Sep 2004, Mr K Jervis

This is a quiet relaxing location not overlooked by any other hotels. The location is set in a hillside with separate blocks of between 6 and 10 rooms. There are steps to get to the blocks or a small train to take you almost to the door if you don’t want to walk.
The rooms are a little basic but have excellent views over the bay, the air conditioning works well and is controlled in your room there is a fridge and water left in it. The room was clean.
and towels changed daily. they also provide beach towels.
Having read previous reviews I can say I never struggled to get sun beds near to the pools including the heated pool and there is a beach bar serving drinks and sandwiches all day. The small cafe near to the plaza and main pools serves freshly made pizza ( and veggie pizza) along with snacks all day.
The food varied throughout the week with several English dishes and Greek ones each evening. We never had to wait at the bar for more than a couple of minutes to be served and there was no queuing at all.
There is a large plaza outside where they show champions league football when its on or there were shows quizzes and films on each evening.
The bars close at midnight but the staff did stay over to serve those of us left .The disco opens at 11pm but you have to pay fro drinks hence it doesn’t get too busy, later on the staff and animation team also went there.
It’s very easy to criticise and expect the same standard in Greece as you would get in this country but for a quarter of the price. I would definitely go again. The views front the hotel are breath taking the beach is spotless and quiet and all non motorised water sports are free !.

Sep 2004, Mrs C Crossley

ACCOMMODATION : Initially small cramped and unclean, certainly not 5 star . We were upgraded to a superior room at a cost of 300 euros . We would of expected this standard when we first arrived .
FOOD : Often cold the menu at times appeared to have been recycled. Please be ware if you have food allergies as menu is not on display and one is unsure of the contents .Poor choice .
FACILITIES: No kettle in room to make a hot beverage. No onsite pharmacy, which could be worrying as the hotel is quite isolated. Most of the equipment in the gym did not work .
Pool bar looked like it had been closed for a while.
Swimming pool extremely cold too enjoy a dip .
SERVICE : Most of the staff were friendly but some were curt and abrupt . When we did complain we were made to feel awkward and felt we had offended them.
INFORMATION : Poor no introduction to facilities . even sent on the wrong excursion .
ANIMATION TEAM : Excellent entertainment to take your mind off the other problems !
In our opinion this hotel certainly did not deserve its five star status .

May 2004, Mr J Pedley

Was apprehensive after reading some dire reviews, but I don’t know where the reviewers stayed, it certainly was not here.
The hotel was excellent the staff very friendly, the only downside was the location which is a little isolated, the food was of excellent quality with plenty of choice to suit everyone.
The bar staff were excellent especially Nikos and Katerina who were run off their feet at times.
Plenty of sun beds without the usual rush to get one, still empty beds and parasols at 11.00 in the morning. A really good hotel and I will be back next year.
