Ruhig gelegen, nahe an Athen, traumhafter Ausblick aufs Meer
Pros:

Die Aussicht aufs Meer mit Balkon war atemberaubend schön! Die Kaffeemaschine und jeden Tag neue Wasserflaschen habe ich als sehr geschätzt. Der Manager hat mich persönlich angerufen, um mit mir zu sprechen, da ich mich beim einchecken beschwert hatte. An dieser Stelle ein herzliches Dankeschön für diese Dienstleistung und Aufmerksamkeit!

Cons:

Die Fenster und Nachttischablagen waren nicht sauber. Und um an Informationen rund um Spa und Hotel zu erhalten, musste man ein QR Code scannen, der bei mir nicht funktioniert hat. ( womit ich per Telefon die Speisekarte vorgelesen bekam) Und bei der Spa Reception hatte ich das Handy nicht dabei. In solchen Situationen sehne ich mich nach den alten Zeiten in 5 Sterne Hotels, wo es eine Mappe mit allen Informationen, schön dokumentiert, gab. Das Wasser im Swimmingpool war zu kalt ( April), um schwimmen zu können.

Great gym, but "Palace" is an overstatement
Pros:

Divani Apollon Palace & Thalasso is a mixed bag. While the name suggests royalty, calling it a "palace" feels like an overstatement. The rooms are quite dated and weren't what I expected from a high-end hotel; they definitely need a modern refresh. Additionally, the location is very far from Athens, so be prepared for a commute if you plan on sightseeing in the city.
On the positive side, the breakfast was fairly good with a nice variety. The true standout, however, is the gym. It is absolutely amazing for a hotel and easily the highlight of the stay. It’s a decent choice if you prioritize fitness and a quiet retreat, but don't expect a modern palace.

Pros:

Rooms fairly large. All have partial or full sea view. Individual aircon or heat. Hallways and most of the rooms have been renovated although one can see that the spared some cost in not renovating the doors to the rooms and the bathrooms.

Cons:

The area right in front is not the nicest beach area. The Thalasso pool is not free for hotel guests and the charges are not advertised.

Beautiful Views and Friendly Staff, but Below 5-Star Expectations”
Pros:

We stayed for 6 nights in a family suite facing the beach during the second week of April, and while the setting was beautiful, the overall experience was mixed.
✅ What I liked
The staff were consistently polite, welcoming, and helpful, which made a very positive impression. The hotel design is elegant and aesthetically pleasing, creating a refined atmosphere.
The spa services were enjoyable and professionally delivered. The beach view from our suite was a highlight, offering a relaxing and scenic experience.

Cons:

Unfortunately, several issues significantly affected our stay:
The shower door was old and difficult to open, and the water temperature fluctuated suddenly from warm to very hot during use.
Reception sent a maintenance technician who checked the issue and said a plumber would come the next day. However, no one came. We followed up again with reception and maintenance, re-explained the issue, yet it remained unresolved for the entire 6-night stay, which is disappointing for a hotel of this category.
The soundproofing in the family suite is very poor. The balcony door and room walls do not block noise, and we could clearly hear neighbors walking in their room. At night, noise from the street, beach, and nearby restaurant was very noticeable and disruptive.
The gym opening hours (10:00–19:00 on weekdays) are limited and not convenient for guests who prefer early or late workouts.
The main pool shown on the website belongs to the spa, meaning access requires additional payment. It is also shallow and more suitable for therapy than for swimming.
The indoor pool is small and located in a confined space near the steam room, which limits the experience.
Although there is underground access to the beach, the beach itself is small, not clean, and not private. It is accessible from nearby restaurants and surrounding areas, which reduces comfort and exclusivity—especially disappointing during the few sunny days we had.
