“Fantastic Resort!”

We spent a wonderful 9 days here in May, and it was probably the best three-generation holiday our family has ever had. We're already talking about coming back.

We spent a wonderful 9 days here in May, and it was probably the best three-generation holiday our family has ever had. We're already talking about coming back. We were travelling as a three-generation family, with children aged 8, 12 and 15, and the hotel suited all of us perfectly. One of the things we appreciated the most was the peaceful atmosphere. The hotel never felt overcrowded, yet there were enough guests to create a lovely, relaxed holiday vibe. It struck the perfect balance. The staff were genuinely warm, welcoming and incredibly service-minded throughout our stay. Everyone seemed to take pride in making guests feel comfortable, and it made a real difference. The food was outstanding. Even on the evenings with buffet service, the quality was excellent, with plenty of variety and beautifully prepared dishes. The breakfast deserves a special mention – absolutely fantastic! We especially appreciated the little details like matcha lattes and almond milk, which made it feel a step above the usual hotel breakfast. The hotel itself is beautifully designed, with a calm and elegant atmosphere. We stayed in one of the large rooms, which was spacious, comfortable and beautifully furnished. The nearby Karydi Beach is simply breathtaking. Just a short walk from the hotel, its crystal-clear turquoise water, white sand and beautiful scenery reminded us of the Seychelles. The hotel's own beach is also very nice. We had read some reviews mentioning that the sand close to the shoreline can be a little muddy, and that's true in places, but it honestly wasn't an issue for us. We simply used the pier to enter the water, which was easy and enjoyable. Before arriving, we were slightly concerned after reading reviews mentioning lots of noisy toddlers. Thankfully, that was not our experience at all. Yes, there were a few families with young children, but they were never disruptive, and the overall atmosphere remained peaceful and relaxing. If you're looking for a beautiful hotel with exceptional service, delicious food, stunning surroundings and a calm atmosphere that works wonderfully for families of different generations, we couldn't recommend this place more highly. We truly hope to return.

“Beautiful resort with friendly and helpful staff”

This is an amazingly beautiful resort. All the staff were friendly and helpful and the food was excellent. There were a good mix of ages, with a number of couples with babies and toddlers, as an older couple this didn’t bother us in the slightest. There was a beautiful beach with shallow calm water… more

There was a beautiful beach with shallow calm water and boats were available to hire.

A nice hotel in Vourvourou Bay (on the second peninsula of Halkidiki). I visited for a short four-day break. It is essentially a small resort set in lovely gardens; in addition to the guest rooms, it features several restaurants and a private beach. The water at the beach is very shallow, which attracts many families with children to the complex. I had booked a two-room apartment, but it turned out to be a large room divided in the middle by a sliding door (a junior suite).The room itself was quite basic, but it featured a very large terrace (with plenty of mosquitoes in the evening) and a spacious, comfortable bathroom. The bed was comfortable, too. The staff were very polite and responsive to any requests. I would especially like to highlight the excellent Bubo restaurant, which served superb Greek dishes. The cleanliness was impeccable.. There were always available spots on the beach, though the water was shallow. A five-minute walk outside the resort led to another beach with free access. There isn't much to do outside the resort itself, and getting to the nearby village in the evening requires walking about 300 meters along an unlit road used by cars. Overall, I liked the resort, but I don't think the price I paid was justified.

A beautifully designed hotel with so much thought having gone into very detail. The team were all very helpful accommodating and friendly which made our short stay memorable. Every part of the hotel design is beautiful beach, bars,restaurants bedrooms and the gardens. The sandy beach was very clean , has comfy sun beds and the water is very shallow very suitable for children . Not the best sea to swim in and not crystal blue like many other beaches in Sithonia but those are easily accessible with a short car drive if required. We would love to give this hotel 5 bubbles but sadly we can’t as it needs improving in a few small areas. Buffet breakfast was not of the standard we expected and was underwhelming. Whilst bubu restaurant for dinner was excellent breakfast presentation and quality was not where it needs to be. The gardens whilst beautiful require more maintenance and whilst it is an eco hotel the gardens require more frequent care and attention. Whilst the bar area is truly beautiful some more frequent updating is required of the sofa fabrics where some looked rather worn and stained. Similarly our bedroom 605. Nice, spacious needed a bit more TLC painting , sofa fabric too worn out. These are small items that can easily be rectified and then This hotel would be 5 bubbles exceptional ! We will return despite these niggles and hopefully our comments are considered constructive feedback for the owners.
