Makryammos Bungalows

We recently stayed at this resort, and while the location and property are stunning, several aspects fell significantly short of a five-star standard. Upon arrival, the front desk did not take into account our prior email communication, which caused a delay in check-in after a long journey. However, the front desk staff were courteous, acknowledged the oversight, and offered an upgraded room category. Their professionalism in handling the situation was appreciated. The resort’s setting is exceptional — beautifully maintained grounds and a fantastic beachfront. The beach is a highlight, and the beach bar team was friendly, efficient, and delivered a well-curated offering. The seafood restaurant also stood out: the food was high quality, and the service team delivered an excellent dining experience. Unfortunately, the all-day dining restaurant — which serves breakfast and dinner — was a major disappointment and does not align with what one would expect at a five-star property. Breakfast quality was poor. Juices came from outdated dispensers, and even basic items like omelettes were difficult to get. The egg station was disorganized, and the overall experience felt more like a low-tier cafeteria than a luxury resort. Dinner was no better. Despite the resort's seaside location, seafood was almost entirely missing from the buffet. The live cooking station repeated the same limited items — overcooked chicken, pork, and occasional beef stew — day after day. Fresh grilled fish appeared just once during our 7-day stay. A proper selection of fresh, grilled seafood like calamari or octopus — something you’d reasonably expect at this price point — was entirely absent. To be fair, the restaurant manager was very professional, visible, and genuinely tried to improve the experience. His effort was noticeable and appreciated. Unfortunately, the poor food quality and lack of variety were issues far beyond his control — a clear sign of deeper issues in kitchen leadership and standards. At €320 per night, the dining experience — particularly the buffet — is far below expectations and simply not worth the price. We had originally planned to have all our meals at the resort, but ended up dining out most nights just to find something decent to eat. In summary, the resort itself is beautiful, and the service team — though mostly young and still learning — is trying hard. The restaurant manager deserves recognition for his efforts. However, the Food & Beverage operation as a whole urgently needs serious attention. Until that is addressed, guests may want to book room-only and make separate dining arrangements elsewhere.

An absolutely amazing place. Very good service & wonderful array of food. Accommodation as bungalows and set amongst the hills & trees was a different experience. Golf buggies offering free transport for guests was a nice surprise I would highly recommend Makryammos, Thassos & would definitely go back there
