We visited this hotel in September. Just yesterday we returned from vacation tanned, rested and full of pleasant impressions. We flew to Thessaloniki on Astra airlines - all without problems and delays. We got to the hotel in 40 minutes. Upon arrival at the hotel, we were immediately handed the keys to the room (all questionnaires were already filled out and prepared). Our room was two rooms with a kitchenette. Two large balconies, a large bathroom (with a bathtub), tiles on the floor everywhere, an interior sliding door, TV, DVD. Everything is clean and tidy. The only thing is that there are not enough cabinets with shelves, well, or drawers. In general, this is not a problem. And yet, as a compliment from the hotel, fruit, sweets and a bottle of wine were waiting for us. O! Another pot for the baby was given out))))
There were no complaints about the cleaning of the room. Some were cleaned more carefully, others less. But it was always clean. Towels were changed almost daily, although we did not throw them on the floor.
The girls at the reception are all Russian-speaking, always courteous, they solved all issues instantly and efficiently. The waiters in the restaurant are responsive and attentive - unnecessary dishes on the table stagnated)) Animation in comparison with the Turkish one could not be noticed)) Everything is very unobtrusive. Personally, we were all happy with it. And the evenings of live music are simply incomparable! The eldest daughter, 4 years old, went to the mini-club with pleasure. There they sculpted something, painted, and in the evening they handed letters to the children for this. The only thing is that this playground is located inconveniently - almost under the open sun.
The territory of the hotel is small, all well-groomed. There are two pools - children's and adult. Near the adult pool bar.
The food in the restaurants is of very good quality. Everything is fresh and tasty. The children ate with pleasure. For breakfast there were always two types of cereals, freshly squeezed orange juice, a lot of pastries, omelettes (where without them))) and so on. Coffee and tea from vending machines.
But lunches and dinners had much more variety. There are always several types of meat - delicious lamb)), fish, other "sea reptiles")), etc. , etc. In general, they didn’t go hungry, rather the opposite))
The beach is small, however - there is always enough space, no matter what time you come. The entrance to the sea, as they wrote earlier, is inconvenient, through the plates, from the crevices of which sea urchins periodically appear)) Be careful. This issue is easily solved - there are two runs along the track made of bags, special shoes. There are other options - somewhere 50 meters to the left (if facing the sea) there are no plates, entry into the sea is what you need. But this is without sunbeds and umbrellas. Or you can walk to the opposite side of the peninsula - 10-15 minutes. There are also sun loungers and umbrellas (free of charge), the entrance to the sea is very convenient. And shallow there - which is convenient for children. A separate story is the descent to the beach on site.
Part of the path will have to be done on the steps, part - on a paved path, and a steep one at that. I don’t think that for adults this will be some kind of problem - and it’s useful to shake your tummy after such a meal)) A couple of ups and downs a day and you are back in shape))) But with children it’s not convenient at all, especially with strollers.
A separate topic is the sea! The most beautiful, the purest! ! ! The views all around are breathtaking! The eyes are resting
It rained for three or four days during our stay at this hotel. So in such weather there really is nowhere to go with children - sitting in a room and watching TV for days on end is not an option. All bars are packed to capacity - and this is not the best place for families with children. Well, in the so-called children's club - only a canopy on a large table, you can’t sit out either.
Tourists in this hotel are mostly from Russia, well, from neighboring countries ...
Of course, there are also unpleasant types - who are annoyed by everything and do not like everything, who behave very defiantly. But this is no longer a hotel problem...
In general, the hotel is very good. I wish you all a pleasant stay! ! !

Madly in love with Greece and everything connected with it. This time I was in Chalkidiki, Portes Palace Hotel, respectively. Beauty, deliciousness and everything. Good service. I advise you to go with children, there are no noisy or entertainment establishments nearby. A pleasant relaxing holiday on the shores of 2 bays.

We rested in July with my husband, flew out of Moscow, the ticket was for 10 days. When they took a ticket, they thought that 10 days for Greece is a lot, they will get bored. I didn’t get bored, I would gladly have visited more and rested longer. We were alone without children, but as far as I saw a large number of families resting there with children, animators work for them.

We rested in July with my husband, flew out of Moscow, the ticket was for 10 days. When they took a ticket, they thought that 10 days for Greece is a lot, they will get bored. I didn’t get bored, I would gladly have visited more and rested longer. We were alone without children, but as far as I saw a large number of families resting there with children, animators work for them. We talked with a vacationing couple, it is not the first time they come to this hotel, they said that it had undergone a major overhaul not long ago, and every year it gets better. Previously, they were not in it, so I can’t judge how it was before, well, now everything is on the level, and moreover, at a good level. We regretted that we did not take the children with us, they would have liked it. The sea is warm, the beaches are clean, though I went to the sea only once - I spent most of my time in the pool, but my husband didn’t get out of the sea, well, to each his own. I like to swim in non-salty water. On Saturdays, Russian stars come and perform while we were on Comedy. Those acquaintances with whom we met said that the Nanais came, they also performed, in any case, the animation will not let you get bored. The hotel is maybe far away from other settlements, but here is a familiar couple - they went to the nearest villages, we never got out. We were not bad at the hotel either, we were lying around - overeating, relaxing. Of course, here a lot depends on who is counting on what, the rest I was counting on when choosing this hotel - I got it in full. About air conditioners - perhaps it was an isolated case, because in our room we turned it off, due to the fact that it was cold. Or did it at the bare minimum. So everything worked. The staff is very friendly, those questions that arose with us were resolved at the same time. Surprising to read here some complaints about the staff - not fair!

After a hard working year, the only thing I could dream of was rest, in the full sense of the word. Rest from everything, just lie on the beach, and enjoy the sound of the sea…. . fairy tale. I didn’t want to go to Turkey, it’s still too banal, I wanted something new, but preferably not much more expensive.

I didn’t want to go to Turkey, it’s still too banal, I wanted something new, but preferably not much more expensive. I fit into my budget, just Portes Palace, I’ll tell you right away, when I flew I didn’t know anything about the hotel, the only thing I asked the tour operator was if there was Wi-Fi in the hotel, and they told me that there was definitely a lobby. Ok, I'll take it! And already on July 20 I was at the hotel. Now enough of the lyrics and I'll report on the fact. The hotel area is located very well, at the beginning of the Kassandra peninsula on a thin isthmus between the Aegean Sea and the Kassandra Strait, which makes it possible to swim on two beaches located 10 minutes walk from each other. There are two beautiful villages within a twenty-minute walk from the hotel, during the entire vacation I went there twice, there I met other vacationers who have been vacationing here for more than a year, they kept me company until the end of the vacation (since I went on vacation alone ). The service at the hotel is at a high level, the staff is Russian-speaking, although I know English, it was still nice that you don’t have to strain, you will be understood anyway. There are a lot of couples with kids in the hotel, I saw that animators work for them, but since I was without a child, I can’t fully evaluate the hotel from this side, but I know for sure that there is a children’s pool, and a children’s menu, I paid attention to this Attention.

We just returned from Portes Palace and I am writing about my impressions right away, while they are still fresh! The hotel is definitely worthy of praise! Let's start with the room - the room is quite spacious, a large closet, so all things are conveniently placed, everything is very clean and tidy, everything works, the safe is free.

The hotel is definitely worthy of praise! Let's start with the room - the room is quite spacious, a large closet, so all things are conveniently placed, everything is very clean and tidy, everything works, the safe is free.
The food is very varied - there was always a choice of meat, fish. Especially a large selection of fruits - watermelons, melons, peaches, grapes, apples, oranges. In the bar from 10 to 18 you can have something to eat - french fries, some meat, buns, vegetables, fruits. All local alcoholic drinks are very decent. The restaurant has long lunch time intervals, which is very convenient, so it is impossible not to have time for breakfast or lunch.
The territory of the hotel is quite large (there is where to walk and take pictures) and very well-groomed! Everything is flowering! ! There are several pools. All staff are attentive and helpful.
left a very good impression after the rest! Wouldn't mind coming here again!

Portes Palace is best suited for families with children. For them, there is EVERYTHING, from wonderful animators to ice cream around the clock. The territory of the hotel itself is huge, green, a lot of flowers, in general, we had a chic vacation. The child tanned, rested and gained health. And of course we also swam in the warm sea.

I would like to leave my feedback about my vacation in Greece, in the resort of Chalkidiki, at the Portes Palace 4 * hotel! We rested with my wife for 10 days from mid to late June.

I would like to leave my feedback about my vacation in Greece, in the resort of Chalkidiki, at the Portes Palace 4 * hotel! We rested with my wife for 10 days from mid to late June. It took about 50 minutes to drive from the airport to the hotel, we were settled immediately, although we arrived at hotel around 11 o'clock local time. We could not believe our eyes, even though the hotel is over 30 years old, but it has been perfectly renovated. Inside everything is new, designer furniture. I liked everything in the room, a large comfortable bed, a gorgeous view from the balcony. Mini-bar, safe. The room was cleaned every day. The hotel area is large, everything is green, many flowers. The beach is sandy, but the sea is pebbly. It is convenient to swim in rubber sandals, but we swam without them, our feet quickly get used to it. Ultra all inclusive meals. Breakfasts are standard but good (tea, coffee, rolls, butter, vegetables, cereals with milk, eggs). Lunch is served at the snack bar. And the dinners are incomparable - a huge buffet with at least 5 types of meat, fish, shrimp, side dishes and salads for every taste. Lots of sweets too. As for drinks, we liked the young draft wine. Animation at the hotel is at a high level, there are sports and dancing classes. On the beach diving, canoe boats, water bikes for rent. For children there is a children's day club, a playground with climbing frames and a pool in the form of Mickey Mouse. We rented a car, traveled up and down Halkidiki, nearby villages, went to Thessaloniki. Thessaloniki has excellent shopping, many shops with sales, prices are cheaper than in Russia. My wife and I decided that when we have a child, we will definitely come to rest in this hotel again. Ideal, quiet and comfortable place for
relaxing family vacation!

Hello, my wife and I stayed at the Portes Palace this year. The holiday went well. The room is great, always clean. The area is also always clean and tidy. Great pools - large and small. A plus for those who travel as a couple and just want to relax and disconnect from everything. There is no noise and a very calm environment.

The animation is good, the kids in general were all happy around the hotel, they even didn’t care about the sea, in my opinion.
Have a good rest, I would like to leave more often).

1. I’ll start with the hotel, it’s not new and it feels like the owner invested in it in 199 years....and then forgot about it, compared to the neighboring Potidea hotel, it’s also 4 * heaven and earth. Apparently Greece. crisis, there is a feeling that they are saving a lot on the hotel, although there are a lot of Germans, Serbs, Romanians, Bulgarians, Russians. Mix in one bottle. For me it was not a minus.
2. Food. There are no complaints here. I put a solid 4 plus. There was always meat, fish, fruits, apples, watermelons, peaches and melons. Lots of vegetables, delicious cheeses and cottage cheese products... There were themed evenings (Chinese and Greek) dinner is the food of these countries. In general, everything was tasty and varied. We were never hungry.
3. The sea is 5 plus, although there were hedgehogs, but somehow we skillfully bypassed them... The main thing is not to walk especially on slabs and stones.
4. Evening animation is not what. A couple of times there was a live concert for a threesome and an evening show (with the participation of the vacationers themselves). In the afternoon, gymnastics by the pool, water polo and darts and bocha at the edge of the pool. That's it !! ! YES, there is a children's disco on 20 minutes and then in German. Draw conclusions.
5. There is a shop at the hotel, it has a minimum of everything that you might need on vacation. There is a cute village of Potidea at 1 km, everything is there! At 5 km there is the village of Mudanya, cute, beautiful, delicious coffee in a cafe on the waterfront. hotel bus goes there (free of charge)
6. In general, we really liked Greece... but the hotel, again, does not pull on 4 *. Only thanks to the cooks, bartenders, waiters and ordinary Greeks, the rest will be remembered for a long time!
Have a good rest and a good tan.
