100 Rizes Seaside Resort

The sandy beach is the standout, with clear water and a sea that stays calm. It’s a great place to relax, enjoy nature and eat well: the food was excellent, and so were the drinks. We’d happily visit this outstanding hotel again soon.

The views and that amazing beach are what I’ll remember all year. We booked 100 rizes for three nights for our anniversary, and the place itself felt magical, rooms included. I’d considered coming back despite the breakfast being well below what I expected. The coffee was pretty average, and the pies were pre-made rather than homemade, which is what I’m used to at Top Mani hotels with the same rating. What changed my mind was how things went when we had to leave unexpectedly on the second day because of a medical situation in the family. We checked out after the second night and rushed to Kalamata hospital. Reception was cold when we explained, and only said the minimum, “We hope it’s nothing serious.” They checked us out without mentioning the prepaid third night we’d lose, then just reminded us about the extra 40 euros on our pool bar bill. It wasn’t about the money. I understand it’s a business and high season, but some empathy would have mattered. They could at least have offered something, like asking us to come back next summer for a complimentary night or dinner. The gesture is what counts. For me that matters more than a pretty hotel, so I don’t think I’d return.

We had such a good stay. The room and facilities were incredible, and the whole place felt relaxing. The staff were warm, attentive and did more than they had to to make us feel welcome. Highly recommend it.

The little bay, the classic architecture and the care in the building details all make this place feel special. There are old olive trees everywhere, plus an olive garden by the bay that gives you shade. Add the view, the sea, the quiet and the sandy beach, with not too many guests around, and it all feels unique and really lovely.
