Cape Sounio - A Grecotel Resort to Live

Náš třetí návrat, poloviční cena přilákala i ostatní a tak byl hotel překvapivě plný i na konci října. Hotel je pořád bezchybný, nově upravená pláž a okolí bazénu. Snídaně velmi bohaté, večeři jsme letos nebrali. Mám oblíbené dvě taverny v okolí - Sysrtaki a Maridu. Večeříme raději dříve, jinak hotel určitě má i večerní bufet skvětý. Moře bylo krásně teplé i na konci října, 24 stupňů. V hotelu je krytý vyhřívaný bazén, nebyl třeba. Výhledy na Posseidonův chrám se neomrzí, 40 minut jízdy k jezeru Vouliagméni, spousta možností na pěší výlety v okolí, hotel leží na hranici národního parku Sounio.Bungalovy jsou krásně položeny a odhlučněny, dostatek suchých osušek na pláži i u bazénu, na pláži pořád dostatek lehátek. Dva dny dokonce nefoukalo, což je na Souniu neobvyklé. Velmi příjemný prodloužený víkend, letenky Praha-Atény za 3 tisíce, na příští květen už dokonce jsou v prodeji za 2500,-. Mám zase cukání na další prodloužený víkend.

We have just left this beautiful place, where we had a wonderful time with our family. Grecotel’s service and hospitality always make us feel welcomed. We loved how the staff met us and were carrying about our stay to begin with the villa we stayed in and other requests we had, including food for kids and everything. To begin with the place is so beautiful, you can walk to the Temple of Poseidon and your view will be attracted by this beautiful sightseeing all the time. All locations are picturesque, esthetic and well designed. As for us the heart of this hotel is people, you feel that your needs are important for personal, no matter what they are. Villas are cozy and private, each of the rooms have its own space. Food was delicious and even when you don’t have something, you can always ask to prepare for you. Clean room, well planned with big terraces with sunbeds, pools, tables and chairs for your family. Nice nature surroundings on your terrace snd all the territory. Nice beach area and staff there, they do have a bar and restaurant on the beach with waiters, it’s very comfortable. Clear water and sand makes you feel relaxed. Thanks to Grecotel’s again for these great vacation, beautiful time we spent there, we will 100% recommend to our friends and others.

This was our second stay at Cape Sounio, and certainly not our last.  Such a well designed, comfortable, and high end experience.  We had the option of staying in Athens (close to Glyfada or the Athenian Riveria), but we have consistently chosen to drive a bit further to Cape Sounio because of the quiet, kid friendly, and beautifully appointed property. The villas are incredible - clean, large, expertly designed.  The food is UNBELIEVABLE.  If you have the option to upgrade to half board, do it!  The breakfast and dinner spreads are outstanding.  My 2.5 year old twins loved the beach and the Grecokids play area.  I thoroughly unplugged at the spa.  And my husband enjoyed sitting on our quiet porch enjoying the view of the Temple of Poseidon while drinking a glass of wine.  There is something here for everyone.   The last and most important piece to mention is that the staff is so well trained and truly embody the meaning of Greek hospitality.  From making the reservations, to anticipating our needs (e.g., baby cots and baby soaps), and caring for our requests, be it at the restaurants or through our stay, we felt very well cared for. The Grecotel enterprise truly nails it with all their properties, and Cape Sounio is no exception.

You can tell they really care about the little details. Everything feels relaxed, authentic, and welcoming.The combination of the view, the service, and the live music turned an ordinary dinner into one of the highlights of my trip.

The moment we checked into the hotel an atmosphere of peaceful relaxation and seamless service was apparent. The lush Mediterranean landscaping is the star of the show and makes strolling through the grounds an experience in itself. Our temple view room was a dream to stay in and reading, relaxing and lounging at our own private pool elevated our stay. Despite being situated at the front of the resort closest to the beach there was absolutely no intrusion or noise from nearby activities, just the pleasing hum of cicadas and the gentle warm breeze. The complimentary taxi transfers to and from the hotel were welcome and we were very pleased to discover that our onward journey to Athens, not just the airport, was equally honoured - not always an inclusive service at other 5 star resorts. Breakfast operated like clockwork with a variety of fresh options overseen by friendly service and hardworking staff. The culinary highlight of our stay was the 'Full Moon menu' served in The Restaurant. The flavours were well executed and the Amberjack Tartare was my favourite. The range of restaurant options in the evening allow guests to dine at a variety of price points. We booked directly through the hotel with a 'Full Moon Package' which afforded us many complimentary perks. Our family also participated in the free complimentary activities on offer which really enhanced our stay - particularly the culinary resort walk and cooking class plus the evening Stargazing experience where we were able to view planets and the moon through telescopes. We also enjoyed the pool and the beach, but our children favoured the pool which was reminiscent of some Four Seasons resorts we have stayed in. The convenience of being a few minutes drive from the Temple of Poseidon allowed us to make the most of this special landmark and a member of our family enjoyed a daily morning run to and from the Temple. Any additional requirements we needed were met and staff responded quickly to our requests. All in all the resort delivered a relaxing break in a beautiful setting.
