Panormo Beach Hotel

Amazing hotel for a relatively quiet coastal resort which itself was wonderful. The staff, everyone of them, were so helpful, polite and cheerful. Our room was amazing:- a suite, double balcony, spa bath and sea view. We were upgraded which was unexpected and very much appreciated. The breakfast was delicious. The reviews on this site criticising the breakfast are bizarre. The pool is lovely. I swam in it most mornings before breakfast and had it to myself. All in all this was a wonderful holiday

I have a somewhat jaundiced view of this hotel after they charged me €70 to keep my room till 17:30 on my last day. I have never paid more than €35 at any other hotel. On the plus side, when I arrived late at night, I received a warm welcome from the lovely Irini who poured me a very welcome Mythos and organised a kettle for me. The best aspect of this hotel is definitely the staff. Everyone is friendly and helpful, and special thanks go to Irini and the other receptionist, and barman Mikkel ( sorry, I'm sure I've misspelt that) who chatted to me in the evenings. My room was a decent size, although the balcony was incredibly narrow. I didn't have any clothes dryer, but the people next door did. There was no privacy partition either. There was adequate storage and even a deep shelf in the bathroom, which was very useful. The safe cost €4 per day, which was well worth it for the peace of mind. The less said about the breakfasts, the better. The staff were lovely but the food was not. The clientele appeared to be mainly German, and the food reflected that. That also meant that the books left near Reception were mainly German too. The pool area didn't have many sunbeds, but it wasn't a very big pool anyway. It also didn't get much sun, which was possibly why not many people used it. There wasn't a pool bar as such, but there was a downstairs bar, and Mikkel was always keeping a watchful eye on the pool area, ready to take drinks orders. The rooftop bar is open from 5pm to 11pm. The hotel location is very good; to the left of the hotel, a few metres to the beach but down a slightly steep hill and steps. I did see a brave lady come down the steps on crutches, but I wouldn't have dared. There are sunbeds, a Taverna, and showers here. There is another beach in the harbour which is more accessible but didn't have sunbeds. The nearest supermarket is just a couple of minutes to the right of the hotel and there are numerous restaurants and bars in the village, especially around the harbour. It's an actual Greek village and not a purpose built resort like so many others. To sum it up, mixed feelings about the hotel. It just wasn't what I wanted and, being in my eighties, the way to the beach was fraught with danger. I enjoyed the people and the rest of the area, although I was a bit miffed when I had to pull my suitcase up a short hill and along a road to the church in order to to pick up my coach to the airport. Good old Tui, again.

This guys are scammers and cheated on me!I have booked the deluxe room with a sea view and on the website it shows me the room in the hotel!When I arrived,receptionist told me I got upgraded to the appartment which is outside of the hotel.
