Viatges a Loutra Smokovou

Excellent

The breakfast was AMAZING. The pool was AMAZING but closed at 7pm, which is much earlier than we are used to in the US. The only issue I had was that when I booked through Expedia, I chose the specific room that I wanted. When I arrived, they had switched me to a different room based on the number of people in my reservation. My room was supposed to be for four people, even though there were only two of us on the reservation. Since I had booked a bigger room, I invited my other cousin to join us at the last minute, but they had switched us to a two person room and charged an extra $25 for an extra bed.

Stunning property nestled between a couple of other related properties. Very quiet and beautiful grounds, rooms and accommodations. The staff are incredible; friendly, welcoming and eager to help make the stay a pleasure - and it was. We spent 5 days here; 5 days of that truly decadent breakfast, 5 days enjoying the luxurious grounds and service. Lana and the staff here made us feel like family. Arkoudi, the nearby town, is wonderful and has some great restaurants and a really nice bay beach if you find you want to explore outside this Grecotel resort area. My work brought us here, and it's been a lovely discovery - we would like to return to the area and the Mandola Rosa for another trip in the future!

Outstanding property and stay - perhaps service can be improved a bit more. There was a bit of miscommunication re towel replacement and water refill. Lastly, I would encourage the hotel to review its policies regarding smoking (particularly cigars) in outdoor dining areas, as well as the display of sexually suggestive content around the pool, especially considering the presence of young children.
