The hotel is beautifully situated with excellent views across the sea to Kassandra. The dining area is attractive and traditional and overlooks the pools.The whole outside area is kept clean and tidy around a bar area.There is a child's pool and a few outdoor games areas We arrived at 1 in the morning and we had to park on the roadway and lug the cases to reception which is not accessible by car. We were taken to our room and assisted with luggage and found we could park quite close to the room the next morning.The bed was really comfortable and the room had all the amenities needed on a holiday.We also had 2 plates of sandwiches in the room for our late arrival. We were on a full board package so visited the restaurant 3 times a day.All the staff were excellent and enjoyed contact with the visitors. The only downside we found was the food quality and temperature.I know Greeks might not like food piping hot but virtually everything on the hot plates was much too cold to eat except the soups which were always at the right temperature.There were plate warmers but were not switched on .The cold breakfast items and salads at lunch and were excellent. The fruit was of poor quality , poor selection. Hard unripe plums, bruised oranges, grapes and peaches. The water melon was always good. My particular gripe was that although excellent greek yoghurt was available at every meal, honey was only available at breakfast.You need honey with greek yoghurt at all times.I would have liked to have seen more speciality greek dishes , we only had moussaka once. All in all , a great place to stay and would have got 5star if there was more attention to food quality and presentation. A missed opportunity!

Just returned from a week staying at the Acrotel Athena Pallas (Armonia) . This is the first time staying in a hotel environment as normally stay in a self catering villa; so was concerned with several things like feeling overwhelmed with people, how I’d cope with the food etc but I have to say I found it all perfect! The resort is beautifully designed and feels very intimate; I was very happy with our room, especially the fab air conditioning and loved the allocated sunbeds in full sun. I noted a previous criticism on a previous review relating to their beds in the shade; all it would take is a flag to put on parasol to say “free to use” for those in the sun whose “owners” are perhaps out for day or down on the beach so that those in shade know they can use etc? The staff were all very welcoming and friendly. All in all it was very relaxing break, even more so that I did not have to lift a finger with any cooking or cleaning! Beautiful sunsets and lovely sunrise swims in the warm sea. Enjoyed the hike into the hills of which you can obtain maps and info via reception. Loved the various swings and photo opportunity areas. Enjoyed the food; especially the desserts and happy to report just a 4lb weight gain! Please inform Fani of this lol! If I had just one criticism if would be that the packed lunch did not mirror the standard of food had at breakfast, lunch and dinner and personally had I been given a box/wrapping I would have preferred to create my own lunch from breakfast! I had white bread in my packed lunch (no choice) and I don’t eat this; the sandwich was not cut etc and no choice given. Also, it may be worth considering one free access pass to spa facilities per visit as this may then open up more people booking again /using services and treatments? Just a suggestion? Thank you all for a wonderful break!
