I rested at the Kriopigi Beach 4 * hotel for 2 weeks, in general it is a very decent and decent hotel. All interiors are new, clean and tidy. The area is small but well maintained. The beach is quite far from the hotel but the train goes there. In 2018, the native beach of the town of Kriopigi was very dirty, so every hour there was a bus from the hotel to another beach in the direction of Polychrono. When checking in, they did not forget to take a tourist tax from us. But fortunately, the fee was charged as for a two-star hotel, that is, 50 eurocents per day and not 3 euros as for a 4-star hotel. Very nice savings)
The food is decent and quite varied: salads for breakfast, two types of amlet, scrambled eggs, 4 types of yogurt. There are also mustli, croissants, Nutella chocolate spread. Coffee is poured by waiters, sometimes they have to wait for a long time to be poured, no additional coffee was offered nirazu.
We did not take lunches, because in the heat we don't really want to eat. We bought watermelons in the store, the price was ~ 22 rubles / kg. Dinner was usually very plentiful: 5-6 salads, 4-5 kinds of side dishes, meat, pasta, soup, often seafood like mussels or squid. 5-6 kinds of desserts, watermelons and melons. Melons, I must say, were usually not ripe, plums and apricots too. Everything else is top class. The chef himself goes out to the guests every dinner to find out if they like everything. Sometimes it was salty or overcooked, but apparently because the drinks were ordered more actively.
There are queues to enter the dining room if there are a lot of people inside. And as a rule, there is a lot of it, especially if the weather is bad and there is no point in sitting at the pool bar. Well, vacationers eat for a very long time, until you try everything, at least an hour passes.
Free drinks only for those who bought the All Inclusive. For everyone else, even water for money. Here the waiters will not bypass you with their attention and 2-3 times for dinner they will offer you something to splash. Price level: a cup of tea 3 euros. So we didn't order anything from them. We bought water in stores, just this year, not far from the Kriopigi hotel, an Ellnvik store opened, in which 6 bottles of 1.5 liters each could be bought for 1 euro. Very nice price.
For children there is animation on the playground from 11: 00-13: 30 and from 17: 00-19: 00. Then the pool has a mini-disco from 20:00 to 21:00.
We lived in the main building in room 502. This is a superior room, quite large, but does not have a balcony, the only one on the 5th floor. At our request, on the common balcony of our floor, we were given a table, chairs, a dryer, which we used. In general, there are no complaints about the number - everything is new and clean, it works well. Air conditioning, TV, blinds on the windows are present. They clean the room every day and very carefully. Shampoo, soap, razors are reported on demand. There is no kettle or cups in the room, but we had a kettle and cups with us so we could have tea. The light in the room was a little annoying - a few small lamps by the mirror and above the bed, and that's it! Minus the room had one - the window overlooked the passage through which the vacationers went to their rooms, and often looked into our window, apparently to find out how we were doing. Therefore, if the light was turned on in the room, it was immediately necessary to curtain the window. And yes, we had a safe in our room. Is it paid or not, I don't know, we didn't use it, it is there! The rooms of the main building have WiFi directly in the rooms. Judging by the fact that people were constantly hanging out in the lobby, not all rooms have WiFi. If that password is kriopigi2018.
I would like to note the separate hotel guide Kirill from Mouzenidis. Last year there was a girl, and Kirill only appeared this year. This is the rare case when a guide really helps tourists and becomes their friend. Kirill has many advantages: firstly, he is almost always at the hotel, you constantly meet him there and have the opportunity to discuss something with him. Secondly, he really defends the interests of tourists in front of the hotel and tour. operator. Thirdly, he really helps with advice on where to see, buy and eat. So respect to Kirill!
