We absolutely loved our stay at Lagonissi. We stayed in one of the seaside bungalows. Small garden and the beach right before our room. Loved it ! And so did our kids. The sea was so shallow that we could safely leave our 6-year old out to play in the water. The children had lots of fun snorkeling, looking for shells, fishes and little crabs. Quite often we were the only guests on the beach - in August. We liked the fact that the hotel offered a bottle of wine and fruit platter upon arrival and we thought that the golf carts were very practical : "just dial 9 and we will come and pick you up and take you anywhere you want to go." Great. And necessary because the hotel grounds are huge. Breakfast was excellent. Anyone that can't find something to his or her liking there is very, very picky... Think guests could dress a bit nicer for breakfast though... the things people put on to go for breakfast in a 5-star hotel... unbelievable. Had dinner in the asian restaurant and in the italian restaurant and the setting, service and food were excellent. Room service : excellent. Service at the swimming pool : excellent. Rooms were very clean. Spacious bathroom - steam shower and jacuzzi bad. Fluffy towels for bathroom & beach. Changed twice a day. Loads of good quality toiletries. The above being said.... staying at Lagonissi is very, VERY expensive ! I read in a previous review that they charge you for breathing... in fact, I believe that is indeed the case. There is a coffee maker in the room : 5 EUR for a coffee. 15 EUR for renting an in-house movie.. for that price I'd rather buy the DVD. 15 EUR additional cost for having room service into your room. Luckily breakfast was complimentary to the room rate - otherwise 25 EUR per person. Dinners for 4 costed over 200 EUR each time we went to one of the restaurants. Normal menus though - not fine dining for several hours. Sooooo .. we loved it, would love to go back, excellent location for a quick trip Brussels-Athens but.... cannot afford it.... :(
