Elinotel Apolamare Hotel

All food was cold, meat either undercooked or tough and same menu for lunch and dinner. No 'show' cooking; dining room equipment antiquated. No handrails on steps and steep ramps on corridors and dininng room - dangerous for children and people with mobility problems.

We were disappointed when we arrived, as my partner has health issues. There was no one to help in getting the luggage up the steps and no one by the reception. Luckily we didn't have to wait long for Anna to help us check in. We don't like to complain but sorry to say this but this is not a 5* hotel, more like a 3+ which needs some attention. PROS: - Special thanks to, Costas (restaurant), Mr Thank You (bar manager), Anna (reception),most of the staff behind the beach bar, sorry I don't remember all your names. I hope you know who I mean. Because of these people we were made to feel at home. - The water at the beach was really clear and felt like a warm bath - The village is very close by, you can walk it in about 10 mins depending how fast you walk, it's lovely, with lots of restaurants and shops. CONS: - No help with luggage - Alot of self serves - In September there seems to be a staff shortage - The food was mostly cold and not very greek - Cleaning could be better e.g. shower doors, etc and if something is not working properly then the clearners should pass this on to reception, e.g. our tap by the basin and toilet. Tap did get fixed in the end. Toilet was terrible we had to flush 4-5 times, many people seemed to have the same problem with their toilets. - Very stoney beach, need beach shoes - In september we had a lot of screaming babies and children, so if you are looking to relax, that might be a bit tough. - Most of the guests and personel are from Easten block countries, so it didn't feel very greek, which was a shame for English, Dutch and Germans as we feel a bit like outsiders. - No coffee or tea in the room - Greek evening is good but no greek food to make it feel complete Hope this helps if you are thinking of booking this hotel

Along with partner we spend 1 weekend in Elinotel Apolamare and it was a good experience. The resort is absoluteley beach front and the beach is great in front of the hotel and well organized. Also, the food was very good. I would defenately suggest the resort for vacation in Kassandra Chalkidiki.

Great hotel, we had a lovely stay, everything was great, near to the centar, nice pool, beautiful beach, only the food was average…staff was very polite, the room was awesome, superior room with beautiful view and balcony. Everything was clean, and clean ladies were very friendly.
