Varkes Beach

A beautiful resort, with both, an amazing pool adjoining a beautiful seaside. Plenty of lounge area everywhere. Staff was ridiculously attentive and concerned about your stay. If I have to put anything adverse comments, its minor..... the gym is small, but theres one inside and outside (but only idiots like me work out on vacation); room safe had no instructions (but they came and programmed it for me); shower didn't have a shelf for amenities (but they came and installed it immediately)... did I mention the staff was attentive? lol. So there's really nothing at all to complain about. Perfect place to stay and have an amazing time in Cassandra. The city center is a mere 5 minute walk away. I will stay there again, no doubt.

The Resort Manager, Juleana was amazing, extremely kind and helpful. Tried her best to accommodate us. The cleaning staff was good. The hotel is extremely old and the rooms are not renovated. The plumbing needs to be redone. My shower did not drain the water quickly although maintenance came up twice with a toilet plunger to plunge the water. When turning on the water in the shower the head moves and spray the water out of the tub. You have to hold the shower spray when taking a shower. The cooling in the room was noisy. The hallway vents dripped due to humidity and condensation. The elevator landing and hallways smells terribly and lacks cooling. The grounds are not maintained and the resort do not have valet parking, no welcome drinks when you check in and the area by the ice cream store smells of fish. The location is excellent only for the beach and the entire staff works extremely hard to accommodate the guest. The end result is that the hotel owner needs to spend the money to renovate the resort. The staff can only do so much. Mr. Carras, if you renovate the resort and have water activities plus have better selection of restaurants we will return. Until then, Noooo….I would definitely hire Juleana to work for me in NYC to manager million dollar luxury buildings because she is a darn good manager. She knows her job well.

Lovely hotel. Disappointed with the room as it was sold as a sea view balcony. However we were on the floor with a concrete wall so you only had a view when standing up. Sitting on the outside furniture and all you could see was a wall.
