Being raised in Spetses it has always been a dream of mine to spend a night in Poseidonion Hotel. An amazing story and much history is linked to this hotel inspired from the grand European hotels in the early 1900s.
After it's beautiful refurbishment, which lasted 4 years, it's unique classic elegance is preserved alongside it's 5 star qualities. However, it is pretty clear that during it's first summer in operation neither the facilities not the staff are 100 per cent ready.
During our trip to Spetses I received a call from the concierge asking whether we would like to be picked up from the port which shouts 5 stars... however it would be even better if the hotel had reserved a few spaces in the parking lot in Kosta and had a private boat to transfer quests from the land across the bay.
We stayed in the new wing by the pool. The room was huge including an enormous bed, a flat-screen TV, a big closet, a desk and a sofa. The bathroom was also huge and very elegant. The one thing missing from this room was a mirror!! The pool looked great although we didn't swim. Hotel service needs work ,the staff was very kind however evidently unprepared but the view from the front terrace during breakfast, dinner or afternoon drinks compensates any unfortunate shortcomings. The Spa was not ready yet so I cannot comment ot that.
I will definately visit Poseidonion hotel soon and I am confident that next time it's going to be perfect from every angle.
P.S. Don't forget to read the little book on your nighstand narrating the history of Spetses and Poseidonion, it will surely make your stay magical!!!
