Really nice staff at reception and restaurant. Lovely designed hotel close to the beach. Pet friendly so our 2 dogs could enjoy as well. Variety of food was offered at the buffet for breakfast and dinner. Good price as well. This was our second year coming there so we do recommend it.

We were very bothered by the mosquitoes after dark in our room. Pls set up thin/net curtains by the door! The view, the beach, and the beachbar were perfect! Lovely and friendly staff - very helpful! Loved our stay!

Brilliant!!

Reviewed By Cloudwalker587

AMAZING! The resort is based on 3 pillars. Eat, sleep and beach. To say the food is served outside under very nice tents would be an understatement… What an experience to sit outside overlooking the ocean with dolphins jumping around. Yes Dolphins. Granted they are not there every night, but that would be too much. The chef and his crew prepare excellent greek dishes with a modern touch. Thankfully not too modern. Due to the secluded location it is very quiet. The rooms are very spacious and luxuriously equipped. The internet works very well everywhere. The beach is private with very comfortable, Sunbeds, umbrellas, towels, and a great beach service is included. The water itself is beautifully clean. No water sports except the pink inflatable flamingo. The star of the beach. The staff are amazing!!! All of them are excellent hosts, friendly and smiling all the time, hence mentioning names would not be fair. Thank you!

Need Improvements

Reviewed By speedy125

Our first impression was Irina from the Mini Market, she was very nice and friendly, felt warm welcome. Food was good and waitress with excellent manners, Girls in reception informed us the activities around the area with lots of enthusiasm. Bar and service in general was great. Pool was clean, but we thought they can open easier and close it a bit late, after all you are there on holiday to relax. Room was clean, but here is the point for you to improve... Toilets need desperately an update, more light and better system of ventilation. Air condition and dehumidifier were to noisy, luckily it was not that hot so we survive. In general most of the hotel & staff was good, just need that improvement on the toilet area.

Makedonia Hotel

Makedonia is a 2-star hotel, located in the center of the Ouranoupoli resort. The hotel features all necessary prerequisites for a relaxing and easy-going vacation. A few beaches are within a short distance from the property. More so, exceptional dining and shopping opportunities are nearby. Finally, the Ouranoupoli port, from where you can set sail to discover Halkidiki, is a stone’s throw away.

It is okay

Reviewed By 258marjanp

The rooms are kind of okay. They are cleaned everyday and that is not a problem. The drainage in the bathroom needs to be fixed because i had to wash my teeth with pauses so i don't overflood the sink. The most hypocritical think is that the owner doesn't allow room smoking but he smokes at the reception. I would say its close to the city centar but you could walk across the city for about 20 minutes.

Comfortable rooms, friendly staff, nice atmosphere

Reviewed By Cristina T

We had a very good time at the Sunset Hotel. Some of the things we loved most about this hotel were: - the comfortable and clean room - the balcony with furniture where we could have a nice glass of wine and admire the sea view - the dog friendly policy. We could bring our dog, Snoop, with us and everyone was so nice to him! - the free parking available (sometimes finding a parking spot in Ouranopolis is tricky) - the outside terrace where you can have breakfast or spend some time durring the evening - the pleasant atmosphere - Brian ❤️

Clean hotel

Reviewed By Dan T

I spent only one night but the hotel was clean and decent in term of space. My room was a bit smelly (naphthalene) but I was fine with it. Not my first option but I recommend it. The hotel has a really small pool so not the best option for a longer vacation.

Reviewed By Gaby L

We had 9 days at Nikos and Marily`s place on the main street of Ouranopoli and so far this was the summer brake we would love to repeat (usually we like to be at new place every year). Everything is close by- the boats, the beach, shops and restaurants. Nikos was always ready to answer all we asked, even some history of the village :-).Rooms are very clean, serviced daily-love the smell of fresh sheets and towels. Fridge is bigger than any other place we`ve been to with freeze camera where colod water were put for us, there is kettle and nice big hair dryer. The main issue there is parking which will be no problem from next season as Nikos and Marily will have their own place for customers. Thank you Nikos and Marily for the unforgetable experience we had at your lovely place and see you soon. Greetings from Nina, Nikola and Nicole :-)
