Messonghi Beach Holiday Resort

Hotel had lots of amenities, stunning beaches both sandy and pebbles. The water was clear with good visibility as full of life, great to snorkel. There was a range of water sports on offer. We stayed in Garden bungalow which was nice, it was survived with r own balcony and garden area. Having two bedrooms was great for the kids, well maintained. The hotel was deceptively large, five pools, water slides and multiple kiddie pools. There was an arcade area which we only found halfway through. This was good entertainment as we played family pool, air hockey, basketball etc. The hotel also has tennis, boules, basketball and actually a good gym which can be hard to find in a hotel. The outdoor area of the gym was particularly good with a a jig, and sled. The hotel had a full itinerary of fitness classes, children’s activities and put on an evening show most nights in an ami theatre. The hotel also has a night club which we didn’t try. But, the biggest thing for us as a family was the hotel looked after us. My family has multiple food allergies and they were able to cater for us. I found the staff would look really look after us, there was usually multiple dishes that my children cold eat, but the chefs would often make bespoke meals as well. One member of staff that stood out was Panagiotis Vlachos. He would take care of us like a father figure and would make sure we were ok at meal times and speak to the kitchen etc. Great customer service. The food overall was excellent, lots and lots of variety. Best dishes as you would expect were Greek and was very flavourful and tender. I found good customer service this replicated across the hotel and thought the staff work really hard. The negative parts are, there are ques for everything. Beach bars would often have ques which would put me off from ordering, cocktails were basic, ques would even form at meal times for certain dishes. Other holiday makers drove us nuts with obsession to put down towels on Sun loungers to pre book. You could struggle to find them in the morning but would become free during the afternoon. But, would still rate as excellent, for all the reasons I have listed above. Great facilities, attentive staff, would go again.

We visited this hotel for 4 nights. We changed rooms 3 times during this due to the first room having black mould In between the tiles and the door not locking in the second room along with the patio being black with dirt. The service is overall ok. However every night the food has been stone cold. The restaurant is so busy all times of day, we ended up eating out instead. Finding cutlery is a daily task. The drinks machines are in a different room to where you sit and eat so you have to walk back and forth. The basic chips, pasta, cheese and an over cooked meat. Mouldy strawberry’s. I managed to loose weight while I was away. The bars all have 7-10 people queues at all times a day. You even have queue for a cola or coffee. There’s no machines to just grab a drink. There is a ice cream shop but it’s in the main reception so you can’t have an ice cream on the beach without a 10 minute walk. In which time the ice cream has melted. If you like Bailey’s or Pina colada, they don’t serve either. Not even an alternative. You can only have a coffee in a plastic cup. No cup and saucer. I’ve no idea who is writing all these positive reviews. Maybe if you’re used to 2-3 star restaurants then this may be nice for you. However if you’re expecting anymore more then don’t book. It isn’t a 4 star, it’s more like 2-3 star. I have stayed at mitsis hotels before and this is an embarrassment to them. And a let down for those who trust them.

First time visiting this place with my friends and family. Place is amazing. Very nice hotel. Friendly staff and very helpful anytime. Lots of attractions for kids . Room was clean everyday . Always fresh towels. Cleaning ladies very nice welcoming you with a smile. Buffet in restaurant very well organize everyone will find something for themselves. From vegan and vegetarians to meat lovers. .

Honestly we are on holiday at the moment and for the money this holiday is spot on . The staff are friendly and the food and drink are fine also rooms immaculate. Can’t fault it. All staff are welcoming and helpful. The evening entertainment is brilliant, especially the Greek night with live dancers and live music the guy playing the mandolin was amazing

Had a Tension Relief Massage - 40 mins €75 at the Messonghi Spa. This massage is for your shoulder back and back of leg area. My therapist was Nikos. He is great at finding any knots that you have. I recommend this massage it leaves you feeling very relaxed, and is good for mothers who carry a lot of stress on their shoulders.
