Akroyali Hotel & Villas Reviews

Cozy and quiet place, with good food and breakfast. Very attentive, especially at reception, a charming girl.

The hotel was beautiful, it is right beside the port and the beach is 150m either side away, The staff especially Anna Maria were excellent, they cleaned our rooms everyday even on a Sunday. George our taxi driver was the best company wherever he took us. I can't express how beautiful the food was, everything was perfection. The views from our room was port side and was breath taking.

. My wife and I stayed at the Akroyali in Agias Andréas for one week. We had booked a sea view room and we were allocated one on the second floor. There is a small lift so no issues getting luggage up to the room. The hotel is situated right on the harbour side and our room had sun in the morning and shade in the afternoon. The room, including the bathroom, was spacious, simply furnished but had a hairdryer, safe, aircon, TV and fridge. It’s fair to say the rooms are a little dated but that’s not a criticism just an observation. The aircon worked well, there were plenty of sockets and the beds were comfortable. There is a kettle and cups in the room but we swapped these for two mugs from the breakfast area, with permission of course. Towels were changed every day and bedding I think, ever other day. Now as those used to Greece will not be surprised to hear, the bathroom is almost a wet room. There is a raised edge around the shower but it and the curtain don’t meet sufficiently to stop water getting onto the floor. There is a drain and it does tend to dry within a few hours. However if a wet floor bothers you bring a sponge type cloth and just mop it or use the bath mat. Standing facing the curtain while using the shower does help reduce the impact as well. The balcony is small with a table and two chairs, there is however nowhere to dry anything. Luckily we have a travel clothesline with a hook on either end and pegs so we were ok. The view however is lovely even if in the heat you cannot quite make out the other side of the bay. WiFi was a little hit and miss on the second floor, better on the balcony and downstairs. There is secure parking just a cross the road. Breakfast is a buffet but what a buffet, there is plenty of variety and everything is replenished as it runs out. If you want hot water for tea or yogurt and honey just ask. Some people had scrambled eggs and omelettes but I don’t know if there was a charge for those or not. The staff, what can I say, they are all very friendly and helpful, many don’t speak very good English but this is Greece and their English is generally much better than our Greek. Special mention has to be made of the lovely Ana Maria, who does speak very good English and was very helpful at all times. Agios Andreas itself is a small village/town on the road from Kalamata to Koroni. It’s popular with Greeks at weekends and holidays. Busy season is July and August but it livened up a little at the weekend when we were there. There are two beaches, the one south of the hotel (turn right as you face the harbour) is the best. There are around 20 pairs of sun beds with umbrellas but plenty of space to plant your towel if you wish. The taverna/apartments that run the sun beds requires you to spend at least 7 euros and then the beds are free. Toilets are available in their building at the back of the beach. I imagine it’s a lot closer to how Greek locations were before the package tourist industry took over. There are

A small family hotel. The hotel is divided into 2 wings. The hotel area and the villas area. The hotel area is at a higher level than the villas area and you should sleep there. The hotel staff is very nice and helpful, the hotel restaurant is very good and the breakfast was excellent

Picked pomegranates off the tree in front of our huge garden room, ample parking, quiet little town, 10% discount at the hotel dining patio overlooking a tiny harbor, wonderful folks checking us in. Good food too.

The Greeks already set the bar very high in terms of hospitality, politeness, standards of cleanliness and good cuisine. Here, everything ensures the perfect stay: a warm welcome, impeccably clean rooms with views of the mountains or the small port. However, the main reason to stay here is the fabulous restaurant for dinner and breakfast. Wonderful menu with fish, meat, vegetarian options all cooked with their own olive oil - and desserts too which you don't always find in Greek restaurants (honey cakes, pies etc.) The breakfast is just fabulous - home-cooked cakes, savoury dishes, fresh fruit, freshly squeezed orange juice - all with a peaceful view of the port and the mountains of Mani in the background. This family hotel/restaurant really is a hidden gem. We came here two years ago; we made a detour to come again this year and will definitely come back. Thank you Akroyali!

Beware there are mice in the rooms! Unfortunately the worst accommodation I have ever stayed in. I arrived with my family on the 1st of August in an apartment at villa Ganios and in the evening a mouse visited our kitchen cupboards. When it dawned and we spoke to the hotel manager he told us that it is normal to have rodents as the accommodation is in a garden. Lack of professionalism and awareness of the responsibility borne by the person who grants accommodation to families with children. A complaint was made to the relevant services.

We had a wonderful time at this property. Just writing this review makes me want to go back. The welcome at the reception was delightful from an always smiling and friendly girl whose name unfortunately I don't remember. Exceptional cleanliness of the room and common areas. Comfortable bed, nice furnishings. Varied and good quality breakfast. Possibility to leave the car in the private parking. It is possible to dine in the evening in their restaurant (we had a truly delicious fish dinner). One of the places that we will remember with most nostalgia among the many where we have stayed in twenty years in Greece and where we hope to return soon.

An excellent family hotel overlooking a picturesque harbor. Clean and comfortable rooms. Wonderful breakfast with a wide variety, pies, handmade sweets, jams, fruit, all fresh. In the restaurant you will find homemade food, tasty and of high quality, the service is incredibly fast. The staff helpful and kind. The parking lot under arbors in a garden full of trees. We highly recommend it and will go there again!!!

Excellent hotel in all respects! Clean and comfortable rooms, polite and very helpful staff, wonderful breakfast based on fresh Messinian products and excellent quality food in the hotel restaurant. The view of the picturesque harbor is what you need for relaxation! The hotel's parking hides a wonderful surprise, a garden full of a variety of trees with tags stating their names and from which a playground emerges! Both our son and we enjoyed them! We highly recommend the Akrogiali hotel and we will be happy to go again in the future!

Small, simple but clean hotel, located by the sea in the small resort of Agios Andreas. Private parking in front of the hotel. Decent room. Hearty breakfast and possibility to eat in the evening at the hotel restaurant. Very welcoming staff and boss.
