    Rooms a bit dated with old furniture. It was empty in early may. Only a few elderly couples. No children's playground as pictured. Pool too cold in May to use. You can hear everything from pool area from your room.

    Decent breakfast. Nice facilities. Decent location. Good value.

    Due to the close proximity to the airport which is very convenient on one hand , the downside is that the planes fly very close and it can be noisy. The only other concern I had was that the mattress was extremely hard and uncomfortable but compared to all the positives , it wasn’t anything that would prevent me going there again.

    It was close to the airport. It is only a few meters away from the beach which is not endlessly long and great for a long walk. The staff is brilliant !! Super helpful. Lovely breakfast buffet. The place has a home away from home feel. Loved it.

    The shower in our room needs a deep clean and the shower head was cracked so needs replacing, as is the toilet seat. The breakfast was ok, a fairly basic breakfast with everything you need. We tended to go out partially because we prefer to go for a decent walk before breakfast.

    The location is the main selling point for us. Really lovely, quiet with great amenities. Our room (a suite on the ground floor) was fantastic, really spacious, great air con and the bathroom was a great size. The pool area is great, beds are good quality and plenty of a mix of sun and shade. We didn’t have much interaction with the staff, the receptionist was great, really welcoming.

    Thumpy music in the pool bar which was close to,our room almost all day and evening. We were on the basement floor because we had requested a room with a walk in shower. It turns out all the rooms had these so we would have requested a higher floor had we known. The price of sunbeds on part of the beach was 20 Euros a day which was too much for us.

    Huge bed. Fantastic bathroom except there was nowhere to hang bath towels in the bathroom. Lots of storage space. Towels and bed linen changed frequently. Good choice at breakfast. Cleaners were lovely. Meals in pool bar very good Reception staff very helpful. The closest beach across the field was wonderful. Easy walk to the tavernas and shops.

    The music in the breakfast area and poolbar was loud and the same playlist that repeated all day long! Also there is no good coffee in the hotel, not with breakfast, or in the poolbar…

    It was a beautiful hotel, clean, very large rooms, a nice poolbar with a lot of fresh made dishes. Lovely lady ‘Dimitra’ in the poolbar.

    The day we arrived we were unlucky and there was a massive storm. Our room was on the last floor and because of the heavy rain, the room flooded (understandable since it was very heavy rain which doesn't usually happen). The staff was really fast to relocate us to another room but we had to walk in the rain to get to the second room with all our stuff. When approached about a possible compensation for all this hassle, they just offered a drink at the bar. Also if you don't have a car, you need to walk a little bit to get to any shop/bar.

    The room was big and well equiped, with a renovated bathroom and a nice balcony with a view to the swimming pool and the common areas. There's a specific area for parking which is really convenient since it is close to the rooms with direct access (you don't need to go through reception). The swimming pool and the garden were well mantained and very close to all the rooms. The size of the hotel makes it really easy to walk everywhere. The location is great since it's next to a beach and close to some other beaches too. The breakfast is nice but mainly focused to British people so there could be local products.

    My door didn’t have a handle so I found it very difficult to close my door. The shower didn’t have a seal at the end which made the water leak out all over the shower. The breakfast was often cold and soggy but you can make it as it was included in the price. If I had to pay, I wouldn’t pay for it

    The cleaners were very friendly and kind. Very accommodating. Very good location and fantastic that the aircon was free. Brilliant room. The room was big and looked very new.

    The internet in the room was very poor. We didn’t have toilet’s door and toilet was combined with the shower, it was also build in in the room so with more then one person or family it was a hard and weird to use.

    Hotel was very clean, stuff was very nice and helpful. It was very near to the beach as well as to the street restaurants and bars however in a distance that guaranteed quiet. Pool was nice with many sun beds available. The pool bar was good with many food and beverage choices. Breakfasts were ok.

    The location was perfect for what we wanted. Right in between the beach and the Main Street with all the restaurants and bars. Very comfortable walking distance to both but still safely away from the hustle and bustle so it felt peaceful and central at the same time. Staff were very friendly, helpful and accommodating.

    I thought the pool bar was slightly on the expensive side, it was the same price as some of the upper market restaurants on the strip. The house keeper was lovely but some days slightly too keen as she would wake us up at 8.50-9.10am by coming in the room.

    Location of the property is perfect, set back enough from the strip that it’s peacefully quiet at night with just a 2/3 minute walk to the bars, restaurants and the beach. Breakfast was great value, cooked English options along with continental with enough variety. Rooms were clean, AC is great, ours looked brand new and kept the room lovely and cool. Staff were pleasant, generally if you ask them for anything they can sort it such as taxis, iron for the room etc. We had a group of young lads that by no fault of there own ended up in this quieter hotel and after the first night of getting in at 5am and waking up most of the hotel, the staff were quick to deal with them and move them to a more suitable room in the hotel that would benefit everybody else and also the group of lads.

    It would be nice, apart from teas, to have a coffee in the room.

    The hotel grounds as the interiors were lovelly, ÿclean and well looked after. The fact that is a small hotel you can enjoy peace and quiet especially during breakfast. It has this relaxation feeling about it. Staff always smiles and happy to help.

    I think breakfast should finish a little later ie 10.30 instead of 10. I had disability problems and it found it difficult to get there in plenty of time to eat so had to miss it several times

    Breakfast was ok but needed some ingredient information. For example I didn't know the omelette had green & red peppers in, so found I could not eat it.
