Royal Hotel and Suites

Stayed at Royal Hotel & Suites in one of the family rooms and had an awesome time! The breakfast was great, and the main pool was amazing. My only regret is not booking one of the private pool suites I saw from our balcony, but I’m saving that for next time! Can’t wait to return next year! Thanks to the team for the great service and attention.

Arrived late on 28/9 for a week here - not having appreciated that the resort was winding down and many things closing on the Monday 30th September. Due to late arrival, evening food was a sandwich and a welcome drink at the bar. We had a family room which was very comfortable and well appointed with a good walk in shower, kitchen area, double bedroom with its own courtyard as we were on the ground floor. Breakfast which was had a delightful selection of food was eaten out on the terrace which was lovely and evening meal in the same area. Always plenty of choice, or local and international food, salads, desserts, starters and always a special being cooked up by the chef in the kitchen - some nights fish, others barbecue/mixed grill. Service at the bar - usually had wine with dinner was always pleasant and wines were a delight. We had a faulty kettle which we only spotted on the first morning and this was swiftly replaced and apology for the inconvenience. The receptionist was very informative about local buses, markets, and places to visit which we did on several days as the choice of restaurants on the local beach reduced each day. The first day we visited the beach we'd assumed the closed shops were due to it being a Sunday. People were dismantling sunshades/sunbeds on the beach they said due to the high winds but some said they said they were packing up for the season hence getting on buses to go further afield. Waiting for buses was a pain - as there was often several hours between buses and some 'resorts' further down the coast had even less open than Polychrono as several buses had been cancelled from the timetable. The beach had sharp grit to travel over to get into the sea so worth packing jelly shoes. There were several in it but the lifeguards also packed up 30/9 and took their equipment so with a real hefty current/heavy waves, didn't look particularly safe on windier days. The hotel's private beach advertised in the brochure was deserted both times we visited. We had to ask reception where it was - right at the end of the resort beach but due to the wind, the foam sun loungers had blown across the beach and the bins were full so it didn't give the good impression we'd seen in website/literature. There were other places to sit on the beach under shade weather still warm enough to while away the hours. The hotel had several families as well as couples despite being term time and we rarely saw anyone in the two swimming pools. There was a private function in the grounds on the Sunday with many families attending. We avoided the bar/pool area due to the amount of people who smoked there. There was a larger garden area beyond our room if people wanted to make use of that and rooms had their balcony/courtyard. There were magazines and books in reception forming a holiday library to read, return or swap - which I used. I'd happily recommend the hotel, its facilities, service, staff (always friendly) and location - just

This is far from bliss it is a 2 star hotel not 4 manager rude no dietary requirements met hotel pictures on site do it justice i recommend you look at sani beach resort. the review is asking for more but i have not all day to waste my time on such a hotel

Everything was fine with this hotel, they have a good all-inclusive option, and it's a short walk to the beach. I see a lot of positive reviews have been written about the hotel, so I won't add anything there. The problem is with the town, Polychrono, which really lacks character; there's nothing old or interesting. The beach is really narrow, there are free parts (without sunbeds), but they're really crowded. Of course, once you get into the water it's wonderful, but the beach itself is not an attractive place to relax. Also it seems that about 80% of the town's guests are Serbian, some from Macedonia. Of course I've nothing against Serbs, but it's not so nice when one nationality is so dominant. All in all, there are many more charming places in Chalkidiki.

I arrived to Royal hotel and suites later in August with my partner. We did not really know much about the area of Chalkidiki, but we booked this holiday just so we could visit a different place in Greece this year. We love Greece; we have been visiting Greece every year for many years now. All we heard for Chalkidiki is that is an area with blue/ turquoise-blue waters and beautiful beaches. Royal hotel is located near the main road, but at the same time away from the traffic. The village is only 5 minutes away and the beach not more than that. We reach the end of a full week in the area and every day we explored a different place. A variety of activities was suggested to us by the hotel reception such as: the trail walk to the nearby lake, visiting villages not more than 5km from there either on foot or by bike, scuba-diving in Loutra (*****), renting a car (in very good prices!) and getting the bus to visit other villages a little further away - max 30 minutes distance. We especially liked the hotel as it is small and cosy. All the staff greeted us, or waved hello whenever they see us, while always being helpful if we needed their assistance with something. I can honestly say for the food in this place it has been one of the best we have tried, always varied and tasty, while we liked the option for a la carte during breakfast and dinner. :) we had only breakfast and diner, but we still had the choice to take drinks during the meals from the restaurant. Sometimes it was busy in the restaurant especially the first few days when we arrived, but there was always space for us and most days we had dinner at "our" table!! The cleaning of the room was daily as we had fresh towels and toiletries also. The gardenside of the hotel we enjoyed the most in the evening as it was very romantic and quiet, especially since we spent most of our day exploring the area. Also, we could see that there is some development on the building near the hotel but not during our stay and we would be excited to come back to see how this will turn out the next year (maybe!). Overall we are sad to leave tomorrow as our week here was a truly perfect one, but we would like to say we will be back sometime in the future!! From Steve and Valerie we send our best wishes to all the hotel staff.

Lovely small and friendly hotel, warm welcome from Johanna on reception who was exceptional throughout our stay. Rooms and surrounding areas were very clean and tidy. Food for all inclusive was good and had the added bonus of a chef in the mornings and evenings. Also had the option at lunchtime to use the grill bar if you didn’t want to go into the restaurant. Drinks were ok and great that there was a cold water machine by the bar to fill bottles etc whenever you needed. Cocktails were very poor though just out of a machine. Air con, safe, wifi and pool towels were included at no extra cost which was a bonus. No sun bed wars either, always sun beds available no matter what time of day. The deal with the beach bar Olivo was good and the shuttle bus to the beach if you needed it instead of walking. Easy walk to the beach, shops, bars and restaurants and easy to get the bus or taxi. Our only real negative is the smoking as no designated smoking areas around the pool or bar areas! Overall we had a very lovely relaxed two weeks and would definitely recommend.
