Holy Monastery of Saint Ephrem the Syrian Tours and Activities

Our stay at the hotel was amazing! We got a room upgrade thanks to Dimitris, the reservations' manager Very convenient location near all the hotspots of Halkidiki.

The hotel was very nice. I wouldn't necessarily call it a 4 star hotel but it was a solid 3! The staff very helpful and accomodating and the room was lovely. Only minor gripe was the outdated shower but it was functional and hot water was there within seconds so happy overall. The breakfast options were great but I would have appreciated dietary advice as I'm lactose intolerant on what has been cooked with milk or what contains milk. I stayed clear of all the different hams as some of them contain lactose, I had to go and ask the kitchen staff if sausages eggs etc were cooked in oil or butter. One would assume oil but someone with my condition cannot afford to assume. They did come back to me straight away though so that was great. The pool was good size and clean but the surrounding area of the pool lacked color.. it was very concrete-gray all around and could do maybe with the same color theme as the rest of the building complex. The aircon worked but even at full frost settings it wasn't that powerful and quite noisy as well but thankfully I sleep with earplugs. Again minor issues seems like a few things that are work in progress but overall it was a very good experience. It looked like a great hotel for families with small children with lots of facilities for them.

We spent 3 days at the hotel (got an amazing deal w Expedia) and cannot fault the hotel at any level. The staff were incredibly attentive, respectful and friendly, the facilities were great. We Spent a lot of time at the beach where you can get food and drinks served to your lounger overlooking the sea ( what else do you need?!). We also used the beautiful spa and in in the evenings when out for dinner in the nearby villages (it is not very near, car would’ve been helpful but there are plenty of taxis). Breakfast was included and delicious. I Definitely Recommend this hotel.
