Room & View
• We stayed in a Sea View Deluxe Suite as a family of four (two adults and two children aged 8 and 5).
• The suite had two rooms, a spacious bathroom, and a balcony overlooking the swimming pool and the sea.
• The sunrise views were beautiful, and we could watch the sun rising over the mountains each morning.
• The room was well-equipped with two TVs, two mini fridges, plenty of cupboard space, and comfortable seating.
Food
• The food was one of the highlights of our stay.
• Every day there was a good variety of traditional Greek dishes including moussaka, souvlaki, tzatziki, Greek salad (horiatiki), spanakopita, Bougatsa, dolmades, baklava, and loukoumades as well as chicken, pork, and beef options.
• Fresh salads, cakes, sweets, and ice cream were available daily.
• A special thanks to Chef, Mr.Vaggelis Skolias for the consistently delicious meals throughout our stay.
Staff & Service
• The staff were exceptional and always greeted guests with a smile.
• Everyone we met at reception, in the restaurant, and at the pool bar was friendly, welcoming, and helpful.
Pool, Spa & Entertainment
• The swimming pool area was clean and pleasant.
• The pool bar offered cocktails, coffee, hot chocolate, juices, and other drinks.
• Snack options were limited, mainly cakes and biscuits.
• The hotel spa offered a complimentary foot treatment, which included a scrub, moisturising cream, and a short massage.
• Evening entertainment started around 8:30 pm and included music nights and a bingo-style game. It was a nice way to relax after dinner.
Location
• The hotel is close to several small shops where you can buy essentials, beach items, toys for children, slippers, snacks, souvenirs and beach umbrellas.
• A beach shuttle service is available, although we did not use it as we hired a car and spent most days exploring Halkidiki.
Things to Consider
• The hotel is built on a hillside, which gives it lovely views but may be challenging for some elderly guests or people with mobility issues.
• Access to the pool involves walking downhill, and the alternative route through the restaurant is only available during restaurant opening hours.
• We stayed on the fifth floor, and the lift was quite slow and occasionally hesitated before opening its doors.
• There were not many sunbeds around the pool, although this was not an issue during our stay in May.
Overall
• We used the hotel as a base while exploring Kriopigi and Sithonia and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
• The spacious room, beautiful sea views, excellent food, warm hospitality, and family-friendly atmosphere made for a memorable holiday.
• We would happily recommend Kriopigi Hotel to families looking for a comfortable and welcoming stay in Halkidiki.
