, tasty and we were quite satisfied. There was always a choice of meat - cutlets, grilled pork, chicken, chicken breast, beef, very tasty lamb. There are few fish products, only one type of fish. I really liked the soups, especially the soup with mushrooms. They cleaned our room every day. The only comment was the problem with the beach towels. They were taken apart very quickly at the reception, we had to wait 20 minutes for new ones. But we didn’t change them every day, just some days we approached in advance and took new ones, and then we handed over the used ones. There are not many stones and sea urchins on the beach and in the sea, but still be careful, buy better slippers. We didn’t take slippers, because opposite the bar there was a cleared passage into the sea, and we calmly passed, and then there was already sand. The water in the sea is clean, a delight. The first days they sat all day only on the sea, until they completely burned out. Well, then we decided to have a look at the area. We traveled a lot to local villages, there are plenty of them in the district. All villages are located on the coast, with local traditional restaurants. We got to them very easily on public buses, the fare is not expensive from 1.80 euros per person. And back if the schedule did not have time, then called a taxi. In all taverns, they cook deliciously, both meat dishes and seafood. I especially liked in the village of Afytos in the Galera tavern, there are beautiful views from above on Kassandra and Sithonia. I advise everyone to visit this beautiful village. We also went to hydrogen sulfide springs, not far from the hotel, about 7 km. We also managed to go on excursions, went to Meteora for the third time, flew to the island of Corfu (we were delighted - one of the best excursions).
In general, we were satisfied with the rest. There are, of course, always some moments, shortcomings. But this is in all big hotels, my opinion.
