2nd year visiting this place , feels like home from home , the staff are always so friendly and accommodating. The restaurant staff especially Aristidedis and Ioanna are a credit to the hotel and always make our stay that little bit more special. The rooms are always clean and functional and the pool activities such as Aqua Zumba & Aqua Gym are excellent fun. The location of this hotel is great only a short work to the beech, shops and bars. My friends and I will definitely be returning.

“Lovely stay at the Philoxenia”

I stayed at the Philoxenia with my husband and 2 children aged 2 and 7. We were upgraded to the D block on the lower floor so had access to the beautiful second pool. I would definitely recommend these rooms if you are able to. The room was lovely although lacked storage when travelling with two children so if you can take packing cubes or a hanging travel storage this would be useful. They provided a rail for the bunk bed and the rooms were cleaned to a good standard every day. The food was lovely with lots of variety and different salads every day. Lots of Greek traditional dishes too. There was a wide variety of cooked breakfast items, pastries, cheeses and continental items as well as fresh fruit. You could also have freshly made omelettes and pancakes. We were on a half board basis and didn’t really order drinks or other food. However the Oreo and Bueno pancakes were amazing. We shared between 4 of us! The male lifeguard was really friendly and very encouraging. However the female lifeguard really shouldn’t be doing that job. She was rude and spent most of the time talking on her phone. It was lovely to have some photographs taken on one of the nights which were able to purchase at breakfast the next day. An absolute highlight for all of us was Sandiago the animator. We loved aqua Zumba, aqua gym, Pilates, yoga, stretching, table tennis, darts and the mini disco. He was amazing with the kids and really made it lovely for them both. We loved walking down to the beach. Sorelle’s ice cream was brilliant and the pizza restaurant and Mr Greek were both great for lunch.

“Winter sun and rest”

We have just returned form staying at this hotel, I would rate the hotel as a 3* not a 4*, the food overall was acceptable, plenty of choice if you like a buffet, the Kukanuri restaurant which you have to pay an extra 30E per person on top of your half board is not worth the money, the food was gen… lisää

We have just returned form staying at this hotel, I would rate the hotel as a 3* not a 4*, the food overall was acceptable, plenty of choice if you like a buffet, the Kukanuri restaurant which you have to pay an extra 30E per person on top of your half board is not worth the money, the food was generally cold and not very tasty at all. The rooms were ok, we had what was classed as a Garden View room, which over looked an unfinished building, although you could see the sea between it. very small and not enough storage or hangers. the area was extremely quiet with only 2 Tavernas open, appreciate it was coming to the end of the season. the beach was ok and the sea was so clear. we had a fab pizza in Alymeras and had lots of salads and wine there lovely little place. overall the holiday did what we wanted which was to relax, and get some sun. I would not return tho.

Just back from a 10 night stay with my adult daughter . There was nothing dreadful about this hotel, but I have returned home feeling slightly flat and underwhelmed. It’s a nice enough hotel in an ok setting … the rooms are based around the hotel grounds in separate blocks . We were in E block and the room was very small with a small bathroom and tiny shower cubicle . There was not adequate storage space for 2 people and the decor a bit tired to say the least . We had a tv mounted on the wall which was crooked with the wires hanging down. No attention to detail . We stayed all inclusive and soon got used to the waiter service for all drinks - from around the pool , mealtimes and in the evening. We sometimes had to wait a long time to be served - up to 20 minutes and a couple of mealtimes went without drinks due to not being asked by the waiter. I think the hotel should review this and possibly introduce service at the bar . The food was ok … nothing spectacular, but we ate well. We both felt lunch was the poorest offering .. little choice and mainly appeared to be leftovers . Having said the above , all the staff are friendly and hardworking and there is a nice atmosphere. We liked the beach and spent a few days there . You can have a sun lounger all day for the price of a couple of drinks at one of the little restaurants. The sea was calm and the beach sandy . There is not much else to do in the area . We did go to Thessaloniki one day which has a lot of things to see and do . About an hour and 150€ in a taxi. Not one of my most memorable holidays - but a nice break .
