Please take no notice of other reviews which said bad things about this hotel, just got back from a great week in this hotel in Kalimaki , we were looked after from entering the reception taken to apartment which had a nice garden view , good food variety for all meals always something for everybody, staff very friendly hotel bar staff excellent shout out to John, Emiliano, Dennis, pool bar great shout out to Dennis and his workmates forgot his name, allround had a excellent week in this great resort

Back a week ago from Zante where we stayed at The Golden Sun Hotel. What a lovely clean place, the rooms, restaurant and pool and facilities are spotless, the gardens are very well looked after and beautiful. We were all inclusive which was great, food was ok a bit samey but to be expected. My mum is Gluten free so sometimes she found it ok some nights better than others but a decent selection. The room we had was spacious and overlooked the garden which was nice, the shower was brilliant tho we had the bathroom sink in the room outside the bathroom which was weird but we got used to it. The planes are very close to the airport so you saw them fly over head closely but it wasn't annoying. The pool is definitely not the coldest I've been in which was great but refreshing and is def needed it's very clean and I enjoyed it. The staff are lovely and very welcoming. They are one of the reasons we would go back. Nothing was ever to much. I do think they may need a few more sun loungers as they were all taken for at breakfast but the beach is a 5 min walk down the road so all good. While I was there for I noticed a wee black cat that had a wee kitten so I fed it everyday, there are a few cats about as an animal and nature lover it was the least I could do. There's plenty of nature around the area. We would def return to Kalamaki and to The Golden Sun

Check in was swift and painless. Shown to our room personally by receptionist and concierge. Safe in room provided and free of charge, room spacious and very clean plus air conditioning that did a superb job in the ever increasing heat. Fridge and hair drier provided. Walk in spacious shower. Location very good about 150 meters from the beach and about 10 minute walk to the main part of town where various bars and restaurants can be found. Various trips available via street vendors and very reasonable. Pool area very spacious and clean(staff constantly collecting spare cups and glasses) not much of a problem getting a sunbed unless you want one with an umbrella as people realised how hot the sun got and needed shelter. Drinks normal AI standard so not complaining about that. Food was nice but only criticism I had was the choice wasnt varied enough for a 4 star hotel. Staff were were always pleasant and helpful from the cleaners to reception staff. All told for our first visit it was very enjoyable and we will probably return. However as there are a multitude of places to eat and drink nearby we may try bed and breakfast or half board if available.

Before staying at this hotel I read some really bad reviews particularly focused on the food and was a bit concerned. But upon arriving my concerns were blown out of the window. We've had the most amazing stay. Staff are incredibly polite and helpful. The rooms and whole place in general is spotless. The pool area is clean and well maintained and the food is wonderful. The beach is literally 5 minutes down the road, a couple of restaurants less than 5 minutes in the other direction. And within a 15 minute walk there are supermarkets, gift shops and plenty more restaurants and bars.I do intend to come back to this hotel, location, staff and comfort was 10/10

We really enjoyed this hotel. It was absolutely spotless and the staff work really hard to keep it that way. The rooms are nice and comfortable and cleaned daily - yes the sink is in the hallway which is weird but no big deal. The pool area is really nice and relaxing and there are plenty of sunbeds - if you want an umbrella you are best to get down there by about 8am otherwise not a problem. We went to the entertainment on Friday night which was really good fun. The only thing that was a bit hit and miss was the food, but no way near as bad as some of the comments on here say. We always found something to eat and it was always hot. The ***** of Kalamaki is a 10/15 minute walk away where you will find lots of bars and restaurants (we loved the Rose and Crown pub, lovely atmosphere and one of the few places where the wine is nice). Beach nearby is a bit disappointing as most of it is made up of private beaches for hotels but the sea is warm and we prefer the pool anyway. All in all a lovely holiday.

Grab a sun bed early I mean early!!! End of first week great hotel as always, staff were great no issues apart from at times pool music was rather loud everything you want in yours rooms daily cleaning service food was fine can be busy at times . John and Minni keep the bar flowing no long waits happy to return again P.S. room tax is 7 euros per night per room paid on arrival .
