Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was fantastic, right by the beautiful beach and perfect for our needs, but the rooms were a bit of a letdown, especially for taller guests. The service, however, was exceptional with a friendly and dedicated staff. The dining experience was average, and the facilities overall were satisfactory.
The hotel is located right above the beach with a very nice and friendly atmosphere. The rooms are decently furnished, nothing fancy but still everything that we needed. They looked fine with a garden view, newly decorated, and nice and clean.
Staying at the hotel felt like a holiday in prison - small, dirty rooms with old facilities didn't provide much comfort, but the staff did their best to help. The location offered natural beauty but was far from nearby towns, and the dining options were very limited.
The hotel provides a partial sea view room, and the rooms are a bit close to each other. The location offers a beautiful beach just underneath the hotel, and there is a private parking area. The dining experience may be limited but acceptable, and the service staff, especially Dimitrios, is very friendly and accommodating.
Even though the rooms were a bit stuffy and dated, the hotel was spacious with some cool facade refreshments. The service was mixed, with the exception of one accommodating staff member, and the location offered stunning views but had some minor drawbacks. The dining experience was satisfactory, albeit with limited options.
