Gonatas Hotel

My Mum and I wanted a chilled out holiday in the sun and Gontas hotel was perfect. The hotel was almost full but it was still incredibly quiet, it was laid back but the staff were ready to help whenever you needed them. - Rooms had a big fridge and a mini freezer compartment - Amazing air con in all rooms - A little terraced area in front of each room to chill out on - Large pool and loungers with plenty of trees - Breakfast included: Mum and I are coeliac so could only have the gluten free options. We brought our own granola from home and had it with the lovely Greek yoghurt, honey and fruit provided by the hotel. There were also omlettes, fried egg, bacon and cheese. A small pebbled beach is literally across the road from the hotel. On our last morning we got up early to have a sunrise swim and saw dolphins jumping in the distance! 5 minute walk to the small village of Agia Efirmia which has bars, restaurants, shops and places you can hire boats from etc. For gluten free restaurant choices I would recommend Sea Rock WS and The Paradise Restaurant, they were both very knowledgeable and more than willing to adapt meals to cater for us! Would recommend downloading the coeliac UK Greek translation sheet from the C UK website (saves you having to try and learn it!) *** bring your own beach towels *** no water provided at breakfast so make sure to get some from the supermarkets in town and keep it in your fridge ** bring snorkels! Lots of fish to see :)
