“Great for romantic getaways...”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

I went with my husband in August for our wedding anniversary. We stayed there for 3 days. We had a garden view bungalow in an uphill with a spectacular view to the sea and a pine-tree hill but a bit far from the main hotel. So if you want to climb the uphill on your way back from the beach on a summer normal August day with 37-38C degrees you need at least to be fit!!! The room was very clean, excellent decorated with a nice double jacuzzi (which is in the same room).

The staff is very friendly, polite and ready to assist you whenever you wish. Because of our anniversary we were offered a heart shaped chocolate cake. The breakfast was one of the best I ever had with a great variety. The breakfast room had a breathtaking view to the ancient temple of Poseidon and the wide blue sea. You start your day gazing this spectacular view. What’s more relaxing???

The beach is nice although it’s not so big. The sun loungers are comfortable where you can enjoy a beverage, a snack or a light meal. The only disadvantage is the high pricing of food at all restaurants including the beach bar. Don’t miss having your drink at the lounge bar during sunset…it’s a magical moment….

I would definitely recommend this hotel for a romantic getaway…

“Splendid room atmosphere.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 January 2012

Our bungalow had a flair of greek retro movies of the 70s. Tastefully decorated with a great ambience and a chilled bottle of white wine and fruits was expecting us. View was splendid and although I had booked a mountain view bungalow we had been given a sea view one with an amazing frame of the Poseidon's temple. Dinner in the Asian Restaurant was of good quality, service was subtle and smooth but considering the fact tha the wow factor was missing I found the cost of 110 euros for two persons out of reality, especially when one could have spend the same amount on one of Athen's most awarded reastaurants for a brilliant gourmet dinner..
My negative comment would definetely go to some maintenance details in the bathroom area ( ants coming in through holes in the window frame, excess silicon sealers along the bathtub are inexcusable). I didn't make a fass about those but it's perfectly logical if somebody who pays 300 euros/night would. Staff could have beeb more into it but again Greeks were never into formalities. It's hard two change that

“Nice hotel, worth a visit.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 October 2011

We stayed at Cape Sounio for 10 days in August of this year. It is a nice hotel and on the whole, the staff were friendly and helpful.

We had a family bungalow quite close to the main hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable but small. The double bed in one room took up the whole room and had to be accessed from the foot of the bed. The bed in the other room was pushed against a wall so the person sleeping on the wall side had to climb to the end of the bed to get in and out.

The swimming pool is in a nice area close to the outdoor restaurant, which makes it easy to have lunch, snacks or drinks. It is filled with salt water though, so this might be an issue for children when water gets in to their mouths as it invariably does.

There is NO shade by the pool apart from one tree in the far corner. There are parasols, but you are not allowed to have them up if it is windy. I found this ridiculous as it meant that you couldn't spend long outside, especially with children as there was no way of spending some time in the shade. I certainly didn't appreciate being reprimanded by the pool staff for opening a parasol and then to have them come and close it!

The beach is through a tunnel under the road and is small but pretty. The water is shallow a long way out and it is safe for children. The sun loungers are pretty close together but overall it is a good beach with a lovely view.

If you are travelling with children you should note that the "Kids Club" is in effect, a large tent at the back of the hotel. The temperature inside is madly hot and the toilets have definitely seen better days. The staff there are very good though and as our daughter only wanted to take part in one or two of the (mainly outdoor) activities none of this was a problem for us. However, if you are thinking of leaving a child there for a whole morning or afternoon I would think twice as the facilities just aren't up to scratch.

This hotel seems to attract a lot of business travellers, which given that it is only an hour outside Athens is not really surprising. However, it does give the hotel a slightly different feel from a pure holiday hotel.

Our only issue with the hotel was in relation to the the service on the terrace. We would have liked to have had a drink before dinner each night, but the service was just agonisingly slow here. We waited at least half an hour every night before we were served a drink, which I found vaguely annoying given that the hotel was nowhere near full. The hotel must be losing money here as people just didn't bother waiting around and went straight in to dinner instead. The spa is very nice and there are lovely views from the various terraces at the hotel.
