the concept was really nice

ambiance and rooms

We stayed 3 nights and I can write anything that we liked.

We stayed at pine suites with a private pool. Room number 207. First shock was the private pool. It isn’t a pool it is a 1.5m to 1.5m cubic hole that you can only sit inside. The pictures of the hotel and rooms are very misleading. The room was at the basement level. Surrounded by the trees and there were walls therefore the room was extremely dark. You need to open the lights during the day time. 8 rooms are adjacent so if you need privacy please be aware there is none. First day, Because our room wasn’t ready when we arrived, we spent some time at the pool with my 6 year old son. The lady at the pool bar was more like an upset person that wants everyone to behave like a robot and if you don’t she comes and gives you an angry look and gives you her orders to makes sure you behave yourself even though you do. Than when we’ve been felt uncomfortable enough, we went to beach restaurant and ordered just plain pasta for my son. It came after 45 minutes. At our 3th day night we ordered food and it didn’t came at all. And at breakfast you need to wait 20 mins for omlette standing at the counter. Than we realized that there are very few sunbeds at the beach and all of them were taken. (This is a hotel that you need to wake up early to put your towel at the sunbeds, we have been told that everybody does like that) There was a very bad smell at the beach it is like a vomit and we found out it is coming from the sand and sea itself. The water was very shallow and blurred. So if you want to experience the crystal clear turquoise water of halkidiki you need to know that you can not have it at this hotel. The majority of the staff are very unhappy and rude, it almost like they try make sure you spend your holiday as unhappy as they feel. If you are determined yourself that you can spend your holiday perfectly no matter how bad things around you, you can give it a try to stay at this hotel. Also one note to the kids club.
