Platýs Gialós

The room was clean, spacious, and the bed was very comfortable. The hotel is located right by the beach and has a private beach area for hotel guests. There is also a supermarket about 200 meters away, and Kalamata promenade is only around 10–15 minutes’ walk from the hotel. The swimming pool area was nice and large, but it was very noisy with many children, and the music was played quite loudly. I also noticed that people from outside the hotel were allowed to use the pool, so it did not feel reserved only for hotel guests. The bathroom sink did not drain properly, and there was very little equipment in the room, such as an electric kettle. Also, even as hotel guests, we had to order a minimum of €5 per person to use the hotel’s sunbeds on the beach. Overall, the hotel has a good location, clean and spacious rooms, and a nice pool area, but it could be improved when it comes to noise, room facilities, and guest-only access to the pool.

I was nervous about this resort reading prior reviews. We were upgraded on check in to a sea view room, it was beautiful. The front desk staff were all very helpful and answered all my questions. Our check out was later on in the evening and the hotel gave us towels and a place to store our bags so we could enjoy another beach day. They also have a shower stall near the lobby. We used the loungers next door at yialo yialo for 30 euro each front row, 25 euro each for second row and back. Hotel transport contacted us via what’s app to arrange transfers. To town was 35 euro each way. From airport it was 40 euro. Breakfast was continental style buffet, a variety of choices. The beach and location were gorgeous. If you’re booking a budget room then expect that, that’s the same for any resort. If you book the sea view you should have no complaints. This was a great hotel for us (middle aged mom and teen daughter).

I would 100% recommend this Hotel! We felt very welcomed and relaxed! The only inconvenience was a blonde waitress at the main restaurant, which was very rude to us. But outside from that, the staff was very helpful and nice! Great hotel.
