Messinian Icon Hotel & Suites

Espectacular!!!

Excellent. Wow! So relaxing.nice room. Best views. Staff go over and above to make sure you have everything you need. Will be back.

Hotel is in a super location just outside Kalamata on the hillside. Very convenient for the airport, a 20 minute drive away. Large rooms with sea views. Large comfortable bed and plenty of storage. Bathroom had a good shower with plenty of hot water. Breakfast was only ok. The buffet, whilst plenty of choice, was a little dull and the cooked eggs etc looked well past their best come 10.00am. Very good coffee though. Dinner was good, attentive service and quick delivery of food on the sea facing terrace. A nice pool but very little shade to make it appealing to use in the afternoons as the terrace is west facing. Helpful staff especially on a late evening check in. It isn't immediately obvious where you need to go on arrival in the dark. We initially got out of our car at the lower level and blundered round for a few minutes before realising reception must be elsewhere: it was, you have to drive up to the upper level. The design of the hotel is stark minimalist. It needs the planting to grow a bit more to soften the edges and provide more shade. Good choice though for late fight arrivals and/or early departures and in a quiet location.
