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.

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

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! 🍇✨

The best resort in Greece. We've been here 4 times and everytime it was exceptional. Its heaven in Greece. The atmosphere and location is so relaxing. There are a lot of activities to do (ecspecially for kids, but also for adults). The service is always excellent and attentive to details. The resort is very well designed and on a great location (the sea is crystal clear and vast). I definitely recommend it for people who want to totally relax.

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
