The hotel offers basic but clean rooms, with very friendly staff. The nice-sized rooms include a large bathroom with a hairdryer, located on the top floor of the hotel. The potential downfall is its location, about a 15-minute walk from the beach, bars, restaurants, and supermarkets.

The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms with friendly staff. However, the rooms could use an upgrade as some furniture is dated. The location is slightly secluded but provides access to nearby restaurants. The dining experience is okay but slightly repetitive. Overall, a decent choice for a stay.

The hotel offers fine, spacious rooms with fridges, ideal for a family of three, overlooking the Greek gardens. The service is outstanding, thanks to Niko, Giorgo, Dimitry, and the dedicated staff. The location is slightly secluded but within reach of dining options. The dining experience could improve, but the wood-fired pizzas are a hit. Overall, the facilities are top-notch for a relaxing vacation.

I had a genuine holiday experience at the hotel, enjoying good value all-inclusive and having fun. The rooms could do with updating but were clean. I did not have many alternatives and would return next year with more people.

The hotel had a mix of positive and negative aspects. The rooms were divided by a curtain, and our kitchen had dust and rubbish under the beds, although the air conditioning worked well. The service was commendable, with Nikos and Giorgos at the bar being especially friendly. The location was beautiful, with plenty of sunbeds and a lush surrounding, but some amenities were lacking. The dining experience offered a decent selection but was a bit repetitive. Overall, it was a near-perfect holiday getaway with room for improvement.
