“Слишком семейный отель” “Too family hotel”

Immediately put the hotel 4+/5-as you like. This hotel, first of all, captivates with its budget price (namely, budget, you can’t go to a good hotel in Turkey for that kind of money), a huge territory, a beach and, of course, the nature of Sithonia, the most beautiful "finger" of the three. Not the first time in Greece, but the first time in mainland, northern Greece and the first time we traveled with Mouzenidis. After reading the reviews, looking at the photos, we knew before arrival what we would like and what not, but the decisive factor was the price and the lack of tickets to Rhodes. We got to the hotel from the airport by minibus in 1.5 hours, it would have been longer by bus. Except 4 people, everyone went here, for us it was the first tiny minus. They settled us (according to the number of people, it was approximately in rooms 8-9, they prepared to humbly wait in line) for 5 minutes, we were the second to get a room on the 5th floor overlooking the golf course. Suitcases brought themselves, soft drinks were not offered. The room we had was clean, with a double bed (recently there have been all shifted). The view is straight on the mountains, the entrance to the hotel and the parking lot, but if you turn your head to the left, there is a great view of the sea and Neos Marmaras, it’s good that we didn’t take a side view of the sea. Separately, I note the quality of towels, bed linen - everything was new. A good spring mattress, and a heavy duvet. We always leave tips, so there were no complaints about the quality of cleaning at all, they replenished with shampoos and gels. Slippers and bathrobes had to be ordered at the reception, we decided not to ask. Many guests complained about the quality of cleaning, sometimes the balcony was covered in feathers, sometimes they didn’t put on a pillowcase, but there was a hole in the linen, this happiness has passed us, maybe we don’t need to litter? The furniture is a bit old, but everything is in good, whole condition, for example, in Crete the furniture was much simpler in appearance and very "tired", although the hotel was of a higher standard. By the way, for the entire stay, we almost did not see or hear our neighbors, although in such large hotels there is usually a hubbub on each balcony. The territory at first seemed not very well-groomed, but then every day we saw a lot of workers who cut the grass, cleaned up the trash for the whole day. In general, the hotel is very much like the Crimean boarding house of my childhood. Mouzenidis works with Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, a lot of Bulgarians, Serbs, Macedonians, Moldovans, and ours, who come by car (parking lots in bulk), so there are no problems with the Russian language, like all of them. Mostly large families, with children, parents, grandparents. Children are everywhere: crawling, running, riding scooters, riding elevators, pressing all the buttons in turn, i. e. e. at home. Therefore, on the second day, we took a car at the hotel for 6 days and left every day until the evening. Traveled all the fingers, Thessaloniki and most of the peninsula. The weather was not hot this year, the sea is still quite cool and we enjoyed riding. True, in the last days of our stay it became still rainy and cold, but honestly we lay back grabbing trembling on the beach. There are more than enough sunbeds, although everyone, as always, is trying to take it early, in the first row and closer to the bar. and then, they added umbrellas and sunbeds, you could find them without problems, although the sunbeds themselves are not a very good model, in Meliton they are much better. For everyone, in understandable Russian, it was written about the ban on taking sunbeds, etc. , but this is of little concern to our people (the squeak of this year is to take a sunbed by the pool in the evening! ). Beach towels upon check-in are issued on bail, 25 euros per piece, we did not take, we brought our own. On nutrition, a separate conversation: everything is enough, if it ends, they bring it quickly enough, it also applies to food and dishes. I would put 4 for food (good enough, but it can be much better) without culinary delights, which is understandable - you still need to be able to feed such a crowd of people. The restaurant, and I would call the dining room 4 * terribly noisy place, especially inside. Again, noise, din, screeching, crying, children are everywhere: lying on the floor, riding scooters, playing with prams and with each other, knocking adults with plates off their feet, you need to be very careful. We always sat outside, at the beginning of June, as always, a lot of people drove in, we had to look for places, we began to go to dinner by 21 to eat in peace. There were no problems with food, the dishes are all very simple, most are delicious, but not all, for example, they didn’t like fish dishes, it was easier with meat and vegetable dishes were also delicious, but I didn’t really like sweets, although I have a sweet tooth. The numbers from June 5 began to give a good watermelon, all the fruits were cut so that our people would not be dragged from the restaurant. Everyone was especially different during the day at the Pergola restaurant, they gave snacks, such as fornetti, only better with different fillings. So our people, instead of walking once again, eating at a table and going to a sunbed, sent a messenger to take on the whole company and they pulled these fornetti on the beach with a mountain on a plate, whoever could carry as much (it’s still a spectacle), once they hit type of pie with cream and cherries, all other days were the same. For breakfast I liked it, they gave oatmeal and buckwheat porridge with milk, tasty without foam and buns with raisins. In general, what was a minus for us, perhaps for someone it will be a plus, in general I recommend the hotel, it is possible to send children and grandmothers to rest, so that it is beautiful, fed and there is no language barrier or single mothers with children, get acquainted with the same, then definitely yes. We most likely would not have gone again, well, maybe to Meliton, it is more solid, quiet and intelligent, although it seemed not full. Well, all the same, I want to relax abroad, and not in the Crimea. It may also suit young people if they come with a large company, or sports people who love cycling and horseback riding, go for half a day to train and do not depend on the vagaries of the weather. Since all the rest, lazy "seals" smoothly flow into the hotel lobby and the same thing continues there as in a restaurant, op, crawling on the floor, running screaming along the floors and the hall becomes like a waiting room of the station. Wi-fi works in the room on a laptop is rather weak, on the phone it worked only on one of the three.
