Xenios Possidi Paradise Hotel

The hotel itself was fine, but our trip was organized by the tour operator Travel Professional Group — and it was a nightmare. The bus departed earlier than scheduled without any prior notice, and the journey took over 40 hours, with hourly stops and two nights spent on the bus. We arrived at the hotel at 6:00 AM, meaning we lost a full paid day of accommodation. The company refused to provide any refund, even though we only asked for compensation for that one night. It’s a shame that such a nice hotel is now associated with such an incompetent tour operator. p.s. The photo was made at sunrise as we arrived. Beautiful, but sad that we have lost one day.

I came here as a family of 5 people, 2 adults and 3 children. I have never had a worse experience like this before. Let's start with the room...a musty basement room with no view but a wall in front. The pool is very small, especially for children with many prohibitions...you are not allowed to play with a ball in the pool, you are not allowed to jump and many others. Activities for children 0. Playground for children nothing. No activity whatsoever. The food is cooked only for a certain type of tradition but not Greek for sure. Food only with sauces and very heavy for summer. You simply have no choice. I don't even say dessert anymore. For children, you can take your mind off the food. They have nothing but a boiled white paste. Very bad quality. The beach is full of stones with very little sand, full of stones even in the water, dangerous for us as well as for the children. The beach is very small. You have almost nothing to do .. not even a trip, if you don't have a car you are tied hand and foot. It is the worst experience so far. I do not advise anyone. It is not a 4 star hotel, Max 2 stars. all the bad reviews are true. I tried not to take them into account when I bought this holiday and now I'm sorry and I'm very disappointed. Good : staff of the bar , and cleaning lady.

After planning this holiday and searching for a calm, small hotel, we found possidi paradise. The reviews were good.....but just before we checked the reviews again and got nervous... Did we make a good choice!?!?! Yes, we did. We arrived (after a long transfer from airport to hotel), and the receptionist was helpful and polite. We needed to search a little for our room (it was dark). Lighting could be better, especially at the stairs. The room was good and clean. The bathroom looks a little outdated but acceptable. The shower curtain......personal opinion: you don't want to see such thing in a hotel. Towels are changed daily, and the room is cleaned daily. One remark her. The water can be cold when everybody is or just had a shower. The main beds are good. Pillows is always a personal taste, and I always have to find one that suits me. The additional bed (sleeping couch), for our son, was too hard and too short. We solved that with extra blankets underneath him....the short bed he had to accept. Once settled, we slept well. The room is noisy when people are leaving the hotel during the night, but ok. What about breakfast, lunch, and diner. My wife and I completely agreed. Out of all hotels (also big 5 star hotels in Egypt and turkey), this one was the best. Choice is what you may expect from a small hotel, but it all tasted well. No long queues, enough variety. One small improvement: the fries are not OK.the have to be firm and crispy. Please have a look at this. And we missed pancakes during breakfast....it will make the children happy. The restaurant is big enough. there is no need to fight for a table. The complete hotel is clean and looks good. As said, please repair the lights at the stairs. And sometimes it smells strange in some places. The swimming pool is nice but not too big, but who needs a big pool with such a nice beach and see is just a few meters away. Every room has an umbrella and 2 sunbeds, we never sw a situation that there were no beds even we and others used more then 2. The bar is compared to the rest of less quality. The soft drinks are postmix (automate) and of a local company. By far not comparable with Coca-Cola or Sprite. The number of liquors was very limited. Here is for sure room for a lot of improvement. Staff was friendly, although I always like to see a happy face. It feels so much better if I have the feeling the staff enjoys having us as guests. A short "good morning" and smile makes everybody's day start well :) Surroundings. The hotel is situated in a calm area. 4-5 restaurant, a few bars and 2 shops. There is not much to see or to do, so bring your card games. (We knew it and brought them with us and used them every day). Renting a car and visit another beach is advised. Or take a walk to the cape. All together, if you like it calm with good food; go here. I guess best with young children. If you need someone to entertain you; look further.
