Niriides Mani Beachfront Residences

Great location, charming cottage and very private overlooking the Med and with a great beach with zero crowds. Very helpful staff. We loved everything about our stay.

Nothing, it was absolutely fantastic

There are no words to describe how nice and serene the location is. Right at the beach, away from cars and streets, not overcrowded, the perfect place to relax. The bungalows have a traditional and rustic aesthetic but with all modern amenities. There is no onsite restaurant and breakfast is served directly to your private terrace.

The bed was a bit too firm for me and not very comfortable.

What I Liked Excellent location with direct access to the beach with sunbeds Very friendly and welcoming staff, always smiling and willing to help. Breakfast served in the room with different food options, adding convenience and privacy. Early check-in, which was very convenient. Free parking, making the stay easier and more practical. Gift of bottle of wine and breakfast surprises Smart TV and reliable Wi-Fi Good location from Gytheio center

What I Did Not Like Strong sewage smell at times, from cesspool which negatively affected the overall comfort of the stay..We had also some noise from technical work to fix the issues, including some work carried out late at night. Bees occasionally became a problem during breakfast, approaching the food and making it difficult to enjoy breakfast comfortably. Noisy air conditioning and water heater, possibly indicating a technical issue. Room kitchen lacked sufficient power for proper cooking. Cleaning could have been more thorough in some corners and less visible areas. The toilet cistern had issues during the stay, and it was fixed quickly by the staff. Given the price, I expected a more complete and polished overall experience.

We had a OK stay at Niirides! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our visit, which made us feel really welcome. One of the highlights was that the property has its own beach — every day we had two sunbeds and an umbrella reserved just for us, which made our beach time super relaxing. Another thing we really appreciated was how close it is to Gytheio. It was easy to order food and coffee directly to our room, which added to the comfort and convenience. And finally, the breakfast was a lovely touch — every morning it was served right on our porch, allowing us to enjoy a peaceful start to the day with a great view.

While we enjoyed some aspects of our stay at Niirides, there were several things that didn’t quite meet our expectations. First of all, we felt that it was quite expensive for what it offers. The resort is old, and the room we stayed in clearly needs renovation — both in terms of comfort and aesthetics. For the price, we expected a higher level of daily cleanliness and attention to detail, which unfortunately wasn’t always there. The breakfast served on our porch was a nice touch, but it could be significantly improved with more variety — fresh juice and better-quality pastries, for example, would really elevate the experience. One major issue for us was the toilet seat. It was the most uncomfortable one we’ve ever used, and it’s simply not suitable for someone who isn’t physically fit — a serious drawback in terms of accessibility and comfort. Lastly, we have to mention that the photos on Booking.com don’t fully reflect reality. What you see isn’t exactly what you get — the space and condition of the room, in particular, were not as shown in the pictures. With some updates and more honest presentation, this place could be much better — but as it stands, we felt it didn’t offer good value for the price.
