Finde Hotels in Polis Chrysochous

We have just returned from the Souli Beach Hotel which is situated right on a very, very stoney beach, impossible to walk comfortably on, or go in the sea without beach shoes. The hotel is also situated right next to a very busy main road, so having a room overlooking the front of the hotel, bring ear plugs as morning rush hour traffic extremely noisy. Sea view rooms at the back of the hotel are very nice, but do not get any sun at anytime of the day. Rooms are very dated needing repair and update, someone said it's the same decor and bathroom tiles from when the hotel opened in 1960. We had a 3rd bed in our room which made moving around a tight squeeze. But on the up side the shower is good. The tv in the room only has 1 channel in English and programmes are hit and miss, no news channel, everything in Greek. There is nowhere on the balcony to dry towels, swim suites and the like, an air dryer would be nice to have. Rooms on pool side due to lack of sun find drying anything takes a while. We were disappointed that there was no lounge area with comfortable chairs and sofas where it would have been nice to sit and have a drink, there is a table, a two seater setter and a few plastic chairs, in fact a lot of plastic chairs everywhere. The pool is clean, plenty of sun lounger by the pool and on the lawns. The lawn area and gardens are lovely but A bit of landscaping wouldn't go amiss. Path ways on to the lawn would be nice as there are areas where the grass is very boggy, I lost my flip flop, and for an older person unsteady on their pins as the ground is uneven. Beware of the sprinklers that turn on between 3pm and 4pm. We ate twice in the resteraunt and that was enough. There are 2 wonderful resteraunt one next door The Peryiali Beach, the other a little further down Yialos resteraunt their food was excellent and Souli could take a lesson or two from them. Breakfast was plentiful but same old same old, a change would be nice. Can not fault the staff and service, very polite and helpful Just one word about the ladies and man who cleaned our room FANTASTIC. Souli Beach is suited more for adults, not much for children, not a child insight while we were there, the average age is 50 plus. Souli Beach with a little imagination, effort and of course money could be a really fantastic small family run hotel, with style and comfort, but it appears to rely on repeat clients and coach tours for lunches, and we feel it's getting a bit complacent about its upkeep, and appearance. We talked with other guests who also felt the same as we did. So as a first timer here, unfortunately we will not be returning unless a lot of improvements are made.

Das Zimmer war eine sehr schöne saubere 1 Schlafzimmer Suite. Wir nahmen Frühstück und Abendessen mit unserer Buchung ein. Das Essen war gut Familienpreis serviert in einem Buffetstil. Der Fokus des Aufenthaltes war das Personal!! Jede Person, die wir dort behandelten, war hilfreich und freundlich. Wenn wir ein Problem oder eine Frage hatten, hatten wir definitiv das Gefühl, dass sie sicherstellen wollten, dass sie alles getan haben, was sie uns zufriedenstellen könnten.

This is without doubt a good hotel and I’d agree with most of the good points that other reviewers have noted. There are however a few areas that need improving. The service is very hit & miss, sometimes you can get a drink near the pool easily, other times it takes ages. One day we had to wait 2 hrs for a salad at lunchtime (at the pool) and just kept being told the kitchen was busy. Evening meals are also quite long, we took 2.5hrs in the teppenyaki which wasn’t ideal with a child. Waiters in general don’t seem to be very happy or chatty and didn’t seem concerned about how long things take. The food is pretty good in general without being amazing. However what lets it down sometimes is the consistency. Dishes vary in quality massively from one day to the next - Greek salad one day has olives, the next day has no olives, the lava cake dessert was also totally different from one day to the next as well as the sashimi platter. You just never know what you’re going to get. Burger medium rare was almost raw, smoothies were also sometimes undrinkable as they were sometimes made with water not apple juice. A big point to mention is the pool, it’s very nice and the sun beds are the best we have seen BUT the water temp in October was only 19 degrees C when the air was 25+. This is fine if you want to swim lengths but not great for kids. It does keep it quiet though. The sea was 25 degrees but has a lot of sharp rocks. The sports facilities are great but the padel court was almost unplayable due to the poor quality balls - bring your own. Why spend so much building a great padel court and give guests rubbish old balls? There are some bikes to hire from nextbike and a good cycle path up and down the coast, the bikes are not very good but quite cheap to rent.
