“Good value hotel”

The hotel is situated right on the lagoon. Some nice little beach areas and a small pool. It’s pretty and the staff are lovely. Our standard room was large as was the bathroom. Good view onto the lagoon. Many rooms have balconies. Dinner was a hot and cold buffet - not always the case. It was surprisingly good. Super fresh salads, a choice of about 4 main courses and lots of pudding. €20 for the buffet including 3 bottles of wine between 4. There are nice walks from the hotel.

If you’re looking for a genuine getaway from it all venue then this is the place for you! A huge colonial style hotel/ complex in the middle of nowhere almost. English is a rare commodity here both in guest numbers and language. Be prepared to get skilled with sign language and pointing. Even staff, bar a lovely lady on reception do not speak the language. The hotel rooms are large but basic and traditional- blankets not quilts and no kettle etc.. though there is a fridge. The pool ( there are two ) is not heated so is initially cold until the sun heats it up. Very picturesque and has more than enough sun beds. The breakfast buffet is ample with a substantial continental but again don’t expect your full English - European sausage/ scrambled egg and bacon are the hot options Evening meal is well worth the €15 per head. Soup, salads, hot options and desserts to delight in. If you can do hire a car or you may find the location very limiting. The nearest beach ( pretend one at hotel ) is at Prai did Mira , a 10 minute drive away. Would we visit again? Probably not but was fine for what we needed at the time.

“Disappointed in general ”

Not sure this merits 3 stars rating but 2 seems a bit harsh also. Ok we went in August so prices are high BUT paying 154€ a night for a family room I was expecting a bit more quality. It was clean and I can’t fault that at all but it’s untouched since the 80’s when it must have been very impress... lisää

Not sure this merits 3 stars rating but 2 seems a bit harsh also. Ok we went in August so prices are high BUT paying 154€ a night for a family room I was expecting a bit more quality. It was clean and I can’t fault that at all but it’s untouched since the 80’s when it must have been very impressive, it’s “rustic” I guess. There’s 2 pools, one is very cold as it gets more shade than the other but the warmer is much busier and full of kids and stupid adults jumping off the little bridge into the water, accident waiting to happen for some poor bugger underneath. No supervision from hotel staff at all. Breakfast was forgettable and the buffet dinner for 15€ (excluding drinks) was best avoided. I’ve been to their sister hotel in area and it’s far better in terms of food. I left feel like I had been ripped off I’m afraid which leaves a sour taste.
