Argolida Vacations & Trips from $1,009

Good hotel just not the best location

My plan was to give this property 1 or 2 stars but it earned 3 stars because of the private adult only beach which made this vacation so much better. A few things as heads up: 1.) the check in time is 3pm, seems to me that they intentionally keep you wait till 3pm as we were offered an early check in for 1250 Euro (yep, you heard it right) but got into the room at 3pm. We went to the beach so didn’t mind too much. 2.) some of the sea front rooms are NOT sea front rooms. We were told that we got a sea front room but it was sea view. 3.) the area is not that nice outside of the resort. 4.) There are a lot of families, a lot. Coming back to the room we couldn’t use the private pool because we were surrounded by families and noise. Same for breakfast. Same for the pool and beach area. What saved our vacation from being a disaster was the private adult only beach. The adult only beach is in a great location and a much better view than the hotel. Overall, the hotel is completely over priced and over hyped and we would probably choose a different place when we are back in the area.

The lobby, and restaurant area look pretty good. But the rooms definitely need an upgrade. Air conditioning not working properly all the time, you have to bang the door to the room to close it and open it, no coffee/tea amenities in room, no iron, no robe, no slippers. No bellhop to help with luggage. I have fallen on the front steps of the hotel twice because the steps didn’t have enough light and floor markers. No one came to help me even though I’m sure I was visible to the desk staff through the glass doors.

My stay at Anthology of Athens was fabulous, albeit too short. The hotel manager, front of house staff, restaurant employees, spa and housekeeping staff were all amazing and incredibly welcoming and helpful. I was travelling alone but did not feel lonely as there was always someone stopping and chatting. The Botany Restaurant was outstanding and my spa treatments were very relaxing. I would highly recommend this stunning boutique hotel.

Everything was excellent. We can’t wait to come back as a family
