Akrathos Beach Hotel

We had a nice holiday. The hotel is pretty much what it says on the tin. We were fortunate enough to be upgraded to a superior suite although it was a bit of hike to the accommodation at the top of the hill. The room was very nice and clean with 2 bathrooms. Being on the ground floor though it did feel like you were staying in an Olive grove and spoiled the view a bit but can’t complain as I’d booked the cheaper garden room and had been upgraded. There was Snake repellent in the gardens but didn’t see any. The hotel is set on a hillside with lovely views out to see and lots of fruit and olive trees all about. It was very tempting to pinch a few pomegranates bit didn’t. Nice pool area. The pool itself is 33mts long and quite deep. Perfect for swimming lengths. A bit cool but didn’t feel it when you got started. Lots of people are negative about the AI drinks and to be fair they are bang average for AI. Similar to other Greek 4 Star we have stayed in. The only real negative I can say is that The Restaurant has a bit of a Works Canteen feeling to it. The hotel is a bit remote. The nearest town is Ouranoupoli which is 1 and 3 quarter miles away not 2km. Well worth a visit. Lots of shops and restaurants and had a nice feel to it. Boats trips here as well. The road is not that dangerous and it’s easily walkable. We did it 3 times without issues and we are in our sixties. The nearest supermarket is here with good prices. The one in the hotel is mega expensive. If we come to this area again we would probably stay in the town as there are some lovely apartments there and close to amenities. All in all a good stay. Try to ignore the negative reviews everything is pretty good really.
