Overall very good
Great spot close to the Corinth Canal. Nice pool, and good value with dinner (buffet - fresh salads, veges, hot meat and fish) and breakfast is included. Rooms are clean, although a little tired. Quiet at night, which was great for catching up on sleep after a long flight.

Local Restaurants are good
The front desk staff was very kind. Check-in was easy, however the room had some cracks in the plaster and there was water damage to the ceiling in the bathroom. It was eco friendly as they left the hallway lights off during the day. It was too cold to use the pool or the beach so I can't comment on that. The local restaurants have really good food so feel free eat out!

Good value for money.
We are a couple touring in our British car around Greece and stopped one night here. We were upgraded to a room on the 2nd floor with a balcony overlooking the garden and the sea which was a pleasant surprise. Our rate included dinner which we thought for buffet was very good - likewise so was breakfast. Would definitely stay again if we were passing through.

I want to begin by giving some context to our opinion to make this a fair review. My wife and I had just travelled from Athens where we stayed in a very nice 5* hotel where we had been pampered for 6 days. Our 1st impression of Kalamaki Beach was that the place looked tired. Some effort has been made to modernise the reception, bar and dining areas, but the accommodation levels and hallways didn't look like they had been altered since the 70's. Our room was basic and the bathroom again was in serious need of a makeover. That said, it was a sea view room and the view was beautiful, across the garden, pool and straight out to the Saronic Gulf. The hotel is ideally located for trips to Corinth, Loutraki and Epidaurus, but we would say that you definitely need a car if you are staying here. We found all the staff to be very kind friendly and attentive. We had opted to stay here half board and there in lies our primary issue with this place. The food was not good, there were one or two decent dishes in our 4 night stay, but most of the hot options were left out without proper facilities to keep them warm. our stay was in April and the hotel was very quiet, so we understand that this can make timing of food preparation quantities an issue, but the quality of food was pretty poor regardless. In summary, Good location, beautiful views and lovely staff, but the place needs some financial investment and a rethink on the menu and food preparation.

I'd Stay Elsewhere. . .
The front-desk receptionist made it seem like my reservation was an inconvenience. She greeted me when I walked in to check-in by telling me there were no rooms available... which I thought odd since I had paid for a room. I had to show her proof of my booking, also odd, and then it took over 20 minutes to check-in.. very unsatisfactory customer service. Accommodations were so-so. My husband and I drove out of our way to stay at this hotel because of how beautiful it looked. Next time we are in Peloponneso area, we will stay elsewhere.

The Kalamaki Beach Hotel Isthmia is lovely and a wonderful bargain for your money! We loved the scenic location on the water, and the pool area is very nice. We also liked that the price of the room included breakfast and dinner each day and that there was such a big selection of options on the buffets.

clearly set up for cheap package holidays.
Very basic rooms. No tea/coffee in room and definitely no room service. Hotel was still being decorated and toilet did not work...had to call plumber out to repair. Inadequately staffed and they didn't speak English. Pool out of service and very basic breakfast. I wouldn't recommend going out of season and looks like a cheap package tour hotel. Miles out of town and no nearby coffee shops/ tavernas.

Horrible!
What a joke...we made a reservation, came and the gates were locked. Had to wait and eventually walk to a nearby restaurant to get them to go wake up the manager and let us in...ar 5 in the evening. He spoke no English and breakfast was horrible. they literally put out stale bread and old hard boiled eggs and there were birds in the eating area picking at the stale food. I had finally had enough and just left. what a shame. The hotel itself has a gorgeous setting bit it's rundown and obviously not run well.

A beautiful spot to start your Greek vacation!
We arrived jet-lagged and exhausted but were refreshed by a good Greek salad at the outdoor cafe and a swim in the beautiful pool or the beautiful Mediterranean, or both! Our room had a balcony and beautiful view and a full bath. Beds were comfortable and the nights were quiet, although partial partitions between balconies made private conversation difficult. Meals (breakfast and dinner with your room) were generous ok but catered to the large group of German tourists. The staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful, and arranged for their van to take us to nearby ruins for a very reasonable fee.

Good hotel. Right at pebbly beach.
Overall good hotel. Stayed there May 9 and relatively empty except for two bus loads of tourists. They came and went after one night...quickly. No real menu as it was clear that they were working it out. Food was plentiful and good and nothing stood out. This is a modern high rise one should find fine, but not inspiring. Pool very cold, same temp as cold Med sea. Brrrr.

This is not 4-stars. Facilities are run down.
We don't understand how this hotel has 4 stars. I would not give it one. Facilities are run down. Everything was old, dirty, and/or broken. Air conditioning did not work, hallway lights were off and we had to contact the front desk to have them working. I did not take a shower because the bathroom was disgusting. Breakfast was also bad, food was not fresh. Avoid!

Great views, lovely balcony, beds comfortable, Great location for day trips, but a car is advisable.. Interesting mix of nationalities in the hotel. Male waiters v friendly and helpful The minuses. Restaurant food mediocre, not always fresh Ensuite bathrrom, dated and cramped. non-Greek waitresses lack training. A/c poor in room, and none in the reception No internet in.rooms and v slow wifi in reception, v hot. Probably would not stay there again, mainly because of the food and ineffectual aircon.

Superb, fabulous, a dream come true!!!
This hotel is in paradise. I visited hundreds of beaches, but never have I literally experienced the magic of a swing by the beach, warm water, green grass and the view of my childhood fantasies. Lights dancing in the ocean and peace... The first thing I did, I found the owner, the sweetest lady and I told her that the photographs displayed don't encompass the total magic. The breakfast by the sea, the pool, the grass, the view, the flowers, the romantic dinner, food included, by the way. I stayed one more night and I will go back, always.

Nice location, needs some easy 21st century fixes.
The hotel is a bit tired and in need of a makeover, but it worked perfectly well and the venue is lovely. We had dinner included, which seemed like a mistake until we tried to find a restaurant locally, out of season. Buffet breakfast and dinner were perfectly fine, and took the hassle out of finding somewhere else. I really wanted to go in the beautiful swimming pool but in October it was freezing. Free WiFi did not reach outside the bar area. These days that is easy and cheap to fix and would be a major reason not to come back. Everyone wants to upload photos to Facebook immediately, and not being able to do it is frustrating. My phone refused to connect to the internet, though 3G was supposed to be available. Oh well, this is Greece. The TV digital channel for BBC World just would not work, but most other digital channels did. Simple to fix I would have thought.

Had 2 nights. Thought grounds and location superb. Hotel reception very good. Staff welcoming. Central areas high standard. Room had poor bathroom and furnishings bit tired. Wifi only in central area. Did not like meals at all. Very institutional and dominated by big coach parties. Not a good hotel for individual traveller. We had a lovely view from our room. Good value but suggest B and B best option.

Great place to relax, swim and go sightseeing
We really enjoyed this hotel. The breakfast and dinner buffets included in our half board package offered a fine variety of foods and the attentive staff made sure that nothing ran out and was fresh. They even brought fresh food up to five or ten minutes before mealtimes ended. The pool and private beach were great and the hotel staff tried to be helpful whenever we had questions (most of them were about getting to sightseeing locations). The only down side of our stay was that there was a wedding on the hotel's grounds the Saturday that we stayed there. We enjoyed watching the set-up and evening's festivities, but at around 11:30 p.m. the DJ turned the music up to an unacceptable level and many hotel guests were unable to get to sleep because of the excessive noise which lasted until about 2 a.m.

This hotel is all about the outside & its worth it
This was our final nights stay on our way out of a business trip as we wanted to get out of the town. this hotel was a real find. That being said you have to understand how the hotel is designed which is to make the most of the beautiful and i mean stunning private beach and the gorgeous weather. The reason i say this is because the rooms are clean and functional but not luxurious. This is in complete contrast to the hotel itself and the outside areas which are simply perfect. The staff are nothing less then delightful, the food is gorgeous and i will make time to go back here again. so if you just want to be in a room and order room service this isn't your place, if you want a lovely hotel where you can enjoy being outside by the sea you will struggle to find better!

This hotel is out of the way a bit so its great for just staying put and enjoying the beach or pool: both of which are awesome. Get a half board room as the food is good and all you can eat. You can get lunch from the pool bar or a small take away outside. Prices reasonable. We loved it. Great staff. Be aware that its only for going there and staying there. But once you are there you won't want to leave anyway.

An ok hotel with excellent views and good service.
The hotel has had a face lift. At the time of our visit there were only a few other people in the hotel, the service was very good, the few staff could not do enough for us. The views from the room was astounding, and looking at the layout of the hotel and its location most rooms get a sea view.

A Good Place to Stay near Corinth
The Kalamaki Beach Hotel is well situated on an east-facing beach a few kilometres south of the Corinth Isthmus. The Hotel facilities are very adequate, including a nice pool. The rooms have balconies with lovely views over the beach and bay. They are adequately furnished and large enough for a short stay but have no facilities for making hot drinks. The evening meal was very good but the breakfast was only adequate. We did not see many tavernas or local restaurants nearby but Corinth is not far away. If you stay here, Epidavros is about 30 kilometres away and the huge well-preserved amphitheatre there is worth a visit.

Ideal Hotel to visit the historical sites in NE Pelopenese
The hotel is situated south of the Corinth canal and is well signposted on coast road. From this ideal location you are able to visit all the sites in the region returniing to the hotel for an excellent night. Dinner is served in the hotel if required. I extended my stay to 3 nights. To reach the hotel from Athens airport takes an hour on an expressway.All aspects of the hotel were good. Very helpful reception staff. Enjoy your stay.

Better than other 'reasonable' resorts in Greece
The hotel and room were quite nice and modern (by Greek standards); hotel was isolated; it had a nice pool, beach and grounds; food was cafeteria food with little flavour and overcooked but plentiful and there was a pleasant outdoor seating option. Hotel was well located for visits to Ancient Corinth; Mycenae and Epidavros. Great food in small travernas in Loutraki and villages around.
