Hello,
When choosing a hotel, I read a lot of reviews about this hotel, but not one was 100% useful to me. So I decided to write my own, even though I don't usually do that.
We travel a lot, where we have been and have something to compare with.
I'll start in order:
Participants - a young couple with a daughter 2.2 years old,
Location - Potidea Palace Hotel
Period - from 22.08. 10 to 01.09. 10. Yes, we are still here
Accommodation type - eco room, ultra all inclusive
Flight, transfer, accommodation - see photo report
Tour operator Mouzenidis Travel - everything is like clockwork, Vimavia's departure without delay, the flight is excellent, meeting without a hitch, 50 minutes and we are at the hotel where 2 girls (Mouzenidis employees at the hotel) continued to help us with check-in. After 10 minutes in the room, after 3 hours in the new one (we have an eco room with a view of the road, like all eco rooms, but this room was in a separate building, on the 2nd floor and, most importantly, without an elevator, which did not suit us at all. every evening the stroller on itself with a sleeping child did not smile at us).
Everything is free, with me one tried to give 50 euros to the girl at the reception for changing the room to an equal type, but she categorically refused.
Number - see photo report
Well, the number is like a number, I've seen many. There are 3 beds in the room, three singles, a double bed consists of 2 beds pushed together, as always_). Balcony with 2 armchairs and a table and a busy road, mosquito net, minibar with free water 0.5 2 pieces, 2 juices 0.33 each and 2 cans of beer 0.33 each. TV 19-21 LCD ski with a DVD player like our BBC, which eats everything. Complimentary safe of normal size, mini wardrobe at the entrance. For the whole rest I have seen one mosquito so far, the main thing is not to buy a fumigatr, because it is already waiting for you in the room. I was pleased with the bath in the bathroom, slippers). See photos for the rest.
Hotel - see photo report
Forget about foreign speech, everyone here speaks Russian and understands you perfectly. 90 percent of the guests are Russians, 10 foreigners.
The staff is not Turkish, very polite, they do everything to make you enjoy your vacation. Mostly couples with children rest here. There are practically no young people, although there is a disco at the hotel, but on it you can only find your children and a couple of bags of bones. Quiet, relaxing holiday. There are representatives of Mouzenidis Treval (Russian girls) at the hotel - they will help, tell, show, send you on an excursion. The hotel area is small and well landscaped. The hotel itself consists of several 3-storey buildings. There is a mini club for small children, a good playground and a mini collection of live parrots. Children's feet are constantly sticking out of the miniclub, as in all such establishments, all electronic toys or those powered by batteries have not been working for a long time. But this is the case everywhere, but in general the teacher will look after everyone. There is a fish restaurant (you can dine in it once for free) - well, in general, it's expensive.
Near the hotel there is a mimarket, souvenirs, some alcohol, beach equipment, olive cosmetics and a wine cellar. In general, read the description of the hotel, do not lie.
Connection
I didn’t bother buying any kind of international cards, but simply bought a honey phone card in the minimarket for 5 euros and calmly called from the number (IP telephony) for free. Talks with city numbers about 2.5 hours. On mobile phones (federal numbers) about 20 minutes. Free wifi at the reception and by the pool - the speed is quite decent, some managed to chat on Skype.
Power and system ultra all inclusive
Well, as a true gourmet, I will say this - you won’t stay hungry, but for me it’s not ice. Well, that’s good too, otherwise the jeans began to strain on me. Alcohol is poured at the pool bar from 9 am to 11 pm. I like alcohol, but I only recognized 2 whiskeys, the rest I don’t know (there is always wine, but we don’t drink it - sorry) They pour grants, red label, and some other cheap cattle whiskey.
Champagne Italian semi-sweet (for me). Beer, Coca-Cola products, ice cream, you pour, you collect it yourself. For breakfast, fresh orange juice (and they crush it together with the peel), after 3 days it began to crow_). The main thing is everything for children! ! ! For breakfast, cottage cheese and porridge, for lunch and dinner, soups (for lunch, good soups, on Wednesday there was okroshka, and even what! ) see the photo report
Beach see photo report
At the reception for 5 euros (as a deposit) you get a card, by the pool you change it for a towel. Towels can be returned until 19:00. A big plus of this hotel is that it is on the first line with free sunbeds (but the beach is municipal and sometimes there are natives). The beach is small, but you can always find a sunbed here, although not on the first line. All the same, 90% of Russians make themselves felt, I occupy the first line at 8 in the morning. The beach is clean (constantly walks cleaner collects glasses and removes dirt) sand and pebbles. The entrance to the sea is pebbles, after 3 meters sand.
Fungi from the sun remained unchanged. I read earlier in the reviews that they are installed at head level, and people constantly beat their heads against them. All this is true and my head “stroked” them many times. There are ashtrays under the mushrooms. The sea is clear as fresh milk. The smooth surface stands until lunch, after lunch a breeze rises and there are ripples on the sea. You can bring some thread of shushura, but you swim with pleasure away from the shore.
Animation - see photo report
Well, as elsewhere - there are a lot of people, all Russians, they work out to the fullest. I'll take a picture of the schedule as standard. 3-4 times a week by the pool all sorts of different performances. Thursday Greek evening (Greek folk dances), live music. They bring tourists from other hotels to this event.
Excursions - I won’t say anything, because we didn’t take it and we won’t take it. Tomorrow (28.
08) we rent a car (we rented a car not in the office at the hotel, but in an amadeus tour like) We needed a car for 1 day and without a mileage limit (for me it was a discovery that when renting a car for 1 day, it had a mileage limit) . Ace rentacar (at the hotel) offered a fiat doblo 7 seater (we are 2 families) for 95 euros per day (heavy money) with a mileage limit of 200 km. Over 200 km 0.40 cents per kilometer. And we need to go about 400. As a result, we take a Citroen car or the same Fiat 8 + 1 (category B) for 100 euros + 20 euros without a mileage limit and 10 euros without a franchise of 300 euros. Total 130 euros. I'm sure that you could find a car much cheaper, but there is no time and desire to look)
In total - the Aegean sea is very clean and warm, it smells of watermelons, the service is on top, decent food and alcohol, there is no pushing, no queues, rudeness and drunken debate. Conclusion - I will come here (to Greece, and possibly to this hotel) to rest.
