Stefania Beach Resort

Compared to European standards, this hotel doesn’t really deserve 4 ⭐. In my opinion, it’s more like a 2+. Pros: Fantastic and friendly staff Spotlessly clean Some of the food is really good Good drinks, ice cream, and a wide variety of fruits Clean beach Quiet and peaceful atmosphere Greek night organized once a week by the hotel Cons: Constant struggle to get a sunbed — there simply aren’t enough for all the guests Bathroom is in terrible condition and needs renovating Small room, cramped with too much furniture Breakfasts are very repetitive (same menu every day) Location: The hotel is on the outskirts of town, about a 1 km walk to the promenade. The promenade itself is nice and well-kept. The town, however, is very run-down — it looks almost like a slum, with crumbling buildings, abandoned cars on the streets, and broken sidewalks and roads. There’s really nothing interesting to see in this part of the island. Greece is a beautiful and diverse country, but I’d seriously think twice before coming to this area.

Absolutely unacceptable hotel for a 4-star rating. The only positives: good location and direct access to the beach. That’s it. Now the negatives: 1. Upon arrival, there was a flood in the bathroom. The cleaner removed it, but by the next morning it returned. 2. The food is absolutely awful – low-quality products, tasteless and inedible. The meat in particular is unacceptable for a hotel claiming four stars. 3. At the pool, there are signs stating that towels left on sunbeds will be removed if unattended. In reality, no one enforces this. Elderly guests “reserve” sunbeds early in the morning with towels, then disappear back to their rooms. I asked the receptionist three times to at least free one sunbed, but nothing was done. After 3rd attempt . New guests arriving to swim are left standing with nowhere to sit. Why even put up these signs if no one cares? 4. Our room was changed because of the flooding, and we were given a newly renovated one. However, you cannot plug in a charger without moving the nightstand. 5. To open the wardrobe, you also have to move the nightstand. How is this acceptable? 6. The Wi-Fi barely works. You have to walk around to find a spot where it connects. 7. Hot water is unreliable. Sometimes you wait and it still doesn’t come. On the first floor, it was lukewarm at best. On the second floor, we had to shower in cold water. This is outrageous. We ended up leaving the hotel before our planned check-out date because it was simply unbearable. The mattress in the “new” room was so hard it was impossible to sleep. I honestly don’t understand who writes positive reviews about this hotel – probably people close to the owners. For us, it was a huge disappointment. Vacation ruined. No refund, of course.

We stayed at Stefania in Greece and unfortunately, it did not live up to our expectations. There were not enough sunbeds by the pool, so it was difficult to find a place to relax during the day. The buffet for dinner often ran out of food, even though we had booked an all-inclusive package, which was very disappointing. In the evenings, after spending the day in the sun, we looked forward to taking a nice shower – but there was barely enough water pressure to have a proper wash. Overall, our experience was not what we had hoped for, and we left feeling quite disappointed.

Hotel is ok. The food is ok. The beer is only called a "beer' ( it is yellow liquid only(. And there is NO BEACH. What they call a beach is only 30 methers shore where they layed 20 sun beds and old umbrellas which didnt bother to reney the straw from what they are made. I was begging the receptionis to tell the "manager" to buy ten more sun beds so the people can lie down wothout a fight for them. They sould be a petision named "Peole fof sun beds in Stefania resort" :)). On the end there is no point you should drive 700km to Evia when you have a lot of beautiful places on Halkidiki, Sitonia or Atthos.

If you're planning your summer holiday by the beach, here's something you should know: This hotel does not guarantee beach spots for all guests. That means you might end up under the blazing sun with no umbrella, no chair, and no shade. Also, the hotel has been without internet for 3 days, so don’t expect to stay connected during your stay.
