Spathi Beach Suites Kea

TRAGIC EXPERIENCE. Unacceptable services for 350€ / day. Basic cleaning and in some places non-existent. Everything is very old, weathered, in poor condition. Unacceptable breakfast with no respect for the customer. It shows the complete disrespect of the owner towards his customers. The whole situation in this particular unit is on the verge of complaint. Only positive staff who can't save anything in all that exists. Of course I won't recommend it to anyone and I will prevent those who are thinking of visiting it because it really IS NOT WORTH IT. If you can avoid it! *regarding the road that everyone mentions, it is indeed true but at least it is something that they communicate to you from the beginning and you know it!

1. Very bad road that I almost had to break the car trying to cross it (something that was not mentioned anywhere). 2. Lack of wifi as well as any shop within a radius of at least 40 minutes from the accommodation. 3. Terrible breakfast with few choices (raw bacon and perhaps the worst quality fruit I have ever tasted). 4. Substandard cleanliness. There was mold in the bathroom as well as footprints on the shower floor. Definitely a no value for money option that I would not recommend to anyone. Inconvenient location, difficult access as well as poor quality services contributed to a disappointing experience.

The place and the beach are beautiful. The hotel is tasteful, spacious and has quality amenities. But…. access is difficult to dangerous. 5 kilometers, a rough dirt road with planted stones, with a slope, next to cliffs without a guardrail. Maximum speed 10-15 kilometers per hour so as not to destroy your car. Only 4x4 vehicles. And of course not at night (there is no lighting). If you want a vacation next to the beach (and only there) it is OK. But if you need anything (toothpaste, medicine, sunscreen, etc.) it is challenging. If you decide to stay there, the food options are a relatively expensive restaurant (but OK for the tourist season). We made the mistake and the first afternoon we left for supplies when we realized where we were. We got caught up in the night and couldn't return (we were forced to spend the night somewhere else). The next day we canceled the reservation, and I admit that the staff was very cooperative in getting a refund of part of the prepaid money. In short, a nice place, but you have to know in advance very well where you're going. You go, you stay there for all the days and you leave. It may sound romantic, but in the real world it's a bit dangerous not to have easy access to civilization (an allergy happens to you, you just don't make it in time, I'm not talking about something more important). The hotel is very good, but in 2022, no part of the civilized world should be allowed to have a tourist unit with such access. There is a big difference between adventure vacations and risky vacations. And it would be good if the various platforms where you book hotels were absolutely clear about what awaits you. One solution would be for the hotel to offer a shuttle bus service or boat transportation.
