Kardamenas hamn

I booked around 6pm and when I got there they didn’t have a room. I was told to look elsewhere for a room and on top of that, they said they wouldn’t give me a refund because it was booked through Hotels.com! What s terrible start. Ages later they went and got the cleaner, who was probably having dinner with her family at 8pm, to ‘prepare a room for me’ which was apparently ‘locked for next season’. Appalling room condition. Very very outdated, damp walls smelled so intensely I couldn’t sleep from the smell (and I could not leave the balcony door open as I was on street level and plenty of mosquitoes too). I woke up coughing. Very old bathroom, the door was peeling, the side light wasn’t working, the emergency light outside the room was broken and flashing, which woke me up when it was still dark… I left the place absolutely exhausted. ‘You get what you pay for’ they say, but this was completely unacceptable even for €45.

Perfect for families with kids. I would avoid staying without kids. Good: - perfect for families with kids - excellent service - spacious and nice rooms (we stayed in the 2025 renovated bungalows) - the food is good considering 4 star all inclusive - the surroundings and that they grow their own vegetables Needs improvement: - it gets easily crowded in the restaurant and the pool areas during peak hours - people reserves beds by the pool despite signs telling them not to. The hotell should make sure to remove the towels. Roughly 50% of the beds are taken in the morning without anyone using them. - long queues to the crepes/waffles - ants in the room and sometimes in the bed In summary: reasonably priced, excellent service and great for for families with kids. However, some improvements needs to be considered. Especially with the reserved beds at the pool area.
