For premium family comfort without the Costa Navarino price tag, Grecotel Filoxenia is the smart Messinia pick: 300 metres of Kalamata beachfront, three infinity pools including a dedicated children's pool, and olive gardens running down to the sea under Mount Taygetus. The Grecoland kids club looks after four to twelves, the excellent GrecoBaby service means you barely need to pack for an infant, and complimentary kids' dining keeps mealtimes cheap and stress-free. It is polished, well run and genuinely built around families.
Our verdict
The value champion of Messinia for young families: outstanding baby kit, a proper kids club, free children's dining and a beachfront base, all for a good deal less than the big-name Navarino resorts.
The rooms
Renovated rooms and family suites among olive gardens, many with balconies over the pools or sea. Family rooms and connecting options sleep four, children up to 12 stay free in select room types, and the GrecoBaby service supplies cots, sterilisers, monitors and more so you can pack light with an infant.

Parents also ask
How is this different from Costa Navarino?
It is more of a classic beachfront family resort at a friendlier price, about 45 minutes east in Kalamata. You lose the huge Aqua Park but gain great value, a superb baby service and free kids' dining.
Is the beach sandy?
Kalamata's long beach is a mix of sand and small pebbles rather than soft dune sand, so water shoes are handy for little feet. The pools pick up the slack for the youngest paddlers.
Do children really stay and eat free?
Children up to 12 stay free in select room types and the resort includes complimentary kids' dining, which makes a real difference to a family budget.
