“Good 3 star hotel but could be improved quite easily.”

As a 3 star hotel it was fine. Location to shops and bars excellent but quiet. 15 min walk to beach. Lounge/reception and dining room modern and clean. Subterranean communal toilets clean but could do with an upgrade. Our room, although with no view was a good size, cleaned every day and the sho... Más

As a 3 star hotel it was fine. Location to shops and bars excellent but quiet. 15 min walk to beach. Lounge/reception and dining room modern and clean. Subterranean communal toilets clean but could do with an upgrade. Our room, although with no view was a good size, cleaned every day and the shower room was newly fitted and very functional. The corridors, however, were a bit spartan with no carpet or soft furnishings to deaden any noise. It wasn’t a problem, nor was the occasional aircraft noise due to the proximity of the airport. (Couldn’t hear anything at night so sleep quality was good in October ( not half term). Food was excellent at the start of the stay but the quality tailed off for the last few days. My biggest disappointment was that the only bar was the pool bar. It seemed a bit down market for after dinner drinks. Fine for sitting around in the sunshine but I’d have given at least another star if there had been an indoor bar in the evenings. Due to this we chose to go out every evening to sit somewhere nicer. Of course, this cost us extra.

“Good staff average hotel. ”

Staff are working hard to keep the guests well looked after but it felt as if this hotel was understaffed , we saw the same faces every day they looked very tired . They were all without exception professional and helpful . Hotel is a little worn, plain decor makes it feel souless. Food was ok ... Más

Staff are working hard to keep the guests well looked after but it felt as if this hotel was understaffed , we saw the same faces every day they looked very tired . They were all without exception professional and helpful . Hotel is a little worn, plain decor makes it feel souless. Food was ok . Nothing to complain about at breakfast,lunch and dinner but a small selection some days. The mid afternoon snacks on the ground floor pool were abysmal , and didn’t seem fresh . Wilted salad , chips and sandwiches with warm cheese, not good. Pleased dinner was Greek cuisine , good to taste the local dishes. Room was comfortable, daily service was good. Bathroom, shower , all acceptable. Quiet to sleep at night . There is a small steep hill for a couple of hundred metres up to the hotel so people with mobility issues need to check this out. A pleasant 15 minute walk to the beach . Plenty of shops and bars within two minutes walk of the hotel .

“It’s Greece not Dubai”

I’d give this as a 3.5 if available. I had a great time meeting lots of people which made my holiday in to a 5. I found the pools to be good and cleaned on a daily basis, yes they did have a tide mark around the edge but this wasn’t green slime as some people have made out. The sun loungers were... Más

I’d give this as a 3.5 if available. I had a great time meeting lots of people which made my holiday in to a 5. I found the pools to be good and cleaned on a daily basis, yes they did have a tide mark around the edge but this wasn’t green slime as some people have made out. The sun loungers were good and comfortable albeit a bit used but again I did not see any ripped ones as people have stated. The food was in general what you get at a normal all inclusive. I had no problems at breakfast but evening was a bit hit and miss with what they put out, there didn’t seem to be any structure. I did eat out three times, but that was my choice as I wanted some Greek food which you wouldn’t get in the hotel and not because of the standard in the hotel. The bedroom was adequate and the bed comfy. The only real gripe I have is the bathroom. Very little water coming out of the shower, sometimes none, little black flies hanging out in there and the occasional smell of sewers. But you know what, I’m in Greece and you have to take what comes with it.

This is definitely a 3 star hotel and the food reflected this. On the positive side the staff were helpful and friendly and were hard working. The whole part of the hotel was cleaned and tidy, the pools were kept very well and dealt with every morning. We requested quiet and adjoining rooms and these we got.Housekeeping was done well in a quiet and efficient way. We have no adverse comments unlike some previous reviews.
