Review:
Rested with his wife and 4-year-old son in the period from 14.09. 08. to 28.09. 08.
Program 5 * ultra all inclusive, met KALAMAKI.
We went, relying on the website of the hotel itself and one flattering review on the Internet (it would be better if it wasn’t), after returning I found the same review on another site, it turns out that people went for the first time in their lives to rest abroad.
The first impression of the hotel can be said to be positive, since it was purely visual, a large hotel on the mountain stood out from the general landscape, so to speak, 5 stars were seen, the vacation promised to take shape.
They could not get a ride to the hotel on the transfer bus, explaining that the road was narrow and the bus would not pass. They unloaded us and our belongings, threw our belongings into a minibus, and accordingly we set off to collect our luggage on foot. I had to walk up the hill for 100 meters.
Large hall, new furniture, bar, reception - everything is quite decent and inviting. We went to the check-in desk (there were 15 of us in total), filled out questionnaires, after which we were told to check in after 14:00, and since we arrived at the hotel at 10:00 on a night flight, it was not very joyful. Went for breakfast, nothing special like everywhere else.
We ate and happily moved to explore the territory ..... Shock - this is our way! She is not! Territory of 500 m2 at the hotel 5*!!!! ! Where is the playground? Where is the pool? Oh yes, I see, a pitiful likeness is seen below, in life it looks much different than in advertising photographs ....Hmmm, got it. We went down the stairs and lo and behold, there was a playground with a synthetic turf that way 20 m2. Honestly, we were upset, we have to hang out here for 14 days. The pool bar is shabby, there are heaps of uncleaned dishes on the tables. Soon I added a bunch more at my table.
Miraculously, the wife punched the number 4114. The first positive in the hotel. High, wide, good.
Two rooms, large balcony, nice bathroom. Indeed, the room cheered us up a little, especially after we found out which rooms the others were placed in. By the way, there were no porters, I had to look for a room and drag things myself, it seems not difficult, but incomprehensible.
This was the first impression, and as you know, the first is the main thing and almost always true.
Now about everything point by point.
Food:
Breakfasts are monotonous and not tasty, fruits according to the principle whoever had time, he ate, they bring something, but not always. Fresh orange juice relied on breakfast, it is not clear why only for breakfast, but even he was not always present, my question about the absence of it was answered simply, - No oranges. Went for breakfast only for the sake of the child.
Lunches were also not the achievements of culinary skills, and in addition to the monotony, a couple of times we met fish in sauce, which yesterday was without it at dinner, that is, they simply work without waste.
Dinners, like everything else, at first introduced a variety of gyros, fried goat meat and fish, but not for long.
We have something to compare with, even with the same Greece, but Fr. Rhodes, heaven and earth, here the chefs seem to be after a culinary college, they just know how to cook 10 dishes, yes, they can be of high quality, but work in 3 *, no complaints or questions.
A la carte dinners, of which there were 3 (Greek, Chinese, Italian). It was ok, just ok.
Well, since we are talking about the restaurant, then a few words about the staff. He is sorely lacking, almost all trainees are from Romania, Bulgaria, Belarus. Some are dressed differently, stick to black and white clothes, but not all. It seems like they are trying, but the incentive of 400-500 euros in salary is not enough. There was one smart guy Marian, he did everything with a sense of sense.
Snacks throughout the day and late dinners as such were absent, there were four metal boxes in the lower bar, which contained muffins, dry pancakes, sometimes fruit.
Made pizza a couple of times. Terrible, I've never seen anything like it.
Food grade 3+
Bars:
The pool bar is mediocre, then one is missing, then another. It should open at 10:00, often opened closer to 11:00, on days when it was cloudy, it didn’t work at all, you had to go upstairs to the main bar to get a drink, and it’s not a fact that the top one was open.
The main bar, the first days were not bad, they prepared cocktails in a shaker, brought orders to the tables, but this was in the early days, then everything changed dramatically. The bar was open until 24:00 for free, until 2 am paid. On what third day we approach the bar at about 23-50 and order alcohol to sit, I ask for whiskey, just a glass, the answer is: - one drink, one person! With the help of raised tones, the issue was resolved in our favor, the next day there was a conversation with the manager, after which they poured as much as needed.
In the future, there was only self-service, besides, the barmaid repeatedly insisted that we ourselves bring glasses and glasses if we take them with us to the room. By the way, they were not cleaned from the rooms for 3-4 days.
True, in the end, friendly relations were established with the barmaids.
Bars score 3.
Territory:
She just doesn't exist.
Grade 2.
Entertainment:
There was only one sauna, the sauna in which the light was not on. Where they have Turkish we never found.
Billiards did not work for about 10 days.
And in principle, that's all the entertainment.
There was no animation for 14 days, except that a crazy clown came for the children, who gathered 3-5 children in the hall near the main bar.
Water sports? What is it??????
Entertainment rating 1.
Number:
We were incredibly lucky with the room, if we were given a room on the first or second floor, and even with a wonderful view of the neighboring fence, and even next to the buzzing central air conditioner day and night, then, to tell the truth, I don’t know what they would have done.
Because they don’t take money, they just say there are no numbers. They also had such a trick, to settle for a couple of days in Galini 3 *, people who returned from there said that they had not seen anything worse. This is probably why our hotel is 5 *.
Housekeeping was daily, but often closer to 4pm. There were plenty of towels, but there were problems with the shower gel, I had to figure out how the three of us could take a shower using 20 ml of gel? Although at first, tips were left.
Number score 5.
Sea and beach:
The descent to the sea, and it was exactly the descent, took about 10-15 minutes from our room, first on the elevators, then down the hill 200 meters down, cross the road and finish 100 meters, here it is the beach! Dirty sand, where cigarette butts have not been collected for at least a season, where you can stumble upon fragments from broken bottles, napkins, sticks, etc. It is clear that these are all tourists, but the beach is yours. A beach like this is yet to be found.
The sea is good, warm, sandy bottom, long shallow.
Sea and beach score 4-. (only overseas)
Receiving party:
Quite passive participation in settling any issues with the hotel administration.
Grade 4-.
General impression:
The hotel is promoted as 5 *, in fact, with an interference you can give 4 *. A huge number of minuses for which there are not enough pluses, except that a minus by a minus gives a plus. Poorly trained staff, probably, the point is that the management does not want to spend money, thinking that vacationers are grabbing everything.
If I read about such shortcomings (and this is not all, much is missed), then 100% of the choice would fall on another hotel.
