I found the hotel to be a mixed experience. While the rooms in the 'old block' were serviced more frequently than expected, they didn't quite match the price we paid. The service was polite and helpful, though a bit distant. The location was great with easy access to attractions and the beach, but the dining options were limited. The facilities were decent, offering a relaxing stay overall.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and very nice, located in the 'old block'. The only downside was the poor catering conditions. The service, especially from the manager Stavros, was very helpful. The location was good, with easy access to a bus service and relaxing evenings. The dining experience was good, although there were large lines for food. The facilities were decent with nicely tended gardens and 2 pools to choose from.

My stay at the hotel was lovely. The rooms were clean and very nice, aside from some initial problems that were quickly resolved to make them cozy. The service, especially from the manager Stavros, was top-notch and very friendly, although there was a slight issue with the privacy of room entry. The location was convenient with an easy bus service nearby and right on the beach for relaxing evenings. The dining experience, although not extensive, still offered good variety. Overall, a pleasant stay with some minor drawbacks but great value for money.
