Hotel Mesra keluarga di Polis

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.

Please don’t listen to bad reviews, we still went after reading them and so glad we did and we had an amazing time. We’re looking at going back next year, as for Michael being rude I cannot believe that. He’s the most genuine helpful person we have met on holiday. He bent over backwards to help with anything we needed. As for lights out yes the bar closes early but plenty of other bars locally. The area is close to a lot of lovely little restaurants and bars and a short walk to the beach, and bus service is good if you want to go further out. As Michael says it’s a family run hotel, they do need to sleep at some point. There their for breakfast, lunch, dinner and pool bar as well as reception 24 hours. So all you cranky guests who are probably trying to blame someone because you don’t know how to entertain yourselves please do not blame the hard working staff 😡
