Assa Maris Beach Hotel

Architecturally beautifully designed with lots of flowers and trees. The rooms are spacious, with large terraces. The bathroom should be renovated. The food is tasty but not a huge selection, maybe because it's pre-season, but that's what you get from a 3 star hotel. The staff with manager Yorgos is hard working and friendly. The sandy beach with a gentle entrance to the sea has a large number of sunbeds and umbrellas for every guest. All in all I highly recommend this hotel to anyone who wants a real vacation without too much action.

This hotel is... shall we say... rather interesting. First, the location is fantastic and beach is beautiful. The grounds are very nice, and staff were friendly. However, while it appears some updates have been done, the rooms are not really up to par -- nothing huge, but a lot of little annoyances or things that are just odd. The included dinner was okay, though not on par with most of the other places we stayed in Greece. My traveling companion is from the US and lives in Romania -- apparently this hotel is very much an older Eastern European style of resort which is popular with the older generations from that part of the continent. For US or western European tourists, I would not recommend staying here as the experience isn't really geared to our expectations.

The rooms are very dirty and stinky. It's beyond just dirty. The pool is green, every furniture is so old, dirt and gross, that you can’t sit or sleep. The bathroom was nightmare- really stinky with dirt. The towels,the mattresses and the sheets in the room were gross. NO MATTER HOW DESPERATE YOU ARE. DO NOT COME TO THIS HOTEL.

First of all, we were been here 4 years ago and we have chosen to return in this hotel because we liked this place (beach and sea), but returning in this year was very big mistake. If serious conditions in rooms are terrible, no any reparations since foundation, fridge woks like perforator it's impossible to sleep when it works, bathroom is extremely awfully with lack of shampoos soup or other stuff. Secondly, the conditions of food, it's impossible to eat it. Moreover when you are going to eat you have to deal with a lot of flies in restaurant and with rotten vegetables and 2 types of food without taste as on breakfast as on diner. Also, prices for drinks ( water, cola, coffee and other) are overpriced for many times. All in all this hotel had become terrible and i can strongly affirm that i will never came there again and suggest you to don’t try it and choose another one. Also one of very important thing that i had written a comment on booking about all problems that i mentioned in this review but my comment was replaced with absolutely apposite words.

I had been here years ago and thought it would be pleasant to return. However, it was a hugely letting-down experience with unreliable customer service. I had proceeded with a booking over the phone, where the type of the room, the respective dates and the price was agreed. The motive was that paying them directly (even though with the prices quoted online) I could help a medium business to avoid unnecessary fees, even though I had no direct benefit myself. Huge mistake. I did not receive any written confirmation, so I proceeded with calling 3 times in a period of 10 days, and I was invariably told to not worry at all and that the booking is safe and guaranteed. After 2 weeks of the initial phone call, I eventually received the confirmation in writing: the initially just over €900 reservation for 4 nights was increased to just below €1300. When I called to (naively) question whether there was a mistake, I was dismissed with “we never agreed anything”. Obviously they chose to increase their prices once they reached closer to the reservation dates by not honouring already made bookings. Needless to say, I am never returning to that hotel again and, unfortunately, I will be sharing my experience with anyone I know who is planning to visit Chalkidiki for them to avoid similar treatment by this establishment. This hotel’s attitude is damaging the tourism sector, decreases any transactional trust, and leaves customers with little choice than going through intermediates and not bring any business directly to them. However, I thank them for the lesson learnt, albeit the hard way: one has to toughen up, look after personal interests only, and be less caring for smaller businesses by going through intermediaries, to which the businesses have to pay additional fees.

Beautiful hotel, right on the long sandy/pebbly beach, surrounded by pine forests, palm trees and flowers. Amazing and friendly staff. The food was very good. Very clean and well maintained. It's in the middle of nowhere and takes 90 mins from the airport, well worth it though. My only criticism is that you had to pay for drinks at the evening meal, including water or juice.

The hotel has been recently taken over by the new Manager, George. It is a beautiful hotel right on the long sandy/pebbly beach. The sand is full of silver glitter and looks so pretty. The hotel is surrounded by palm trees, roses, flowers and is very well maintained and clean. The food is incredible, with lots of choice, thanks to the brilliant chef Kostas. We went Half Board and my only criticism is that you have to pay for drinks with your evening meal, even water or juice. The hotel is in the middle of nowhere and it takes 90 minutes to get there from Thessaloniki Airport. However, it is definitely worth it. We wish the hotel every success for the future.
