Did quite abit of research into where to go & where to stay for our holiday-likely our last as a family as with two older teenagers they won’t want to holiday with their boring parents anymore!
Decided on the Matina & happy to say we made a really good choice.
Accommodation - as others have said, it’s basic (but what more do you need? Air con free of charge as part of jet2 package & good Wi-Fi)
Big rooms, nice & clean . Maid service excellent.
One of our rooms was 520 - can’t recommend it enough, didn’t have a balcony-it’s a terrace which was massive & a sea view as well.
Pool areas-really enjoyed sitting by the pool, plenty of sun loungers & a nice peaceful vibe.
Food - stayed half board (never done this before but it seemed good value & avoided the arguments on where to eat) breakfast was pretty good but the biggest plus is you get to eat in the Meltemi restaurant on a night - fantastic food & service.
Had abit of lunch a couple of days in the pool bar & this was good also & reasonably priced.
Staff - everyone really friendly & nothing was too much trouble 10 out of 10.
Location - 2 min walk to the beach, 6 min walk upto the town if you wanted to (plenty of bar’s & restaurants within a couple of mins walk if you didn’t want to walk into town). Fantastic - save paying beach sun lounger prices, we walked from the pool with just a towel & went swimming in the sea, then came back to the pool.
Overall-we had a great holiday & glad we chose the Matina. Do your research before hand to make sure it’s what your are looking for & if it is, you won’t be disappointed.
