Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. While the rooms were outdated and in need of renovation, they were spacious with a nice bed and a lovely bathroom. Although the cleanliness was satisfactory, the lack of proper mopping and vacuuming was noticeable in the older building. The sea view from our room, however, was breathtaking.
Our room was comfortable with high standards in cleaning service. The hotel location was excellent, with an unusual and magical setting for a good rest. The dining experience was okay but not outstanding. The service provided was hospitable overall.
The hotel has a great location close to a wonderful beach, but it is quite isolated and may require a car. The rooms are clean and comfortable, with a need for modernization in terms of amenities. The service is friendly and embodies the Greek way of hospitality, although under pressure at times. The dining experience offers a variety of delicious options, but some meals may arrive cold. The facilities are adequate, and the picturesque setting is beyond stunning.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were very old and not as advertised, but the service was friendly and helpful. The location was stunning, although a bit out of the way with limited access to the water. The dining options were average, and the facilities were satisfactory.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The need for renovation and poor wifi and phone signal were major drawbacks. The service, on the other hand, was exceptional with a true Greek hospitality experience despite being understaffed. The location, although providing rest in a rocky cove and close to a lovely village, lacked easy access to the water and beach facilities. The dining experience had its flaws with buffet mess and cold food but offered varied options. Ultimately, the hotel had its ups and downs in terms of facilities and value for money.
