Delicious Greek Cuisine

During my stay, I was continually impressed by the high quality and variety of the meals offered. The Greek cuisine was both tasty and authentic, with local dishes and delicious sweets that my children absolutely loved. The selection of fresh local vegetables and fruits was particularly noteworthy, adding to the overall dining experience.

Perfect for Kids

As a family with children, we found the small kids' room to be a good addition. It provided enough toys to keep the little ones entertained after dinner. The overall atmosphere was relaxed and family-friendly, making it easy for us to unwind while our kids played safely.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is stunning with crystal-clear waters and beautiful beach views, plus the staff was friendly and hardworking, especially around the pool area. However, the initial room we were given was not ideal, lacking basic amenities and comfort. Dining options were also not up to par, and the Wi-Fi was an extra cost, which felt a bit off for the price paid.

The room we were first assigned was not ready and had two twin beds pushed together with a tiny bathroom that didn’t even have a shower, just a shower head. After that, we enjoyed a room with lovely beach and pool views.

The hotel is located in a lovely spot close to the beach, offering beautiful views and a clean environment. However, I had some concerns with service, as it was lacking and my room was positioned next to a service door, which disrupted the peace. The amenities like the pool were great, but the dining options weren't the best. Overall, it's decent for the price, but some improvements are definitely needed.

The hotel has a beautiful location, just a short walk down to the beach, and the pools are really well-kept with friendly staff. However, I wasn’t thrilled with the room arrangement as it felt cramped. The dining experience left a lot to be desired, with limited breakfast options, though the chef did a good job with the eggs and pancakes. Overall, it was decent value for money, but I expected a bit more comfort.
