The location is the best I have ever seen, very nice hotel, helpful and professional staff and wonderful sea! Ideal for relaxing holidays with nice events every night. Nearby there is Plakias, a touristic village, where we had some fun. We enjoyed the diving center and the spa center of the hotel. Totally recommended!!! We'll be back soon.

This was our 2nd visit to Kalypso. First visit was couple of years ago, just my wife and I, and we loved it. This summer, we spent 4 nights with our 2 kids. We booked a family room, and as soon as we got to the room, the smell was terrible, with mold in the bath and no ventilation. We... More

Most amazingly beautiful location, with lots of activities. 2 star accommodation. But I wasnt happy with the staff. When we arrived there was no food for us and they refused to help us out, we were starving and hadnt eaten in almost 24hours. They were adequately helpful in general. Our tub leaked, which i could get over but the whole... More

First things first - would we go back - absolutely and we plan to do so next year. This place is an acquired taste: there is much that would normally irritate us (tired bathroom - charging for minibus to town - renting beach towels - awful tea and juices) but the location and staff worked their magic and this was...

Pros: great location on the rocks with stunning views. Clean (compared to other beaches) water. Cons: Poor value-for-money considering room condition and food. Shabby furniture and very old samitary ware as well as TV (luckily we don't have smell problems in WC). No free beach towels (4 eur per week) Limited (yet eatable) selection of food. We didn't experience problems... More

August brings extraordinary, typhoon force winds with regularity to this area. We endured three days of flying furniture, drinks and astonishing sea tearing waterspouts.This "resort" hotel complex of maybe 3 star standard rooms is heavily patronized by package mid-Europeans, particularly Poles and remarkably there's no standard literature in English. That aside and no offense fellow stayers, you are captive to... More
