Reviews for Porto Carras Sithonia

Review 1:It was not my first stay in this hotel, I was there 5 and 3 yearsago, but...There is no WiFi. Dirty and smelly rooms are for less than 2 star hotel. It is not enough to have 30 m2 to be an 5 star hotel. The selection of foodstuff was really insulting bad. In week when we was there, hotel was almost full with the guests which was not properly dressed for lunch or dinner, but nobody told them nothing. So the main restaurant was look like festival in poor village and like I have told before food selection was like in poor continental village. My wife was also poisoned with food.

Review 2:Golf course is just ok but Staff in Golf House was the onlyextraordinary helpful and kind.

Review 3:The idea of all inclusive packages is that you can access the facilities of the hotel anytime however the Hotel was offering 3 meals per day on their buffer hotel at reception plus you can visit in two intervals of day a kiosk for fruits, sweets and pies!!! You had more possibilities to won the Lottery rather to find an umbrella in the beach!!! The beach & pool bar closing at 19:00 while you can swim till 20:30 in that case if you would like to drink something you will have to walk till the reception or to pay for it!!!! The cold coffee "Frappe" was not part of the All Inclusive and was charging at 4 Euros!!!!!

Review 4:Staff trying to assist overcoming the horrible situation; the location of the hotel was fantastic

Review 5:The rooms and common areas need repairs, not just everyday housekeeping. The elevators insufficient for the hotel capacity (design error). "Guest relations" staff are a total loss - not helpful and mostly explaining how the advertised options can't really be used. Which is a problem by itself - serious discrepancy between ad impressions and reality, whereby you may actually have only one of the several options included in the advertisement and they explain how you can't use it because it is "already booked". After complain, things got better - and guess what - the plce was absolutely empty - so they just lied to get you not using your options. Anyway, one can't complain every day... I asked for visit to a winery in organised group (for a price) and they did nothing. I went there myself, and it turned out I've missed three tours in the meantime, because apparently personnel forgot about me. True, after complain (again) they offered excuses and compensation - and they offered it through - guess who? - the piccolo! That's insulting by itself. The wi-fi technically organised in such way that almost impossible to use, phone jumping from one router to another all the time, and requiring new log-in - even though it is a fenced huge territory and protection not really needed. Beach sand very coarse and sea starts deep - not good for small children. Food good and plenty but awful for Greece - not even once they serve grilled local fish or octopus, etc. - just international food with few 'local' specialities not really being the loved ones. On the third day my children requested we go outside to find proper Greek food - that tells you everything about the food. There were some entertainment options and animation for children - but almost nothing for grown-ups - generally, very dull place at night.

Review 6:A typical big all-inclusive hotel organisation. Well planned and maintained territory. Plenty of food. The drinks from the own winery excellent (ouzo, wine). Attempted large wi-fi hot-spot zone. Beach principally sufficient for capacity.

Review 7:Terrible wifi Strange rules (one towel per day, one plate of fruits at pool bar) Poor night club Poor housekeeping Beach bar closes very early Facilities need renewing

Review 8:View is nice Sea is clean

Review 9:The water in the pool with the slides and the bar was very dirty. Many of the guests were very unpolite and were pushing their way to the food in the all-inclusive restaurant. The all-inclusive wine is undrinkable.

Review 10:The location is great with a wonderful view from our balcony. The food is very good and astonishingly well made for an all-inclusive restaurant. The greek staff is excellent. We especially appreciated the nice tennis teacher (we have forgotten his name but he comes from Edessa in Greece). The system for changing the beach-towels every day is wery good.

Review 11:Wifi was non-existent for me, but the worse thing was how the staff treated me when I reached out. "There are many people in the hotel" and "it is not our problem" .. .this is even the manager! There is no path to the nearby village and the staff does NOT know that ...

Review 12:Overall feel is nice - rooms are good, it is relatively clean. Food and Drinks were good

Review 13:The hotel was not prepared to receive guests the first day. There was no heating in the room and no TV signals. They were restored the following day.

Review 14:Polite staff and willing to assist.

Review 15:We have chosen this hotel since it claimed to provide sauna, hamam, indoor pool, thalasa therapy. However when we arrived in the hotel, we found out that hamam, indoor pool and the thalasa therapy were not ready to be used. The water of the indoor pool was just been filled and water was cold. When we were trying to ask about the sauna, hamam etc, the manager of the spa insisted on selling us a stone massage. We already paid a big amount of money for one night which we thought we would have hamam, sauna, indoor pool. Not only that we found out most of these facilities are not available, they were also trying to take more money out of us for massage... When we brought the issue to the management and requested compansation, they said they will contact us but they never did... Finally our room was cold and we had to go down to reception couple of times to complain. And towards 12-midnight, they changed our room to a suite.... Yet, i find the management not professional. It wasnt our fault that they were not prepared to open the hotel for the season. They could have at least be willing to compansate for what they claimed to offer but failed to do so.

Review 16:We liked the view from our room and some of the food. Some of the staff were friendly and helpfull.

Review 17:maid opened the door twice without knocks when i was inside :((( terrible internet for the money.. the second room for the friends was twice expensive without possibility to access booking (((((((

Review 18:location room welcome gifts the view

Review 19:too much nose it is a place for family with kids, for summer time like the Turkish beach hotels and for casino players sealed like military training camp poor internet

Review 20:the view

Review 21:Everything was very excellent. Room was clean, big & comfortable. Food was very good & various, all inclusive menu too. Aqua park is good, beach also. We enjoyed all inclusive drinks & snacks everywere, on the pool, on the beach, in the hotel. Our kids loved aqua park & children disco on the beach in the evening. Staff was very friendly.

Review 22:Rooms can be better fitted with pictures, better carpets..... also morning chasing for the beach sun lounger. All outside premises can be used also by all other beach/resort intruders, no control at all, same for foods, beverages, sun loungers ....... There is a common known secret in the Neos Marmaras town, stay here and eat and swim in Porto Carras.

Review 23:Location, entertainment area, amenities, pools...., especially how good is adjusted for kids.

Review 24:small old rooms, cleanless, dusty rooms, need to educate rude russian guests how to use elevator, how to take food, etc..,

Review 25:Location, sea, beach, facilities, food is exellent

Review 26:- each day very loud music after 11p.m. -absence of enough place under the mirror in the main bath-room(room 21520) -not enough entertainment for children

Review 27:- food -beech

Review 28:The tap water, especially the hot, is "brown" and smells rust. The stuff mentioned that it is valid throughout the Hotel. Anyway I requested bottle water for the bath of my baby. The provided free of charge. Obviously the infrastructure is old lacking mentenance.

Review 29:White room restaurant is very nice and the staff extremely helpful

Review 30:- very outdated and badly maintained rooms - except the lobby and the surroundings of the hotel the rest if not renovated for many years

Review 31:- beach - food

Review 32:A real 'has-been' resort riding upon past glory. Poor experience if not Russian. Loud club music audible until 12.30 and later. Queues for everthing- battles to enter lifts. Children without nappies in pool. Poor internet. no amount of good weather would make me stay here again. Definitely not worthy of 5* at most 3* experience. Would not return as a family ever.

Review 33:Location excellent

Review 34:The quality of the services decreases (seems it's a trend of last years in Greece). This downgrades it from the 5* level. 1 example: they spread water on the terase ("Pergola" bar) and alleys, water spots last for hours...not nice view, and it's slippery, one kid has got injured slipping on it. The interior of the building, providing a nice spacious lobby, with opened space for 3 floors vertically is the victim of ecomony of resources, less than half of the lights are lighting...in contrast with Porto Carras Meliton Hotel, where the light defines the atmosphere. Due to "All inclusive" program (I think), the main bar ("Purple" bar) serves espresso as a self service from a Nescafe machine in polystyrene cups...it's ok on the beach, where glass and porcelain is prohibited for security reasons, but in the main bar...5*... :( .The same for drinks in plastic goblets. I prefer porcelain and glass there. Wi-Fi... :( we are in 2014... Free only on the main bar area, but it is under dimensioned. 25 minutes waiting time on iPhone to get connected.

Review 35:Location is great. Architecture of the building. The resort provides many facilities. Room was clean and very comfortable. Good quality of food. Enjoyable theme evenings organized. Good entertainment programs for kids. Overall you will enjoy the vacation there.

Review 36:Absence of shelfs in the wardrobe.

Review 37:The hotel was clean. The small Aqua park was great for children. The beds and the pillows was comfortable. The food was quite good, but not perfect. 6 kind of fruit every day. The beach was excellent. There was free towels for the beach.

Review 38:All inclusive menu - choice of meals for boring, only the cheapest things, you had to wait for everything The cheapest fruit for snacks, apricots and peaches were green and hard Lots of guests from Russia acting not very politely Plastic cutlery and cups at the beach restaurants, even for evening menu Swimming pool close to the bar (wet bar) was dirty Pool was from one side surrounded by ugly green wet carpet Poor wifi coverage Not enough beach furniture, you had to go early in the morning to 'book' your chairs

Review 39:Location Beach is clean and spacious Swimming pools with salt water and toboggans for kids

Review 40:Spa was closed out of season. Maintenance of rooms is not great.

Review 41:Staff was friendly, beautiful location.

Review 42:Can not access wifi

Review 43:Terrible wifi, room not clean same with 5 level

Review 44:BECAUSE OF ALL INCLUSIVE YOU HAD TO WAIT LONG TIME TO BE SERVED

Review 45:THE BEACH, THE HOTEL, THE HOTEL STAFF THE PRIVACY.

Review 46:hotel was very crowded, lots of tourists few waiter, we were always on a que to get potatoe, meat etc.

Review 47:beach sea is great

Review 48:The personal from restaurant respond with difficulty .

Review 49:The hotels and some services it is ok

Review 50:bad wifi service, poor variety of food

Review 51:personnel was generally polite

Review 52:No transfer from aeroport include I spend 300 ero for transfer it is disaster 400 can for 7 day stay

Review 53:bad wifi connection everywhere, the food was tasteless, room was not ready at arrival, all Inclusive drinks sortiment

Review 54:I did not like Sithonia hotel, Meliton is better, never stay at Sithonia !!!

Review 55:The location and the outside facillities

Review 56:Staff, food, service

Review 57:Location, sea

Review 58:Needs renovation. No pool with natural water. No hot water at the shower for higher floors

Review 59:The location and view were awesome and the food was good.

Review 60:Location is great, beach is wonderful

Review 61:You need to get organised better in several things a. you need to have some flyers or informations for 7 days or so, because its easier for guests to check whats happening, rather than go to reception or guest relations and ask every day. And not just in front of elevator. b. Its too much people in restaurant and its absurd to wait like 10-15 to take food because 30-40 people is in line. Resort like this should solve this. c. In beach bar / snack bar is same thing, when it opens in 11.00 you need to wait 10-15 or even more to get coffee. You need more stuff there.

Review 62:We have received junior suite sea side view instead of standard room which was great from staff. Location is perfect, food was really good, and animation were interesting especially for kids. Rooms were clean except carpet which lucks a bit dirty.

Review 63:Wifi problems and not clear signal. I was not able to watch tv the first night due to technical problems. Just one big towel in bathroom? The normal rate for this hotel should be 50% cheaper for what it offers.

Review 64:Location,sea,food,facilities and nature.

Review 65:Due to end of season some services were limited - mainly transport. Only 1/2 of journeys of resort bus-train. No boat connection with nearby town. Stay without car is less confortable. The restrictions were fully compensated by price. Water in tap is potable but is not tasty. Ofcourse, drinks were free.

Review 66:The hotel is located in large resort with 2 big hotels, marina, beaches, golf course, winery, hiking tracks. Only 20m from hotel pool to beach with beach bar. Golf course is in walk distance from hotel. All drinks and food is included in "all inclusive". During the end of season, all facilities were occupied only little. It was easy to find place on beach at pool. Great for family with golfer.

Review 67:The hotel is getting old and needs rénovation. The corridors are dark. It needs to be uplifted.

Review 68:The situation and all the outdoor settings. The casino is fine. The inclusive package is very good.

Review 69:quality of service, dirty bath, insufficient quantity of elevators, bad quality of internet, no diversity of the food, broken tiles in the pool - one child fell down in a hole covered by a tile, the sand of the beach is too coarse,

Review 70:the view, landscape

Review 71:Wonderful location exceptional water and air. Good food. But I wouldrecomend the hotel only if you love Russians. Becouse there too many ofthem there.

Review 72:The hotel is far from a 5 star hotel - needs immediate renovation, looksdirty because of beeing old; bathroom old and useless despite of havingeverything needed inside; dirty glases in restaurant so we had to useplastics all the time; Dirty pools with salt water; Beach is not sandbut tiny stones and barefoot is not recommended; Sea gets really deepjust 3-4 metres from shore; Hotel is ok if prices were 40% lowerotherwise don't go there.

Review 73:Lovely location, friendly staff, very spacious resort, great view, goodfood, plenty of things to do - biking, watersports, entertainment inhotel, nearby town is nice; the best thing was, that we received a seaview suite, instead of what we paid for - golf course view doble room

Review 74:The hotel needs renovation. Once it used to be a luxurious resort, nowadays it has lost it's spark. The food served is below average.

Review 75:Kohi beach The staff being helpful but I had to speak English as most of them were foreigners.

Review 76:Dirty, Misleadind Ad, old, neglected, unprofessional staff, awful food, cheap drinks, extreemely old facilities, very expensive for what it offers

Review 77:Location

Review 78:The sunbeds and buffet aren't what you would expect to find in a 5 Star resort. The food is variety is very limited and the fruit is very standard. The sunbeds are old and worn. Although the water in the pools look clean, the linings are stained. The room and beach towels are old & worn and all need replacing. The toiletries in the room are very limited. No conditioner or shower caps, no flannels either. No water is replaced in your room after you arrive. This is the poorest 5* all inclusive I have ever been to and will never return or recommend. Our veranda was never swept and our room was hoovered once during our stay.

Review 79:Not very much.

Review 80:the rate its over value. the condition in room was very poor, no clean, broke lights, the towers was ckrak, finally we change hotel!!!!

Review 81:the location

Review 82:staff is unkind and unskilled cleanliness is very poor food is almost the same everyday no wi-fi, which is unacceptable for 5star hotel

Review 83:beach seaside

Review 84:Entrance fee at the hotel casino.

Review 85:Great beach and garden, amazing room and excellent staff. They even upgraded our room to suite with same price. The food was amazing and also because of an injury we had, i can say that they also have an experienced doctor.

Review 86:The trip like a horror movie. There was complete lack of concern about safety. Hotel is full of hazards. Slippery floors, life guards reading books instead of looking at people. My friend broke an arm first day slipping in a wet floor going into the pool. I noticed several other guests where in cast and slipped in different parts of the hotel. Despite this rate of accident, nobody was there to maintain the slippery wet floors nor did they put any warning signs.

Review 87:Big space, long beaches, nice marina

Review 88:The food was poor, to say it nicely, the coffee served at th meals was awfull, and that payed in the bar (5,5€ for a double espresso!!!) not much better, the service in the restaurant was inexistent, the restaurant had the aspect of a students' mensa, and we had to ask at the reception for our room to be made up! All these in a 5 stars AI resort and not for a low price! The breakfast in Meliton was exactly the same, but the restaurant looked a bit better and there was some service (the awfull coffee was brought to your table). All in all the price-quality ratio was totallydisproportioned for this resort!

Review 89:The Grand Resort Porto Carras in itself is great: the two big hotels have well appointed rooms and suits ( Meliton is better than Sithonia), the views to the see and the marina are great, the choice of activities is very broad: from great golfing to surprisingly good diving, going through hiking and horse back riding and fun water sports! It is a great place for small children, with a special pool and activities for children. But unfortunately, the activities are the only reason to return to Porto Carras because...

Review 90:Serviced staff at the water slides (Ana), pay and slow wi-fi, low umbrellas on the beach, desalinated water, generally old and expensive hotel, lots of staff not speaking Russian

Review 91:Location, free parking, dinner and supper, vine, staff from Russian and Serbian,

Review 92:Internet connection

Review 93:Everything I liked. Very beautiful and well maintained Park, beautiful and clean, crystal clear pools. Cosy hotel, fast service, delicious and varied food, spacious and clean rooms, friendly and smiling staff. Sithonia Porto Carras thank you for the wonderful days.

Review 94:The food in the all-inclusive restaurant was absolutely inedible. It was disgusting, and the exact same for lunch and dinner. The bathroom in the reception area was filthy; there was urine all over the toilets and floor, and the smell reached the reception area. The room itself was clean enough, if you could get past the stains on the carpet and the wall. Honestly, this was not anywhere near 5 star (nor 4 star, nor 3 star). The guest relations representatives didn't know what was going on, and the bike rental guy showed up more than an hour late.

Review 95:The kids enjoyed the water slides. The grounds are beautiful. Once we got the bikes, the trails were lovely.

Review 96:Although we had a gold all inclusive package we were still requested topay for the usage of the indoor swimming pool which we never encounteredbefore. Beach towels were never replaced during our stay.

Review 97:The place is very nice and huge.

Review 98:Too expensive for a hotel that does not deserve five stars. The hotel isold, hackneyed, some staff do not speak English, faulty elevators, thestaff does not read what is written in the special requests when bookinghotels and many other small things which mean that the hotel is in thebest case could get weak four stars...

Review 99:Beach! Pleasant and kindly staff.

Review 100:The only thing we didn't like was a smell from the bathroom. Even though the rooms / bathroom were clean there was strange smell coming from the bathroom probably coming from the canalization system.

Review 101:Porto carras is a luxurious hotel with clear water beach just outside. We have also tried the spa facilities during our stay and we were very satisfied. The service in all hotel was very helpful and we had a very pleasant stay.

Review 102:I didn't like the staff in Mediterano restaurant, Food was not so good, To much children , no privace and noise,small SPA to fit the guest.

Review 103:I like the beach,and the facilities

Review 104:Internet connection at 15 euro/day is unreasonable and connection doesn't always work. Internal facilities are a bit dated (elevators, sitting rooms, etc.) and could use an update.

Review 105:Beautiful location on the Agean, surrounded by vineyards and olive groves, pleasant outdoor facilities.

Review 106:Perfect A+++++

Review 107:All is perfect!

Review 108:It is necessary to have swimming pool with natural water

Review 109:The food was of very poor quality.

Review 110:The countryside, the beach, the location in general.

Review 111:The overall facility condition is very poor with evident signs ofmaintenance neglect and deterioration. Certainly not a 5-star asadvertised.

Review 112:Excellent location, friendly staff, all-inclusive of food was good, but the hotel needs renovation. Was a nice holiday.

Review 118:location, sea

Review 119:The room was comfortable, we did enjoy our stay there. Nice beach and services

Review 120:The breakfast was very poor.

Review 121:The location of the hotel was perfect.

Review 122:Too much money for such a bad hotel. The hotel does not have a right to be 5 stars. Food and drinks are terrible.

Review 123:The whole package

Review 124:see-service-nature

Review 125:To old... Didnt like it at all

Review 126:Just the nature and the beach
