I stayed at Porto Carras Grand Resort for two nights in May 2026 with my partner. Overall, we had a very enjoyable stay - mainly thanks to the exceptional service - but there are also a few important downsides, especially regarding food temperature and coffee. From the very first moment, the service was outstanding. Our luggage was taken care of immediately, and we were warmly welcomed by genuinely kind and attentive staff. Throughout the entire stay, every interaction felt natural, friendly, and professional - always helpful, always in a good mood, and never intrusive. It’s rare to experience such consistently positive service across all areas of a hotel, and this really stood out. The lobby is large, modern, and very impressive. Since our room wasn’t ready yet, we were offered a welcome drink right away, which made the short wait very comfortable. Check-in itself was quick and smooth. We received a complimentary upgrade to a sea view room, which was a great surprise. The room was very spacious, slightly dated in style, but spotlessly clean. The view over the marina was beautiful and added a lot to the overall experience. Cleanliness across the entire resort was excellent - from the rooms to the lobby, buffet area, pool, beach, and even staircases. Everything felt very well maintained. The location is another big highlight. The resort is set on a large, gated property with security and direct access to the sea. The pool area is clean, spacious, and well equipped with plenty of sunbeds and umbrellas, and the beach is just steps away with a beach bar serving surprisingly good coffee. A special plus: there is a golf club right next to the resort, just a 3-minute walk away, which is perfect if you enjoy golf or simply want a beautiful surrounding for walks. However, the main downside of our stay was clearly the food temperature and the breakfast coffee. Breakfast offers a very wide selection - eggs, pancakes, waffles, bread, cheese, desserts, plant-based milk, nuts, and more. In terms of variety, it’s excellent. But the coffee from the fully automatic machines was genuinely disappointing and not what you would expect from a 5-star hotel. Even more importantly, much of the food was only lukewarm. Unfortunately, this was a consistent issue. Dinner had the same problem. The selection is large and the food itself tastes good, but again, most dishes were only lukewarm, which significantly affects the overall experience. In addition, if you arrive later, a noticeable part of the buffet - especially desserts - may already be gone. Some items are refilled, but not all. Drinks at dinner are also relatively expensive. The hotel can get quite loud, particularly during breakfast and dinner times, as there are many families with children, which sometimes makes the atmosphere feel a bit busy and chaotic. Overall, I would still come back, especially in the off-season, as the price-performance ratio is very good. However, for a 5-star hotel, the issues with lukewarm food and poor breakfast coffee should definitely be improved. Pros: * Outstanding service - consistently friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming staff * Excellent cleanliness throughout the entire resort * Very spacious rooms, beautiful marina/sea views * Great location: secure, directly by the sea * Nice pool and beach area with plenty of space * Golf club right next to the resort (3-minute walk) * Good value for money (off-season) Cons: – Food consistently only lukewarm (breakfast and dinner) – Poor coffee quality at breakfast (fully automatic machines) – Dinner buffet not fully restocked later in the evening – Drinks at dinner relatively expensive – Can be noisy and crowded at peak times Rating: 4/5 ⭐

DEFINITELY NOT A 5 STAR RESORT This gives the feel of a resort that was once upon a time 5 star resort. I’ve had the pleasure of staying in numerous 5 star resorts, unfortunately this one is at the bottom of the list. This didn’t mean it was a terrible stay, it’s just not 5 stars. I think they need to adjust this marketing in order to avoid people being disappointed. PROS: - Most of the staff were very polite and helpful - The pool and beach area are lovely - We had no issues with room service, they were always helpful when called (saw reviews where people’s requests were being ignored) CONS: - The food, I cannot explain how far away from 5 stars the food is. Least favourite buffet I have encountered unfortunately. We ended up going into town for most meals (even though we had half board) the food in town is delicious and actually makes you feel like you’re in Greece. - The buffet is also carnage, so many people pushing and shoving you out of the way. It seems they could extend the hours or have other restaurants offering a buffet to rectify this issue. Way too crowded. - Hotel in general is tired, you can tell the upkeep is neglected on so many areas within the hotel, we were told we could book activities through the app or on the screens around the hotel. None of the screens worked properly and the app didn’t let you book either. - Some of the activity staff were incredibly rude and unhelpful. We tried to book a restaurant to use our half board, to which we were rudely told no, we need to book 1 day in advance as the restaurant was fully booked and we’d just have to go back to the buffet. We walked past this restaurant and there wasn’t a single table booked. So we asked them for a table and they said not a problem. This was at 6pm, we were there until 7:30pm. Not one other table came during this time when it was apparently ‘fully booked’ It just seemed an unnecessary lie and control complex by the staff member - not 5 star behaviour. - It seems you can smoke anywhere, I’ve never been to a 5 star hotel that allows this, normally there should be designated areas. It’s not nice for non smokers and at times felt impossible to avoid. Another thing to note if you are a couple or solo traveller, kids are everywhere. We saw so many arguments amongst kids and parents, it makes for loud and uncomfortable environment when trying to relax by the pool or beach. Not necessarily a hotel issue, but something to be aware of. I would say this hotel is more of an upper end of a 3 star experience. Certainly not even close to 5 stars, we left feeling disappointed because of this.

This hotel is absolutely not a 5-star experience. From start to finish, the stay was extremely disappointing. The staff were rude and unhelpful. The room looked nothing like the pictures – very old, poorly maintained, and full of dysfunctions. The air conditioning didn’t work and we had to call maintenance. The bathrobe was old and smelled horrible. The extra bed for the third person was basically unusable – just a thin sponge mattress on a folding metal frame, impossible to sleep on comfortably. The light switches in the room didn’t work properly when we arrived, so we had no light in the bathroom for a while. In the bathroom, water leaked from the bottom of the tub, flooding the entire bathroom after every shower. On the beach, there was even a day with a shortage of towels due to “laundry issues,” meaning another unnecessary wait for something as basic as a towel. Overall, the waiting time for everything was extremely long – service, requests, even basic needs. I honestly cannot understand how this place calls itself a 5-star hotel. It was one of the worst experiences, and I would never recommend it.
