Sani Beach 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
