Anthemus Sea Beach Hotel and Spa

Best hotel ever... Excellent location, beautiful room, delicious food and very helpful and kind people that make the stay feel like home from home. We come back every year because it is so good. Thank you all for such a wonderful experience.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the hotel and intend to return in the future. The beach area was well-maintained, and the service was courteous. Our room boasted ample space and tasteful decor, offering picturesque views of the beach. However, there are areas that could use improvement. The daily cleaning service fell short; despite requesting fresh bathrobes on the second day, they were not provided until our departure, and one replacement was torn. We also had to ask for shampoo and shower gel replacements, and there were fewer towels than expected. Over time, we’ve observed a decline in food quality across various hotels, prompting our decision to seek alternatives. While the breakfast at your hotel was satisfactory, the quality of cheese, salami, and ham was lacking. The so-called “fresh” orange juice appeared to be a blend of boxed juice and minimal freshly squeezed juice, which was misleading. Additionally, there was a notable reliance on semi-prepared ingredients, with a lack of homemade touches evident, even in the Easter cake. Dinner experiences varied greatly, with inconsistencies in quality and variety from one day to the next. This could potentially be attributed to changes in the chef, although it was noticeable. Furthermore, the absence of a kids menu was surprising. Expanding the wine and sparkling wine selections would be advisable. Regarding children’s entertainment: every day the samethe 30-minute disco.

We stayed five nights in this very nice hotel. Almost everything was exactly like we expected it and wanted it. The service was always competent and fast. The breakfast and dinner were very delicious and with a variety of choices that fits everyone preferences. The spa and wellness was separately a dreamy experience, the facilities were very attractive and the team was very friendly and professional especially Mrs. Florenta which took a very good care of us there and made sure that we leave only satisfied.

As soon as we arrived we knew we had chosen a great hotel, everything was immaculate, clean and tidy. The hotel staff were always very pleasant and very helpful. We knew that the hotel was quite isolated, with only a free shuttle bus service at either 9.30am or 11am running into Neos Marmaras daily for a short 3 hour stay being our main venture out. There is an onsite car hire firm for those wishing to venture further. As the hotel is isolated there were two things that stood out for me, firstly the animation team led by Paco, including Odys and Nick, they have a great daily program for adults as well as a full kids program to keep everyone entertained. Everyday we would join them for something, darts, football, quiz night, disco night, volleyball, they also did aqua zumba, yoga, board games at the pool bar, we also took a short walk up a mountain. These guys were great to be around, very funny and made our holiday. Next, the restaurant. I always go away and am fairly selective in what i have for dinner always finding food i love as well as food i am less keen on, but here... I couldnt find anything i didnt like, it was so good, one night I think I had 4 full plates i needed an early night to lay down after. I visited the spa a few times for some light gym work before booking a back massage with Christina who was amazing, Sophia was lovely from the moment we met her showing us around the spa and what was available. We used the outside pool beside the pool bar many times which was the perfect temperature to relax in and we visited the a la carte restaurant Yialos on a couple of occasions where the chef cooked our fish to perfection. I always like to visit different locations when I travel and not keep returning to the same places but I would definitely return here. I only hope Paco, Odys and Nick are still there if I do. A big thank you to everyone at Anthemus Sea spa resort. Kind regards Martin

Amazing hotel, with excellent service! 5* service indeed! Fantastic and fresh food, various choices! We enjoyed breakfast and dinner for 10 days. Sooo pleasent experience having meals at the restaurant of this Hotel. So welcoming staff and management of the restaurant. Many thanks to Ivan for his proffesional aproach and hospitality! We stayed in 101 apartment, close to the beach,on ground level, wich is very convinient for families with small kids. We travelled with 3 kids (a baby, toddler and a 6yrs old). A minute away from our apartment was the main restaurant, the beach as well, the pool... The beach is sandy, shalow water, great for kids. The pool is clean, Taverna and beach bar have great food and drinks ( good for lunch). We tried every venue at the Hotel except SPA and Piano bar. Disco nights for kids are so memorable for kids. There is playground in the shade, and a playroom with entartaiment staff inside of property. Entire property is very well maintained, it is obvious on every corner. Fresh and watered flowers, lawns... Our room was new and impecable, great bathroom , spacious waredrobe, big and comfortable bed! Housekeeping ladies did a great job cleaning our room on daily basis❤️. Small shop is nice and prices are reasonable, you can get water, snacks, drinks, icecream...some basic things and souveniers as well. We made reservations directly through sales team and front office! Danijela and Aleksandra from Front desk are very kind and professional! The staff of entire Hotel is very polite and helpfull! Staying at Anthemus Sea Hotel is defenetly the best stay we had in Greece so far, and we visit once or twice during summer. We will defenetly come back again! Tanja and Ivan

What a wonderful place to stay and to enjoy greek hospitality! The Hotel well deserves its 5 stars, especially due to the staff. They love what they do and it shows - even in the last week of their long season! We will come again for sure!

Highly recommend this wonderful family run hotel . If you are looking for a relaxing holiday, enjoy sea swimming in beautiful clear calm waters, don’t want loud club music but chilled laid back evenings then this could be your ideal place . Great variety in the restaurant, Ivan the manager always made us feel so welcome & if you can find Stanislav in the mornings for breakfast pick his area in the restaurant that he looks after as he is outstanding. Many Europeans visit this hotel but very few Brits, I can’t understand why ?

Generally a 1st class experience with everything functioning very well, starting already at the arrival, with a glass of "bubbles" in the spacy and pleasant reception area, duly attended by the competent staff there. Our wish for a quiet room away from bar and pool noise, but still with sea view towards west, was heeded - as best they could. When that is said, here are the few "thumb downs" that I would mention: Our room then on the other hand had an open back entrance quite affected by the evening entertainment in the amphie-theatre. It was nice to be able to step outside on the "shadow side" and look towards the mountains. The entertainment for children and teens there is certainly also commendable, but it should stop at 10 pm - AND/OR the shouting by the entertainers (using microphone and reminding one a sports commentator), even at 10.30, should be scaled down. But it did end around that time. I am sure that in this small theatre, everbody will easily hear the "cheer" even without a microphone!! In short, there seems to be no real "evening quiet" anywhere in the hotel - except perhaps for the less attractive rooms facing the pathway at the southern side. But as said, it DOES NOT affect your sleep after 10.30-11.00 pm. The overconsumption of towels - even in the year 2023 when environment and climate is a top priority - should be seriously reconsidered. Already many years ago hotels in other countries had more focus on reducing unnecessary washing of towels. - Every day new towels were placed, even on the beds around the pools. I can understand that re-use of beach towels may be difficult, as few people will take them to their rooms, dry them and use them again the next day, but at the pools it should only be an OPTION to get a new one every day. At both places new towels should NOT automatically be placed on sunbeds. They could be "for handout" on request - just as I saw at the beach on Lucy Hotel in Kavala in 2017, and there could be sign posts at pools and at the beach saying, e.g. "PLEASE USE YOUR TOWELS FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT. NEW TOWELS ARE AVAILABLE FROM THE STEWARD ON YOUR REQUEST". ! The menu of the taverna is a bit strange. Some appetizers are actually as big as main courses. So long as you know that the "Fried calamares..." can actually serve as a main course it is fine, but the grouping should be reviewed. Also, the menu is lacking Greek specialities, like Kleftiko. We were very happy with the 1/4 wines. Both white, rosé and red were excellent quality - contrary to what is often the case with small bottles. Also the compliment desert of a small "baclava", a scoop of ice cream and/or water melon was appreciated. The area is very beatiful, but unless you go for a total relaxation holiday at the premises, a car is recommended to go to the Eastern side for the very best beaches and to go around the Peninsular. The sourther tip, with a view towards Mount Athos is stunning. We hire a car from a local company

I have visited the resort with my family in September. I'm giving the highest rate of the hotel, because we have received free of charge upgrade of the rooms to mini apartments with garden view. I am very happy of this. The cleanig service of the rooms has been excellent. The rooms are situated close to the restaurant, to the beach and to the kids club, which is very important for a family with small kids. The public areas of the resort are very clean with excellent maintence. The pools and the beach are also very clean. The sea water is also very clean and it is not deep, that is why it is very suitable for small children. But I have several recommendations: 1. The kids club to be with longer working time, or at least the working hours to be changed. It is closing at 17:30, which is too early. It would be nice if the kids club is opened during the end of the dinner time. 2. It would be nice to be orgsnized a little bit more entertainments for the adults 3. It would be nice the water for dinner to be free of charge 4. It would be nice the menu of the buffet for dinner to be with at least one idea higher quality, because it daes not correspond to the 5 stars of the resort
