We stayed at Sani Porto during half term with friends, and it was hands down one of the best holidays we’ve ever had! The setting is absolutely stunning – from the beautifully kept grounds to the luxury feel throughout the resort, everything was flawless.
The service was exceptional from start to finish – warm, friendly, and always willing to help. The food was outstanding too, with a brilliant range of restaurants that catered for both adults and kids.
Travelling with children, we found it perfect for all ages. The facilities are top notch, the beach is pristine, and the whole place has such a calm, elegant atmosphere. It’s rare to find somewhere that ticks every box, but Sani Porto truly does.
We made amazing memories with close friends and can’t wait to return. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a luxury escape with a personal touch!

Is it possible to stay in the hotel and get everything you need provided that your pocket is deep enough. The food is good. The hotel's beach I prefer in Sani Dunes. With a car, there are plenty of other beautiful beaches in short proximity, but if the idea is not to drive anywhere else, the beach is good enough.

We’re seasoned travellers and have lots of experience travelling internationally- both with and without the kids. Sani is extraordinary in its ability to cater for the whole family. So much is included in this idyllic resort to keep everyone busy - and the team are incredible at looking after everyone, big and small. From free pickups at the airport, to treetop adventures and bear grylls survival academy, and PADI diving there is something for the whole family. The beaches and pools are super clean and most importantly the staff are so friendly and helpful. For us, Nikoleta, Adelin, Marianna, and Ilias were fantastic the whole time. The resort has over 25 places to eat with the dine around half or full board options - and they don’t disappoint. We mostly drank the local Greek wines which were amazing but the cocktails are good too :) Breakfast (and lunch) at Ammos on the beach was idyllic and there’s lots of staple choice for the kids. Stay in a room that is part of the Sani suite collection if you want a 24-7 concierge and a number of other perks including free shuttles around the resort in a Volvo XC90, free daily cruises, and priority bookings at the restaurants to name a few.
The ethos of Sani is superb, including its conservation of the local area and sourcing of local ingredients. This is a real bonus.
This was our second time and we are already planning to go back again next year. It’s that good!

Favourite holiday! Was everything and more we'd hoped for. Staff were so attentive and lovely, hotel was incredible and had everything you could ever need. Such a wonderful place for a family. Will definitely be coming back next year! Thank you so much Sani Beach.

This review describes my specific set of circumstances, would not want to generalize as the Sani complex is quite large. We stayed at Sani Beach for 6 days, the second week after opening, in a Junior Suite (Beach) with our 2.5 yrs old daughter. Booking, contact and transport logistics were perfect. On arrival we had to wait a good 20-30 minutes to check in, were offered drinks which never arrived. Room was clean but dated (particularly the bathroom). Beach is oldest (and largest, 467 rooms) building in the complex, built in 1984 and renovated in 2010. Consequently it has material drawbacks. It smelled of damp (it is closed 5 months of the year) on arrival on a cold day. Has no sound insulation to speak of which is problematic at 100% capacity utilization. We could hear babies crying at 6 am, 3 doors down; neighboring rooms flushing toilet; and cleaning ladies shouting at each other at lunchtime. Room cleaning is more akin to a hospital or prison with cleaning ladies under huge time pressure wiping the floor with bleach and leaving them wet (my daughter slipped and fell once). Eating, and dining in particular, was a big problem for us. The in house canteen (Poseidon) is the only place one can eat without a reservation and although it is impressively large and well run it has queues at peak times. The Dine Around program featuring multiple restaurants is basically unusable unless booked well in advance of arrival. The Sani app is half the time not showing availability and the other half not working at all. We had to make a formal complaint, which was promptly addressed, to be able to dine away from the canteen a few times. Even attending the newer, nicer canteen (Artemis) for breakfast requires prior written consent (!) which was checked on arrival. Food quality, in our limited experience, is better at the Greek restaurants than at the other types. Surprisingly, the best food is at Poseidon which is actually an impressive operation given the large amounts of people it feeds every day. Large variety of food, changing very day, with some excellent local dishes. Kudos to Poseidon chefs. Activities are limited for under 6 yr olds, particularly when the weather is bad and the sea and outdoor pools are unusable. Confusingly, many activities for adults are not on the app but published on printed pieces of papers one can find in the elevators every morning. The grounds and beaches are in good nick with very nice and thoughtful landscaping. Staff in general is universally friendly and helpful which went a long way to improving our experience after a pretty shaky start.All in all our daughter had fun, we less so. Management and staff did their best to help but at 100% capacity utilization there was only so much they could do.
