Indiana Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Just wondered if anyone has a recommendation for a family friendly Greek hotel for a June holiday? We are a family of 4 including a 1 year old and 4 year old and looking for a hotel/resort near a beach and preferably near a town with a kids club and one or two bedroomed suites...I have heard of Sani & Elounda which look good - any other recommendations?Thanks!

david_carnell Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 If you'd consider Crete rather than mainland Greece then this hotel not far from Chania (regular flights) was amazing for kids and adults....http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Hotel_Review-g1574391-d288931-Reviews-Ammos_Hotel-Agii_Apostoli_Chania_Town_Chania_Prefecture_Crete.html The food was excellent (esp breakfast) and reasonably priced as it's all extra. Private beach. Smart rooms. Short bus ride from small city.

Sonners Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 We went to Sani as our pre-baby last holiday not realising how popular with families it was! But it was lovely and we will definitely go back when our little one is older. Very child friendly. There is a "dine around" option so you can eat in any of the restaurants at the 4 hotels for a good variety. There is a beach club and all the hotels are near the beach. The only thing I don't know is whether it's near a town or not. Certainly not in walking distance I don't think (although I could be wrong, we didn't look into walking far as I was 5 months pregnant!).

Syppox2000 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 We are going away with Nielsen holidays to lemnos in Greece as they have really great child care and babysitting evenings too . They also have an under 2 cr?che which seems to be quite rare and it's walking distance to a town. If you quote mums net they give a nice discount too as do mark warner .

Looby5 Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 HiLooking to book either Sani or Domes of Elounda in September and can't decide, can anyone help? Anyone been to both?ThanksLou Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/40556-greek-family-hotel-recommendation/#findComment-742095 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norfolkvillas Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Hi Lou, I've been to Domes and Sani's on my list for future hols. Domes is way smaller, so less facilities / dining options / more intimate boutique feel. Sani is a big, big resort, but Porto Sani Village looks pretty tastefully done. At Domes most rooms have their own pool which isn't the case at PSV I don't think. Both pretty similar transfer times. I guess I would say scale is the key differentiator. Hope this helps!

iclaudia Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I came onto this thread to recommend Ammos hotel in Crete and see someone beat me to it! We had a fabulous two week holiday there a couple of years ago. The rooms were lovely, I thought the whole place was excellent value for money, and Chania was surprisingly pretty and cultured when we ventured in. We went with 2 year old twins so it was important to me for a holiday to be as little stress as possible - it's only 1/2 hour cab journey from the airport and the hotel is right on the beach, so you really could chill out.

pommie Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Pefki Islands Resort in Pefkos is a lovely place for families. Its very clean, staff very friendly, they have two swimming pools plus a baby one. you can also use the swimming pools and the facilities in the adjoining complex (less than a minute walk). They have kids club as well, plenty of entertainment. have a look on Thomas cook's website for photos etc Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/40556-greek-family-hotel-recommendation/#findComment-742372 Share on other sites More sharing options...
