Sithonia Village

The beach is sandy but the water has lots of grass and rocks, and it's very shallow. You have to go more than 50 meters out to swim, though it's nice for small children. The hotel food is average and low quality, and kitchen hygiene is very poor, so if you're picky about food, better skip it. The hotel is in a very quiet spot among pine trees, close to the beach. Rooms are renovated and cleaned daily, and it suits families well. I gave two stars because the beach chairs and umbrella are free, and the beach is nearby.

The rooms are okay and the location is good, but the restaurant was awful. The plates, cutlery and drinking glasses were all very dirty, and the food was bad. WiFi showed full bars but worked like it had just one. For a low-budget hotel, I suppose you get what you pay for, but it's rated three stars and I think it should be 2.5.

For what we paid, I expected at least working internet and water with dinner. There wasn't any WiFi connection even though the signal showed, so I had to use mobile data. They didn't offer anything to drink at dinner, not even water. The food was awful and had no variety. The room was dirty and full of mosquitoes, with no mosquito nets or clothes dryers. There was usually no hot water. The shower had no hanger, so I had to hold it in one hand and use shampoo with the other, and there was nowhere to put soap. No towels were provided. I asked three times, and they seemed surprised I hadn't received any. The sheets had yellow stains, so I asked for a change, but two days later they put the same stained sheet back. After what felt like my 100th trip to reception, they said there was nothing they could do and I had to wait until tomorrow. The TV wasn't working either. We reported it, but nobody came to check after saying they would. The beach is 100 metres from the hotel, but it's small and dirty, so you have to walk 15 minutes to the central beach. There's no pool. It's a quiet place for pensioners, with few restaurants or other places to go. I definitely don't recommend it.

Maria at reception and the restaurant waiters were very kind. The location and beach are great, and the rooms are good. Breakfast and dinner had a varied selection, but the dishes were very spicy. The internet was a disaster, there was none at all.
