Fantastic family-friendly accommodation in a great location

The Royal Hotel and Suites is a fantastic little resort in a great location, close to the traditional seaside village of Polychrono and nearby beaches.

It’s very family friendly and you’ll get personal service, as it only has around 70 rooms and suites.

It offers a lot for accommodation of this size. There’s a nice L-shaped pool, close to a bar and nearby snack kitchen, serving additional lunch items like burgers and chips.

The main buffet restaurant is nearby too, with plenty of food options for breakfast, lunch, and evening meals inside, and a nice outside seating area, complete with fans and shades.

Our suite was bright, clean and modern, with a lovely small private outdoor pool, complete with sunbeds and chairs. The suite had a decent rain-shower, with pebble flooring and an attractive stone sink. We had a good-sized fridge and our own coffee maker. The suites come with the added benefit of private cabana beds, close to the main pool, and access to an additional refreshment area, containing canned drinks, chilled wine and snacks.

The suites are close to a large green space, where children could play or guests could sit in shaded areas. This area also included a small play park at one end, complete with mini golf and giant chess, and there was table tennis at the other end. There are three other accommodation blocks, all only three-floors high, and there’s a small water park for younger guests. I really wish we’d found this resort when our kids were younger!

Our three (now almost grown-up) children shared a top-floor apartment, again with a modern bathroom and kitchen area, which had two separate sleeping areas and a good-sized balcony.

As well as the buffet, longer staying guests have an option to enjoy a small a la carte restaurant on one night of each week’s stay.

Polychrono is part of the Kassandra peninsula, the first of Halkidiki’s ‘three fingers’. It’s a bustling resort with plenty of bars, tavernas and shops. The nearest beaches are about a ten-minute walk from the Royal, but it has its own beach area, about a 20minute walk away, and guests can use a free shuttle bus too. The linked beach bar had a good range of drinks and lunch options.

All of the hotel staff were friendly and worked hard to keep the rooms, pools and grounds spotless and running smoothly. I’d particularly call out Christina, on reception; and Dimitrius, on the bar; as well as the friendly bus driver, who seemed to double up as a maintenance man and gardener too.

I’ve visited Greece and its islands many times and found this an ideal spot for a quiet and relaxing holiday.

A nice family hotel

This is an absolutely fine hotel for the price. The staff are nice, it's clean, has a nice pool, great kids pool and kids play area. It's definitely more of a 3* hotel (particularly the room we stayed in) and not super luxurious but also really nice for a family holiday as it's not loud and busy and it's a few minutes walk from the beach and the touristy shops and restaurants. We hired a car which was handy for getting out to explore less touristy beaches and restaurants. We were travelling with a 3 year old and the hotel buffet was actually ideal for what we needed for her and for the phase of life we're in right now. We still drove to other places for more authentic Greek lunches most days, so we were glad to be full board and not all inclusive. The breakfast was also absolutely fine in the hotel with plenty of options. If you're travelling with young children and want somewhere low key and relaxing, I would recommend this hotel.

Very delightful. Our best recommendation!!

One of the best hotels we visited. We stayed there a week and had an excelent experience. perfekt for children. the swiminig pools was perfectly tempered, no slippary floor, good grip around the pools so we never felt near to slip, a separated pool for the little ones, it was perfekt in all ways. The food was very good and variable, fresch, good desserts and ice cream, always clean tables and good service. We want definitely to visit it again. Big room, big balkony and big bathroom, this is how I want it. they had a big garden with gras and oliv treas, pefekt to be there to play or read a book. Minus for hard bed.

Relaxing but would not go back

My wife and I take the same week every year to celebrate our wedding anniversary (48 this year) and as normal were looking forward to a relaxing week. Firstly this is not a 4 star resort 3 at best, our room, a junior suite was very nice, no privacy on the balcony, no dividing screen between rooms just open metal work. The rooms were cleaned on a daily basis however on a poor basis, our tea/coffee cups were not cleaned only rinsed and turned over to dry still stained inside and out. 2 coffee pods and sugar were the only items left each day, no water, milk or tea. On arrival we tried to book the al a cart restaurant for our anniversary on the Wednesday (we checked in on the Monday) but was told it was fully booked and to try again the next day, we did with the same result, fully booked, on the Friday I was told there are no vacancies until next week after we had left, it was at this point I lost it with this jobs worth on reception, as we had walked past the restaurant at least twice every evening, it was either empty or maybe 2 or the 5 tables taken with guests (photo below) and suddenly they had a vacancy on Saturday night, was it worth the hassle, yes the best meal we had all week but nothing special, you have to pre order from the menu the day before, pointless as you do not get what you order, our calamari started was a chopped up mess and was more like a beef jerki it was that hard, you have a choice of 3 salads to have with it we chose the one most like a Greek salad, we received a parma ham salad, neither of us like parma ham so would not have ordered it. My main was sea bass, someone had tried to fillet it with a garden saw, the flesh was hacked to death and full of bones, supposed to be served with roast potatoes, it came with chips. Food in the main restaurant was very poor, they do not have a chef, not even cooks, but they do have willing staff. The food all seems to come in frozen and just needs 20 minutes in the oven before service or pre prepared in over sized ready meals, its all tasteless and luke warm to cold, we have eaten better in 2 star resorts and this is supposed to be 4 star, no table service, get your own cutlery drinks salt and pepper .

Sorry its a bit long, it was a lot longer this is the sanitized version. Now we move to what for a lot of us is the best part of the day, the evening entertainment and social bar area (see photo below) consisted of a hand full of tables and enough chairs for around 20 people, I assume there was around 200 guests so the other 180 would be expected to go out of the resort and pay for their entertainment and drinks, still that helps with the bottom line for the resort as everyone is not drinking for free on all inclusive and no entertainment all week.

I could carry on and on but will now sign off with the thought of us and many guests, 2 to 3 star at best, the goal of the owners is to make the food and bar area a less appealing as possible so we all go out to buy our food, drinks and entertainment, saving them a fortune in giving it away on an all inclusive basis. We always make the most of our holidays and we enjoyed this one, we needed the relaxation which we got. If you are thinking of booking a swim up room, I hope you do not like the sun as they have all been built facing north so never see the sun.
