Grand Hotel Kalamata

Mantinia Bay Hotel

"Nice modern hotel in a great beach area with large rooms and nicely appointed with a little balcony. We had a view of the pool on the first floor which was nice. Check in was quick and pleasant. You get a sheet at check in to order your breakfast the next day and call the morning of and they will deliver it to either your room, by the pool or on the upper terrace. The choices are the usual ones but plentiful and very good. The beach is right across the street and they have beach chairs and umbrellas free of charge for you to use but there are not that many so get there early. We watched the sunset on the beach last night and it was beautiful. Lots of restaurants on that strip to,choose from although the hotel has this own little restaurant in the hotel or you can walk across the street and have a gorgeous view. Had their Mango Passion milkshake which was just okay. I think it was a nice choice for the money and would recommend it. They also sell olive oil, wine, pastas, etc in the lobby and are pretty reasonable. "

The Mansion - Kalamata Mediterranean Villas

"Our 3rd time at Kalamata Mediterrean Villas cemented our opinion that the host's, Georgios Andrianos', talent for supplying truly comfortable, well-equipped, happy places to stay for a vacation. The internet performance and speed are exceptionally good, so you could work - but really, why work during a vacation to Greece?-! We stayed in 3 different units, and we were obviously happy in all of them. The staff takes proactive measures when something like the city water supply shuts down for a day. Yes, they made sure to bring drinking water for us when made a "run" on the grocery stores and supermarkets and bought up all the water. This year's unit had a new pool. It was immaculately clean and nice. (Please remember that pools in Europe are rarely heated.) A few words about location: The Kalamata Mediterranean Villas are nicely located about 3 blocks from the southern end of the main shopping and walking street. Their location is "walkable.""

Garden City Resort

"We've been traveling around Greece for 20 days, and so far, nothing like this has happened to us. The room does NOT match the photos. The family room they assigned us was so small that our suitcase didn't fit (and we only had one suitcase out of four of us!): the plan they proposed was to help us unpack all our clothes and put them in drawers! When we asked if we could change hotels due to limited space, they told us they wouldn't refund our money since the plan offered was good. We wanted to speak to the manager, who didn't show up or want to talk to us. There was only one electrical outlet in the children's room. They didn't provide official complaint forms. The pool was tiny and packed with children and adults playing ball. Not at all a 5-star hotel! Expensive for what it is!"

Elysian Luxury Hotel and Spa

"Perfect stay in a perfect hotel! Modern, spacious rooms, good level of ammenities in the room, staff at the top. If you want to have dinner in the harbour, you have to walk for 20 minutes, but in a very safe area. Breakfast was fantastic as well, plenty of choices, freshly squeezed orange juice. The only limitation is related to the use of the pool, only 4 people capacity, you need to make a reservation...so quite tricky. Otherwise, a top hotel!"
