Sani Beach

Stayed here twice! Both times were superb. The first time we stayed it was just after my mum had passed away so we took my father with us. It was perfect if we wanted quiet we could find it if we wanted fun and company we found that also. Rooms were comfy, clean and adjoining as my young son was staying in with my father on the first visit. Pool view which was great if we needed to retire to the room early. All restaurants were fantastic service fabulous food wonderful especially around the marina. Would highly recommend to families.

We visited Sani Beach Hotel in July 2019, our 1st-time visit. It is simply bliss. From the resort, which feels more Carribean than a European resort, to the amazing staff. Special mention needs to go to Katerina Micheli, Rooms Division Coordinator and Demetrios, Manager, who did everything to make our stay out of this world and memorable. The resort is spotless and certainly has a real feel of luxury throughout, rooms, communal areas, restaurants, the beaches, marina, all had us speechless throughout our stay. We simply did not want to leave. The dine-around programme was great for us. We did eat once in the buffet restaurant, although our favourite night time venue was the marina to dine. The choices for food were fantastic, from the buffet restaurant to grill room, to Italian and Thia at the marina. Our days were filled due to the numerous pool areas, that again, was spotless and luxury, to the abundance of water sports. It was myself, my Wife and my Daughter who stayed and there was something for us all. Katerina also arranged for us to be collected by Chauffer at the hotel (Menalous-I think) was our driver's name, who was fantastic. He drove us around the 3 peninsulas of Halkidiki which was incredible. He was perfect at telling us about the islands history, people, food and industries. He also treated us to a stop off at the cave that St Paul had lived in when he landed at Halkidiki. A truly fantastic and spiritual experience for us and something we will hold dear for the rest of our lives. Before heading back to the hotel, Menalous had one further stop arranged for us, the most scenic cliff spot view ever, where we produced champagne, juice and treats for us to sit and soak up the sun and beauty of the area. We made new friends at every juncture of this holiday and that is down to the approach by staff and what is quite obviously excellent training and culture but also a genuine desire to embrace visitors. We were also upgraded to a better room by Katerina and Demetrios, which was above our expectations, but very appreciated. Lots of room, sea view balconies and again, real luxury feel, with a bottle of champagne, fruit and treats to help us settle in. Nothing, and I really do mean nothing, is an issue for this hotel and the staff. They go above and beyond at every level to ensure you never forget your stay with them. Our 12-year old loved every minute, from the White Night party at Bousoulas Beach Bar, a must on each Wednesday night, if you are visiting, to para-sailing, snorkelling and paddleboarding. Another highlight for us was when we hired a boat for the day and took a sail around the coast. Stopping off at a beautiful, secluded bay area and swimming and snorkelling off the boat was incredible. After this, we took the boat to a stunning village for lunch. Like every-time we have visited Greece, the people are some of the most friendly and welcoming I have ever experienced. Our boat trip was a real highlight. The marina is wonderful. A stroll in the sun admiring stunning yachts, people watching, boutique shops, and an abundance of snack stops or al a carte dining experiences. The hotel, as part of the Sani Resort group, offers a unique way to holiday. Sani Beach Hotel Reception arranged for a golf buggy to take us to a few of the associated hotels. They are all stunning and have different reasons for choosing them. We loved Sani Beach, although any of the hotels will not fail to have you wanting to visit back. For us, the staff at Sani Beach also made it memorable. We have visited many beautiful hotels and had a nice time, but the staff at Sani Beach, especially the ones I have named, meant when we left, we felt we were leaving friends! I could have stayed for a month! If you ever get the chance, do not hesitate to visit Sani Beach Hotel and Resort. Anton Lang

My family and I visited Sani beach during October half term. I had booked to stay in a panoramic suite. Our easyjet flight arrived before check in time. Our room was not ready. We were then offered the Sani upgrade. However it backfired a bit this time. They offered us a family room which was on the ground floor overlooking shrubs and the pool. The room was really nice but I specifically wanted a sea view room. My room I had paid for was already given to someone else. No more sea view rooms were available for another 2 nights, but they then moved us into one of their newly renovated rooms facing the sea which a massive balcony. The room was amazing and the sofa bed worked well with my two young kids. The mattress was too soft so housekeeping changed it for a harder one. On the day we arrived we had lunch at the buffet restaurant whilst we waited for the room to be ready. This is where my main gripe with Sani is. The food for vegetarians is limited, bland and repetitive in the buffet restaurant. We did bring this up with the chef who tried his best but still not great. I guess we are used to the quality of food offered in Dubai and turkey. The speciality restaurants were good with macaroni being our favourite due to their amazing pizzas. We didn't try the other restaurants as paying the surcharges would not be worth it as the vegetarian options were not too extensive and not worth the cost. Sani provides excellent facilities for the whole family. We did canoeing, paddle board and slide paddle boat. A lot of families were hiring bikes as well. Sani has 3 really well heated outdoor pools which is a god send. We were lucky the weather was around 24 degrees everyday. The sea water was fairly warm as well. The hotel provides beach toys to use which means you don't need to use up valuable luggage space. I booked some session at the kids club. It is a bit annoying that you have to book so far in advance but the club is really well run and professional. They looked after both my kids really well especially my daughter who is special needs as does not talk. They always had a slot free for her if I wanted her to attend at short notice. The staff are really caring and doing a great job with the kids. We attended some of the evening shows but my kids were too tired by then to watch a whole show. As we were staying in a suite we got to go on their Volvo tour. Spyros our driver was really friendly and showed us a great time. We went to some cave and a view point. This tour is really worth going on. I used the gym a few times which is well appointed. We also used the sauna and steam room. Whilst at Sani we saw families with all age groups in tow. There is something for everyone here. I would return and hope the food offering for vegetarians improves a lot. I would also recommend if not already done the hotel provide usb charge points in the rooms as well.
