Zelia Halkidiki, part of Destination by Hyatt - Adults Only

Nothing but a joy to stay at Zélia. My friends had visited last year and had nothing but wonderful things to say. So we tried it and alas, a success! Couldn't have been happier with our experience. 100% recommend!

Grand in scale, yet intimate in atmosphere. With the weather being rather cold, we naturally spent much of our time indoors. The spa quickly became the centrepiece of our stay: excellent massages, a heated indoor pool, sauna and hammam. Everything felt wonderfully tranquil, with a sense of quiet luxury that never felt overdone. The spa is undoubtedly one of the property's greatest assets and reason enough to return.

מלון מושלם, אוכל מעולה, שקט מאד. מתאים למנוחה. מאד נקי ומסודר, מקום מפנק. שירות נפלא מכל הבחינות.

בריכות חיצוניות ופנימיות המים קרים אבל אולי זה גם תלוי עונה. ההגעה למלון דרך הכפר, אם יוצאים וחוזרים למלון כל יום, עשוי להיות מעט מייגע.

The facilities are the only reason to go there - the rest doesn't correlate with what is announced . The housekeeping is also good , though it should be like that anyway .

There is disco evenings in the middle of the complex till midnight on Friday and Saturday - so you cannot avoid it . Absolutely no related with 1) a place you go for being quiet and 2) you pay 5 stars hotel experience , but you end up in disco club . No more comments needed here . Slow service during breakfast - you could easily wait 10 - 15 min for your coffee ( which is excellent ) and water . By the way - you cannot bring water yourself - have to order and wait . No gluten free options , no fish which is a standard at this price level . Food is as good as in any good 3 star all inclusive hotel - so no problem , but no relation with the price . On the reception during check in - cold , no smile , like a robot . On check out no one asked if it was a good time or not . in summary - for me is a lot of money for something very different from what the complex is presented to be . Additionally , the beach is very stony , so no credits there too . The other one is that the hotel is far from the rest of the world and either you have to pay some 50 € to go out and come back , or stay in the complex , or drive .
