5 Star Halkidiki Holidays

Evan London (Evan London)

I recently stayed at this hotel because it was conveniently located near Ouranoupoli, where my friends and I were taking the boat to visit Mount Athos. It turned out to be a wonderful choice! The hotel itself was excellent, clean, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. The location is perfect for anyone planning a trip to Mount Athos or exploring the surrounding area. The staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming, always ready to help with a smile. By coincidence, during our stay we got to experience a staff party celebrating the end of the season. It was such a pleasant surprise to see everyone so joyful and full of positive energy, it really added to the warm atmosphere of the place. Overall, a great stay in every way. Highly recommended!

Stay took place in June–July 2024 (14 nights, half board, approx. €4000). At the time of stay, rooms showed visible wear (leaking AC, malfunctioning phone, screaming doors, dirt in the room). Food quality did not match the advertised 5-star category, dirt everywhere. Staff were polite, but understaffed for the size of the resort. Not recommended 👎

great three star hotel... At first I was a little surprised why the hotel is ranked as 5 stars, but then it became clear to me :)) the daily fee is 15 euros for a room in 5 star hotels, that's why this hotel declared itself 5 stars so that it could charge a daily fee of 15 euros, otherwise guests would only have to pay 5 euros... So the five star sign is just a scam and a higher charge for guests... (three stars and that's it...) If the hotel management denies my comment, it means they have never visited a real five-star hotel :)))) That was about the stars, now about the hotel... As I wrote, a nice hotel resort, quiet location, enough parking for all guests. Our room was nice, comfortable, nice big beds and comfortable mattresses, it was cleaned nicely every day. The kitchen: I want the manager to explain to me how it is possible that in such a big kitchen with so many people, there is a juice and water dispenser in only one place????? There should be at least three positions... Breakfast was mostly poor Dinner one day good, one day poor... poor choice of main courses, only 3,4 types... good choice of fresh salads the service and staff were good! I want you to take my criticisms positively, and try to improve some things...

We stayed in the hotel last week of September, the hotel is baby friendly, especially Dora in the restaurant - she was a star! Our baby loved her, she made him laugh all the time.

Absolutely loved this place. Great location and great people. First time in Greece and this place, wow did they leave a lasting impression. Special mentions of Babis, Dima, Vaggelis and Agapi. Give them a payrise they make the place!

This hotel is absolutely not a 5-star experience. From start to finish, the stay was extremely disappointing. The staff were rude and unhelpful. The room looked nothing like the pictures – very old, poorly maintained, and full of dysfunctions. The air conditioning didn’t work and we had to call maintenance. The bathrobe was old and smelled horrible. The extra bed for the third person was basically unusable – just a thin sponge mattress on a folding metal frame, impossible to sleep on comfortably. The light switches in the room didn’t work properly when we arrived, so we had no light in the bathroom for a while. In the bathroom, water leaked from the bottom of the tub, flooding the entire bathroom after every shower. On the beach, there was even a day with a shortage of towels due to “laundry issues,” meaning another unnecessary wait for something as basic as a towel. Overall, the waiting time for everything was extremely long – service, requests, even basic needs. I honestly cannot understand how this place calls itself a 5-star hotel. It was one of the worst experiences, and I would never recommend it.

DEFINITELY NOT A 5 STAR RESORT This gives the feel of a resort that was once upon a time 5 star resort. I’ve had the pleasure of staying in numerous 5 star resorts, unfortunately this one is at the bottom of the list. This didn’t mean it was a terrible stay, it’s just not 5 stars. I think they need to adjust this marketing in order to avoid people being disappointed. PROS: - Most of the staff were very polite and helpful - The pool and beach area are lovely - We had no issues with room service, they were always helpful when called (saw reviews where people’s requests were being ignored) CONS: - The food, I cannot explain how far away from 5 stars the food is. Least favourite buffet I have encountered unfortunately. We ended up going into town for most meals (even though we had half board) the food in town is delicious and actually makes you feel like you’re in Greece. - The buffet is also carnage, so many people pushing and shoving you out of the way. It seems they could extend the hours or have other restaurants offering a buffet to rectify this issue. Way too crowded. - Hotel in general is tired, you can tell the upkeep is neglected on so many areas within the hotel, we were told we could book activities through the app or on the screens around the hotel. None of the screens worked properly and the app didn’t let you book either. - Some of the activity staff were incredibly rude and unhelpful. We tried to book a restaurant to use our half board, to which we were rudely told no, we need to book 1 day in advance as the restaurant was fully booked and we’d just have to go back to the buffet. We walked past this restaurant and there wasn’t a single table booked. So we asked them for a table and they said not a problem. This was at 6pm, we were there until 7:30pm. Not one other table came during this time when it was apparently ‘fully booked’ It just seemed an unnecessary lie and control complex by the staff member - not 5 star behaviour. - It seems you can smoke anywhere, I’ve never been to a 5 star hotel that allows this, normally there should be designated areas. It’s not nice for non smokers and at times felt impossible to avoid. Another thing to note if you are a couple or solo traveller, kids are everywhere. We saw so many arguments amongst kids and parents, it makes for loud and uncomfortable environment when trying to relax by the pool or beach. Not necessarily a hotel issue, but something to be aware of. I would say this hotel is more of an upper end of a 3 star experience. Certainly not even close to 5 stars, we left feeling disappointed because of this.

We stayed at Porto Carras Hotel in room 1275, and while there are some positives, unfortunately the negatives far outweigh them. Positive: The staff is truly exceptional. From cleaners to kitchen staff, waiters, and receptionists – everyone is polite, hardworking, and at a very high professional level. They were the highlight of our stay. Negative: The hotel itself is overpriced and definitely not worthy of a 5-star rating. Our room, overlooking the fountain and mountains, had visible issues: rust had formed on the bathtub drain, the first stream of water from the tap always came out yellow, the panel above the bed was broken, and cracks were visible all over the walls. On the beach, there are not enough showers, and the beach bar and towel service only open at 10 AM – so if you come earlier, you don’t have access to either. There is only one toilet for the entire beach, which is unacceptable. Inside the hotel, the second-floor corridor constantly smelled terrible because of leaking air conditioning units dripping onto the carpet. Thankfully, our room was not close to it, but it was unbearable when passing by. Breakfast and dinner feel like a public canteen. If you don’t arrive early, the overcrowding makes eating uncomfortable. The staff, as hard as they try, simply cannot keep up with cleaning tables, leaving many sticky and dirty. The children’s chairs were always filthy – we had to clean them ourselves with wet wipes every single time before placing our child in one. Overall: For the price paid, all of this is unacceptable. The hotel trades on its name and location, but the facilities, maintenance, and dining experience are nowhere near 5-star standards.

Great hotel , worth the price , great food , big room , amazing view from the balcony. It was really crowded and loud, but we found our peace in the early breakfast and dinner , and going to the beach in the early morning and at sunset. The sunsets are amazing.

Lewis Bingle

Beautiful quiet coastal location. Attractive buildings, lovely well-maintained grounds and comfortable rooms in a slightly rustic style that I really liked. The buffet food (we had half-board) was good if not exceptional and there was always lots of choice. All the staff we encountered were great - very competent but also helpful & friendly. Would definitely go back.

Neptün Plüton

We were very satisfied with the hotel. I stayed with my family of four for 3 nights. The room was very clean and spacious. The door of the room faced the pool, and just 5 steps from the door we were at the pool. It was very relaxing. The staff were friendly and attentive. There was a wide variety at breakfast. The dinner was not bad either. The beach was nice — the sand wasn’t very fine, but the sea was crystal clear. We were pleased with our stay.

Ciprian Georgiu

We stayed at this 5-star resort in Greece and overall had a great experience, though a few areas could be improved. The hotel itself is beautiful, with well-maintained facilities and a peaceful atmosphere. The rooms were quiet and comfortable — perfect for a relaxing getaway. The beach was another highlight: clean, scenic, and pleasantly shady during the first part of the day, which made mornings especially enjoyable. There was also ample parking available, which made things very convenient. The only downside was the food, which felt average and not quite up to the 5-star standard we were expecting. Still, it’s a lovely place to unwind and enjoy the Greek coast. With some upgrades to the dining experience, it could be truly exceptional.

Csaba Palicsko

We stayed in the hotel in August and were overall very satisfied. The service was excellent and the staff made our stay special. A big thank you to Aggelos in the main restaurant and the wonderful ladies at the kids club, who were perfect with our children. At the pool bar, the young gentleman and the gentleman with glasses (sorry we don’t recall their names) were always friendly and went out of their way to help. The facilities are great and well maintained. We also enjoyed the food – there was plenty of choice at both breakfast and dinner, so we don’t understand why some say it’s boring. The beach is small, but just a 5-6 minute walk to the sister hotel Lily Ann you’ll find a bigger beach and even a pool right next to it, which our kids loved. All in all, a great hotel with amazing staff – we would definitely come back.

Cristian Iacob

Nice resort with modern furniture and in good conditions. Nice restaurant and the food was great, the downside is that the breakfast was the same every day. Parking and charging station were available inside the resort. The main issue was with the cleaning services, they only took the garbage and clean the floors with a wet cloth and once in 6 days they changed the bedsheets on our request.

Aurélie E.

Superb resort with excellent amenities. The hotel offers top-notch facilities, a stunning beach, and a great location. Everything is very well designed and thoughtfully planned. Our suite was fabulous — certainly one of the best we’ve ever had — and the overall cleanliness was impeccable. The staff were friendly, warm, and radiated positivity throughout our stay. Areas for improvement: The main issue was at the restaurant level. Unfortunately, the food was often not served hot enough, even directly from the kitchen. While we truly appreciated the staff’s efforts to listen to our feedback and follow up in the following days, the problem of low food temperature persisted. We would also suggest introducing a dress code for dinner, as some guests arrived dressed as though they had come straight from the beach. The beach deserves special mention. It is one of the resort’s strongest assets and truly sets the hotel apart. However, despite the presence of many garbage bins, it was disappointing to see some guests carelessly throwing cigarette butts into the sand. Given the Blue Flag recognition, it might be worthwhile for the hotel to enforce stricter measures to preserve this important value.

Our stay at this hotel left us with the most pleasant impressions! 🌞 The service is excellent — the staff is always welcoming with a smile and ready to assist. A special thanks goes to the manager, Despina, who helped us resolve all the questions that came up during our stay and made our vacation even better than we could have imagined. Her attentiveness, kindness, and professionalism truly made a difference! The hotel grounds are not very large, but beautifully maintained and thoughtfully arranged. The food is absolutely delicious — a wide selection of fresh and tasty dishes every day. Upon arrival, we were greeted with refreshing drinks and champagne — a lovely touch that immediately made us feel welcome. The sea is clean and warm, and there were always free sunbeds on the beach. And the bar deserves a separate mention — the cocktails are delicious and create the perfect holiday mood.

Anush Avetiqyan

I had an amazing stay at Kassandra Palace Seaside Resort! The location is absolutely stunning — right by the sea with breathtaking views and a peaceful atmosphere. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, always going the extra mile to make our stay enjoyable. The food was delicious with a great variety at breakfast and dinner, and the beach area was spotless and relaxing. The whole resort has a calm and elegant vibe, perfect for both families and couples looking for a quiet getaway. I would definitely love to come back! 🌊🌿

Sarah Taylor

Really enjoyed our stay at Kassandra Palace. We went first week of October so out of peak season. It was slightly on the cooler side but a lot of space around the pool, beach area etc which was great. Buffet didn't open until 7pm so was often a queue outside and quite chaotic if you went before 7.30/8pm. I am gluten free and all the food was marked clearly with gluten free / vegan / vegetarian labels which was good, but there was also a risk of cross contamination given the buffet self serve style. I was told that they could provide me with gluten free bread from the kitchen, but I didn't end up using this option. The two slightly frustrating parts of the food service was that they provide you with a sandwich if you arrive late, and a packed breakfast if you are going on one of the excursions - both of these were clearly the same as my partners who can eat gluten so I wasn't able to have these. The outside pool did attract a lot of flies, so probably did need to be cleaned more regularly than it was (looked like it was cleaned daily) All the staff were really friendly and it was nice having the spa on site with indoor pool, sauna and treatments available. We also made use of one of the yoga sessions and the tennis courts. There was a good range of activities to do everyday including a number of excursions to the surrounding area, although some of these were not running at the end of the season. It was really nice having the beach and sun loungers so close for no additional cost to use, and the sunrise was amazing from here.

Margarita Osmani

I had a good overall experience. The food was great, with dinner having more variations day to day while breakfast was more or less the same. The grounds/beach are very well kept and pretty. The rooms do need an update as other reviewers have mentioned but everything is working fine. The staff is also polite. However, there are a few things I have noted: 1. There is a “no sun bed reservation” policy but this was never enforced during our stay. 2. Our bathroom door was made of glass and it had gaps on the sides so you could see inside. This was extremely strange. 3. The drinks at the beach bar are a bit expensive (5 euros for coffee). 4. The only drink served during dinner is detox water which tasted odd to me. 5. The food hall gets somewhat chaotic which made dinner a bit stressful. 6. In response to some reviewers complaining about kids, I think it is clear that this is a family resort. There were a lot of toddlers so don’t expect silence 😅.

Taz Watson

This place exceeded our expectations! The staff go above and beyond to make sure you have what you need throughout your whole stay. Went in mid-September and the weather was perfect. When they say “all-inclusive,” they mean just that. I proposed to my girlfriend and they helped me with any arrangements that I wanted. We are already looking forward to going back!

Olivia Harman

We had a really lovely stay at the hotel it was our first time staying in an Ikos hotel. We booked the hotel as it was our honeymoon and the staff made extra effort decorating our room lovely for when we checked into our room. The staff can’t do enough for you at the hotel whether that’s during dinner or even around the pool, the service is definitely the best we have received in any hotel. We enjoyed the mixture of restaurants and really enjoyed table service rather than only option of buffet style of an all inclusive. I do think could improve slightly on the entertainment side of things and also perhaps some entertainment during the day. Other hotels offer water polo or other games in the main pool during the day which can be good fun. Would be nice for more of a lively atmosphere as it can be slightly flat atmosphere and I think with introducing some games and better entertainment the atmosphere would be great. I would recommend the hotel however just to note that there isn’t an awful lot to do near by and the towns are very quiet but the offering of using the Tesla for the day gives you so much freedom to explore the beautiful beaches the island has to offer. Safe to say we have really had a lovely honeymoon and it has been very special and a holiday to not forget.

Graham Roberts

This is a very nice hotel with excellent food and service. We feel that it lacks a bar with ambience where you can relax of an evening as the adults only bar lacks atmosphere and the lobby bar as the name suggests is like sitting in a thoroughfare. We feel that Ikos Dassia ticked more boxes for us maybe with the exception of service. Would we go back to Ikos? Definitely. Would be go back to Oceania? Possibly not but not because of anything wrong but just that we’ve experienced better at Dassia.

Sunil

From the arrival to the moment we left - Ikos Oceania staff could not do enough for us! We were a large group of 17 people, 5 months to 85 yrs! The resort is simply stunning. The staff are exceptional. The restaurants choices are very good. The all-inclusive package is very high end. Overall, this is an excellent choice for a very high end all inclusive experience at a beautifully located resort with amazing staff team. We will definitely be coming back!

Emma Buckle

This is now our 3rd visit to this magnificent hotel. The obit place to feel like home as soon as you arrive. We have 4 children travelling with us between 2 families. 14,11,8 and 4. They say it’s their best ever holiday. Kids club for the little ones, football for the boys, water sports, independence and bike hire for all. There really is something for everyone. The beach is beautiful, sheltered and shallow. Super safe. Yes it is the oldest Ikos resort, but for me, the feel, service, attention to detail and atmosphere here is simply the best. It’s like a well oiled machine. Everything is seamless and it’s one happy family working in harmony! We are looked after so well. The staff here are phenomenal! Too many special staff to mention Alex and Despina at the deluxe pool, Nester in Fresco and the Georges and Chris on the buggies! We absolutely love Ikos Oceania and will certainly be back! Thank you Ikos team 💙

Samantha Griffin

I genuinely cannot express enough how amazing our time was here. Everything from the outstanding food, delicious beverages, cleanliness, pool/beach access, great housekeeping for our room, warmth and kindness of the staff, and quick response time was absolutely incredible. We have a huge group of staff members to thank (and sadly, I think I am forgetting a few names). Special thanks to Andreea, Alex, Nicolae, Klarrisa, Stavros, George, Anisa, Maria, and Ageliki. Of those thanks, a HUGE one goes out to Andreea. As a manager, she was simply outstanding. Andreea took the time to meet with us to receive our feedback on the resort. When I had a few very minor concerns, she went above and beyond to remedy everything and was so warm, welcoming, and accommodating. My husband and I felt as though every single meal we had was simply outstanding, as was every exchange with the staff. I highly, highly, highly recommend coming here! We have already booked to come back next October with our two young daughters. This trip, we went as just a couple (which was wonderful), but the resort is also very family friendly, which is a plus. We can't wait to be back!

Overall, we felt the quality to price ratio was super! We booked our next trip the day we got back- that’s a first and tells you all you need to know. We will return in April for a third time. I never thought I’d return repeatedly to the same resort, but the whole setup really lends itself to quality, enjoyable family time. PROS - stunning natural forest for running and long, white sandy beach for beach walks - nice sea views from the rooms - incredible, 5 star service - what do they do to keep ALL staff so darn smiley? - high-quality, delicious food at every restaurant - variety - so many pools, beaches, restaurants and spas to choose from! - accommodating for big groups - great kids clubs, mine loved going and the girls were all so enthusiastic and loving towards my little ones - Chelsea football academy was beloved by 2 of mine - the zip-lining is a blast and the guys who work there are really great - special shout out to Pentalis the Dunes buggy driver who made my life so so much easier one day helping to transport my kids - econceirge - special second shout out to Angie! Thank you! - other guests - Sani attracts a nice crowd; my kids always make friends - fast meal service - boat trips and Volvo trips - sunsets - we had beautiful sunsets every night - private transfers are a plus - all the small touches CONS - €20 corkage fee - this shouldn’t be so high or even exist at all. People will still mostly drink from the restaurants even without a corkage fee. We just brought one nice bottle of wine, and found this annoying and unnecessary. - no buggy availability - just buy more buggies - inflexibility of restaurant reservations - when travelling in a big group with kids, it’d be nice if more would’ve been done to add people to bookings

4 stars doesn’t quite do it justice. Overall, it is amazing. Genuinely. It’s in a lovely resort, with loads of amenities, great food, and brilliant, attentive staff. We went with our toddler, and it really is made for them. For example: everywhere you go they have a choice of seating choices (first time we used booster-style chairs instead of high chairs), toddler cutlery/crockery, and great food choices. When we first walked around the resort I immediately went “wow” However, there is one big reason I can’t give it five stars: the pools are freezing! We went in late September, and the preside temperature during our stay was around 28c, so not cold. But the pools were. It wasn’t a massive problem for me (hardy adult male), but my toddler was freezing in minutes, which is difficult when you’ve got a toddler who loves water as much as they do! It didn’t stop us having a great time, but it took the edge off what would otherwise have been an almost perfect stay. (PS: the pools are apparently heated and we weren’t the only family to say how cold they were) The other slight gripe was that bed and pillows were not very good, but the hotel will soon be refurbished so that will presumably be resolved. One other thing to note: there are many lovely restaurants around the big resort - including the beautiful marina - where you can eat a set menu as part of your board arrangements. What we didn’t know is all these restaurants book up early so you need to book way in advance of your stay

Sue Davies

This is paradise. Nothing to fault. Friendly staff and food more than adequate. Plenty for everyone choice wise. Entertainment not 5 star though at times. But the white night was brilliant. Location excellent as are the beaches so many to again choose. Brilliant idea with the sunbeds no reservations. Staff work hard room was immaculate. We were on the 5th floor views were stunning. Thankyou for such a excellent holiday looking forward to coming back here again 😀

Exceptional Wine Tasting Experience at Sani Beach Resort 🍷 During our stay at Sani Beach Resort, we had the pleasure of joining a wine tasting at the Grill by the Pool restaurant — and it was truly unforgettable. Haris Hatziioannidis, the Food & Beverage Manager, hosted the afternoon with remarkable professionalism, warmth, and passion. His deep knowledge of wines, combined with his engaging presentation and genuine hospitality, made the experience absolutely outstanding. Each wine was perfectly matched with the dishes, highlighting local Greek flavors and creating a refined yet relaxed atmosphere by the pool. Haris’s attention to detail and enthusiasm elevated the entire evening — it was without a doubt one of the highlights of our visit. Highly recommended for anyone staying at Sani — don’t miss this unique wine journey! 🍇✨

Nadia Koleva

The hotel is great. There are a lot of activities that they offer. The rooms are modern, spacious and impeccably clean, with beautiful views and every small detail taken care of. The staff are incredibly welcoming, attentive and always ready to help. The pool and beach areas are stunning, quiet and perfect for unwinding, while the restaurants offer high-quality food with great variety. An ideal place for a premium holiday — we would definitely return!

We stayed at the Sani Dunes in the Sani Resort, and we can honestly say: the resort itself is absolutely beautiful! It’s spacious, first-class, and impeccably clean. The location is wonderful – peaceful yet conveniently situated. The staff are extremely attentive and genuinely friendly, making you feel welcome from the very first moment. The rooms are large, modern, and spotless. The beds are super comfortable – we can’t comment on the pillows since we brought our own, though the ones provided seemed a bit flat. The e-concierge service was excellent, and our visit to the spa was also a real highlight – relaxing and very professional. The Private Garden Rooms are particularly lovely. The greenery surrounding the garden provides a pleasant sense of privacy – both in the pool-view and sea-view options. However, it’s worth mentioning that to reach the restaurants or beach, guests walk directly past these gardens, especially those in the front beach sea view area. That’s also where the main path runs, along which the golf caddies drive. So, while the garden feels private, it’s still somewhat visible to passersby. We could only spend two days by the pool because of the weather – we were there during the low season. However, music was played at the pool bar in the afternoons, and it wasn’t exactly quiet. You could clearly hear it even in the private garden areas. Just a heads-up: it might get louder during the high season, and other reviews may mention this as well. For us, that wasn’t ideal, as we specifically chose Sani Dunes because it’s less family-oriented and we were hoping for peace and relaxation. Overall, it was a bit too noisy for our taste. The biggest downside for us, however, was the food. We tried the buffet once – it was okay-ish, nothing more – and had two Dine-Around experiences. Sadly, we found that these were essentially just nicely presented buffet dishes. For example, the mashed potatoes were clearly from a packet and not freshly made. The best restaurant we tried was Lima (A la Carte) – the food there was truly delicious, but the value for money wasn’t right. For example, five small green asparagus spears with a bit of sauce as a side dish cost €17, which felt excessive. Overall, we were quite disappointed with the dining experience, especially after seeing so many beautiful photos suggesting a fine-dining level of quality. We had been really looking forward to that, but the reality didn’t meet our expectations. We’ve stayed in other 5-star resorts – even in Greece – for less money and had far better food. Since dining is an important part of a relaxing holiday for us, we’d rather have a smaller room if the food were truly exceptional. In summary: a stunning resort with wonderful service, beautiful rooms, and a lovely atmosphere – but with limited garden privacy, noticeable poolside noise, and a disappointing culinary experience for the price. For that reason, we probably wouldn’t return. Summary 🌴 Beautiful resort – spacious, clean, elegant, great location 🛏️ Rooms – large, modern, spotless, very comfortable beds 🪴 Private Garden Rooms – lovely but visible to passing guests 🎶 Pool area – afternoon music quite loud, audible even in garden rooms 🍽️ Food – underwhelming quality, buffet-style feel, poor value for money 💆 Spa & Service – excellent, professional, and very friendly 💶 Overall – beautiful hotel, but food and noise level don’t match the price 🔁 Verdict: Only partly recommended for guests seeking peace and fine dining

An absolutely amazing resort! It’s the 4th time of visiting the Sani resort and this time we stayed in Dunes as we were going as a couple rather than a family.

Paolo Rubatto

I have been coming with my family to Sani Dunes for many years, but this year, it has hit an all-time low. Terribly poor customer service, overpriced room (€3k) "beachfront" to be above the kitchen breathing the smell of food or of the smoking of the staff taking their break, with garbage disposal and collection just behind. Ants coming in the "better" room from holes in it s walls (pictures attached) Furthermore, the cleaning of the room is very basic for the standard the hotel claims to be, the terrace was never cleaned in 10 days, delicacies delivered full of ants (look at the pictures). Forced to change room in the middle of the stay for a higher category but the room standard and experience was worse. Very poorly handled by the hotel, nothing was mentioned at check in, just notified 30minutes before that the room needs to be freed in a very unpleasant manner... When all the problems were brought up to the hotel management, nothing was done, the manager did not even show his face, not even a courtesy note for an overdue apology. Shameful and very poor management for a hotel that pretends to be 5 stars. Customers are just treated as a number, not as humans paying an excessive amount of money for such a poor experience. To be avoided, there are much better options at this price than this hotel

Emma Bertrand

wonderful experience at sani dunes ! special mention to nikos ! we come here every summer since 8 years. the service is perfect, the landscape is more than amazing, there are a lot of restaurants

An Unforgettable Family Stay at Ikos Olivia We stayed at Ikos Olivia for five nights with our family, and it was truly one of the best all-inclusive experiences we’ve ever had. This was our first time at an Ikos resort, and we chose Olivia after friends—who have been visiting Ikos Oceania for years—highly recommended it. We picked Ikos Olivia because of the private pool, and it turned out to be the perfect choice. If you’re traveling with children, this place is simply exceptional. The Kids Club is the main attraction for any parent. The staff take such great care of the kids and keep them happily busy with fun and creative activities. It gives parents a real chance to relax, knowing their little ones are in the best hands. The food at all the restaurants was outstanding—every meal was a pleasure. And the Deluxe Collection team deserves a special mention. Their WhatsApp service is brilliant—it makes communication so easy and smooth. But what truly sets Ikos Olivia apart is the staff. You hardly ever hear “no” to anything you ask for. Everyone goes out of their way to make sure guests are happy. The level of warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail is something very special. A special appreciation for the housekeeping team—they are the unsung heroes of this resort. I’ve stayed in many hotels around the world, and I’ve rarely seen such dedication. The rooms are cleaned twice a day, always with a smile, and never once did we come back to find the room skipped. They somehow find the perfect time to make sure everything is spotless. It’s small details like this that make a big difference. Ikos Olivia is the perfect combination of luxury, relaxation, and genuine hospitality. Unfortunately, our next holiday season is already quite full, but we’re definitely going to squeeze in at least five days at one of the Ikos resorts. A special mention to the GM for leading such a wonderful team and running such a fantastic resort. Thank you, Ikos Olivia, for an unforgettable stay—we can’t wait to return! Family Das

Beautiful hotel, selection and quality of food and drinks is excellent. Wonderful kids club, swimming pools, car hire, pedalos, kayaks, bike hire, tennis and volleyball courts. Spa was wonderful and treatment was very relaxing. Staff all very friendly, polite and strive to make your stay as pleasant as possible. Sometimes the service can be sub-par (e.g. having to ask for a spoon twice to eat my dessert as the first request seemed to have been forgotten, ordering drinks to our room and one of the drinks being missing despite messaging on the hotel WhatsApp to let them know and it still never being delivered). In general, we got the impression that possibly there were fewer staff members than this time 2 years ago so maybe staff are spread more thinly. Was told by a server in a restaurant that it's possible to pre-order food from one restaurant to be delivered to another restaurant we were booked into the following evening but then staff on the hotel WhatsApp saying that's not possible. We also found it strange when on more than one occasion we requested to move the time of our dinner reservation to an earlier time (e.g. 1 hr earlier) and being told it wasn't possible. However, we went to the restaurant earlier to ask if we could be seated earlier and being kindly accommodated (being seated at 7.45pm vs the 8.30pm reservation time). At the time when we arrived at 7.45pm, there seemed to be several available tables which made it seem strange that we were told it wasn't possible to move the reservation to an earlier time via the hotel WhatsApp. Staff did however very kindly enable us to have dinner in The Garden restaurant when we were previously told it wasn't available on one particular evening.

We came to Ikos Olivia for our honeymoon, and whilst some elements were great, I would not recommend it for couples - it is purely a family resort, with the vast majority of guests being families with young children. The service was amazing, the rooms were lovely and the facilities are plentiful - we loved playing table tennis, swimming, darts, going to the gym. All the staff were lovely and they genuinely want you to have an amazing holiday. We really struggled to get over just how many children there were at the resort though - the website made it seem like it would be a tranquil, peaceful escape, perfect for a honeymoon. This was not the case - at meal times, young children are crying, screaming and running around your table. If you're all dressed up on your honeymoon and looking for a romantic escape, this can really ruin the ambience! During the day it wasn't so much of an issue, although it would be good to have more adult only areas as these were almost always completely full. There are adult only areas in the restaurant but they closely neighbour the children's tables, which defeats the point slightly. I know that part of this is down to the parents, but I do think that Ikos needs to be more transparent in their marketing to show the kind of experience that couples can expect at Ikos Olivia. We felt really cheated of our money and honeymoon because of this false advertising. We did speak with Niki, from the guest relations team, who was sympathetic and gave us a 9% discount, and we're grateful to her for her help. I just really want to ensure that no one else makes the same mistake as us! Apparently some of the other ikos resorts, such as Dassia, are more suited to couples - Olivia apparently gets the most children as it is small and flat. This information should really be available online so that guests can make the best decision before booking. Many other couples who we spoke to had similar complaints sadly, and had also spent thousands on their holiday. We're gutted that we won't be able to do our honeymoon again, and that all the money we saved to go to Ikos wasn't with it, but hoping that other couples can learn from our experience.

We had an amazing stay! The service was absolutely perfect, with excellent restaurants and a fantastic breakfast. The beach service was impeccable as well. We came as a couple and really enjoyed it – there are quite a lot of children around, but the many “adults only” areas made it just perfect for us. Highly recommend! :-)

We recently spent 10 unforgettable days at Ikos Olivia, and it was nothing short of exceptional from start to finish. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth, efficiency, and genuine smiles that instantly set the tone for a truly relaxing holiday. The resort itself is stunning — beautifully landscaped gardens, olive trees, and a peaceful atmosphere that makes you feel completely at ease. Everything is perfectly maintained, and the layout ensures that even when the hotel is full, it never feels crowded. Our room was modern, spacious, and spotless, with every detail carefully thought out for comfort and convenience. Housekeeping was flawless, and the little touches each day made us feel truly cared for. We mainly dined at Flavors, and it was consistently excellent. The variety, quality, and presentation of the food were all impressive, and the staff went above and beyond to make every meal enjoyable. The team there deserve a special mention — always friendly, attentive, and genuinely eager to ensure guests have a wonderful experience. There are many restaurants to dine at and even a dining out experience which are all included in the holiday. We took advantage of using one of the Tesla cars for the day which is also included, so it was nice to have a ride around. A shuttle bus was organised for us to go to the Cosmos Mediterranean shopping centre which is well worth a visit. The beach and pool areas were equally impressive — clean, calm, and beautifully maintained. There were always loungers available, and the service was seamless, with staff bringing drinks and snacks right to your sunbed. The crystal-clear water and relaxed atmosphere made it the perfect place to unwind. What really makes Ikos Olivia stand out, though, is the incredible staff. Every single person we met was professional, kind, and genuinely passionate about making guests feel special. The level of service here is second to none — nothing ever feels like too much trouble. After 10 days of pure relaxation, we left feeling completely refreshed and already planning our return. Ikos Olivia is a true gem — where luxury, comfort, and heartfelt hospitality come together perfectly. Thank you to everyone at Ikos Olivia for making our stay so memorable — we can’t wait to be back! 🌺

The resort is beautiful, and we have stayed here twice before. On those occasions, everything was wonderful – the staff was friendly, the restaurants were excellent, and there were plenty of fantastic activities for the children. This year, however, our experience was quite different. We are two families vacationing together, but we were booked into different restaurants and, in some cases, given very late dinner reservations. This made it difficult for us to enjoy meals together as a group. Additionally, many things were already fully booked when we arrived. We were assigned dinner reservations at the Asian restaurant for three of our seven nights, which was somewhat disappointing given that we were in Greece and had hoped to enjoy more local cuisine during our stay. Fairly speaking, the hotel staff did make efforts to accommodate us with restaurant bookings and activities, but these attempts only came after we repeatedly asked and expressed our concerns. Given the price point of the resort, we feel this level of service is not quite adequate. The main reason we have always returned to this resort was the variety of activities offered for the kids. Unfortunately, this time there were no spots available in any of the activities when we arrived. We spoke with another family who told us they had to book restaurants and activities eight months in advance, and even then, they were placed on waiting lists. Having to plan so far ahead feels quite impractical, especially considering the price point. It is truly regrettable to see a place where we once felt relaxed and comfortable become a source of stress, worrying whether our children—and ourselves—can fully enjoy our time here.

We’ve been to Asterias a couple of times before as well as Porto Sani. Last time at Asterias in 2024 was superb. However, our most recent visit in summer 2025 was very disappointing and I sadly think it may’ve changed notably. The main issue was how overdeveloped / busy the resort has become. They have built a number of new properties at Asterias. Most of them have their own private pools but guests preferred to come use the main pool which caused issues with overcrowding - we were refused a lounger on several days and I think that’s simply unacceptable as this is prized as the most exclusive (expensive) option at Sani. We have chosen it for the better service and quieter vibe in the past and that’s not the case anymore. One member of staff told me openly about the error on calculation of the overdevelopment of the resort and the failed assumption that residents would use their own private pools in the new properties. In addition, we requested the same room as the prior year, months in advance. As a loyal customer, I thought this would be easy, but no. Seized shower valve - this was a problem throughout our stay and we had to ask several times as it was simply impossible to alter the temperature at times. It was never properly fixed. Leaking shower enclosure - flooding the bathroom several times. After fobbing me off with maintenance visits to repair it, they finally decided to be honest and told me it was a design fault and something that will be fixed in the future across many rooms. Again, not really acceptable at this price point and why not be honest at the outset? Serving different wine vintages to what’s advertised - when you are spending €250+ on a bottle, please don’t serve me a different vintage to what’s on the wine list…. Kids “babe watch” service unavailable for part of our stay - this was a nice service in prior years where a couple of ladies would have a station to make sand castles / sand play with your kids as you observed from your lounger on the beach. This wasn’t available for 3 days of our 10 day stay when it was at the other resorts at Sani. Lack of loyalty perks - prior to our most recent visit, I had been upgraded to “Black tier” on their loyalty programme which states that I’m entitled to a room upgrade on arrival. I never got this. All in all, it pains me as we had a few memorable stays and happy memories at Sani and would’ve loved to have continued our annual visit there. But the failings above are hard to stomach and I feel they really let us down this last visit.

Kim Luther

Sani Asterias hotel is another level, the staff are all amazing, the white sandy beaches are beautiful and peaceful, the restaurants food is the best quality and choice, reception is glorious design and the staff are excellent. The spa is amazing had a massage with Eva which was the best I’ve ever had the overall quality and experience is first class plus

Loutfy Mansour

Great hotel great service. But for the price point there should be a designated gym for the property unfortunately using the gym of the another property does not work.

Janet Lloyd

This rates as my top holiday hotel. It is the most amazing place. The staff,the position,the views,the restaurants are amongst the best I have ever experienced. This hotel has top class management and the staff working within this structure are amongst the happiest and friendliest I have ever had the pleasure to meet. This hotel, and the resort that it nestles in is unique,and a place I defy any discerning traveller to find fault with. It keeps enticing my husband and I back year after year. We never tire of this place.

Anna Tsvetanova

We stayed at Xenios Anastasia Resort and Spa with our family this summer, and it was a truly wonderful experience from beginning to end. Our room had a beautiful sea view, and waking up every morning to the blue horizon was simply magical. The atmosphere of the resort is calm, spacious, and very family-friendly, yet it still feels refined and relaxing. One of the most touching moments every day was dinner time — the entire staff gathers to welcome the guests, creating a warm and genuine sense of hospitality that you don’t often find. You really feel seen and appreciated as a guest, not just accommodated. The beach is directly in front of the hotel, and reaching it is a pleasure in itself: a short walk through olive trees that adds to the authentic Greek feeling and makes the transition from hotel to sea feel special and peaceful. The beach is clean, well-organized, and perfect for both adults and children. Overall, Xenios Anastasia Resort and Spa combines beautiful nature, excellent location, heartfelt service, and comfort. It’s an ideal choice for families who want relaxation, sea views, and a truly welcoming atmosphere.

For a 5-star hotel I expect a different experience. The advertising on their website is not real. Maybe it was in the past. At check-in we had to pay an "environmental fee (75 euros)". After I pre-paid (months ago) the whole vacation, I have to pay more. But you find out this only when you reach there. Room: The room was smelling of smoke. The double bed is actually 2 beds stick together with a big edge between them. Not enough power sockets. We had only one usable power socket for charging and usage of our devices. Bathroom: One night happened to find a cockroach in bathroom. The bath tube is under every critique. Black spots (mold), shower tap and head looks like are almost broken. The panel is not stopping the water from leaking on the floor. No activity for kids, even if they promise on their website. The food and the drinks were good, at least what I consumed. The personal was friendly. But the reception interaction less pleasant. The pool was good, but it was kind annoying with the shadow because the umbrellas were not well positioned, so I had to move the seat every hour. The beach, is not very convenient. The beach is starting with ground with olive trees (for shadow) and seats, which is kinda nice. Then is followed by an abrupt edge and then it starts the actual beach, which makes impossible to leave your kids free in the water, because you can't see them. The beach itself is thin and with rocks (I knew about this). Only a very small area is rock free.

Anelia Veleva

The rooms are old. We had bugs-cocroaches and i have phobia....The services are not what was in their website. They were promising animator for kids. And also program for kids. The room was never working. My kid was bored. Besides staying in pool what ahe could do. I had to give her phone... The room was smelling of cigarttes. Towels was changing everyday but one of the day they were black with something. We were prepared for nosand beach but there was no beach. Only shadow provide from olive trees. And we should go down the sea with stairs. How am i suposed to live my 6 y old kid in water only by watching it. Im not seeing her. Drinks from bar was free but idk what water they were using since i needed to go to toilet triple time more. You can visit the hotel but for difrent price.

Ana Beselica

We stayed for 5 nights and overall, the experience was a bit underwhelming. The all-inclusive package only lasted until 23:00, so if you wanted a drink after that (even just at 23:30), you had to pay extra. What was more disappointing is that we were only given one bottle of water in the minibar for the entire stay. Every time we wanted water, we had to walk to the pool bar for a glass—or pay for a bottle, which doesn’t feel very “all-inclusive.” The beach area also left much to be desired. There were no umbrellas, just some uncomfortable beds placed in the shade of olive trees. Also, there’s no sand, which may be a downside for beach lovers. On the positive side, the staff were absolutely amazing—very kind and helpful throughout our stay.

Jovan Gogoski

Our stay was from 14.09 till 19.09, a family of 2 adults and 2 small children and we had HB service. Staff was friendly, food was excellent, room was ok, everyday we had the room cleaned. There is a kids game room and a gym. Also a spa. The outdoor pool is nice with a smaller pool for children with lots of space. Nice garden with olive trees and a sunbeds and umbrellas you can use for free. The beach is private and suitable for children as it is shallow and not deep. There is a mini market inside hotel which is a bit outdated and not much to offer so take e food and drinks with you. The nearest bakery and supermarket is at 3 km away at Nea Skioni. Hotel is a bit outdated not really a 5 star hotel. It would get a bigger score if it is labeled as a 4 star hotel. In general we would recommend this hotel.

Ghenadie Cornitel

I have flight from Sweden to Greece, to Thessaloniki. We ordered a van to bring us from airport to Halkidiki. It went perfect, really. Everything. Nice clear car, polite driver, some goodies for my daughter. I strongly recommend!

Archontia Kalogianni

I recently had the pleasure of using this car transfer service and was extremely impressed with the level of service I received. The vehicle was in excellent condition, clean and spacious and had all the modern amenities you could wish for. The heated seats were a real highlight and made my journey even more comfortable!! The driver was also very knowledgeable about the local area and was able to provide me with some great recommendations for things to see and do during my stay. Overall, I would highly recommend this transfer service to anyone looking for a reliable and professional solution to get around town or travel to another destination. Best regards, Archontia

Demitrios Zapris

I booked a transfer from Thessaloniki to Hanioti Halkidiki on June 26th with return on the 29th. They were on time, called me in advance and gave me good directions how to meet up. The vehicle was very clean and the driver made sure the ride was comfortable ( not going too fast, abiding by the signage ). They also helped us with luggage and gave us good recommendations on what to do and where to go in Hanioti and nearby areas. I have zero complaints about the overall experience and the price was also very reasonable for the distance and service.

Theodoros Sossidis

Excellent service and great transfer. The Driver was very polite and he advised us for a lot of sightseeing and activities. They transported us for our full stay in Greece

George Papavramidis

The van was very clean and cosy. The driver was polite and we really enjoyed the ride with him. Thank you very much for your time and your patience. Keep up the good service.

Margarita Demetriade

Our stay at the hotel was wonderful. The hotel is spotlessly clean and beautiful with amazing views, close to the main square of Kallithea, and literally right on the beach, which was incredibly beautiful with crystal-clear waters and golden sand. The umbrella with the sunbeds are available for free for the residents of the hotel. The staff were very polite, and both breakfast and dinner were delicious and offered plenty of variety. The only thing to be aware of is the steep uphill path and the stairs leading to the square, which might be difficult for someone with mobility issues or people of older age.

shaza777

We stayed for 1 week in October with our 2 teenagers in the penthouse suite. The room was clean, modern and spacious with a beautiful view of the ocean. The hotel is perfectly situated at the beach, with a comfortable gazebo. The pool is also heated in October , one of the reasons we chose this hotel. The service and employees were excellent ... all of them! Thank you. The hotel is located near shops and small restaurants, all reachable by foot (although in October many shops are closed). We had a lovely stay and I'm sure we'll be back.

Anita Getseva

We loved this hotel on our first holiday with a with a 7 month old baby! The staff is amazing and helped with everything from helping warm up baby food and sterilise bottles to even entertaining the little one when he was fussy during meal time. The beach is perfect with crystal clear shallow waters perfect for small children, the beach is really clean and well kept! The hotel is new and also well maintained, we loved the great view of the sea as the hote is right on the beach and i personally enjoy that it is facing east so that you can enjoy the sunrise and shadow from the hotel in the afternoon on some parts of the sunbeds area. We loved the food and hospitality, highly recommend!

Ivan Yankov

Absolutely exceptional experience! From the moment we arrived, everything was perfect — warm hospitality, spotless rooms, and a truly relaxing atmosphere. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel special, and every detail was handled with care and professionalism. We’ve stayed in many places, but this hotel truly stands out. Highly recommended — we’ll definitely be coming back!

Alexandra A

Our stay at Ammon Zeus was simply wonderful. The location could not be more perfect — waking up to the sound of the sea and stepping straight onto the most beautiful beach was unforgettable. The staff were incredibly warm and attentive, always going out of their way to make us feel welcome and cared for. The rooms were comfortable, spotlessly clean, and thoughtfully designed, and the food — especially breakfast with a view — was a highlight of each day. Everything about the hotel feels charming yet professional, and it gave us the perfect balance of relaxation and hospitality. We left with such special memories and would love to return again soon.

Deni Murdzheva

We are impresses by this hotel. It was our first time in Greece and we are definitely going back. They have upgraded our room from standard to comfort as a compliment. Our balcony was overlooking the sea-beautiful! Room was clean and comfortable, there were everything you may need. We had half board- breakfast +dinner- all was fresh, tasty and various every day. By arrival they told us we could exchange the dinner for lunch in the restaurant outside which had a wonderful view to the beach and the sea. The lunch was not 100% inclusive, but we got 25 euros discount per person which was more than enough as it was not expensive. Food in that restaurant is beyond perfect, ate the most tender steak in my life and the risotto with truffel was from another world ....😋

Gill G

From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with true Greek hospitality; warm, friendly, and effortless. Check-in was smooth and personal, complete with a refreshing welcome drink. A special thanks to George, the Guest Services Manager, and his amazing team for their exceptional service throughout our stay. Our room was modern, elegant, and had a stunning sea view. The beach is just steps away, and the food was excellent; the buffet offered an impressive variety and catered beautifully to dietary preferences. Antonio’s à la carte restaurant is a must for a more elevated dining experience. We were lucky to experience the Haute Living upgrade, which included snacks and premium drinks throughout the day; a true luxury touch. The outdoor gym overlooking the Aegean Sea was another highlight. Every detail, from the art décor to the gorgeous spa, reflects refined style and comfort. With multiple pools and exceptional service, this 5-star adults-only resort exceeded all expectations. I can’t wait to return!

Krysia Kubinski-Johnson

Lots of positives to share about our stay at Domes Noruz Kassandra. Starting with the staff, everyone working across the whole hotel was extremely attentive, friendly and helpful. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and were very grateful for the surprise touches and hospitality throughout the week. The hotel overall both internally and externally is well kept, and the room was cleaned well daily, with fresh towels, beach towels and water bottles. The daily menu and range of food on offer every morning and evening with half board was varied and tasty. The location of the hotel is good - we came out of season, but it’s an easy walk to the local village which we can imagine in peak season is busy. Back at the hotel, the access from the pool area directly to the private beach and the sea is great. Very clean beach and clear water. We really enjoyed the outdoor fitness area looking out to sea! Would definitely recommend.

Natalia Tryba

Amazing hotel, perfect to relax. Stylish, modern and clean. The food is delicious, fresh, diverse. Friendly staff from the entrance. The only thing that surprised me is that you have to pay for the water during the dinner. It would be better to be charged more and have it included but that’s my opinion. We came after the season so the car is needed. Almost no busses and nothing to do in the village, sooo be aware. Many nice beaches within 15 mins. Totally recommend

Or Barnea

Our stay at Domes Resort was exceptional from start to finish. The property is beautifully designed, blending luxury with comfort, and the atmosphere feels both relaxing and welcoming. The staff were attentive, professional, and always ready to go the extra mile to make our experience memorable. The rooms were spacious, well-maintained, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed. Dining was a highlight – with diverse options and consistently high-quality meals. The resort also offers great facilities, from pools to wellness areas, making it ideal for both relaxation and exploration. Overall, a truly wonderful experience that we would highly recommend to anyone seeking a perfect getaway.”

Tom De Block

Wonderful Resort. Service level was amazing a few years ago and went down a bit but is still fine. The only thing they never figured out is the reservation system for the restaurants and the e-concierge. These simply don't work. If you can put the frustration around those aside, you will have a great holiday.

Jade Marlowe

We had the best week at Sani club with our family in May 2025. Sani club really does have the best sunsets! I would also highly recommend the Volvo tour. Special thanks to Alex Giapitzoglou for his hospitality and for being so helpful during our stay. We look forward to visiting Sani Club again soon!

Christian Storb

The hotel complex is truly gigantic, offering vast amounts of space for relaxation and enjoyment. The entire grounds are beautifully maintained and allow for a very peaceful atmosphere. The friendly staff and great service perfectly complement the excellent facilities.

IVY

We spent our family summer holidays here and would be happy to come back. The only disappointment is the pricing of a la carte menu and the pour variety of the dining around options which are basically the same in all restaurants : chicken, sea bass and pasta.

Stefan

Dear Sani Resort, I want to thank you. Me and my family have been at your resort 7-8 times, and have never been more happy. You have the truly BEST resort in Europe, best staff, best service, thank you so much for the unforgettable memories, for contributing to my childhood, friendships, mentality, happiness, Sani became a part of my family. Endless thanks to everyone and everything at Sani, you made me understand there is a paradise on earth. Thank you for making my life better. With Love❤️

Dilyana Milenkova

We’ve just returned from our very first stay at Sani – and it certainly won’t be our last! What an absolutely perfect place. I’ve never been to a resort where every single restaurant and meal was flawless. With so many dining options and activities, it can feel a little overwhelming at first, but our concierge, Ioanna at Porto Sani, was incredible. We had a slightly stressful personal start to our trip, but she went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and helped us organize everything we needed. We visited Sani to celebrate our 1st wedding anniversary with our son, and thanks to Ioanna and the whole Sani team, it turned out to be truly magical. We joined plenty of activities, explored every resort, and were blown away by the attention to detail everywhere we went. The entire property and surrounding areas are spotless, and the level of care in every aspect is remarkable. Even our airport transfers were perfectly arranged, complete with a baby seat and chilled water waiting for us in the car. The décor at Porto Sani was my absolute favourite – I couldn’t stop taking photos at every turn! I now fully understand why Sani has so many 5-star reviews, and it’s clear why so many people return again and again. Yacht Experience We chartered the 60ft Sani Grace yacht, with Captain George and hostess Anastasia. They were absolutely wonderful – attentive, friendly, and made the experience unforgettable. They took us to stunning spots, and we felt so well cared for throughout the trip. Entertainment The Garden Theatre and other live performances were fantastic – fun for all ages, and we ended up enjoying them on several nights. The trio playing at Cabana on Tuesday evenings created such a great atmosphere, even getting children up to dance! Evening bands at the Patisserie set the perfect mood, and the weekly White Party was a highlight – family-friendly yet full of energy, with a brilliant DJ and live musicians. The Greek Night, although on the pricier side, was also an excellent experience and great fun. Restaurants Every meal was a masterpiece. I honestly couldn’t believe how consistently outstanding the food was across all the restaurants. Cabana was our favourite spot for sunsets – the atmosphere there is simply breathtaking. Staff The staff are what truly make Sani so special. During our 9-day stay, every single person we encountered – from cleaners and restaurant teams to beach staff and even those simply passing by – was warm, welcoming, and fantastic with children. At Elias, Riad was so patient and kind with our little one (who had a few toddler meltdowns). At Lima, where we celebrated our anniversary, Nelly was a wonderful waitress who made the evening extra special. Childcare We also made use of the crèche and evening babysitting services, and our 2-year-old absolutely loved it! The team there were amazing, engaging the children in fun activities and creating a welcoming, safe environment. A small suggestion If I had one piece of feedback, it would be to improve the App and QR code system. Sometimes they didn’t work properly, and the App itself was quite limited in what you could actually do. A little investment here would make things even smoother for guests. Overall, our first Sani experience was magical – a perfect blend of luxury, warmth, and family-friendly fun. We can’t wait to return!

Kristianna Giannopoulos

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 – Perfection in Every Way! Our stay at Porto Sani was absolutely phenomenal from start to finish. We have travelled all the way from Australia, and it was worth every mile! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel like family. Every single person we encountered went above and beyond to make our holiday unforgettable. The facilities are amazing — perfect for kids and families — and you can tell how much care and attention goes into every detail. The food was exceptional, truly 10/10! Every meal was beautifully prepared, delicious, and served with warmth and professionalism. A special mention goes to our wonderful concierge, Sergio, who was incredibly hands-on, attentive, and always one step ahead of our needs. He made everything effortless for us. We’d also like to thank Mr. Costa and Manor from the front desk — both were so professional, kind, and genuinely caring. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and they made us feel so welcome throughout our stay. We were also joined by my sister and her family, and the Porto Sani team looked after us all with such grace and attention to detail. It really felt like a home away from home. Lastly, a heartfelt thank you to the cleaning ladies, who did a beautiful job every single day. Their warmth, smiles, and pride in their work truly stood out — they made our stay even more special. We are already planning to return to Sani every year. The professionalism, care, and hospitality at Porto Sani are unmatched. This resort has set a new standard for family holidays — simply perfect in every way. Thank you, Porto Sani — see you next year! Love the Hosni family.

Or Azarzar

We have experienced the Sani Beach last year but this time the Porto Sani is simply fantastic for families with kids who wants more privacy, luxury and quiet pools and areas. There’s a lot of pools where you can always find a quiet spot, the splash pool for the kids is awesome. Easy to navigate the hotel and it has its own Kids Club, Gym and Spa which makes it awesome. Highly recommended!

Joanne Earnshaw

What a spectacular experience❤️. We have had the pleasure of visiting Sani for fifteen years and have watched is develop and mature into what it is today. Although you may have the odd niggle when you are in a hotel/resort, this year has been absolutely flawless and as near to perfection as you can get! A special mention goes to ERISA for her ‘outstanding’ service and made our stay all the more special. Nelly for just being her joyful self and bringing a smile to our faces a generally all the staff are great. Thank you to Lima for your consistent and mouthwatering cuisine which is by far the best restaurant in the resort followed by Ouzerie with the best fish we have tasted. A mention to Elena at Macaroni for the most hospitable welcome year after year and welcoming everyone with her big smile. Finally to Harry the bar tender who was simply great and looked after us every night.

Gianna

We stayed at Porto Sani over the May half term. Words cannot describe the overall experience of a fantastic holiday. The hospitality received from Dimitris (reception personal concierge ) and Dimitrios (front office manager) made our stay extra special. Thank you for ensuring our family created memorable experiences and treasured memories!
