Recently returned from Greece, the Costa Navarino hotel, I would like to share my fresh impressions. the hotel consists of two: Westin and Romanos, united by one territory in the midst of luxurious nature. Moreover, even when there are many guests here - they somehow miraculously do not meet you, you get a feeling of an absolute oasis and tranquility. Since we rested at the beginning of summer, and it was not hot, there were many golfers here (there are gorgeous golf courses in the hotel). We had a family room with a living room and a large balcony. The room has everything and even more - high-quality cosmetic accessories, a coffee machine with capsules, a variety of mini-bar and all sorts of sweets for children, high-quality bed linen and just a super mattress! There is a bath, a shower and a sauna, all in the room. Downstairs are rooms with private pools.
There are a lot of restaurants on the territory of the hotel, we didn’t even go around them in a week. I especially liked the one right on the beach. Very tasty and service at the highest level. The hotel has a wide sandy beach, and since the entire surrounding area is a nature reserve, Caretta Caretta turtles swim right here and lay their eggs. The hotel also has a chic Spa center, where a wide range of different procedures and massages, prices are average. The hotel is quite diverse - families with children, business entrepreneurs, athletes, and just elderly couples get along well and find activities to their liking. There is such a pleasant atmosphere, which, combined with the surrounding nature and super service, will make your stay unforgettable. We are very happy that it was recommended to us when booking!
A ticket was ordered at the ICS tour operator, they called their contact center and then booked directly on the website online. I liked everything, fast, convenient, understandable. The managers are polite and very attentive, they tracked our reservation themselves, checked the payment, we ordered the original contract, picked it up when we brought passports for a Greek visa, then they sent all the documents by mail. The office is modern, not in the center of Moscow, but if you order tours online, you can don't come at all. We had to apply for visas, so we came. We are very satisfied with the service of travel agencies, the rating is Excellent! !

We stayed at this hotel for 2 weeks from late August to early September. We were 6 people: two children (1.5 years and 4) and four adults. Well, what can you objectively say about the hotel? Very, very average in terms of service, food and general atmosphere in the hotel. For some reason this hotel is considered "luxury".

We stayed at this hotel for 2 weeks from late August to early September. We were 6 people: two children (1.5 years and 4) and four adults. Well, what can you objectively say about the hotel? Very, very average in terms of service, food and general atmosphere in the hotel. For some reason this hotel is considered "luxury". We succumbed to the persuasion of the manager from the travel agency and advertising in Traveler magazine, booked this hotel as much as 4 months in advance and, in principle, expected something enchanting. But. . . Hotel reviews on booking. Com, which appeared about two months before the start of our holiday, is completely true. You can carefully re-read them and draw the appropriate conclusions about the hotel.
Yes, the hotel is simply fantastically beautiful in its architecture and the designers have done their best there. On this, the advantages of the hotel can be considered over. The biggest disadvantages include:
1. Expensive in restaurants (dinner for two without alcohol plus a couple of extra salads for children approx. 70 Euro),
2. constant noise in the hotel both at night and during the day (during the day there is music by the pools throughout Ivanovskaya from 11.00 to 19.00, in the evening - music from restaurants - from hours to 2 in the morning, and there are practically no rooms in the hotel that would not go to the restaurant or any swimming pool). Sometimes I felt like I was in Antalya, and not in a super-duper luxury boutique hotel, as it is presented by numerous catalogs of tour operators. I, a city person, very often want silence on vacation, well, at least in the evening, listen to the sound of the wind or the roar of the surf, since the balcony overlooks the bay. And here you are welcome to a trendy restaurant at your side, which, with its roar, blocks not only external sounds, but also your own thoughts. And I’m not even talking about the fact that children need to go to bed not at 2 am, when it becomes quiet in the area.
3. The hotel management does not care at all about their reputation, or about the opinion of their guests about their work, etc. They are, of course, somewhat right, arguing that in these paid 2 weeks you will not get anywhere from the hotel, you will live where they settle and relax as the hotel will offer you. We were settled with our parents in rooms not far from each other, as we asked. In fairness, it must be said that the parents were given a higher category number as compensation, but... We "achieved" this "compensation" for almost a week, communicating with the general manager every day. A very tedious holiday. And the short-sighted position of the leadership.
4. The most important drawback, in our opinion, is that the hotel, positioning itself as suitable for families with small children, is actually not (!!!!!! ) This was probably the biggest disappointment.
First, the lack of silence at any time of the day.
Secondly, there are stairs and steps everywhere - you can’t go everywhere with a stroller. If there is a detour in the right direction, as a rule it is not nearby, but about 50 meters from the desired point. I got tired of walking there with a stroller. As a result, her husband and father-in-law dragged her over the obstacles in their arms.
Thirdly, the sea is absolutely not suitable for kids. Yes, there is sand, but the bottom is uneven and two steps from the entrance to the sea is already up to the neck of an adult (!!!! ) and as a result of such uneven bottoms, I assume that the waves are probably always there, regardless of the season. In our period, the storm was 6 days out of 14. And the rest of the days the sea was still restless and waves. It's really hard for kids, but if the child is still with water on "you", it's better to look for another hotel.
Fourthly, there is no entertainment in the hotel in the evening for children - no children's discos, no shows (no, I'm lying, 2 times there were children's performances for 15 minutes, more like impromptu local residents)
Fifthly, I did not notice any playgrounds within walking distance of the hotel. Playgrounds only in places reserved for children, such as children's clubs. Of course, swings and slides do not fit into the overall interior of the hotel and the design concept of the hotel. As a result, in the evening, the children have nowhere to put themselves after dinner.
There are 2 clubs on the territory of the hotel: for kids at all (from a year old) and for older kids (from 4 years old). The funny thing is that the clubs are located at different ends of the hotel. It’s hard to say who came up with this, apparently, it was assumed that I, a mother of 2 children, would be perfectly normal to dangle between these clubs on a buggy during the day, like an abnormal chicken between two chicken coops. This is exactly the kind of vacation I dreamed of!
However, the water park is also made by people who are far from children. For teenagers and adults, the slides are normal, but for the kids, the slide is still the same, especially the stairs to it. It is made in a pipe where parents can not crawl in any way. The steps are not simple, but recesses in the pipe, rather slippery, I was always worried about the elder when he climbed inside there. There, even a four-year-old was hard to climb alone, and I’m generally silent about the kids.
Conclusion: the hotel is not suitable for families with small children.
And in general it is overestimated both in terms of money and positioning and according to reviews of the last year. Maybe for the Greeks this is heaven on earth, only we, Russians, are more demanding people in terms of rest.

the instructor will walk all day. The room had a private pool. Jumped once. It is not necessary to take. But you can. Nice. There are many pools on the territory, different, with bars, and in the water as well. The staff is good. Ours are loved. Just not violent. In general, who loves the Turkish night - you are not here.

There are many pools on the territory, different, with bars, and in the water as well. The staff is good. Ours are loved. Just not violent. In general, who loves the Turkish night - you are not here. There are no animators and everyday shows. Although with children, such as a children's club - they are engaged. Not bad. Buffets are special for children. Mostly not poor Europe rests, diplomats, mayors of cities meet, there is not enough cattle, mostly decent people. It can be seen that the environment is working, or the absence of free booze. Once again I say - this is not Turkey, there are no night discos, everything is decorous and noble, no one interferes with each other. Bottled water is brought to the room free of charge. I did not see mosquitoes, frogs come across. The beach, each pair of sun loungers has a staff call button. For 100 meters I pressed - they brought a bagel from the restaurant. Or, for example, fruit, ice cream. Tolerable prices. I forgot - in restaurants unlimited dried tomatoes, fresh. I love this business, because in Moscow it is rare and expensive. There are no towns nearby. But there are a lot of restaurants in the hotel and there is excellent ice cream, I don’t remember the company, we don’t have one. Tolley Mistaki Toli Miyaki - I don’t remember. But the quality is recommended. There are enough shops inside the hotel, mostly things. Airplanes only on Fridays from DMD, Greeks, Staralliance, miles are valid. The air force base, as he said, is everything in a military way, respectively. The plane stops in the middle of the field near the hangar, all along the ladder to the exit to the booth. In the booth, the grandmother puts stamps in the passports and goes on to milk, apparently, goats. The airport is closed. The guides at the hotel are good - for the guests of the mountain, they help as best they can. There are a couple of interesting excursions. The place is generally holy, like all of Greece. Pavel lived here, Peter lived here, someone else lived there. But most importantly, the Battle of Navarino took place here, until now, at the bottom of the cannon and the skeletons lie. On the tour, they say you can see. Our squadron with the Turks fought for the freedom of the Greeks. Not in vain. The whole district is in monuments, the Black Sea squadron comes every year in October, they celebrate. See the Internet In short, the week flew by easily, if 2, then you can’t do without golf. Or the holy places of the trip. And who just loves to lie on the sea, but on the Internet - just right.

real 5 stars, real vestin - what is the best hotel in turkey - 100%, before that there was a Greek hotel - were 4. Quietly calm, sometimes concerts, a good beach. sometimes it's windy, towels - everywhere without restrictions and mandatory delivery - picked up on the beach, pool, room, etc. - wiped off, put it down and went on, without any control over the type of cards, etc. Meals in the morning omelettes, eggs, cereals, cottage cheese, cheeses, sausage, meat, fish, muesli, vegetables, fruits. and so on and so forth who was in 5 stars in Europe - understands. Not to be confused with Turkish fives - they rest. Food - European quality. For dinner, a separate grill - lobsters, shrimp, or meat of 5 varieties. Plus different pans of tina lasagna, pasta, potatoes and so on and so forth. Separate fish. There are fish days (such as Thursday) squid, shrimp of several types and types, and so on and so forth. The wine is not expensive - but super (by the way, Greece is the 1st wine in the world, when camels walked in the place of Italy, and even more so France, and people ran naked, in Greece they already whipped this muck in full, and for good reason. The whole country since then, They know a lot about oil and olives, they are for gourmets. . The buffet is always different and plentiful. In the hotel rooms, as a present, there is a jar of oil (0.3) Bathrobes and the rest, like everywhere else, the beds are at the level - high-speed Internet and for nothing - even the Wi-Fi hammers at the sea. Just register. It seems like they should have taken something, but as a result they said at the reception - they owe nothing. Here's another freebie - now BMW is conducting test drives at the hotel, just signed up and took a new car for 5 hours (! ) (leather, navigation, climate, internet... ) took a 5-ku and a convertible - good! Who in fur coats - I have not seen. This is probably in Athens - 3 hours one way - this is through RentKar. The airport is located on an operating NATO air force base, they say they go to bomb Libya. Pilots full of Kalamata. There is also a flight school. You can fly for individual grannies. This is for the fans. Good golf course - 70 euros like, and with you
