We are going to Simantro Beach Hotel, Sani, in June 2008, We have children ranging from 1-11, It would be great to hear from anyone who has been there before with any information (Pro's or Con's). Thanks.

Nice hotel but very remote.It's on the beach surrounded by forest.The beach is sandy and safe.
I do believe that it's 90% German last time i was there so it may be worth checking.Unless your German of course in which case it will be fine

I echo Pedro, it is very remote. Although we have never stayed there, we have been out of season to the beach to collect shells! It looks a very nice beach, shallow water and safe. However, there is nothing else around. So unless you want a chilled out stay at the hotel holiday, then you may need to hire a car. I would suggest hiring a car anyway, it would be a shame to miss out on visiting other areas while you are here.

Cheers

Thanks both, there is a group of us of four families all from England, we are just looking for sand, sea and relaxing while the children play, so it all sounds lovely.

The sea is shallow and safe with hardly any tides or currents.There are walks that go through the woods to the resort of sani a few Km's away.They use to have a small bus to take you to the town of Kalithea

hello I to am travelling at that time with hoopsy and cannot wait
