Reviews and Ratings
Upon arriving after a quick 10-minute transfer from the airport, I received a warm welcome from the owner, who pleasantly surprised me with an upgrade to one of the new rooms. The daily cleaning routine maintained the room's freshness, and the highlight was the spacious balcony adorned with beautiful pink bougainvillea, although all new rooms were supposedly fully booked. However, while the experience was overall delightful, there were limited breakfast options that could use more variety.
I found the hotel to have very basic rooms with noisy air conditioning and an extremely uncomfortable bed, making it hard to relax. However, the family room provided enough space for us all. The suite exceeded my expectations, offering a high standard of accommodation.
The hotel exceeded my expectations with its light, spacious, and very clean rooms, although not as breathtaking as the online images portrayed. The service was exceptional, with the staff always being friendly and helpful. The brilliant location near the beach and various dining options made my stay very convenient and enjoyable. The dining experience offered a wide array of delicious Greek dishes, although some more variety would have been appreciated.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms seemed a bit misleading as they were basic, and there were some issues with the staff's attitude. On the bright side, the location was great, and the pool area was lovely.
