Akrathos Beach Hotel

This hotel is amazing! The family that run the business are delightful and very hospitable. I went with my family (3 children 15,13 and 11). Everything was spotless, meals delicious and pools relaxing. We will be back!!!!

For one more time we decided to visit Mount Athos and for one more time we chose Akrathos Beach Hotel for our stay in Halkidiki and we were not disappointed with this choice. We traveled in the beginning of October and the weather was absolutely amazing. Great location, very clean property,good food, very helpful and attentive staff, making us feel just like home. Thank you for the great stay! See you next year!

My boyfriend and I stayed here for a week in September. We arrived near to the end of the lunchtime sitting, and were guided immediately through to eat before checking in which was great. Our first impressions of the restaurant were amazing, exactly like the photos on the website. Clean and spacious, lots of fresh salad and plenty of options. My boyfriend has a severe pork allergy and he was able to eat without any issue. Breakfasts and evening meals were also very good, plenty to choose from and always fresh salad available. The only downside was getting up to get your own drinks, but not really a problem and queues were never long. Our room was nice, slightly smaller than I am used to but had all of the essentials. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was clean. Yes, the shower/bath is odd, it is like a half size bath with a shower, and you have to hold the shower head BUT the water is hot and shower is powerful so we had no issues. Our balcony had enough room to sit on and our room was cleaned to a good standard every day. The facilities within the hotel can be a mixed bag. The beach was lovely, with free sunbeds, however the bar does only offer soft drinks and beer. The pool was also great, a little cold for my liking but that's ok, and the pool bar also served beer, vodka and soft drinks. Our only issue with the bars were that if it rained (which it did on a few days) both the pool and beach bar were shut all day, even if the sun came out in the afternoon. Evening entertainment was a little cheesy but the team worked hard to engage everyone (without pestering) with activities during the day and night. Ice cream and snacks were not part of the all inclusive, however this is explained clearly on arrival - I think travel companies such as Tui should be more forthcoming with the information but this is not the hotels fault! However they do have a well stocked shop on site, that is fairly cheap and also an ice cream shop that is open in the evenings. The location, in our opinion, is good if you don't really want much out of a holiday other than to relax and lay by the pool/beach. The town is quite small, although does have some lovely restaurants, and there are not many excursions. We would have loved to take a boat out to the islands however the weather was not on our side. Overall I would recommend this hotel for a relaxing week away, more suited to adults than children however don't expect to do much other than go on a boat trip to see the monasteries. It has plenty of good food and places to relax, as well as comfortable rooms. It could do with adding cocktails into it's all inclusive however we didn't mind paying a little extra for them. A very friendly hotel and well worth the price we paid.
