Porto Galini Seaside Resort & Spa

Porto Galini Seaside Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent
"The best thing about this property was the private, fine-pebble beach. The sea is beautiful here, and there are plenty of loungers. Our room was fairly basic, but very clean with good AC and the staff were great. Breakfast was very good too but there are only two coffee machines for all the guests so there was always a wait. One thing to be aware of is that the hotel does not allow outside guests onto the property at all - not even to dine - and this is enforced by a guard at the gate. You will also want a car or be prepared to use taxis, as there is not much within walking distance."
