Porto Sani

This hotel is truly special. • It’s 5-star luxury for both kids and adults alike. • We’ve been twice and will definitely be back again. • They have everything: • Great food. • Amazing kids’ facilities. • Incredible pools. • Lovely beaches. • Mega rooms. • Fantastic partnerships, including a top-notch tennis academy and Chelsea football training sessions. It’s very expensive, but if you can afford it, there’s nowhere in Europe that even comes close.

Today I had an amazing massage at Porto Sani.The whole experience was amazing,super relaxing.The care they took for me was so heartwarming.The girl that did my massage was called Georgia,such a sweet girl who does her work great.Thank you for the amazing experience as always.

This was our second visit to Porto Sani having previously come during peak July season a few years ago. The hotel remains very impressive: - it is a very attractive hotel and resort throughout, with fantastically maintained buildings and gardens. - the effect of the multi hotel with their own identity/one resort concept is that it has the feeling of being a small town, with the marina providing a lovely focal point, rather than just another soulless hotel that could be anywhere. - the breadth of facilities and activities available is impressive. The football academy in particular wipes the floor with anything offered by equivalent hotels. - the number of restaurant choices is excellent, and the ability to make use of the options at the other resort hotels is a great feature. - the majority of the staff work hard to ensure you have the best stay possible. There was inevitably a slightly different vibe in the October half term to that experienced over the summer. The hotel feels as if it is in wind down mode, with staff visibility and service levels (around the pool, at the beach, in restaurants) a little slower than on show in the summer and we experienced a small number of other frustrations: - access to activities / facilities / restaurants: in the October half term, real time availability of many of the popular activities (tree top adventure, Bear Grylls camp, kids club, evening restaurants) can be stretched. - F&B programme: notwithstanding that the choice is great, the dine around/credit system (adopted in place of the all inclusive approach at obvious rival hotels) has its shortcomings. The 'included set menu' options are often limited with the superior a la Carte options priced unrealistically, meaning the 'credit' is insufficient to cover most main courses. - Cost: as several other reviews have commented, the Sani takes 'captive resort' pricing a bit far: no complimentary water at meals is a particular bug bear. All that said, its hard not to leave the Sani happy and thinking it does these types of holidays better than anyone else in the top tier price bracket.

This was our second visit to Porto Sani having previously come during peak July season a few years ago. Many aspects of the hotel remain very impressive: - it is a very attractive hotel and resort throughout, with fantastically maintained buildings and gardens. - the effect of the multi hotel with their own identity/one resort concept is that it has the feeling of being a small town, with the marina providing a lovely focal point, rather than just another soulless hotel that could be anywhere. - the breadth of facilities and activities available is impressive. The football academy in particular wipes the floor with anything offered by equivalent hotels. - the number of restaurant choices is excellent, and the ability to make use of the options at the other resort hotels is a great feature. There was however a slightly different vibe in the October half term to that experienced over the summer. The hotel is very clearly in wind down mode, with staff visibility and service levels (around the pool, at the beach, in restaurants) far below that on show in the summer and we experienced a number of other frustrations given the expectations set by the price point / high end 5* status: - access to activities / facilities / restaurants: in the October half term, there is almost no real time availability at any of the popular activities (tree top adventure, Bear Grylls camp, kids club, evening restaurants). Unless you have the foresight to book 4-6 weeks in advance, expect disappointment. Plenty of the repeat visitors have figured this out meaning those visiting for the first time arrive to find a lot of the big selling points to the resort just aren't available, with staff effectively blaming the guests for not booking sooner. As word spreads, all that will happen is 4-6 weeks becomes 8-10 weeks. - F&B programme: notwithstanding that the choice is great, the dine around/credit system (adopted in place of the all inclusive approach at obvious rival hotels) can leave a bad taste and can be quite deceptive. The 'included set menu' options are often quite limited and seem designed to draw you to the far superior a la Carte options which are priced ludicrously: with the 'credit' insufficient to even cover the most basic dish (EUR 25 for a Greek salad, EUR ). The fact unused credit can not be applied to drinks with meals is also bizarre. - Cost: several other reviews have commented but the Sani takes 'captive resort' pricing to the extreme: no complimentary water at meals; EUR7.5 for basic water, for a coffee; EUR 13 for a kids milkshake; EUR20 for a glass of local wine; EUR13 for a bowl of fries...

Cannot fault the kind staff. Especially Riad at Artemis in Porto Sani. He cannot do enough for us and his attention to detail and politeness was amazing. Eugenia our personal helper was so lovely. We wish we could bring her home. She made our holiday. We will be booking the same time next year and recommending to everyone we know. My dad recently had heart surgery and his surgeon is now coming!

My stay was amazing… Everything was perfect from check-in to our check-out. Food was exceptional…Facilities were in excellent condition….Тhe staff were very helpful, especially mr. Kostas Zervas who was always response to our whims. Thank you!!!
