East Mani Hotels with Swimming Pool

"Lovely hotel and great service. Breakfast was so good!"

"There are a lot of nice little boutique hotels in Greece. This is NOT one of them. The facility itself is very nice. Some unwitting investor obviously dumped a dumped a lot of money into this place. However the people running it are clueless. I think I saw the lady at the front desk smile ONCE...in three days! Might have been a nasty smirk...not sure. What a stark contrast to the place we checked into today (ATHENS SOFITEL AT THE AIRPORT), where we were greeted by a smiling young man, saying, "Kalos Irthate" (Welcome in Greek)! Our room was at the back of the complex so there was no “beach view” or anything of the sort. Just behind us was a construction site…so we were woken up every morning at 7:00AM by jackhammers and other such noise. At 9:00AM the noise went away…must have been break time. The breakfast buffet was atrocious…really bad. After the first morning, we went into town every day to find a decent meal instead. During two of the three nights, we had virtually NO WATER PRESSURE. On the third day (middle of the day) it magically changed. ...but the beach was nice. I’d definitely go elsewhere…at the prices they charge, this place is a complete rip off. PS Following this and one other crappy hotel from HOTELS.COM, I will no longer be using that service. I'm convinced the ratings are completely bogus...compromised by BOTS somehow. "
