We have been holidaying in Kalamaki for a fair few years but never stayed this far up, we def were not disapointed. The hotel is very clean and well kept. The rooms themselves were spacious and got cleaned 6 days out of 7. All the staff were so very friendly and helpful. The Kids disco on a thursday evening was entertaining, the kids had a fab time! All in all one of the best hotels we have stayed in at the resort. Would def recommend to familys. Only small downside was that the air con was exspensive compared to other hotels that we had family staying in.
The hotel and surrounds are excellent , staff very helpful and friendly. Rooms basic but very clean and well serviced ( small point ,if you like toast take a cheapy toaster).Plenty of good places to eat and drink in Kalamki and the beach well maintained and closer than thought with good facilities available.
great staff YAMAS Maggie keep up the cockney . manager - come on the AEK
I have just returned to the UK after spending two weeks at the Amaryllis and had an absolutely fantastic time. The rooms were basic but perfect for our needs and all the pool and communal areas were kept well.
I went as part of a small group of friends (all 22 year old lads) and we found that part of what made the stay at the hotel so pleasurable was the friendliness of the all the staff, in particular Pamas, at the bar, who was an absolute hero! Machi the entertainer was fantastic with all the kids staying at the hotel and the owner (whose name escapes me) couldn't have been friendlier.
I would recommend the Amaryllis as a great place to stay, in a great location.
Obviously not as cheap as it used to be, in June we were paying about £30-£35 for a three course meal for 2 including a couple of drinks each. There are loads of places to eat and lots of them have specials on offer to fit any budget. Best place if you like an English breakfast we found was Vanessa on the main street, cant remember exact price but was a couple of Euros each cheaper than anywhere else. Found a place the same price but you got half the meal so ended up having to have something else later. We are going back again in September, cant wait. Enjoy
The weather will be cooling down in October and you can expect some rain during the day and particularly at night. Daytime temps are pleasant at around 21c-25c. May also be worth taking cardigans or light jackets for the night times.
I have been in October and many place start to close so choices were limited. Don't be put off by any of this as it's still awonderful place to be in October and you will return thinking what a great holiday.
Hi i have been reading through the comments and find some of them slightly off putting. I am going to Amaryllis hotel for the first time this year in October and was wondering what the weather was like and if there is much for the children to do, as i have never been to Greece before this will be a great help.
Just spoke with a friend who was at the Amaryllis for part of the said date and he said there were no groups of lads. He did say a few teenagers with their parents got a bit drunk and loud but it didn't ruin anyones holiday and didn't really last long.
The owners pride themselves on family orientated accomodation so if you do encounter problems, complain immedaitely.
Other than that, enjoy these wonderful apartments.
Thanks for you comments Vivien, really appreciate you replying. I am going to look forward to my holiday and like you said its unlikely this (if it was happening there) will be happening in September. Once again thank you and hope you all have a great holiday.
Just another note have you looked at the latest review on trip advisor for the Amaryllis in Kalamaki. No mention of the problems. I am just wondering if she has posted on the correct Amaryllis as there is one in Tsilivi.
Unlesss this hotel changed overnight on the day we left I am truly amazed at the comments made regarding not going here with children. We stayed at the Amaryllis from 17th July to 24th July 2009, and did not have any trouble whatsoever. We thought the resort was extremely quiet for the time of year as we have been and stayed at these apartments before. We felt the hotel was very suitable for families and the only group we saw were approx 6 very decent girls who left the day before us I think. Unless it drastically changed on the day we left again I am very surprised at this comment. My son has been in touch with a family who only arrived back on Monday 3rd August and am sure they have not commented on the goings on. If it is the case and the tour operators are putting groups here I very much doubt that they will be doing so in September, so I would not worry. We are thinking of going back again Sept/Oct to take my 85 year old mother as we know she would love it like we do.
oh dear that terrible I was recommended Amaryllis because it was ideal for families and couples so I have booked to go in September for two weeks. I have been looking forward
to this holiday so much but now I really am unsure if I even want to go. If anyone else goes over the next couple of weeks can you please let me know if this is still going on. I would rather lose the money than
have a nightmare holiday which yours must of been........
