Koni Village

We have just spent 10 days at Koni Village. We were worried after seeing the reviews but there was no need.

Location - 10 min walk to the beach, shops, bars and restaurants. The hotel is built on a hill but we didn’t find this a problem and we were aware of this when we booked.

Atmosphere - Koni Village is nice and chilled. No sun bed wars here and it was nice not to have to wake up early for a good spot by the pool. Quiet around the pool, no back ground music but again, this wasn’t an issue. The whole area is clean and all the staff are friendly. Minimal evening entertainment but we just took a stroll into town where there is plenty going on.

Food - the biggy that we were worried about! We ate every meal at Koni. As a party of 9, including a 4 year old and 3 fussy teenagers, I can assure you no one went hungry, There was always chips, bread, pasta and salad on offer as well as a good variety of different foods to try. Not a huge selection but the choice was appropriate to the size of the hotel. At breakfast there is bacon, eggs (fried, boiled or scrambled) beans and sausages as well as fruit, cheese, yogurt etc. There were fresh pancakes every other day, There is no toaster at the moment as it caught on fire and they are waiting for a new one but the chef was happy to put some bread on the grill for us.

Rooms - absolutely adequate. Clean towels each day.

I’m not sure what people expect for a 3 star booking. Koni is chilled and quiet but our families enjoyed it and we would consider returning.

Fantastic hotel. It is located up a hill, so not suitable for the elderly, but because of the hill you get fantastic views over the sea and surrounding area with a beautiful sunrise. Food is wonderful - there are different greek dishes to try every day - from mussels to squid. It is not labelled but you can guess what it is and if not the restaurant manager will explain as he's very helpful. All inclusive drinks at the bar were perfectly adequate (ouzo was very nice!). The whole hotel and rooms are spotless. We had a family room which had 2 bedrooms, bathroom and kitchen. Air conditioning was perfect. There were always plenty of sunbeds around the pool - no sunbed wars here! All of the staff we encountered were so friendly and helpful, and they work so hard to keep everyone happy, fed and watered. Reception staff were also very helpful with bus information and sight seeing options. Location is perfect, just a short walk to the beach, Stalis shops, restaurants, bars and excursion offices (who were very helpful and reasonably priced). I really don't know how anyone can say anything bad about this hotel. For a 3 star all inclusive and the price you pay, it is very good value for money. I would definitely go back if I could.
