Almira Mare

The hotel is far from the city center, but very suitable for those looking for some peace and quiet. In a short walking distance you will find excellent Greek restaurants. The breakfast is excellent. In my opinion, the hotel is better than the options near the boardwalk in Chalkis.

So when we booked this property, we thought we had booked for 2 people staying but it was for one so we had to pay extra 80 euros. To cover the additional person's stay and breakfast. Hotel is too pricey for the area and location. Hotel is linked to one taxi driver who is extremely rude and over charges you each time he picked us we were stuck with him. You have no choice but to use the rude taxi driver with mood swing. Oh their bed is extremely uncomfortable. Gave us body pain we couldn't wait to get back to our own bed at home. Rooms were cleaned daily. Breakfast options is pretty limited and quite bland. The lift seems ancient (never seen such before) you push the door to open and close it and as the lift go up, you'd literally see the walls in between each floors. The tarvarn outside have lovely and friendly staff but their food is bland. The squid was salty and the chips horrible. The ladies at the reception desk are lovely and friendly, they tried their best to help. The hotel has some nice views around for pictures. There is nothing much happening around the hotel area, it's pretty much dead. There is no boat ride activities for tourists, I won't recommend this hotel and Chalkida it is not a place for tourists, a random place to go on holiday. The hotel is also some hour and half away from the airport so quite some distance. No spa, massage etc. The a/c in reception area is permanently off and you’ll find cats and dogs roaming freely around the hotel and restaurant.

What a great place to stay! I visited for five days with family and it was an amazing experience. The hotel staff were very helpful and efficient, the facilities were excellent and the whole complex was spotless. We spent hours sitting by the pools or dipping into the sea which was just 20m away! The whole area is very green and peaceful with a good selection of restaurants around. Even better, we booked to have breakfast and one meal a day at the hotel and were amazed to find out that those were served at a great seafood taverna by the hotel! Both Chalkida and the gorgeous beach of Alikes are about 15 mins away by car. Very highly recommended for a relaxing holiday with family and friends.
