Assa Maris Beach Hotel

This hotel is... shall we say... rather interesting. First, the location is fantastic and beach is beautiful. The grounds are very nice, and staff were friendly. However, while it appears some updates have been done, the rooms are not really up to par -- nothing huge, but a lot of little annoyances or things that are just odd. The included dinner was okay, though not on par with most of the other places we stayed in Greece. My traveling companion is from the US and lives in Romania -- apparently this hotel is very much an older Eastern European style of resort which is popular with the older generations from that part of the continent. For US or western European tourists, I would not recommend staying here as the experience isn't really geared to our expectations.

The rooms are very dirty and stinky. It's beyond just dirty. The pool is green, every furniture is so old, dirt and gross, that you can’t sit or sleep. The bathroom was nightmare- really stinky with dirt. The towels,the mattresses and the sheets in the room were gross. NO MATTER HOW DESPERATE YOU ARE. DO NOT COME TO THIS HOTEL.

I had been here years ago and thought it would be pleasant to return. However, it was a hugely letting-down experience with unreliable customer service. I had proceeded with a booking over the phone, where the type of the room, the respective dates and the price was agreed. The motive was that paying them directly (even though with the prices quoted online) I could help a medium business to avoid unnecessary fees, even though I had no direct benefit myself. Huge mistake. I did not receive any written confirmation, so I proceeded with calling 3 times in a period of 10 days, and I was invariably told to not worry at all and that the booking is safe and guaranteed. After 2 weeks of the initial phone call, I eventually received the confirmation in writing: the initially just over €900 reservation for 4 nights was increased to just below €1300. When I called to (naively) question whether there was a mistake, I was dismissed with “we never agreed anything”. Obviously they chose to increase their prices once they reached closer to the reservation dates by not honouring already made bookings. Needless to say, I am never returning to that hotel again and, unfortunately, I will be sharing my experience with anyone I know who is planning to visit Chalkidiki for them to avoid similar treatment by this establishment. This hotel’s attitude is damaging the tourism sector, decreases any transactional trust, and leaves customers with little choice than going through intermediates and not bring any business directly to them. However, I thank them for the lesson learnt, albeit the hard way: one has to toughen up, look after personal interests only, and be less caring for smaller businesses by going through intermediaries, to which the businesses have to pay additional fees.

The hotel has been recently taken over by the new Manager, George. It is a beautiful hotel right on the long sandy/pebbly beach. The sand is full of silver glitter and looks so pretty. The hotel is surrounded by palm trees, roses, flowers and is very well maintained and clean. The food is incredible, with lots of choice, thanks to the brilliant chef Kostas. We went Half Board and my only criticism is that you have to pay for drinks with your evening meal, even water or juice. The hotel is in the middle of nowhere and it takes 90 minutes to get there from Thessaloniki Airport. However, it is definitely worth it. We wish the hotel every success for the future.

After 20 years of travelling through beautiful Greece, we found the Worst hotel ever. We liked the location, had no other options due to a late booking, and gave it a shot. What a mistake. And where should we start: dirty glasses, a kitchen as you can see in a photo the way it's maintained (dirty underneath the plates with food), flies in your eggs, a hotel owner who Literally yells at her guests, refrigerator has been changed 4 times in order to get a good night sleep, old old furniture that falls apart, unhappy guests at the reception, cleaners who simply forget to come to clean...and so on and so on. The swimming pool, don't let your kids in, if by any means you make a mistake and book this hotel as we did, as it was green and dirty for 5 days since we got there. The room we paid for - we got it 3 days later, for 250e per day, you can find amazing places, with amazing people, clean and well-kept, happy places, this is The hotel to AVOID.

Hôtel mal entretenu, trop cher pour ce que c est.. le petit déjeuner était de mauvaise qualité. Dans les chambres ils avaient oublié de mettre des draps et la Clim ne marchait pas.. La plage est jolie, le personnel à la piscine était gentil. Je ne le recommande pas
