Sincere Lagomandra Seashore Resort Overview (Sithonia in Halkidiki, Greece)

We stayed on the Lagomandra Seashore Resort at the beginning of Might, which we quickly came upon was a bit of untimely. However, regardless that it was nippy (and rained!) I wished to share our expertise to assist with the tough alternative between Halkidiki resorts…

The 4-star Lagomandra Seashore Resort








is situated on the second ‘leg’ or ‘finger’ as they’re recognized, of Halkidiki’s three. It’s simply off the pine-shaded sandy shore of Lagomandra Seashore, that means you will have each the resort swimming pools and the ocean in your swimming.

There’s Lagomandra Seashore Resort, after which Lagomandra Resort & Spa simply behind. By staying at one, you get entry to the amenities at each – little bit of a bonus!

Our bed room at Lagomandra Seashore Resort

We stayed in a ‘Junior Suite with Sea View’. There have been so many various names for the rooms it was a tricky name, however we simply went for probably the most flooring house seeing as there was three of us. It was clear and shiny, with a big rest room, a balcony and a fridge. We had a big double mattress, and the couch mattress was made up for Reggie.

We did have an issue with the lavatory on the second day, in that the door wouldn’t open on the bathe. They despatched somebody up immediately and he fastened it ASAP – which did find yourself being about an hour however these items occur, I assume.

The room additionally included air-con, a protected, and Wi‑Fi. Parking was free, and we obtained an area simply outdoors the resort (somewhat than within the automotive park over the street).

Swimming pools at Lagomandra Seashore Resort

First off, Reggie and I have been determined to get within the pool. We may see it from our balcony and the actual fact nobody was in it made me a bit of suspicious. We obtained modified, went down, poked our toes in, and sure, it was COLD.

We didn’t let that maintain us again although, and in we jumped. The pool was a very good measurement, with a shallower kiddie bit off the facet however nonetheless linked.

There was a pool bar there serving very giant servings of Prosecco, which I loved completely.

It was simple to get to the opposite resort over the street, by way of a raise and a bridge – which in fact my three 12 months previous beloved. The Lagomandra Resort & Spa’s pool was positively higher, however in case you keep on the Lagomandra Seashore Resort, you’re clearly nearer the seaside, and have the higher view out of your balcony.

The Lagomandra Resort & Spa’s pool was one huge linked pool, however with totally different sections. You’ll be able to’t really see it on this picture however around the again was a kiddie pool that simply went as much as Reggie’s knees which was enjoyable for him, but additionally, chilly.

I really beloved the recent feeling right here, and seeing because it was chilly – nobody else was in it. Winner.

Extra issues to do

At Lagomandra Resort & Spa there was a terrific kiddie’s room the place throughout peak season they’ve a child’s membership. In Might you could possibly simply take the youngsters in your self. Reggie beloved this climbing wall, and operating round within the shade.

There have been arcade video games outdoors, and a basketball courtroom too.

The seaside

The truth that the seaside had pine bushes meant, in fact, that there have been pine needles on the ground. We went to look at the sundown, which was lovely, however the subsequent day Reggie and Ben each wakened with many bites.

So many we needed to get some cream from the pharmacy once we obtained again to Thessaloniki. After we advised the pharmacist we’d been to Halkidiki she simply nodded in understanding – in all probability wasn’t the perfect thought.

The seaside did have just a few Wendy homes to play on although, which was a beautiful contact – simply don’t go at sundown!

There was a children leisure programme on the resort, which sadly didn’t run on a Monday once we have been there.

Foods and drinks on the resort

We had breakfast and dinner included in our £110 resort value, which appeared a fairly whole lot.

Breakfast was good – tons to select from and eggs freshly cooked for you.

Dinner was okay for one night time however I wouldn’t wish to be staying all inclusive and having that each night time. It wasn’t a patch on the resort buffet on the Domes Resort within the Algarve we just lately loved.

Drinks weren’t included in our half board charge both, in contrast to my current resort expertise on the Alcudia Aparthotel in Majorca.

The resort restaurant expertise was advantageous for one night time, however fairly soulless and the workers have been uninterested. Was it the time of 12 months? I don’t know.

Locations to go to close by

Keep at Lagomandra Seashore Resort and also you’re in a terrific location for the delights of Sithonia in Halkidiki. Listed below are among the nice meals experiences I had close by…

Ergon Seashore Home in Nikiti

I went right here final 12 months after I was visiting the world on a press journey. Very cool.

We tried to go this 12 months but it surely wasn’t opening for an additional two weeks or so, which was unhappy. So in case you’re visiting Halkidiki in Might bear it thoughts that some locations don’t open until the tip of the month.

Ergon Seashore Home has several types of lodging for various budgets. My brother and his household did a boujis tenting expertise right here final 12 months and had a good time.

I’d love to remain right here with Reggie a while. There’s an outside cinema, the ocean, superb meals and many actions to get pleasure from. However primarily, it’s the meals.

Velona in Nikiti

After we couldn’t get into the Ergon Seashore Home we went again into Nikiti city, a few 4 minute drive away and stumbled throughout Velona Seashore Bar. It turned out to be a superb alternative – I used to be very pleased with my salad. Ben had a fairly spectacular wanting membership sandwich with fries too.

Weirdly it doesn’t appear to have a very good TripAdvisor rating however I’d really say it was considered one of my favorite restaurant experiences on that complete week’s journey – appears to be like like folks needed to wait too lengthy for his or her receipts.

Anyway, Velona was proper on the seafront and had sunbeds and much (too many?!) of these rides for teenagers to play in close by. We didn’t even have any euros in money however Reggie nonetheless had a good time enjoying on all of them whereas we waited for our order.

Take a look at this put up on some nice locations to eat in Halkidiki from after I visited the 12 months earlier than. I’d positively suggest having a automotive to discover Sithonia’s greatest seashores and villages. Though I did see this bus schedule up at reception in case you want public transport.

Lagomandra Seashore Resort assessment in a nutshell

The Lagomandra Seashore Resort was a terrific expertise for what we wished, which was an in a single day journey out of Thessaloniki to see a bit extra of the world. It was simple to get to in simply over an hour from the town, with some lovely views alongside the best way and was a spacious, clear and recent resort to remain at.

I feel in case you have been staying for longer you may be a bit pissed off on the truth you want a automotive, or a love of strolling, to get anyplace. And I wouldn’t suggest staying all inclusive primarily based on the dinner we had. I’d additionally suggest going from the tip of Might, somewhat than at the beginning.

Gatwick airport parking and resort

We flew to Thessaloniki from Gatwick – staying on the Bloc Resort the night time earlier than. Have you ever seen my Reel about Bloc Resort on Instagram? I really assume the Premier Inn is healthier in case you’re staying with household, however Bloc is nice in case you’re solo.

We used ilovemeetandgreet.co.uk for our Gatwick parking. I’ve had some unhealthy experiences prior to now with different firms and valet parking, so I’m at all times a bit nervous however the ease of communication made I Love Meet and Greet stand out.

Reserving was simple after which I phoned ten minutes earlier than arrival to warn them we have been coming. We have been advised to park simply outdoors Premier Inn on the North Terminal they usually have been there ready and able to take the automotive. After we returned we phoned once we picked up our luggage, they usually have been there about quarter-hour later. Easy and simple – I’d positively suggest them.

I Love Meet and Greet serve Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Birmingham and Manchester.
