Sani Resort

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Sani Beach Hotel, and it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome and attended to our every need with genuine warmth and professionalism. The location is simply stunning, with breathtaking views of the Aegean Sea and beautifully landscaped gardens. Our room was spacious, impeccably clean, and offered a fantastic view of the sea. The amenities were top-notch, including a luxurious spa, multiple heated outdoor swimming pools, and a variety of dining options that catered to all tastes. One of the highlights of our stay was the exceptional dining experience. Each restaurant offered a unique culinary journey, with fresh, locally sourced ingredients and exquisite flavors. The breakfast buffet was particularly impressive, with a wide selection of delicious options to start the day. The activities and entertainment provided were excellent, ensuring there was never a dull moment. Whether it was relaxing on the pristine beach, participating in water sports, or enjoying the evening shows, there was something for everyone. The management and the organization are the best I have ever seen in any hotel. Special praise goes to Ms. Nikoleta Christodoulou for an exceptional client relationship management! Overall, Sani Beach Hotel exceeded our expectations in every way. It is the perfect destination for a relaxing and luxurious getaway. We can’t wait to return!

Lovely hotel and food was very good. Room was smaller than I expected but clean. The staff were very nice and extremely helpful. What let it down for me were 2 things. Location and too many children. The location of the hotel isn’t great as it’s in the middle of nowhere. No town/village to walk to. No local shops. The very few shops in the Marina are designer and obviously expensive. There is a chemist & small food shop but prices are ridiculous. There is also a small shop in hotel and again expensive. Other issue for me was the hotel was over run with children under 5! If you like children great but if you want to eat and sunbathe in relative peace forget it! The only adult restaurant is small and didn’t have the full range of food choices as the main buffet. The main buffet was like eating in a crèche with screaming kids, so very noisy. The children have a lovely pool, play area and access to a beach but as there is no dedicated pool and beach area for adults they were in the area behind the hotel which was meant to be a tranquil area and not in their lovely dedicated children’s pool so yet again very noisy and not at all tranquil!!

Just returned from our stay at Sani Beach. Overall would highly recommend! In the past we used to stay at PORTO SANI when kids were tiny (it is perfect for babies and primary school age kids) but now as teenagers they can experience so much more in the resort. However, few things worth mentioning in case these are a dealbreaker for some. We stayed at Junior Suite Sea View on the 2nd floor and the bathroom was VERY dated & the housekeeping lacks - our room floor has not been properly cleaned neither on day of arrival nor at any point during the stay. The rooms are not soundproof and half way through the stay, seems like a guest swap over took place, we had to listen to another guest snore terribly at nights and listen to someone whistling in the shower in the mornings. Again, not the end of the world just a bit annoying. Some towels've seen better days, few had obvious black stains. The view of the sea from the room however was spectacular 24/7!!! Complimentary daily bottled water and coffee capsules refill is amazing! The concierge WhatsApp is a bit hit & miss, it does seem like you are chatting to a bot half the time, generic answers which sound more like an AI generated reply and when booking the activities people at the concierge desk actually do NOT have access to the live systems on locations and are not able to assist in anyway which is frustrating as you cannot book the wanted activity online because everything gets booked quickly but people don't show up and their spots don't get filled as there is an obvious disconnect between what goes on in the internal systems which leaves kids disappointed; to be frank it is not very fair when someone books the same activity twice but then doesn't show up while other people don't get a chance at all. 95% of people we dealt with were very helpful and accommodating: Olga and Xenia at guest relations/ front desk. George at Ammos made our dinner with his smile and hospitality unlike his female colleagues who completely dismissed my daughter's requests for a blanket. Eva and Elma at Ergon on Marina are fabulous, two meals we had there were great (cheese pies are a big hit with the kids). Erica at Psaroyannos was very helpful (best moussaka in Sani!) Andrei at guest relations/front desk however does need to work on his customer service skills and smile. The food potions are very generous and the food is always fresh, there is a wide selection across all the hotels and the marina to choose from. The cost of water however is obscene: 8,5 euro for a bottle of 750ml Acqua Panna (at The Market at Sani Dunes) or 5,50/7 euro for a bottle of local water. What I absolutely disliked is how the waiters bring you most expensive water on the menu after you tell them you would like still/sparkling water. Honestly?! I get this is a way to make extra money and most likely they are trained to do this but SANI please don't treat guests as idiots - even the cheapest bottle of local water is extremely overpriced in the resort and everyone is aware of this. Don't take a piss - just bring the cheapest bottle of water to the table and if someone prefers a specific brand - they will make this known!!!! I much rather leave this money as a tip for the service for the staff's hard work than feeling like I am being robbed in this way and end up asking for a jug of tap water instead. The selection of complementary activities in the resort for adults and kids is absolutely amazing! Sea World diving school is so worth mentioning too. Kids did their open water PADI and loved every minute of this experience. Audrey, Kostas, Panos are great, patient and very accommodating. Breathwork class with Sophia at Bousoulas Yoga garden was very therapeutic.

Great resort. Super friendly and service minded staff. Plenty of activities to do for everyone. Great food. Plenty of sun beds by the pools and beaches. Never crowded. The only minus is that the whole resort is like a big village full of tourist and staff. If you are looking for genuine Greek atmosphere, you won't find it here. With that said, I would still come back.

At the beach the staff starts to throw you out at 17.15 o clock (beach closes at 18.00) because they want to clean up. They start to make it uncomfortable by closing your umbrella, and by cleaning your bed while you are still lying on it. No joke. "Please lift your feet so i can clean the bed". Do I need to tell you more? A nice hotel but all in all a mediocre experience. Not again, thanks

My stay at Sani Club was amazing. The care and attention to detail from all staff was faultless. In particular I was very well looked after by Ioanna. She took the time to get to know my children and was warm and welcoming. She was reliable and responsive. She went above and beyond our expectations, providing us with somewhere to freshen up after check out but before a night flight and also helping with a meal we missed on the first night that was part of a half board package. We will be back again next year!

We visited Sani Club with our 6 month old and 3 year old for our first family holiday and we cannot fault it! We were so looked after from the get go by Petros and I was able to book everything we needed via email before we even got there and it was all taken care of. In terms of things the baby needed, it was all there and sorted by the time we got to our room. The restaurants were amazing and our 3 year old loved the shows! The staff at breakfast even remembered our coffee orders. Everyone was so attentive. I have actually never been to a resort like this before but it seemed like they do everything others offer, but just better! We literally cannot wait to come back next year!

One of the nicest we've stayed in Europe. The resort was well maintained with the greenery well pruned and managed. Paths were clean and little to no litter. Beaches were combed in the mornings and towels were provided at the beach and on the chairs by the pool. Pools were heated, we went in Oct so temps were just about ok to go sea and pool. Accomodations were very nice and well fitted out and when we went lots of chill out lounges we could use; however it was the last week of the resort so wasn't particularly busy. We didn't have enough towels and missing a bed on arrival but the staff are all very friendly and quick to respond. So, a few things to note... Full board wasn't quite what I expected. There was a "dine around" menu which was ok, but in some restaurants quite limiting and not much for children. A la carte is available but you get €25 per adult allowance but majority on the menu exceeds this so you will be paying more for food. There was a fine dining restaurant we went to and was a very poor experience. First they sat us all outside and said couldn't accommodate us with no heating despite having booked. Entire restaurant was pretty much empty apart from 2 small tables. The food was not very "fine" and there was no craving any more of the food. The tiramisu was a big splodge of cream tasting of the dessert... Drinks were ridiculously expensive...!! We had 3 milkshakes and a non-alcoholic soft drink and came up to around €56... Beer is around €8 up to €25. Water is NOT free at the restaurants and is about €8 per bottle. Water is free in the room, but you need to request. Overall, a great resort in Europe, but do expect to pay very high prices, even more than the city prices in some cases

We stayed in a Suite in Sani Club and had a personal concierge called Mila. She was absolutely incredible and did everything in her power to make sure our stay was world class. The food and drink was great with amazing breakfast and a good selection of restaurants on the dine around menu, the best of which was a greek restaurant in the Marina (I can't quite remember the name). As you'd imagine it's excellent for children of any age - we brought our 4 month old and he was well taken care of. Would highly recommend to any of my friends.

Teodora Todorova

Our stay at Sani Club was amazing! The location, the beach, the rooms, the food - everything is absolutely perfect and would reccomend it to people with little kids. Many thanks to Harry and Kristela from Olympus restaurant and to Sampson from the beach service - they were extremely friendly and made our stay even better. We would definitely be back!

Amazing dinner tonight with friends and family, perfect food served warm with mouth melting sweet dish. The perfect food is always served with a perfect wine, amazing service and all coordinated with perfect timing. Thank you for the hospitality

Sani Dunes Resort is a gem that truly exceeded our expectations! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a seamless check-in process. The resort is impeccably maintained, with beautiful landscaping that instantly sets a relaxing tone. The on-site dining options are excellent, with a variety of delicious dishes that cater to all tastes. Overall, Sani Dunes Resort provided an unforgettable experience with exceptional service, comfort, and convenience. We can't wait to return and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a perfect beachside retreat!

"Exclusive" resort for the "beautiful people". A shopping mall on the beach that has taken over the best part of the wonderful Sani beach. Avoid it like the plague and go to the other free beaches nearby to enjoy the sand and the pine forest.

A top class 5 star resort that was utterly superb for a recharge. We had booked Sani Club but called the day before we arrived and were offered an alternative to Sani Dunes and an upgrade. As a retired couple it turned out this was more suited to those without young children. A very well run hotel. It was utterly perfect, a utopian paradise. 5 star prices however the level of service (thank you Aria) the standard of the facilities and quality of food exceeded expectations. There are numerous activities including daily Pilates classes which one of us enjoyed! Padi diving, top class tennis courts and instructors but no golf. Also live very professional entertainment every evening, we just attended one as we mostly slept, ate and relaxed. There are some 26 restaurants to choose from. We were on half board so were able to eat at most restaurants using the dine around set menu, however we also ate at others without the set menus where the small allowance of 25 euros per person would be deducted from your bill. Most starters were in excess of 25 euros. One of our favourite restaurants was called Elia led by a particularly brilliant charismatic manager. Although I believe the resort was close to full you never felt that it was. Plenty of sun beds. A reasonably strict rule of no reserving beds, although this did happen sadly on our last few days. This was highlighted to our lovely concierge who brought it to the attention of the management and hopefully they will continue to disallow this awful practice! We arrived in the last few days of August and stayed a week. A wonderful experience and now both fully recharged!

The Sani resort is extremely clean and most of the staff are very helpful. Unfortunately due to the location of the resort the Sani company feel it is ok to overprice absolutely everything they are selling, whether in the Market or in a restaurant be prepared to pay over the odds for everything. They run a "Dine Around" option which limits your choices of food dramatically however if you digress from said scheme you will be charged massively. At one restaurant we were charged an additional 200 Euros after our discount, we only had two courses and a drink each! There are signs up at the pool saying Adult Only and despite the complex being quiet (May 2024) these areas definitely weren't Adult Only. Staff were not interested in sorting this.

Sani Asterias hotel is another level, the staff are all amazing, the white sandy beaches are beautiful and peaceful, the restaurants food is the best quality and choice, reception is glorious design and the staff are excellent. The spa is amazing had a massage with Eva which was the best I’ve ever had the overall quality and experience is first class plus

A holiday paradise. 2 hour south of Thessaloniki, Sani Resort is an outstanding beach side chill out location.

Jeff Westgarth

Another great holiday at the Sani Asterias Upgraded rooms on the beachfront, which are superb.

Janet Lloyd

This rates as my top holiday hotel. It is the most amazing place. The staff,the position,the views,the restaurants are amongst the best I have ever experienced. This hotel has top class management and the staff working within this structure are amongst the happiest and friendliest I have ever had the pleasure to meet. This hotel, and the resort that it nestles in is unique,and a place I defy any discerning traveller to find fault with. It keeps enticing my husband and I back year after year. We never tire of this place.

Arik Sela

We are frequent travellers to luxury hotels. Sani Asterias must be one of the top resorts we ever stayed in. Immaculate friendly service, top class maintenance and facilities & attentive management. Top 5 stars!

Our stay at Porto Sani was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the team made us feel incredibly welcome, delivering a level of service that truly exemplifies a 5-star experience. The room we stayed in was luxurious which was room 215, equipped with all the high-end amenities you would expect from a top-tier resort. Porto Sani is a perfect destination for families. We loved that everything was within walking distance, including the beautiful marina and pristine beach. The resort's transfer buggy service was a fantastic convenience, making it easy to explore every corner of the property with minimal effort. The buffet offered a great variety of dishes, maintaining high standards throughout. Our 7-year-old enjoyed the selections, and we found it to be ideal for couples as well, thanks to the spacious layout that allowed for privacy even during the busy high season. A special shout-out to Vlad from Sani Beach. We can't wait to return to Porto Sani, this little slice of paradise some point in the future!

Porto Sani was our first trip abroad with our 6 month old and staying at this particular resort made it so much easier! The whole resort is superb for children and the staff are excellent. The transfer from the airport included a car seat, we had a cot, changing mat and steriliser provided in our room. The restaurants were excellent and made weaning a lot easier. Big thank you to Albi and Elsa in the Artemis restaurant and Sofia at Elia for their excellent customer service. Highly recommend and we will be back next year!

Travelled with our 5yo and had a great experience at Porto Sani. Our personal concierge Maya was amazing from start to finish, and the hospitality everywhere in the resort was top notch. Would recommend Bird Watching with Danny (friendly, insightful and responsive to our needs) and Volvo tour with Vangelis (funny, friendly, knowledgeable and surprised us with special drinks!).

Gisele and Andreas Frank

Well managed, outstanding 5 star resort for families. Plenty of space, great facilities and services. Sani Club, Beach, Porto and Dunes share some of the facilities. The dine around offer works well and guarantees a good variety of culinary experiences. Our concierge Alexis and the whole team were very customer oriented and went above and beyond to ensure the best possible stay. The app facilitates planning and booking of pilates, yoga, climbing, sparta, and all other trainings and experiences. Transportation within the resort also works very well with the golf cars. Overall, a very pleasant experience.

Wanting Low

Truly a 5-star experience - a luxury for both the parents and the children. The pools were exceptional and the private beach with towel service was a luxury. What stood out the most was the warm hospitality we’ve received throughout our one-week stay. We were warmly welcomed at Porto Sani and were pleasantly amazed by the hospitality of the staff there, ranging from the receptionists to the waiters and waitresses to the housekeeping team. My daughter had so much fun interacting with the staff, who went to extra mile to provide an enjoyable experience for our entire family. A special shout-out to our personal concierge Demetrios, Angela at Sea Breeze bar, Diana and Albi at Artemis and the team at Elia for making our stay such a personalised and enjoyable one.
