I decided to write a review because I miss you and soon I won’t be able to write about the shortcomings that need to be mentioned : ) The location of the hotel is in the description, there is no point in repeating it, it has not changed. To the beach, indeed, about seven minutes, across the street. Not stressful, but, for example, there was no desire to go out for a swim before breakfast, still far away. Then, having collected everything that may be needed for two hours, yes. Sometimes, in the heat, you go back and forth in the morning, the second time after dinner it’s already lazy to stomp there again. Not the first coastal. The beach is good - long, wide. Not white fine sand, as some wrote, rather very fine pebbles or coarse sand, but really white. Dirty. In other countries, even municipal beaches are cleaner. But it's on the beach. This does not concern the sea, it is beautiful! Very clean, turquoise, transparent and warm. The entrance is convenient - and safe for children, and adults have a place to swim. There are different water activities for a fee, of course. As for the hotel. . . A complex of three hotels of different levels with a common infrastructure. Macedonian San has the lowest star rating, but judging by the reviews of my new acquaintances who lived in Pollini and Athos, he is much more soulful. The advantages of those hotels are only a closer location to the sea and plasma TVs. : ) Everything is simpler in ours, the ascetic style of the Greek village. The food, as far as I understand, is the same. By the way, very tasty. And European cuisine, and Greek. Meat, fish, chicken always 2-3 types, vegetables, salads, Greek puff pastries with fillings, baked peppers, dolma, moussaka, side dishes and different sauces. For breakfast, delicious Greek yogurt, various jams, honey, chocolate mousse, fruits for it. Decent coffee. For lunch and dinner - local wine. Judging by previous reviews, a lot has changed for the better: the staff at the restaurant smiles kindly, everything is clean, the food is hot and tasty, they always bring what ends, even 10 minutes before the end of the meal. The territory is very cozy, well-groomed. Rooms are clean, towels changed every day. Bed linen, it seems, never : )) But everything was clean! Now some complaints. . As I wrote, the rooms are simple but cute. But there are rooms in the basement. Since the terrain is hilly, the buildings are 2-storey from the side of the garden, and 3-storey from the back side. . . That is, in the basement there is only an entrance, but on the other side of this floor there is simply no! He's underground! And I got this one! Guys, I felt like I was buried alive in this room. And so to spend a vacation? Tears filled my eyes and I went to change it. At the reception, a nice woman Vicki, without enthusiasm of course, and with discontent in all languages ​ ​ ​ ​ available to her, but she changed my number. Thank you very much for your understanding, but I really would have spent the night in the garden under a rose bush. Moreover, I paid for a double room with single occupancy, that is, the same money as for a good one, and I will eat in one. I understand that since there are such rooms in the hotel, they must be filled. But no one wants to live in such. So make them noticeably cheaper and someone may consciously choose one in order to save money! It will be fair. Another surprise for me was the fact that there are no lunch packages for those who leave for long excursions. This is the service you expect, it's everywhere. It is clear that nothing good is usually put into it. But people have already paid for your "all inclusive" and will not eat all day. Well, give them fruit and a bottle of water. The hotel is not expensive, but the impression is different. And yet, even in the most non-chain and small hotels, when checking in, the guest is offered a map of the area, where all the sights are carefully noted. Again - the service and image of the hotel. I do not swear at all, do not think! : ) I just felt comfortable with you and I want it to become even better. In conclusion, I want to note that I really liked the excursions to Meteora and the cruise to Athos. And the fact that the hotel guide Roman did not impose anything, but was always available for communication and competent. And one more thing, that when I returned to the hotel, the receptionist gave me the key to the room without a mistake, even before I called the room number. I don't know how you did it with so many guests, but it was very nice : ) Thank you for your hospitality. I will definitely come again.
