Brown Beach Chalkida Kosher Resort, a Member of Brown Hotels

The hotel was clean. The staff was courteous and responsive.

It was very good stay,very friendly staff,I will definitely comeback again

the location is very nice , on top of a hill overlooking the beautful Evoian gulf and beach. The service is good, the outskirts of the hotel are green and pleasant. The room have nice balconies facing the beach. The swimming pool is nice too but there's no children's pool. The rooms are fine, but a bit small, and the bed is only 1.60 m. width. The bathroom is unbearable, way too small and no place for two people. Never saw such a tiny bathroom. Breakfast is good, with wide selection of food, but for dinner, the food in the main dinning room was not tasty and not good. We had something light at the bar outside.

Excellent hotel. Very clean!!! Beautiful modern furniture. Amazing breakfast!!!

Stayed at Brown Beach Chalkida. Hotel unilaterally changed dinner time to 21:30, making it impossible for us to dine. We did not eat there. When requesting a refund, the management claimed we ate there (false) and refused to refund. They are dishonest and avoid responsibility. Beware

We stayed here for one week as a family of four with two young children (6 and 3). We booked this due to the kosher food, the location, and the fact that they had a pretty good special offer on at the time. I'm going to leave a *really* detailed review because I would've loved to read something like this before I booked, but there were hardly any reviews (from after it became kosher), so hopefully this will help someone. If you're looking for something brief, best skip this one ;) Food: By far the biggest problem with the hotel right now is the food. It isn't terrible, by any stretch, but it certainly isn't good. Considering the chain of hotels has plenty in Israel, you would expect the food to be similar to kosher hotels there; it isn't. Breakfast is ok, there were pancakes available on two days that we were there, and those were actually pretty good, but nothing else is anything special. The offering was basically various salads, some bread and spreads, a cheese or two (no feta!), some eggs, a yogurt, two basic cereals (honey loops and corn flakes), a couple of other bits. It lacked things like pastries, or even a toaster, and after a few days of the same stuff it became a bit dull. They also ran out of regular cow's milk on more than one day - while I appreciate that there were problems with shipments coming in, it doesn't make a great customer experience. Dinner is where the problem really lies. It's hard to explain because if I showed pictures you would probably think, hey that looks alright... and the truth is, it IS *alright*, but not more than that. There were usually 2 chicken/meat dishes, with another couple of sides, and a fish dish, and a soup each night, along with some salads and humous (tasted homemade but wasn't great). It sort of tasted like you'd gone round to a friend who was a perfectly OK cook but not particularly *into* cooking - so think like pretty plain chicken, potatoes, rice, etc. Apart from the quality of the food, another massive issue is that it really isn't very kid friendly. You would expect for a hotel to have kid staples every meal - maybe chicken nuggets/mini schnitzels, simple tomato pasta, etc. They didn't have it at all. As a result, my very fussy 3 year old basically just had plain bread every night, with a couple of spoons of soup. Now I can't blame the hotel for my son's eating habits, but you would definitely expect a family hotel to try to cater towards children more. Then you have the pool bar, and, to be fair, the best food that the hotel offers by far is the pizza; it is pretty authentic neapolitan pizza (only let down by the cheese they managed to get hold of) and is really very decent (I'm a big neapolitan pizza guy so I appreciated this). The other stuff there was meh - they had a couple of different pastas which were very very basic, and then salads and sandwiches which are a bit of a waste because you can basically just take from breakfast and make your own (which we did most days for lun

Staff were wonderful, as are room and facilities. Beach and pool calm, plenty of loungers. Kosher food is good but variety could be improved. Strongly recommended

It was exclusively kosher based and they even did not allow deliveries from outside shops for guests who do not follow the kosher way of eating.I was expecting more luxury in the room i.e. a coffee making machine.the location is amazing,the beach very beautiful and the personnel kind and helpful!

It’s terrible. This hotel used to be among the best ones in town. At the moment, it is one of the most unwelcoming hotels I have ever experienced. We booked two rooms for family members who visited from the US because of the location and the old reputation of the hotel. It was a huge mistake because currently there is no inclusion and respect towards people who are not Kosher and it’s a disgrace to the Greek hospitality. In addition, the hotel runs as a 2-star and not as a 4-star hotel even though they claim they are a 4-star one. Rooms are very small, food is terrible and sometimes not even available at all and on top of that they don’t let you deliver food from outside the hotel and l won’t even comment about their “breakfast” and “coffee”. Highlights of this awful stay also include the rude attitude of the staff and the fact that they did not even provide water bottles to the guests in the rooms. They should emphasize on their website that not Kosher people are not welcome and they should definitely downgrade to a lower star hotel since they don’t meet the criteria to be a 4-star one.
