VIP Lounge Resort - Apartments

Kalamata

The rooms are very clean and equipped with anything a family would need for a comfortable stay (refrigerator, washing machine for clothes, washing machine for dishes, ironing board etc), the staff (especially Rachel!) are very polite and willing to help you with anything you need, the rooms have a lot of space and the place is very quiet when you go to bed and want to have a good night's sleep (very important!).
You will not find a big variety when you go for breakfast, but anything you eat is of good quality.
I went there a few days ago, stayed in a 50 square meters room and paid 125 euros per night, which is not too much in my opinion... You will find other hotels in the area but if you want something similar, you will certainly pay more and nobody will know your name when you go for breakfast every morning!....
Personally I would go back anytime!
And Rachel, thank you for your valuable help, it was really appreciated!

Good hotel!

We stayed in Nefeli suite for 2 weeks, travelling with a baby, it was just the perfect holiday. The villa was beautiful, spacious and clean, the residence is nice, full of flowers, there is a swimming pool too. The beach just outside the hotel is clean and quite. Moreover, the owners were friendly, polite, and helped us with everything we needed, from recommending restaurants to sightseeing and activities with children. Breakfast is nice. the seaview from the villa is unbeatable, and the price very fair, definetly recommended!

Simply perfect!

The apartment is cosy. A real apartment with living room, dining room, kitchen, sdb and a separate room. Unfortunately, when it came to 8:30 pm, the boss's children and other residents rushed around the hotel, making the walls ring, and with the screams that last until late, asked to sleep. We have sites in the direction if it was possible to stop this bustle. Finally, yes, but we had the grimace soup all our stay. So we tested the swimming pool because the sea was cold and the beaches from the street corner were too cold to turn anything into a glimpse; it's still too early before it came to the sea.... and with the screams that last until late, asked to sleep. We have sites in the direction if it was possible to stop this bustle.

Nice apartment but limited services

The villas are lovely, we stayed in Aphrodite villa.  it has a roof terrace and a jacuzzi (we didn't use the jacuzzi however so can't commend on it).  The breakfast area is sufficiently stocked and the lady preparing the breakfast is always very polite and it was always pleasant to talk to her in the mornings.  She worked tirelessly to always ensure we had enough food to eat.  Be aware that breakfast is to be eaten in the breakfast area only and not to be taken back to the room as another guest was told - this is fair enough as people will get greedy and pinch food to take for later on otherwise and leave nothing for anyone else! 
We went in May so the pool was too cold to bathe in but the sun loungers were sufficient and it was a nice little sun trap.  The villas could do with a slightly larger sign or better directions (as in turn left once you go past Mylos restaurant on the left) because we shot right past it and had to call the owner.
The owner was generally polite and helpful and wanted to make sure we had everything that we needed - when we first arrived we were bowled over at how polite he was, however this turned a little sour and on one occasion I found him to be quite rude because we took a chair out onto our veranda and it got dusty - I wouldn't mind but he spoke to my father about it rather than us because my father speaks Greek and I found that to be very rude indeed because my father was staying in a different villa and it was not his concern in the slightest. Equally there weren't any instructions to say we couldn't take a chair outside to sit on as the existing chair that was outside was already broken.  I am quite certain that he would have not spoken to us like that if we were there without my dad and it actually spoilt it for us because we felt very uncomfortable afterwards in case if we messed something up as we are always very careful when we go abroad and if we accidentally break a glass or something we always tell the proprietor.  For the rest of the trip he was polite again but I think that it did mar our enjoyment which is a shame as every other aspect was fine.
The villa itself is on a small complex and is across the road from the beach - I would heartily recommend a car though as Mikri Matinea is a small village and there is not much there - if you were there for a week without a car you would be in trouble unless your idea of a holiday is literally to go from villa to beach and back again.    However it is a 10-15 minute drive from the centre of Kalamata and a 20-25 minute drive to the airport which makes its location ideal for checking out the Mani penninsular.
It is certainly a nice go between and a small hybrid villa complex - I expected it to be like a hotel and was very pleasantly surprised to find us staying in a villa.  It is reasonably priced and we were lucky to get a deal in the May half term although the prices go up in peak season.  I would recommend to others to stay there but just be very careful of the property as I would hate for someone else to get had a go at.

Lovely accommodation

We stayed in these self catering apartments for 6 days at the end of May 2014. The apartment was spacious and airy. The beds were fairly hard but we like them that way. I booked a 3 bedroom apartment but George upgraded us to the largest, Posiedon, but requested that we didn't use the 3rd bedroom which I had really wanted so our kids didn't have to share. Poseidon does have a huge patio with sea views which was lovely, and the apartment I had booked only had a small one so I didn't protest.
The only reason I am not giving 5 stars is that I got an incredulous look when I requested a chopping board (apparently nobody had asked for one before,) There was no salad bowl, the cooker fan made a ghastly screeching noise as something was rubbing, but we were advised to continue to use it anyway, and the washing machine died mid cycle. Whilst I appreciate these things happen, there was no offer of an alternative washing machine to finish my washing.
Breakfasts were lovely, and the kids view was that the complex was amazing (but they are used to camping in the UK!) They enjoyed the spa bath. The pool was slightly colder than the sea (the last week of May) 
Beware that if you have a cloudy day in summer you will lack hot water which is solar heated. so make sure you ask where the immersion heater switch is.

beautiful spacious apartments

We stayed at the biggest villa Poseidon with kids and grandparents next door.
Georgios runs the family business and was genuinely interesetd in makeing our stay as comfortable as possible. They are also helpfull with renting car at a good price etc. The pool was fantastic for the kids. There are not that many rooms and villas so there is a chanse you have the pool to your self. Fantastic terrace with sea view in Poseidon.

We booked the villa directly from Georgios on his facebook site.
Im sure you get a good deal booking the same way.
