Chrousso Village

We had a lovely relaxing 10 night stay, being early in season it’s quiet, we did arrive about an hour or so before room ready and was checked in and wrist bands on , able to have lunch. grounds are lovely , and only 10mins walk to beach, as early was lovely and deserted . Sea bit chilly but ok.

We was in the loft room renovated, very nice , lovely view .comfy beds Maid change towels every day, made beds. Fine , nice hairdryer , kettle, but lucky we brought out own tea bags/coffee and got milk /water from shop . Fridge in room. Nice fly screen when having door open, can link tv to phone to watch Netflix

Only negative the shower can flood floor as no door , so using towels to dry. Floor not always swept Glass between balconies so don’t feel private. Luckily we didn’t have many people on our side and they didn’t sit on balcony. No air Con , we did complain , we did sleep as warm on top floor no sheet and door open all stay. They said was too early in season ! Being remote seem hear dogs at night and get woken by a lot birds in morning. Also is up very steep 2 flights stairs , no lift. Was fit by end of holiday, lol !

The food is the main let down otherwise would given 5 stars. Mostly barely warm , shame as tasted ok. even on the show cooking area mostly pre cooked and hit and miss if hot. Sometimes get a warm plate. Don’t think the heat lamps work very well. And worried , but surprisingly never had upset tummy. Was quite repetitive and struggled some days. Did nice pizza couple nights and was hot , nuggets and mousaka. But always salad and Greek cheese ! Bread lovely , desserts ok again bit same. Italian restaurant not open as early in season.

Rose wine ok and beer in restaurant. Luckily we took our own duty free drink as found from the bar mostly sweet syrup tasting alcohol so never went there

And they allow smoking inside bar so put us off going in , different rules abroad. And when it rains very limited areas to sit.

We liked the quiet pool , strangely always roped off. But did go in for swim ! Like few others .

Free bus to Pekhochori is good and nice to walk around. About 10mins drive. Cafes , bars, shops restaurants have to book at reception Leaves 10am. Back at 2pm Evening 7pm. Comes back 10pm

We did book at reception excursion, cruise to mount Athos , very nice and saw dolphins. Go on pirate ship , get off at Ouranoupolis for short time, shops/ restaurants, recommend Mamoynia -lovely pizza /burger .

Hotel staff polite and helpful. Lady at shop very helpful outside hotel, good selection food/ souvenirs, And a well stocked beach shop.

There are pros and cons with this hotel like most hotels. Pros first, very well kept garden clean and presentable. Cosy beds cleaners did a fantastic job too!! Reception staff are excellent they will help you with anything you require and were so friendly! Peaceful surroundings, decent food, bar was ok but lots of wasps and all inclusive cocktails were pretty good! Free bus to Pefkochori which was a life saver as it's in a remote spot and beach is ten min walk and is fantastic! Cons; As it's remote you can't really go walking as it's all up hill, no shops nearby except the onsite shop which was more expensive. Do not do the CAVE TRIP it took 2-3 hours to get there and back so wasn't worth seeing to be honest, it was an incredibly long day on a coach! No door on the shower so the bathroom turned into a swimming pool and no drinks in the fridge not even any water which would have been decent considering we were all inclusive and yes there was a kettle but no tea or coffee, luckily I brought my own. Sun loungers were uncomfortable so I took a pillow with me. No price list at the bar and I didn't feel comfortable asking how much is a disaronno. No snacks apart from some tiny pastries which was disappointing. Pay extra for proper coffee which I did once for €5. Would I say this is a 4 star hotel, no I think it's a 3 star but if you really want to get away from it all then it's a good shout. Entertainment was minimal but it was the start of the season. We really enjoyed our holiday though because we were able to use the free bus and visit poloychrono and Hanoiti so all in all a really lovely relaxing break. Ps if you love a spa there's one about ten minutes drive away but get a cab cos there are lots of hills! Thank you for looking after us.

Firstly let me say the grounds of this hotel is beautiful and maintained to a very high standard, everything was clean and the beds were very conformable. (We had a renovated room) I have marked this as a 4 and not 5 for the following reasons.

1. Food - was very repetitive and not many options, was the least amount of choice I’ve had in any hotel. The worst bit was they didn’t have labels, we never knew what the food was, this was such a downfall ! Food that we did eat was nice when it was hot, seems like some of the hot plates don’t work, which then put me off eating any meat.
2. The pool, there really aren’t many seats around the pool, most of the seats are on the grass.

The pool should open at 10am but the lifeguard seemed to kinda turn up whenever he would like, he was in charge of the towels and moving the sun beds back to where they should be around the pool. Personally I don’t think the lifeguard should be sorting out towels for people his eyes should be fully on the pool. Also I’ve never known a lifeguard to sit in a corner under a tree, every place I go to the lifeguard is up high or in the centre to have a clear view. 3. Entertainment - think they were all knew, seemed nervous and not really sure what they were doing. By the end of the week, more activities was happening but a little too late for us. (They were very friendly and polite)

Everything was lovely and the beach near by which was about 10 minute walk is absolutely stunning and you should definitely go, they also do water sports on here. Overall we had a great stay so thank you, but think of those few things were tweaked I would have give you 5 stars. 1 shout out to the manager, I don’t know her name but she was there every day of our stay and always had a smile and always made us feel happy and welcome. She was always in the pool bar.

Thank you for our holiday.
