Mystras Grand Palace Resort & Spa
Everything was good but the pool was closed which means they should offer the option of use of the indoor pool without charge. It is petty to charge for use of it at a 5 star hotel.

Verga Apartments & Suites
Nice location on mountainside, about 1km from beaches, basic but has all amenities needed. Maria welcomed us on arrival and made it very easy to get settled. If you have a car it’s easy to get around, Kalamata beaches are 5 minutes and Lidl grocery store close by.
