더 다나이(The Danai)

From the beginning until the end of our stay, the service was really good. All the staff is professional, friendly and well trained. The hotel grounds are well maintained: lots of trees, flowers and clean. The pool area doesn’t have a lot of lounge chairs, but most people go to the beach anyway. At the beach, the staff provides you with fresh towels, watermelon, etc. The lounge chairs are very confortable, not too close to each other. Even if it was full on our first day, they found a way to accommodate us. The beach is quiet, very clean and calm water, but there are pebbles for 2m, then sand once you’re in the water. It can just be tricky to get in and out. The spa staff is welcoming and they gave us a really relaxing ayurvedic massage. The gym is well equipped, has AC and I enjoyed my session with the personal trainer. The rooms are all differently decorated, it’s particular but practical in terms of space. As for food, everything was delicious. High qualify products, lots of choices for meat or fish lovers, vegetarians and they can easily accommodate vegans too. My only comment to the hotel restaurants would be that fish dishes aren’t vegetarian dishes : vegetarian dishes do not contain fish or meat products. In a nutshell: excellent address if you want tranquillity, great food and excellent service !

What a gorgeous stay we had. A classic hotel, immaculately maintained with beautiful gardens, attentive, friendly service and incredible dining. We were upgraded to a Honeymoon Exec Pool Suite, front line and elevated with spectacular views of the beach and sparkling Northern Aegean Sea. All suites are spacious, light, airy and individually designed with a mix of classical and modern classic pieces. Dining is an experience, wonderful ingredients and delicious choices, four restaurants (open selected days) and a very impressive wine list. Chris, bar manager, is a great guy and wonferful company, as well as classic cocktails made to perfection he also adds his own twists and variations - all delicious! The perfect place if you want to feel totally relaxed but pampered and you enjoy all the lovely things in life.

The highlight of our stay was sitting for delicious greek meals overlooking the sea. The beach and the beach club and restaurants were well decorated if a bit ouf of synch with the rest of the resort. Several nice details such as the billiard room with books on display. While all meals were excellent the portions were hardly on the generous side and certainly pricey. Another strong point is the kindness of the staff in particular the smiling and helpful hostess team. One suggestion : offer more activities in particular during the day. All in all not cheap but a relaxing and very pleasant stay. The surroundings are definitely worth exploring.

wonderful stay, we had a beautiful private villa with 2bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, infinity pool, private garden and patio and with sea view. food in this resort was very tasty, mediterranean cousine. They always had fresh catch of the day, which was great.

We stayed in one of the amazing rooms with a pool and beautiful view. Food is amazingly delicious.The level of service is unprecedented for us. Kind, attentive but not overwhelming. The beach is calm and quiet, and the water is clear as a glass... Hope to come back again and highly recommended!

The story of Danai should be taken over by the business schools as a case study of excellent customer service, friendly organizational culture and flawless problem solving. We were impressed by the view of the beach and resort once we’ve set foot at the reception area but after our stay will remain with memories crafted by the whole team. As our kids said, “best vacation ever!” .

Danai is part of our yearly calendar now going each May and September when the weather is less hot. The resort is exceptional with its tranquil beach location, beautifully maintained gardens, and wonderfully appointed villas, impeccable and immaculate throughout. The food, selections of wines, dining settings and spa facilities and treatments are all stand out (thank you Marina, Aggeliki and Katerina!). At the heart of Danai is the family run ethos of the resort, reflected by the cheerfulness, positivity and continuity of staff at every level, where guests feel genuinely welcomed and appreciated throughout their stay. Thank you Kimon, Stella and the Danai team for creating such a positive life experience.

We stayed in the hotel for four nights in a pearl villa and our stay was fabulous. Everything about our trip was just perfect - the hotel staff, the restaurants, the overall service, the beach. The hotel is situated in a beautiful garden with many pine trees in the neighborhood just a few steps from the beach. We dined in all the restaurants and each of them serves very tasty food. He had our last dinner in the degustation restaurant and it was an extraordinary experience which I strongly recommend to everyone who is staying in the beautiful hotel.

Danai Beach Resort & Villas was part of our 30th anniversary trip—we had gone to Greece 30 years ago for our honeymoon. We did not go tot the Thessaloniki area the last time we were in Greece. Given that this was the second half of May, the high season had not yet started. As a result none of the facilities were heavily occupied, and we got extraordinary attention from all the staff. The weather happened to cooperate with us and was sunny and in the high 70s most days. We had an incredible time and the accommodations, spa, pool and beach were all 5-star level. The food at the restaurants was superb—during our 4 night stay, we didn’t feel bored with the menu, which is surprising since we live in New York. Furthermore the wine service was spectacular. In fact, they made a huge investment in their wine cellar to expand their collection to 40,000 bottles, and on top of that have actually planted vineyard in order to better have wine education classes. Couldn’t have been happier with our experience. Mr. Komin Riefenstahl runs a world class facility.
