Travelled with First Choice would not like to see their last choice. The hotel was diabolical.

Complained to First Choice about cleanliness, food, entertainment and overall staff behaviour and basically received a whitewash from them.

Please anyone going to this hotel be warned about the whole package however the waterpark was adequate to keep the kids happy when it was open.

Anyone saying the entertainment was good must be either easily pleased or tone deaf. We give it one because it won't allow us to give it zero.

Nothing would make us go back to this hotel not even if they gave it for free.

The hotel petra mare is a beautiful hotel, one which my boyfriend and I would definately travel to again. Reception Staff were amazing, and went out of their way to give help and knowledge whenever needed (and believe me I torturted them because our rep was useless and had no time for us at all.)
The food was lovely and traditional and although I heard a few complaints from other people I loved the greek cuisine. The entertainment left alot to be desired, but we loved dino who gave us alot of laughs on our holiday. He certainly is very dizzy. The kiddies reps were nice enough, however they could have smiled a bit more. We never saw our rep, he was never ever in his office (even though on the notice board it said he should have been there). We are not the type of people to complain however we were very dissapointed with the level of service we received from our rep. We did see him on one occasion in Cafe on the rocks, but he was somewhat intoxicated and never acknowlegded our presence. Very upset, thought first choice were all about excellent customer service.

All inclusive basis is the best when holidaying with children. Food and drink was on hand all day and children could come and go as they pleased to help themselves to drinks and ice-cream. The on-site aquapark was great for the kids, only slight draw back was that it was only open for 2 hours in the afternoon (minimum stated in the brochure). Although we went the first week in May there were still lots of children so it could have been open longer.

Usually accommodation in Greece is basic but the Petra Mare Hotel is quite the opposite, luxurious marble and wood reception with direct access to the beach, large bar with outside seating and a poolside snackbar serving food and drink until late into the evening. The restaurant varied the fantastic meals every day with a huge choice of meat, pasta and salad dishes (plus a to-die-for dessert area) The playground for the children was slightly out of the way but kept the kids away from the main pool side.

The hotel was always spotlessly clean, the maids did a very quick but thorough job on the bed and bathrooms and the waiting staff where very quick to tidy and clean away after meals and drinks.

The Kids Club for the children was great, having a varied programme of activities and on a couple of occasions gave the adults a break by taking the children for dinner in the evening. There were no set patterns to the sessions so that ment we couldn

We enjoyed our stay here so much, it was gr8, we only had one room though and then a separate room for the shower. The rooms were cleaned daily and towels, bed sheets were also changed every day.

The food was good although could do with being a little bit hotter, and having more variety instead of pasta every night. The hotel location was right near the town, but was also far away from anywhere else. Entertainment was not good.

If Kylie is on then I'd advise you to go inside. We would definitely advise families to visit this hotel. It was a great holiday!!!
