פעם שניה שלנו ובוודאות תהיה שלישית אין עוד מלון כזה
Pros:

הכל. גן עדן מושלם של פינוק, סטייל, מנוחה אמיתית לגוף ולנפש. שירות מאיר פנים ומצוין בצורה חריגה. כל הריזורט נקי ברמת מצוחצח. מסעדת אדסטה מושלמת מעל כל היתר וגם שם שירות נהדר.

Cons:

שהיו ילדים, חבל שזה לא למבוגרים בלבד זה יותר מתאים.

Pros:

We had such a wonderful stay and would happily come back!
The entire staff was incredibly kind, welcoming, and genuinely friendly. Everyone made us feel at home from the moment we arrived.
The beach is absolutely beautiful. You can relax on the sandy area or use the steps built into the sea wall to get straight into the crystal-clear water. The sea was amazingly clean and perfect for swimming.
The food was delicious throughout our stay, and breakfast was one of the highlights. There was so much variety, and everything was fresh and tasty. I have to mention the spinach smoothie,I normally don’t like spinach at all, but somehow your chef worked magic because I ended up loving it! I never thought I’d say this, but I was actually looking forward to a spinach smoothie every morning😊
Thank you for making our vacation so special. We left with wonderful memories and hope to visit again soon!

Hazy lazy days by the water and in the stunning pool, fuelled by delicious authentic food
Pros:

Beautiful location on the water with delicious food that is both restaurant level and authentic Greek at the same time

Cons:

Nothing about the hotel - just Agios Nikolaos itself is lacking in a little charm

Pros:

We absolutely loved this hotel from the moment we arrived until the day we checked out.

First of all, we would like to sincerely thank the entire hotel team for helping organize a wonderful birthday surprise for my husband. Your kindness, attention to detail, and excellent service made his special day truly unforgettable.

The hotel’s interior is beautiful, elegant, and very cozy. Throughout our stay, we truly felt at home. We would have preferred a slightly larger room, but it did not affect the quality of our stay. The room was fresh-smelling, spotless, and exceptionally clean.

The breakfast was delicious. Although the selection was not very large, every morning I found something new and tasty to enjoy. Dinner was excellent as well, with the option of choosing either the buffet or the à la carte menu.

Every evening, there was live music in the bar next to the reception, creating a wonderful atmosphere. The cocktails were especially delicious and definitely worth trying.

Every member of the staff was incredibly friendly, professional, helpful, and always greeted us with a warm smile. Their genuine hospitality made our stay even more enjoyable.

We highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing, comfortable, and memorable stay. We will definitely be back!

The only thing that was not exceptional was the food. It was a mix of decent and not great. We had 1 very good meal and several average ones. Breakfast is very good
