Peaceful and gorgeous nature at its best. This was was my first time in Greece and this property will have me coming back for years. The property and beach are gorgeous. Everything is well maintained. The bubgalow room was spacious for two people. We didnt do the all inclusive but ate on the property a few times. Breakfast wasnt good but the Taverna had good and reasonably priced options. Kostas at the front desk was Amazing. He helped arrange rides, offered great suggestions and was super accommodating. I felt he wanted us to have a good trip. Loved the location . Walkable area with great food options and shops, super close to town and there is a bus stop right out front. You could stay on the property and have a great vacation or go out and explore. I can't wait to come back!

Die Anlage ist sehr gepflegt und jeder findet einen Platz für seine Erholung. Wenig deutsche Gäste, was aber nicht störend ist. Die Bäder könnten teilweise renoviert werden. Insgesamt ein schönes Hotel mit vielen Freizeitangeboten!

Sehr nettes und hilfsbereites Personal. Am Anfang war es wirklich erholsam aber je mehr Urlauber kamen desto schlimmer würde es. Das Personal würde nachlässig und verlor den Überblick. Das Frühstück glich am Ende nur noch einem Spiessrufhenlaufen und war Stress pur. Das erst 2 Drittel der Zeit waren Liegen kein Problem am Strand aber am Ende ein echtes Chaos. Vor allem kamen dann Urlauber die morgens vor dem Frühstück ihre Liegen reservierten und dann erst gegen Abend kamen oder noch besser waren die (keine Ausnahme) wo die ganze Familie kam und jedes Familienmitglied belegte einen Schirm mit 2 Liegen. Hier wäre das Hotel gefragt gewesen. Hier werde ich sicher nicht mehr hin gehen. Da braucht man kein Genie zu sein um sich auszurechnen das nicht genug Platz war. Außerdem fand ich extrem störend das von Leuten mit Kindern die Erwachsenenbereichen ignoriert wurden. Nichts gegen Kinder aber ich will nicht permanent Kindergeschrei wenn ich extra in die ausgewiesene Adults only Atea gehe. Unverschämt sind die Preise der Strandbar , des eigenen Supermarktes, der Boutique und der Lokale im Hotel. Da werden ja die Betreiber vom Oktoberfest noch neidisch. Zimmer sauber aber sehr renovierungsbedürftig. Auf jeden Fall keine 5 Sterne. Ich ziehe für mich das Fazit einmal und nie wieder.

Hôtel très propre. La chambre avec vue sur mer sublime. Petit déjeuner, continental donc du choix. Par contre, chambre prévue jusqu'à 11h00 et à 10h20 appel téléphonique pour nous faire comprendre qu'il fallait partir... Pas cool pour un hôtel de cette classe. En sus, un des restaurants "buffet" nous retire les couverts et la boisson alors que nous n'avions pas terminé......Un peu décevant vu le coût du menu !
