Colonides Beach Hotel

Colonides delivered everything promised and more during our recent stay at this quality hotel. The location is beautiful. Perched above beach level, the views across the Messinian Gulf to the rugged terrain of the Mani are stunning. We were welcomed by the very charming Marianna who gave us a comprehensive tour of the site and all the details needed for our time at Colonides. Our room was a deluxe sea-view. It was clean, bright and comfortable. There was ample storage space and the air conditioning was very effective. The sea view certainly did not disappoint and we enjoyed this every evening from the private balcony. Breakfast was excellent! Served in a restaurant which extended onto an open aired terrace with those fabulous views, there was a very good choice of food which was constantly replenished. I loved the various filo pies and one day, there was even a baked cheesecake which was delicious! Lunch and dinner were also served in the same area. The menu for each was varied, sometimes with specials and overall the quality of the food was excellent. What really stood out though and made our stay special was the kind and generous hospitality shown by the staff. All who we encountered were lovely but we would single out Anastasia and her team in the restaurant, including Ledia and George, whose company we enjoyed immensely. Any business is only as good as its people and these people are an invaluable credit to Colonides. Hope to visit again one day and cannot recommend highly enough 😊

The hotel is in a very beautiful spot. Not actually by the beach, more on the cliff above the beach. The infinity pool is fabulous and next to the restaurant where a great breakfast is served. The views across the bay towards the Taygetos mountains are spectacular. It was our anniversary and the hotel left us a gift of fresh fruit and chilled fizz in our room, which was lovely touch. We booked a garden view but sadly had a view of the side of the reception building, unless you cricked your neck, there was no view of the garden. There were a few issues with the room as the door key or safe didn't work. The self catering kitchenette is adequate but we would've really appreciated some washing up equipment. Running down the road to buy some Fairy liquid for a 3 night stay wasn't on my 'must do' lists! The staff are very helpful, pleasant as all Greeks are and most efficient.

Wonderful experience Wonderful hotel, grounds and staff! Rooms could use an update but overall excellent experience. The infinity pool had an amazing view, that makes you want to stay there all day. Top notch staff at reception, restaurant and cleaning crew.
