Hotel Bakos
Pool, playground and a two-minute walk to the sea
About this hotel
The rooms face inward here, at the garden or the pool rather than the gulf, and that turns out to be the point: this is a hotel built around its own courtyard rather than the view. The seasonal outdoor pool and the children's playground sit together, the sun terrace catches afternoon light, and the outdoor seating area keeps families in one place for long stretches of the day. Family rooms come with air conditioning, private bathrooms and balconies, and free parking removes the usual Loutraki headache of finding a space near the seafront in August. Loutraki Beach is a two-minute walk, Loutraki Thermal Spa about 1.1 kilometres, and Athens airport 109 kilometres east.
- Seasonal outdoor swimming pool
- Children's playground
- Family rooms with balconies
- Free parking on site
Our take
A straightforward family choice with a 9.4 score, though only six reviews stand behind it so far. The playground and pool combination is rare at this level in Loutraki, and free parking is worth real money here in high season. Couples looking for a sea-facing balcony or an adults-only atmosphere will be happier at one of the seafront addresses, since nothing at Bakos looks at the water.
- ✓Take the pool-view rooms over the garden ones, as they keep an eye on children in the water from the balcony.
- ✓Use the free parking and drive to the Corinth Canal in the morning before the coach parties arrive.
- ✓Walk the two minutes to Loutraki Beach for a swim before breakfast, when the pebbles are still cool.
Why we love it
- A children's playground beside the outdoor pool
- Free parking two minutes from Loutraki Beach
- Family rooms with garden or pool balconies
- A sun terrace that holds the afternoon light
Why guests love itI would recommend Hotel Bakos to families with young children who want a pool and a playground near the sea. The three-star hotel has family rooms with air conditioning and private bathrooms, looking over the garden or the pool. A seasonal outdoor pool, a sun terrace, a lounge, outdoor seating and a children's playground are on site, and parking is free. Loutraki Beach is a two-minute walk away. A rating of 9.4 from 6 reviews is strong, but the record is short.
