We rested in Greece from 1 to 15 August.
Impressions are as follows:

ABOUT THE HOTEL:
Patidea Palace is perfect for a quiet measured holiday with children.
For young couples without children (like us) there are brighter options.

Comments:
1 Sea - small pebble beach, entry into the sea is very convenient for children. Comfortable sun loungers.
For me, 10 is the sea with a coral reef in Egypt, in Greece, of course, everything is simpler. To our surprise, on some days garbage appeared in the water (algae, bags) and no one cleaned the water.

2 The territory is beautiful and well-groomed. Lots of green flowers. The paths are constantly cleaned, it's nice to walk.
Small. There were no WOW effects!

3 Rooms are normal. Good thing there is a mosquito repellent in every room.

4 Food and drink - Delicious. Good selection of fruits. Many types of pasta. Excellent breakfast.


Expected much more in terms of seafood. The problem of most of all all inclusive - but wine and juices (there were 3 types) are cheap and of disgusting quality.
We met cheap ones, but which you can drink, and here the juices resembled yupi (especially cherry). Once they took alcoholic cocktails at the bar - terrible, they tried it and left it on the table.
Fish restaurant (ala carte) - in principle, I liked it, but it is the only one of its kind in the territory. For comparison, in one of the hotels in which we rested there were 7 different restaurants. So despite all inclusive, we still went to a local restaurant not far from the hotel.

5 Entertainment
At the evening animation were 2 times, did not impress. Yes, mosquitoes bite.

Advertised Greek evening - people come from other hotels to watch and pay 20 euros for it. I don't understand why, we didn't even make it to the end of the evening. Again, mosquitoes bit, the remedy did not help.

6 Service
The staff is friendly. Room service and in the restaurant at the level.
What I liked SUPER - everything is clearly thought out organizationally, nowhere and never did we meet a queue!
7 Sports - as always, I played beach volleyball well. There are 2 tennis courts.
A high score because of football, the hotel has an excellent field, local Greek guys came every day and we played 5 on 5.

8 Extra services - I appreciate the free WiFi in the lobby.
But the prices of the spa center - 50 euros for a 45-minute massage are beyond our means. And in general, the SPA is not clear for whom it works, it seemed "without life. "

9 Children are not an expert, in my opinion for children in this hotel a fairy tale.

10 Chips
Loved the free orange juice for breakfast. There is a bottle of wine in the room.
But in general - we are experienced all inclusive users - we have seen much more in terms of food and entertainment on the territory of the hotel.

ABOUT THE TOUR OPERATOR:
I would rate the work of Mouzenidis Travel at 10 points.
Departures and transfers (including excursions) on schedule ! ! !

Both in the hotel and on excursions - nice girls, both tour guides (Maribel and Olesya) told everything wonderfully, there were no problems at the hotel either.
Chip - they gave passport covers. A trifle, but nice.

ABOUT GREECE:
I'm more of a social tourist, and sitting 95% of the time in a hotel where 95% Russian speakers (including staff) is hard to form an opinion about the country.

Last summer, we vacationed in Turkey, and for less money we got more. With us, when choosing a beach holiday, the main parameter is price / quality, so we are unlikely to return to mainland Greece.

I still have one strong impression - it will be hard for this country to compete with the Turks in tourism. Is it only in niche products, ala "hotel for children. "
