We stayed the last night of our holiday at the GMP Bouka before catching our plane from Kalamata the next morning. It was a very good place to stop - 15 minutes maximum from the airport. We had a spacious, extremely comfortable room with balcony overlooking the pool and beach. Bed very comfortable - spacious room. We enjoyed last swims both in the pool and the sea. Had a great meal at the restaurant, good breakfast and staff very friendly and charming.

Place is very nice and equipment great the kids there have a fantastic time and is so well organised
Food is really good but a little crazy when served and the pool is mayhem with so many kids there. But for a family holiday for active kids it's spot on
The hotel was very satisfying to our needs. It has a nice buffet for breakfast, coffee and tea serving at all times in the lounge for the guests of the hotel for free, a nice shallow swimming pool with a lifeguard preventing too much noise and jumps, reasonable prices for whatever you order by the pool, to drink or to eat, and a nice buffet for dinner, which costs 16€/adult and 6€/child over 6 years old. The sea is right in front of the hotel, without having to cross a road. The staff was very polite. As a disadvantage i would have to say that everyone can swim in the pool, even if they are not guests, which ends up having a very crowded and dirty pool at some point and also that the internet doesn’t work very well in the areas of the hotel apart from the lounge.. Overall a nice choice for families, 15-20 min drive from Kalamata if you want to do something more crowded.
We booked this hotel as it had INDOOR and OUTDOOR pool plus by the beach.
When we got there we got told different stories by the staff! The outdoor pool was out of order due to being repaired as it had a problem. One of the staff said 10 days ago and the other one said 2 days ago! At least the staff should tell the same story! I then asked about the INDOOR pool to be told they DIDNT have one although it is on their own web site!!!! The room over looked the big bins so when you sat on the balcony you also got the smell! We had a kettle in the only but ONLY TEA NO COFFEE! When I asked about that they said they ONLY put TEA. Never have I stayed in a hotel which had only tea! We went for a walk down to the beach where they had beach chairs which were in bad condition and broke. Th beach was very dirty as well. Walking round the grounds we saw the fountain which was by the restaurant that looked like it never worked due to the colour of it. See in photo. The restaurant looked as dirty and not even working! At night after midnight we were woken up by a staff car revving up for 20 minutes then they drove away only by coming back later to do the same thing!
I just wished we had booked the hotel next door that looked clean and working plus much cheaper! We stayed in this hotel in May when all the other hotels were in full swing of summer!
This hotel is perfect if you just want an easy relaxing stay right on the beach. It was a perfect spot to rest right after arriving in Greece and before we continued our travels. It is close to Kalamata airport and an easy drive from Athens. The beach is long and sandy, so you can take walks. There is also a place down the beach that has lots of paddleboard, sailboats etc in case you need more activity. Hotel food was good as was the food in the next door taverna. The town of messini is pretty basic, so if you need more food variety, you'd have to drive to Kalamata. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful and hotel was clean. We had a seaview room, decor a bit dated, but nice private balcony. There were lots of loud kids and loud groups at the pool and beach, but if you don't mind walking with your towel, there's plenty of quiet beach away from the hotel lounge chairs.
We stopped for our last night before returning to the U.K. The hotel was clean and tidy and room was pleasant. Great balcony with sea view. Staff were all eager to please and gave great service from reception to poolside to breakfast. Pool was lovely. Breakfast was excellent. Would return maybe for longer.
