5* Sani Beach Hotel

Last week I had the pleasure to finally visit the ever popular 5* Sani Resorts in Halkidiki Greece.   Sani is only 3 hour flight from Gatwick and 1 hr road transfer from Thessaloniki airport.  This property only operates from end of April to end of October. I have always been told that this resort gets fully booked very early and to remind customers to book as early as possible.  At first I didn’t want to believe it, however when I tried to book some rooms in February for July and August, the hotel was totally full.  They could not even squeeze for 1 room. This property runs at 100% most of the time.  Quite unbelievable!!

I now understand why.  After spending a few days there, I didn’t want to come back. The weather, the location and the people were just perfect.  There are 4 properties on this wide and I mean extremely wide stretch of beach with so many places to explore.  Each property is very unique and each has its own style. There is Sani hotel and Sani Beach Club which is perfect for families in particular.  There is the Porto Sani Village excellent for spa and well being and Sani Asterias suites which is the boutique hotel. It even boasts a huge marina with some fantastic shops and restaurants.

I had a room at Sani hotel and the room had a beautiful full sea view.  The weather in October was beautiful and warm although you will require a cardigan in the evening.  The rooms were spacious.  There is entertainment every evening.  I highly recommend going on half board basis, you have a choice of 11 restaurants within your half board, each restaurant serves the most amazing food.  How many other hotels do you know offers 11 excellent quality restaurants within their half board basis?  Surely not many! One of the best food I had was at the Italian restaurant on the marina called Macaroni.  It had an outdoor space and the views from the marina is just exquisite.   Although this property runs at 100%, they did not feel full at all. With so many eateries and space around, this place never felt crowded.

I highly highly recommend this property to anyone especially to families who want to go somewhere hot and  close to UK.  I understand why the repeat clients keep going back, they are truly spoilt for choice.
