Poseidonion Grand Hotel

Spectacular hotel and service, the hotel has a charm, the rooms are very nice, comfortable and clean , they upgraded us for our special occasion, the breakfast buffet is out of this world with many fine choices. Special thanks to Evanthia from reservations and Zoe from concierge who made our stay at Poseidon Grand Hotel even more memorable. Definitely will be going back.

This is a special place. A grand old lady, suitably and tastefully bought up to date with much love and - I suspect - no little investment! It is deservedly the centrepiece of beautiful Spetses. Like all grand dames, she betrays here age now and then. The air conditioning can be less than frosty for example, but let’s just call that character. It doesn’t detract from the innate style and taste of this space. Filled with ever changing original art and grand spaces. Our favourite was the balcony for breakfast and later for cocktails before hitting the restaurants. The staff are uniformly helpful and professional. Most of all the inimitable Zoe who, from the concierge desk, directed us to all the best places and experiences on the island. She is already famous from these reviews and she certainly didn’t disappoint. Our great experience was due, to a large extent , her guidance. We had one of the cheaper rooms facing the pool which was entirely adequate. The pool side was lovely and quiet and a good spot to spend time with the various cats, if you enjoy that sort of thing. We were interested in visiting Spetses and enjoying the best the island had to offer. We chose this hotel for that reason. It was a great choice.

Amazing location in Spetses, beautiful building with historical significance. Unfortunately it needs renovation to bring it up to he standards required for the rates it charges. It needs a personnel boost, it just seems like the polite employees are not able to keep up with the load of business. Coffees and cups in the huge 2 bedroom suite were not routinely replaced. turn-down service was just basic (no closing of shutters, no placing of slippers by bedside, no other little touches that make a difference), the pool area seemed to be abandoned, bird droppings on the loungers, hard to track down a waiter to order. Breakfast buffet was average, with fried eggs and pancakes being cold and with a relatively poor fruit and juice selection.

The hotel is situated a few minutes walk from the ferry and on a beautiful square with full view of the sea. We had a luxury suite facing the sea which as mentioned could be a little noisy for a few hours into the early evening but it only added to the atmosphere of a very small island that is occupied by big families. Our room was large , well appointed with very nice amenities. The lounge was often busy but quiet during the day. The breakfast included was overseen by the beautiful smiling Serena who also doubles as a concierge and had our taste in restaurants well worked out. The breakfast was beautifully set out by efficient Vicky( I hope this is correct) who loved to help me make choices and whisked away anything that didn't look perfect. All the staff in the buffet area were excellent. We ate in this area one evening over looking the sea and it was very nice. There is a pool in the courtyard which looked very pleasant but as it was very hot we preferred the beaches. We didn't try the spa or bar area but guests that we spoke to highly recommended the spa. The concierge Zoe as mentioned in many reviews was very knowledgable and super efficient at booking our daily trips and helping us make decisions as to how we should spend our 4 days in Spetses. She booked our sunbeds at the Paradise Beach resort which I was hesitant to go to at first as I love quiet calm beach areas but it was perfect and we were lucky enough to have a wonderful young man look after us for the few days we spent on this beautiful, peaceful beach. We enjoyed a light lunch both on the beach and in the open air relaxed restaurant. It is a very well run, efficient and friendly beach club. We also visited the Agio Marina beach which was also very relaxing with beautiful water and great food. The hotel is very close to the little town which is best seen after dark as it was super hot during the day and there were many lovely shops hidden in little alleys. I loved Tsiziki which was one of my favourite for well priced gifts. The shops near the hotel are very over priced. We ate twice at Patralis(book sea view table in advance) and mostly at little Gyros places like Cockatoo. Serena and Zoe know the best places to eat. The tiny ice cream shop nearest the horse and carriage area makes excellent soft serve in cones which you can enjoy after dinner and watch people go by. As there are very few Taxis in Spetses , I would recommend booking transport in advance.

The staff at The Poseidonion was absolutely amazing and made our stay so fun and memorable. They got us the best reservations, booked our boat and recommended the best beaches. The hotel location was amazing and central. By far the best property on the island of Spetses. Very luxurious and great food and drinks. The pools were beautiful. The concierge Zoe was the absolute best, she made everything so easy and found us the best boat to explore the island. Ilias was a sweetheart and helped us so much with our luggage and transport. The front desk team was always fast to respond to all our requests. Serena was the best host for the amazing breakfast every morning and always made us feel at home. Marilou was an amazing waitress at the restaurant and made sure we had the best meals. THANK YOU to everyone on the team for making our stay so memorable. Cannot wait to come back next year!!!

The Spa was fantastic! I got a massage from Sotiria and it cured all my back problems! The Spa was clean and very well organized. I couldn’t recommend it enough for those staying here! In addition, the hotel was very wel llocated and all the staff were incredible.
