Готель Athos Palace Hotel 4*

Niedawno wróciłam z rodziną z wakacji. Jesteśmy bardzo zadowoleni pod każdym względem. Pokój niczego sobie, czysty. Baseny zadbane pod nadzorem ratowników. Morze przepiękne, cieplejsze od wody w basenie. Plaże rozmaite od dzikiej plaży po gruby żwirek do pięknej lazurowej z cieniutkie piaseczkiem. W restauracji jedzenie do wyboru dla każdego. Pyszne! Polecam na 100%

It was the first time for our family in this hotel. It is quite old, this is obvious. If it had some renovation, it would be hard to find many disadvantages to it. In general, as 2 adults and 2 kids (4 and 9) we had a great time in a sea-view 6th floor room, with a large double bed and 2 single separate beds. The room size was enough, bathroom quite large, corridor with a very spaciaous wardrobe. The only bad thing in the room was very old stained and kind of smelly carpet. There is a small empty fridge, balcony screen door, AC (very old system) works even with open balcony, electricity does not need a key.Food at the buffet was just fine, we are not extremely focused on food, kids had enough to choose from, there is a good choice of meat and wonderful fish, theme dinners. Beach area is clean and comfortable enough. Beach at the neighboring Pallini hotel is much better (entrance to the sea has no rocks like Athos' beach, where you need footwear), you won't need special footwear there. We have traveled to quite a few countries with kids and I have to say that this was the best sea experience I have ever had, considering that I am not a fan of beach holidays in general. The water was absolutely clean, transparent, calm, warm and simply amazing all the time, We didn't even want to go to the pool. Not much sealife to see, because the bottom is simple sand. We saw a few fish, a medusa, a crab. Staff were all polite and smily everywhere we went. We were lucky to check in straight upon arrival at 11 am. Reception ladies were helpful with information. The best staff are enterntainment team, especially some girls (i.e. Elena), who jumped, danced, sang, and played literally ALL day long and enterntained the kids at night too. Amazing enthusiasm and endurance! A lot of respect to them. It is worthwhile taking a taxi ride (10 euro) to the ancient Afitos village nearby, very pretty streets, wonderful views, good food, overpriced souvenir shops. Little food shop in Athos palace is good enough, we found that food item prices were the same at the village stores.Overall, we're happy with our vacation. We will try to choose this location in the future, thanks to the sea quality.

Купили с семьёй путевку «все включено» в этот отель и пожалели сразу же при заселении, потому что пришлось ждать пол дня в холодном лобби с ребёнком который хотел кушать, в туалет, спать и конечно же сильно капризничал из-за этого. И это при том что мы заплатили за полные сутки для позднего выселения, т.к обратный самолёт ночью.Территория большая и ухоженная, но здание старое, номера отремонтированные, однако с чистотой здесь огромная проблема, номера ещё хоть как-то чистят, а вот в ресторане не успевают наверно, посуда и приборы грязные. Выбор еды скудненький, но кушать можно.С лифтами постоянная проблема, с коляской приходится ждать очень долго.Wi-fi работает только в лобби и у бассейна и то очень медленно и ограниченное время.А с пляжем вообще отдельная история, везде написано, что пляж песчанный и по системе AI зонтики и шезлонги бесплатные, очередное враньё! Так как на бесплатном пляже заходить в воду без специальной обуви невозможно (камни, водоросли), кроме того туда сливается какая-то жижа, похожая на канализацию. И тут же на территории G-hotels есть пляж с нормальным входом, но за зонтик уже придётся заплатить 9€, иначе наглый тип, который говорит что это его личный пляж вызовет охрану и вас выгонят.Единственный положительный момент- это грамотный русскоязычный врач, т.к. после такого «теплого» приема у ребёнка обострился отит - осмотрела, выписала лекарства, объяснила как лечить. Хотя если бы на ресепшн стояли понимающие люди, то и к врачу обращаться не пришлось.В общем, на 4 звезды никак не тянет! Отдых испорчен!

Where to start?! Ok. Let me sum up the positive first, before I hit the negative experience about our stay in the hotel.It has very nice yard and the area around the hotel is well arranged and maintained. Green grass, nice pools, kids pool with some attractions, kids playground. So at first you say WOW! And than you enter your room :(1. You are welcomed by a "nice" smell of а stagnant air. You rush to open the balcony door but the smell just follows you everywhere.2. The balcony. Oooo scary balcony. The height of the protective fence is so low that even my toddler of 1,5 years was able to climb it. So i had to keep the door closed. Safety last! Someone needs to do safety check up immediately.3. Bed sheets! They are supposed to be white, but they are not. They have some strange yellowish color that your staff gets after getting so much washing. Obviously the sheets were overused, but the saving hotel didn't want to change them at all. Why i say this? Because there were at least 5 spots that were sewn.4. Ok. Time to go to the beach. What beach?! The one with rocks?! Pay 9 EUR and go to Pallini beach. Specially if you are with kids.5. Let's get a drink. We have all inclusive bracelet, but for drink you need to stay in the line and ask for it from the guy working in the bar. In most AI resorts drinks are usually at disposal. Especially water. Who would like to overload its body with drinks that are pure chemistry?! So be prepared to pay for your drinks. 6. Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. I read some review that peaches disappear and it happens to be correct :) You see them on few tables, but never in the fruits corner.What was most strange is that there is no self-service for drinks, coffee and tea, but waiters ask you what you want, they pour glass of tea and disappear. To be honest, this is the first time I see a waiter serving the tea. Not that there are many options (3 actually, black, green and chamomile) but they ask you which one, bring it on and you cannot find them to re-order. They served you and you are done!7. There are no kids chairs in the restaurant. So bring the stroller with you if you want your kid sited while eating.8. The chairs are so old I was disgusted to sit on them. Dirty and unnatural leather already cracked from too much use. 9. Be careful what they tell you when you book. I asked a baby cot and got a confirmation that baby cot will be arranged but there was no baby cot in the room. Explanation from the reception was that they have 1000 guest and they cannot follow them, so it is normal that if they write that there will be baby cot you again need to tell them to provide. I wonder how there is no such disconnection in communication when payment is concerned. How come they don't forget to ask you for money of the stay? So instead of sleep I had none in the tiny bad that cannot absorb 2 adults and toddler. 10. Payment is done upfront at check in. We did not pay as we were with crying toddler and they literary chased us (including sending us message under the door) to make the payment, like we will run away.11. We had AI arrangement, but we were buying our drinks, beach sun beds, lunch, coffee, so it is definitely not worth for the money.12. And in their effort to save money (once you enter the hotel, room, restaurant it is clear that it is all about cost saving), they have check in at 14h earliest and check out 11.30. The trick is that lunch is served by 14.30, so while you realize this fact you missed it and you check out at 11.30 and again you miss the lunch because it starts at 12.00. Unlike ALL AI resorts, they cut the AI bracelet at check out, so no matter when you leave the hotel you cannot longer use the "services" of the hotel. So far, i have always been able to use the services of the hotel until departure. 13. I also asked for a quite room because of my child and they gave me room next to the 4 elevators. You can imagine how quite is that!Hotel definitely is not worth the money! I would not recommend nor go EVER again. And for all of you thinking on AI option, please don't!

Hotel niestety chwali się nie swoją plażą ale sąsiednią. Na plaży i w wodzie hotelu Athos są kamienie. A najgorsze jest to, że hotel wypuszcza ścieki na swoja plażę (zdjęcia). Jedzenie monotonne – zwłaszcza śniadania. Dosłownie te same posiłki zdarzały się na obiad i kolację albo następnego dnia. W posiłkach dominuje kurczak w różnych postaciach. Niestety 4 osoby (w tym dzieci) z naszej 10 osobowej grupy miało zatrucie pokarmowe – w różnym czasie – więc nie od tej samej potrawy. Za mało wind i jeżdżą jak chcą. W pokojach brak wi-fi i stara śmierdząca wykładzina.Niemiła obsługa w głównym barze przy basenie, kawa i drinki all incl. okropne. Ogólnie all incl. niewarte.Plus za teren hotelowy.
