Elite City Resort is the practical family base right on Kalamata's seafront, where the long beach, the promenade cafes, the harbour and the old town are all walkable, no hire car needed to keep everyone fed and entertained. Separate adult and children's pools, a playground and direct beach access cover the little ones, while being in town means gelato runs, playgrounds and easy dinners are steps away. It is not a big kids-club resort, it is a comfortable, convenient city-beach hotel that suits families who like to explore.
Our verdict
A well-priced, walk-everywhere city-beach base for families who want to explore Kalamata and Messinia rather than stay parked inside a resort all week.
The rooms
Spacious rooms and family suites overlooking the Messinian Bay, with connecting options that sleep four and cots on request. It reads as a comfortable city beach hotel rather than a sprawling resort, so families are close together and the seafront promenade is right outside the door.

Parents also ask
Is there a kids club?
No, this is a city beach hotel rather than a club resort. It has a children's pool and a playground, but for a full kids' programme look at Grecotel Filoxenia or the Costa Navarino resorts.
Do we need a car?
Not for the stay itself, as the beach, promenade and old town are all walkable. A hire car helps for day trips to Voidokilia, Costa Navarino and Ancient Messene.
Is it good with a baby?
It works well thanks to the central, walkable setting and cots on request, though it lacks the dedicated baby services of the bigger resorts, so bring your own kit.
