Sani in Greece
Sani is a private holiday village in mainland Greece.
We went to Sani in May 2012 and stayed in Sani Beach Club. There are 4 different types of accomodation, and each offers a slightly different experience.
The location is fabulous, and feels very safe. They have their own Marina with restaurants and shops. The shops are pricey, as are children's nappies, milks, wipes, swim nappies and suncreams. I recommend you take as much as you can!!
Accomodation in Sani Beach Club is lovely. We had a suite, the largest accomodation they offer. It wasn't huge but it did fit a king size bed, two travel cots and a couple of chairs. You have your own private garden which was lovely to sit in whilst the children slept. The only issue we had was that there was 5 marble steps in the suite that my new walkers found fabulous to try and walk up and down. The hotel didn't have gates to fit the steps and within the first day my son had fallen and banged his head on the steps. After a talk with the hotel manager they made a gate and fitted it. We were given 5star service and as far as problems go, they were so efficient in fixing it and making sure we were all happy we let it go.
The restaurants are incredible! The buffet is friendly asnd welcoming and the food is good enough, but not amazing. However, the dine around food stretched to 10 restaurants (check current inclusions) and the restaurants were incredible. The food, the locations, the views, were all exquisite. You have to be quick to get them booked, but they're worth the hassle!
We booked our one year old twins in for a few sessions in the kids club. I own and Manage my own Full day-care Nursery, so when I arrived I went in, thoroughly inspected it, spoke to all the staff, and then relaxed! It was a great club, and our children had a wonderful time (I know, I sat on the beach staring at them for most of their sessions!!) and we enjoyed a bit of 'us' time and relaxed in the sun. The hotel also has a Dr on site, which is reassuring to any Mum!
A wonderful holiday, albeit pricey. They're really geared up for families and for twins. We hope to go back again in the next couple of years and have happily recommended Sani to all our friends! It's a hotel for couples who always went on nice holidays and now have children! No sign of a Butlins style entertainment team! Fabulous!
