Hotel Makarios

The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome in Greece. Everyone was so happy to help and it had a great home feeling.

It was a little bit out of the way (which was actually quite peaceful) but was a 15 min into the town of Kamari.

- hotel was really exactly like in the pictures shown on booking.com - the pool was clean, big enough to swim, surrounded by beautiful flowers and palms and never crowded (more than enough sunbeds). We could mostly even use it for just the two of us or had to share it maximum with very few others (mid to end of June). - reception workers were very friendly and helpful and never in a bad mood (even when we arrived at midnight). As we stayed for a whole week we were also offered to change rooms if we prefer another room more (we were allowed to simply take a look at other possibilities and decide). - parking was never a problem and possible directly in front of the hotel - trips could also easily be booked at the reception on short term (e.g. for next day) - close to airport and easy drive also during the day when it is more busy - croissants and the warm dishes at breakfast were always freshly made compared to other hotels

We liked our stay very much so the following things are really just minor minor comments: - during breakfast we were missing some fresh fruits like watermelon, grapes etc. (what was available were apples, various dried fruits and canned peaches, one day canned pineapple). The hot chocolate comes from a machine and always also had a coffee taste to it. When we had breakfast the first 2 days they had really good spinach-dough-things but the other days not anymore. - my mum is always making a "cleaning test" when she is in hotels where she purposely inspects what dirt she can find and if it stays there or gets cleaned away. In my opinion it was fine but some tiny sandcorns stayed where they were from the beginning.

It’s a great location, the room had just been renovated. Lovely views and the staff were lovely and helpful throughout the stay.
