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.

My girlfriend and I visited this hotel at the start of June for 7 nights on their all inclusive package, I will break my review down into various categories, as below;

Staff - absolutely no complaints, from check in until departure all staff were very friendly, professional and helpful, from the reception staff, to the restaurant staff & cleaners. 5/5

Room - We stayed in one of the newly renovated rooms. The room was lovely. The Air conditioning in the room was amazing. The room had a fridge (although not stocked), TV, safe, large modern bathroom & shower and a king size bed which was excellent. My only complaint is no bottled water, tea, coffee, milk was present in the room and water had to be purchased from the local shop. For an all inclusive 4* hotel, bottled water I felt should have been provided. 4/5

Food - After seeing some negative reviews online I was sceptical about the food in the main buffet restaurant. Fair to say I was pleasantly surprised. All of the food I ate was tasty & fresh. The salad bar was amazing, the grilled meats cooked fresh on an evening were very good. Breakfast was decent but could become a bit repetitive. The Baklava was the star of the show for me, I could tell it was made fresh and I ate lots during my stay. My only complaint of the food was it felt a bit repetitive, more variation of fruits, breakfast food would have been appreciated and I felt like a lot of pork was served. More fish & seafood would have been a nice touch. 4/5

Drinks - The main bar provides all inclusive cocktails, whilst these are not made fresh and are from a machine they tasted nice and were a good quality. The beer provided at the bars and main restaurant was tasty and always cold. Coffee from the machines was also a decent enough quality. We wished that the main restaurant kept the coffee machines on all day and not only for breakfast, as a coffee after dinner with dessert would have been appreciated. The wine served for all inclusive guests was not the best, but overall drinks were good. 4.5/5

Pools - The hotel has 2 pools, the main large one is located next to a bar and the main restaurant. It was a very nice pool, very clean, good size. There were plenty of loungers around it and we never struggled to get one. The second pool was smaller and quieter and located at the rear area of the hotel. This also featured a bar. We only visited this pool once, it’s ideal for families with small children. No complaints on the pools. 5/5

Cleanliness - The hotel was very clean and tidy and the grounds were well maintained. Housekeeping replenished towels and made the bed daily however the bedding was not changed. I feel like staying for 7 nights I would have expected the bedding to be changed by housekeeping. 4/5

Location - The hotel is located a short walk from the beach, which was lovely. The hotel provides a daily free shuttle bus which visits the local town twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. This is booked at reception 24hrs prior. It was a great addition which we used numerous times. The hotel is also very quiet which helped contribute to a relaxing stay. 5/5

Entertainment - The hotel provides entertainment daily, although we did not take part in any of this so I cannot comment, however the staff who provided the entertainment were friendly. The live music in the evenings by the bar was a nice touch. The main negative for me was having to pay for tennis. They wanted €20 an hour to play. Again, for an all inclusive we felt this should have been provided and a deposit for equipment. A shame 3/5

Overall a lovely stay at a relaxing hotel. I’d say it’s a lower end 4* hotel but with some small tweaks and improvements it would be even better. I recommend staying here if you want a relaxing hotel.
