I rested at the Kriopigi Beach 4 * 2 weeks, in general, a very decent and decent hotel. All interiors are new, clean and tidy. The area is small but well maintained. The beach is quite far from the hotel but the train goes there. In 2018, the native beach of the town of Kriopigi was very dirty, so every hour a bus ran from the hotel to another beach in the direction of Polychrono. When we checked in, they did not forget to take a tourist tax from us. But fortunately, the fee was taken as for a two-star hotel, that is, 50 euro cents per day and not 3 euros as for 4 stars. Very nice savings
The food is decent and quite varied: salads for breakfast, two types of omelets, scrambled eggs, 4 types of yogurt. There are also muesli, croissants, Nutella chocolate paste. Coffee is poured by the waiters, sometimes you have to wait a long time for them to pour coffee, they never offered coffee supplements.
We did not take lunches, because in the heat we do not really want to eat. We bought watermelons in the store, the price was ~22 rubles/kg. Dinner was usually very plentiful: 5-6 salads, 4-5 types of side dishes, meat, pasta, soup, often seafood such as mussels or squid. 5-6 types of desserts, watermelons and melons. Melons, I must say, as a rule, were not ripe, plums and apricots too. Everything else is top class. The chef himself goes out to the guests every dinner to find out if they like everything. Sometimes it was salty or overcooked, but apparently because drinks were ordered more actively.

There are queues at the entrance to the dining room if there are a lot of people inside. And there is usually a lot of it, especially if the weather is bad and it makes no sense to sit at the pool bar. Well, vacationers eat for a very long time - until you try everything, at least an hour passes.
Drinks are free only for those who bought "All Inclusive". For everyone else, even water for money. Here the waiters will not bypass you with their attention and 2-3 times for dinner they will offer something to eat. Price level: a cup of tea 3 euros. So we didn't order anything from them. We bought water in stores, just this year, not far from the Kriopigi hotel, an Ellnvika store was opened, in which 6 bottles of one and a half liters could be bought for 1 euro. Very nice price.
For children there is animation on the playground from 11:00-13:30 and from 17:00-19:00. Then there is a mini disco by the pool from 20:00 to 21:00.
We lived in the main building in room 502. This is a superior room, quite large, but without a balcony, the only one on the 5th floor. At our request, on the common balcony of our floor, we were given a table, chairs, a dryer, which we used. In general, there are no complaints about the room - everything is new and clean, it works well. Air conditioning, TV, blinds on the windows are present. The room is cleaned every day and very carefully. Shampoo, soap, razors are provided upon request. There is no kettle or cups in the room, but we had a kettle and cups with us so we could drink tea. The light in the room was a little straining - a few small lamps by the mirror and above the bed, and that's it! The minus of the room was one - the window overlooked the passage through which vacationers went to their rooms, and often looked into our window, apparently to find out how we were doing. Therefore, if the light was turned on in the room, it was immediately necessary to curtain the window. And yes, we had a safe in the room. Is it paid or not, I don’t know, we didn’t use it, it is! The rooms of the main building have WiFi right in the rooms. Judging by the fact that people were constantly hanging out in the lobby, not all rooms there have WiFi. If that password is kriopigi2018.

I would like to note separately the hotel guide Cyril from Mouzenidis. Last year there was a girl, and Kirill appeared only this year. This is the rare case when the guide really helps tourists and becomes their friend. Cyril has many advantages: firstly, he is almost always at the hotel, you constantly meet him there and there is an opportunity to discuss something with him. Secondly, he really defends the interests of tourists in front of the hotel and the tour. operator. Thirdly, he really helps with advice on where to see, buy and eat. So respect to Cyril!
