Find the Cheap Polis Hotels

We have just returned from the Souli Beach Hotel which is situated right on a very, very stoney beach, impossible to walk comfortably on, or go in the sea without beach shoes. The hotel is also situated right next to a very busy main road, so having a room overlooking the front of the hotel, bring ear plugs as morning rush hour traffic extremely noisy. Sea view rooms at the back of the hotel are very nice, but do not get any sun at anytime of the day. Rooms are very dated needing repair and update, someone said it's the same decor and bathroom tiles from when the hotel opened in 1960. We had a 3rd bed in our room which made moving around a tight squeeze. But on the up side the shower is good. The tv in the room only has 1 channel in English and programmes are hit and miss, no news channel, everything in Greek. There is nowhere on the balcony to dry towels, swim suites and the like, an air dryer would be nice to have. Rooms on pool side due to lack of sun find drying anything takes a while. We were disappointed that there was no lounge area with comfortable chairs and sofas where it would have been nice to sit and have a drink, there is a table, a two seater setter and a few plastic chairs, in fact a lot of plastic chairs everywhere. The pool is clean, plenty of sun lounger by the pool and on the lawns. The lawn area and gardens are lovely but A bit of landscaping wouldn't go amiss. Path ways on to the lawn would be nice as there are areas where the grass is very boggy, I lost my flip flop, and for an older person unsteady on their pins as the ground is uneven. Beware of the sprinklers that turn on between 3pm and 4pm. We ate twice in the resteraunt and that was enough. There are 2 wonderful resteraunt one next door The Peryiali Beach, the other a little further down Yialos resteraunt their food was excellent and Souli could take a lesson or two from them. Breakfast was plentiful but same old same old, a change would be nice. Can not fault the staff and service, very polite and helpful Just one word about the ladies and man who cleaned our room FANTASTIC. Souli Beach is suited more for adults, not much for children, not a child insight while we were there, the average age is 50 plus. Souli Beach with a little imagination, effort and of course money could be a really fantastic small family run hotel, with style and comfort, but it appears to rely on repeat clients and coach tours for lunches, and we feel it's getting a bit complacent about its upkeep, and appearance. We talked with other guests who also felt the same as we did. So as a first timer here, unfortunately we will not be returning unless a lot of improvements are made.

The room was a very nice clean 1 bedroom suite. We included breakfast and dinner with our booking. The food was good family fare served in a buffet style. The highlight of the stay was the staff!! Every person we dealt with there was helpful and courteous. If we had a problem or a question we defintely got the feeling that they wanted to make sure they did whatever they could to satisfy us.

We had a wonderful week at this hotel with our 10 year old. Absolutely gorgeous property immaculately kept, helped of course by gorgeous weather. The highlights The beach - really was fabulous and ended up spending each day on a cabana dipping in & out of the clear blue water. Initially had no issues getting a cabana but towards the end a number of British & Russian guests were taking cabanas before breakfast and then not showing up until later than 10:30. Beach service was very good too. Kohili Restaurant - in terms of a location you cannot beat this looking down onto the beach and just a magnificent sunset. The live music was fantastic. All the wait staff were fantastic as too was the hostess. We were on half board and actually ended up eating here most nights because of the ambiance. Room - high ceilings, very clean great views. Can’t fault. Room for improvement Main swimming pool - while it looked gorgeous it wasn’t heated, I believe because they really want it to remain looking pristine without kids playing in it. Was a real shame it’s not heated. Restaurants - the 3 you have to choose from are fine but not to the level we have expected and was all a little lack in flavour. Kids camp - really for younger kids
