“The best massage ”

I don't usually make reviews but this time I have to! I visited the hot zone of the spa and was fantastic. The food was not so bad but I would like to have more options.

I don't usually make reviews but this time I have to! I visited the hot zone of the spa and was fantastic. The food was not so bad but I would like to have more options. The outside pool had the best temperature for this weather, I had a nice drink. I had so many massages in my life but this was one of my best, she has nice skills for the body treatments and the face too. Thank you Maria.

“Family holiday”

This hotel is rated 5* I believe this is down to the hotels own rating and gets based on facilities and things rather than being awarded from an independent group.

This hotel is rated 5* I believe this is down to the hotels own rating and gets based on facilities and things rather than being awarded from an independent group. The hotel is about an hour and half from the airport we had a group transfer booked but knowing what we do now I’d maybe rent a car for a week, this hotel is basically in the middle of nowhere! On arrival we got checked in and given a cold drink which was lovely and they helped us to the room with our bags (we paid city tax but we’re expecting this but think that is standard across Greece) the room was spacious and clean with free toiletries, paper slippers, robes and beach towels. There was a sandwich in the room as it was about 11pm this was lovely with a free bottle of water. There was an expensive mini bar in the room which was also small so no room to keep your own drinks in or any snacks if you needed to, there was a kettle and a coffee machine which stated if you needed a refill this was 10euros so we didn’t use this. Really nice spacious balcony with chair and tables, air con in the room and was cleaned each day with fresh towels etc. one fault with the room was that the drains smelt bad this was mentioned to reception who just said well cleaners come everyday! We played tennis twice (20euros per hour) there was also badminton and crazy golf and ping pong all at extra changes but we didn’t do these, there is a program to do them with the animation team! Pool was slightly heated so the kids enjoyed this but pool area very dirty! The food was buffet style restaurant and we were half board the food was ok nothing special or out of the ordinary we managed to find something each night and they did a kids corner of chips pizza fish fingers etc you are not allowed to take drinks in with your evening meal and they drinks are very expensive so just factor that in I went to the gym once it was ok machines old and rusty but weights were ok There’s a game centre with air hockey, pool and bowling(5euros per 15 mins) Overall not luxury 5 star and lots of extra costs but amazing staff

“Lots of negatives ”

The coach ride took nearly 2 hours with about 6 drop offs. On arriving at the hotel we were greeted with a drink. All the staff were extremely pleasant and helpful. On our way to the room we went through very pretty gardens which had a lovely little chapel amongst other things. Our room had a lovely view with a comfy bed and pillows. Very clean with a kettle and coffee machine. We had a grand suite which had 2 bathrooms and one large balcony that ran the full length of the rooms. Unfortunately we could hear people's footsteps above our room which were very loud and our room had a very noisy fridge. Once we were out of the room it was a relaxing holiday with a nice but stony beach just across the road or through a tunnel. Lots of fish in the sea. We enjoyed a Greek cookery class and lots of lovely food. Just missed having gravy available though. We used the small games room and joined in the organised games during the day which were on 3 times a week for 45 minutes only. We only had the use of one pool which was explained to us by someone staying in the hotel. The staff never told us this. One other pool was available but we couldn't use the sunbeds in that one. The sister hotel was shut and our hotel advertised a cinema which we were told had been shut over 2 years ago. People DID save beds and their towels were not removed and the big negative for me was being constantly bombarded with flies round the pool area. There was just no let-up. Nice hotel but not somewhere i would return to.

“Great hotel, shame about the paper-thin walls”

This is a lovely hotel, the room seems recently renovated, the buffet is fantastic, the pool is heated, the whole place is great. HOWEVER. the walls are like paper, you can literally hear next door breathing and when he decides to make a phone call at 4am, we heard every word! So, great hotel, ... lisää

HOWEVER. the walls are like paper, you can literally hear next door breathing and when he decides to make a phone call at 4am, we heard every word! So, great hotel, shame about the walls and don't go here unless you can sleep through whatever your neighbour gets up to!
