Koursaros Apartments in Sidari

When we arrived at apartments the lady was friendly we was shown to our room which was very small and basic . The light was very dull . The shower was so small the curtain stuck to you when using it . We noticed on using it there was a smell of sulphur coming up from the drains . Also upon flushing the toilet it leaked around bottom so you had smell of pee keep coming up . The bed was very comfortable . The cleaners was great with changing the towels and linen. There was no entertainment at these apartments the whole 7 nights we stayed here . Tui should not advertise this place . I will not be returning . The pool was very slippery also around the sunbeds there was cat poo so the smell from the there and grass was rife .

We arrived at the complex, a lady grunted and pointed round to the other side of the pool bar. Once round there we noticed this was the reception area. After around 10 mins a man came to check us in. I assume this was Mr Koursaros, but he never gave us his name so I have no idea. Paid for the air con - €8 a night, the room tax €1.50 per night, the safety deposit box €10 for the fortnight and then €36 which I didn’t notice he had added in until we got into the room and looked at the adding up he had done. When I asked him what that charge was for - the bbq on Weds for 2 people. I didn’t want to go to the bbq on Weds but it seems it’s compulsory!! No refunds once booked on! The rooms are very small, not much room to move around. 2 single beds, both very creaky, suspect they won’t last much longer but I was surprisingly comfy. Only one pillow but it is very well stuffed so only one needed. Not enough storage for clothes etc, single wardrobe with 2 small drawers under and then a dressing table with one drawer under, have had to use the table and 2 stools to put clothes on so we could unpack our cases. Bathroom is tiny, water pressure in shower is ok but the sink isn’t great. Shower curtain spends most of the shower stuck to you which is so annoying! Toilet lid is taped up for some strange reason. We had a small terrace outside, with 2 washing lines, 2 chairs and a table. Lots of cats living around the hotel which is fine by me, I love cats, although I didn’t really want the present of a headless lizard that one left on our terrace!! Wi-Fi only works in the pool bar so make sure you have lots of data. Pool is very small, looks like soup - sort of a murky colour, definitely needs cleaning. We didn’t see it cleaned in the whole time we were there. Pool bar can be quite loud on bbq night or even worse karaoke night (my poor ears!) or whenever the bar is busy, music until late on. Thankfully the air con drowns the noise out. Mr Koursaros doesn’t like it when you don’t use the pool bar as that’s where the money is made. So expect glares, muttering and just him being miserable when he sees you - you get used to it! Tbh only the cleaner actually replied when we said morning, the rest of the staff ignored us the whole time, prob as we weren’t spending money with them. Bedding and towels only changed twice in the time we were there. The sheet I had on the bed was very starched, every time I moved it crinkled like a crisp packet - became a running joke by the end of the holiday. Location wise it’s not bad, about 10 min walk to middle of strip. Although in the heatwave we experienced it was more like a crawl than a walk!! Also a large supermarket around the corner. Would u stay here again? Definitely not!! I’m not brave enough or daft enough!

Really must agree this the last few reviews… upon arrival the owner is only to happy to take a much money off you as he can (cash only) soon as you decide he’s had enough from you his attitude changes ! The rooms are very basic and you have to pay through the roof for air con (once again more money) the shower and toilet must be one of the worst I’ve ever had to use in Greece and should imagine they have been the same since the 70s …. Dodgy wiring and plug sockets throughout the place meant I was wary of letting my kids use them and a real lack of any real maintenance…. The cleaning staff and bar ladies were an absolute delight on the other hand and nothing was too much trouble…. The pool by the end of the week was like soup tho couldn’t even see to the bottom which made us decide probably a good idea not to use it along the a used large plaster which someone had left stuck to the side made us confirm this 🤢 ….it’s a shame as with a bit of basic maintenance this could be a lovely spot some new showerrooms/toilets in the rooms would drastically improve the place but that would mean spending money instead of acquiring it which the owner doesn’t seem interested in …as others have said the lagoon apartments you have to walk past every day shows what the place could be which makes you regret what your holiday could of been like
