Grecotel Filoxenia Kalamata

A paradise in Kalamata with beautiful pool and beach access. Food, service all amazing. Provide water and Nespresso capsules. The only problem is the gym which is underground and mould affected , causing net to cough for days . Just avoid the gym. Otherwise all perfect and so coming back!!

A beautifully maintained property offering everything you need for a relaxing beach vacation. Great pool, easy beach access, breakfast on the patio, easy walk to the main waterfront strip.

AMAZING!!! We loved it here! I cannot fully explain just how wonderful this hotel is. We arrived just at the start of the season. Check- in was seamless, with a welcoming drink. Staff then showed us around the hotel, pointing out various areas of interest. Stavros was waiting with the luggage when we arrived at the room. Room- we stayed in a deluxe veranda room initially. Amenities were excellent, flip flops for the beach, daily restock of water. Every room has chairs and a table on the veranda/balcony and you get sun at some point in the day. We were upgraded to a suite two days after arrival (Expedia benefits) which was amazing. Separate bedroom and living room, two bathrooms. I would definitely advise booking this. Restaurant- the staff were the most amazing thing about this hotel!!! Always smiling, very attentive and friendly. I didn’t take their names but honestly they are all an asset to the hotel. Beach- there are many lounge chairs set up on the pebbled beach with food and drinks service via the pool bar. The sea is clean with lovely azure waters and it’s so relaxing and quiet. Location- the hotel is in a quiet part of Kalamata but about a 10 minute walk along the coast to the tavernas/bars. Transport- Bus No. 1 is literally outside the hotel gate and takes you along the coast to where all the tavernas are then into the city and into the old town (journey time of about 20-30 minutes) and you buy the €1.50 ticket from the bus driver (with cash or card).

We loved this hotel. Proper 5 star luxury. Have never experienced such attentive, friendly and helpful staff. The beach and pool were wonderful to relax by and the breakfasts were heavenly. They had absolutely everything you could want from fresh fruit to eggs. Fabulous stay as a family of 4 with two teens
