Good stay for agile folks

Breakfast was great, beds were great, balcony and check in. But, there are many steps, not that great for older people. Some steps were marked, but not everywhere, not consistent. Not safe in dark if you are not familiar. Different safety standards. Hard to get to by car, and not much parking is available. Friendly and helpfull staff.

We had a wonderful stay at the Ariadne Beach Hotel. Everything was perfect from start to finish. The staff were friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Our room was clean and well equipped with terrific views of Mirabello Bay. We were half-board and the food was fantastic and the waiting staff just lovely. The beautiful Gargadoros beach is only a short stroll away on which we spent many happy days. We will definitely be returning!

Great location for Agios Nikolaos

We stayed at the Ariadne for 5 nights on a B & B basis and in a superior double room. The room was clean and functional with good wardrobe and luggage space (often missing nowadays). There are two pools at the hotel, one where the entertainments team are based and this is all in French as almost all residents come from France. other reviews mentioned this was a bit loud and frenetic and it can be but there is also a lower pool which is more quiet and, although the beds get taken by around 10am, suited us better. There is on-site parking, appreciated as we had a hire car. The buffet for breakfast was fairly basic but enough choice to find something to eat. Masks and gloves were worn inside the restaurant collecting food, not seated. There is also a small beach in front of the hotel where you can swim, very few chairs there and we never established if these were paid or free. The water was clear enough to snorkel but note beach shoes are an advantage as its a pebble beach. About 10 minutes walk takes you to a larger sandy beach with more chairs and some watersports. We didn't eat in the hotel but there's a nice cafe bar 'Votsalo' by the beach with lovely views, a nice popular family tavern 'Gargadoros' right at the entrance to the hotel and another next to this 'Meltemi' which has cheap draft beer and a good menu, again friendly. 10-15 minutes walk takes you to the marina area and then the lake in Agios where there are many highly rated restaurants

Wir hatten "all inklusive" gebucht und hatten uns auf viel Sonne und Bar gefreut. Erstmal gibt es an beiden Pools unterschiedliche Liegen, dann waren sie teilweise kaputt und die Sonnenschirme waren nicht fest. Was Recht unpraktisch ist weil die Zeit wo wir da waren es doch sehr Windig war und deshalb dreimal mitbekommen haben wie die Schirme einfach wegfliegen. Dann geht man zur Bar die Tagsüber nur am Pool auf hat. Wer hier meint am Strand Getränke zu bekommen muss diese leider mit den Liegen bezahlen. Mal abgesehen von manchen Sprach Problemen auf Englisch hat die Poolbar ganz gut funktioniert. Aber das die Leute dich nach 10 Tagen immer noch fragen für wie viele Personen man Getränke holt ist schon nervig. Zwischendurch gibt es Morgens Mittags und Abends am Buffet essen. Die Auswahl ist ausreichend, aber wer hier denkt Griechisch essen zu gehen wird verzweifelt suchen. Abend Aufenthalt kann man bei einem schönen Blick an der Main Bar genießen. Hätte man gedacht. Erste Getränke Bestellung läuft meistens gut danach kommt keiner mehr und fragt ob man noch was trinken möchte. Bis man dann Mal einen Kellner zur Hand hat der weitere Bestellungen aufnimmt dauert das. Und noch länger dauert es bis dann die Getränke kommen. Alles im allen ist das für mich nicht der all inklusive Urlaub wie ich ihn mir vorstellen. Von den Handwerkern die die Zimmer restauriert haben will ich erst gar nicht anfangen.
