Reviews and Ratings
Staying at the hotel was like a mix of highs and lows. The location was vibrant with lots of shops and eateries, but the lack of sufficient loungers was a downside. The service was exceptional, especially with Mario going above and beyond. The dining experience with Sofia was a treat, yet breakfast after a week felt repetitive.
The hotel is situated in a lovely small cove with rock caves to explore, featuring exotic gardens, and a great pool area and bar. The rooms, although spacious and clean, are accompanied by many steps, so it's advisable to request an apartment closer to the pool if mobility is an issue. The service, particularly from staff members like Dimitris, Apostolis, Sofia, and the attentive cleaning staff, is amazing but would benefit from apartment upgrades. There are numerous dining options and charming little tavern restaurants in the area, making it a perfect location for food enthusiasts.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were cleaned daily, but there were some issues with the service. The location was convenient with restaurants nearby, but the dining experience could be improved.
The hotel offers a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms are in need of renovations but have a convenient location right by the pool. The service is outstanding although issues with sunbed reservations were noted. The setting is ideal for sunbathing and exploring the village, but the morning rush for pool towels may be frustrating. The dining experience is average with room for improvement in variety. Overall, a stay with highs and lows.
