We just wanted a holiday of sunshine and relaxing. Then, after reading some reviews, well, we got a little concerned! Bit of advice, go on the hotel website and see what hotel is actually offering etc. Reception staff welcoming and explained a few things to start. You can book day trips, cars at reception and it has a mini market. The hotel is built up on a hill and there are steps. So a bit of a hike, but we used little side road after when we got our bearings and settled in. The way it's planned, it's like being in a little mountain village. Higher up you go the more quiet and amazing the views. Lovely gardens, with lemon trees, different flowers and fresh herbs like mint and oregano growing even. Cleaning ladies came everyday(except on Sundays). Everywhere kept clean. Food choice is very good for 3☆. Breakfasts are great. Lunch and dinner buffets have something for everyone. Bar is next to pool and in evenings, a great spot to watch sun set and drink a few cocktails! Everyone at hotel was helpful and friendly even though very busy sometimes. We were pleasantly surprised and had a lovely holiday just as we wanted.

Amazing views, staff, food, beach and great public bus service too anywhere you need to go, can also buy all local tickets bus tickets at the hotel at reception which is good as Don't need cash , which is advisable with tge buses + advice on any other transport, reception are more than happy to help with all :) Don't go if you can't do steps as 'Scaleta' means, small steps, and trust me, there are many. We felt like we had to stop several times initially too get to our room, but, by the end of our holiday, no problem, made us fit again :) And, we were more than lucky, we had amazing views + only one of two rooms that had patios, massive, ours, quite private and some shade, even a little, most of the day. Please put two sunbeds on patio, Scaleta, needed x The rooms, basic but the most important thing the hotel needs too do initially, is to get comfy pillows! We improvised and made the blankets in the cupboard into pillow shapes, trust me, better than the pillows. All else, the place is marvelous, a little bit if heaven! My best memory, at sun down, not too mention the sunsets, ouzo, thousands of swallows desended, apparently called a 'glup' or 'flight' There's a dry river now on the boundary, moist am sure deep down and I think they devour the mosquitoes, thank you nature ;) sight to be seen, bit akin too, Alfred Hitchcocks, Birds, amazing! Peach and quite, away from all, mo kids allowed, chollax :D

A clean. comfortable, friendly hotel. Although it was a little tired, there was nothing that would upset a holiday. Really lovely, friendly, helpful staff, and excellent food. Not a huge selection but enough choice to keep us both happy with only 1 meal that we found uninspiring in the whole of the week there. The room was good enough (although the bed had a bit of a dip in the middle) and we had a lovley view of the sea from our terrace. The only thing I would point out to the owners (which I mentioned to the lovely Fiona) was that for a hotel with no evening entertainment and is well away from the town centre that you need somehing to do, we would really have appreciated a choice of English-language TV channels - there was only the BBC global news which was depressing, so we didn't have much to do in the evenings. Other than that - great staff, excellent food, clean and comfy hotel - we'd definitely stay there again! Thanks to all the staff for all their efforts :)
