We arrived late at night and received a most delicious welcome drink - that set the tone of the holiday - the staff were all very friendly and helpful. The rooms were comfortable with a balcony, heavy blackout blinds and a lovely modern bathroom. There was also a small kitchenette although all we used was the fridge. The air conditioning was essential and easy to operate. My wife and I shared a room with our three teenage daughters next door. We were on the top / second floor and there was a small lift. The breakfast was a nice spread of cereals, nuts, honey, Yoghurt, Greek pastries, fruit, meat, cheese, juice and hot drinks. We were also invited to order eggs in various ways each morning. The breakfast was served each day at the rear of the hotel on a lovely shaded patio [note that the background noise from the insects was quite loud throughout the day!]. The swimming pool, also at the back of the hotel and up some steps, was excellent - warm and big enough for several guests to use simultaneously - with a handy cold shower nearby. Around the pool were plenty of sun loungers and sun shades with towels provided. Although not well advertised the hotel did serve a limited lunch menu until 3pm. When the pool was open there was also a lifeguard who ensured that we also had fluffy towels to use [these were also permitted to be taken to the nearby beach]. The front of the hotel was set back from the road and there were many excellent eateries a short walk from the hotel. One of our favourites was a Greek bakery and ice cream shop.

We stayed here as a couple for 4 nights to attend a friend’s wedding at the nearby Agreco Farm. The hotel is located just off the A90 / E75 main highway which despite creating some traffic noise is outweighed by the convenience of quickly accessing the main routes to travel elsewhere on the island. It has a small and intimate feel about it and the reception and common areas inside and out are clean and very well maintained. Our room was a ground floor superior guest room booked on a bed & breakfast basis. The room was quite spacious and had a kitchenette and private outside courtyard. AirCon worked well and was simple to operate & bed was comfortable. Room was cleaned everyday to a high standard and environmental considerations were evident and well observed. Outside space and pool were really nice and provided a good opportunity to just relax for a while before & after breakfast. Traffic noice wasn’t an issue, cicadas were louder. Continental breakfasts are served in the beautiful garden, fresh ingredients and there is plenty of choice plus omelettes made to order are included. I’ve travelled extensively for my job and have plenty of hotel experiences to compare against. In terms of value for money and delivery, this one does everything it needs to and more to a great standard. In my opinion what elevates this particular hotel is the quality of its staff, nothing was too much trouble. They were friendly and made us feel extremely welcome. They took an interest in our friend’s wedding at Agreco Farm and helped us with local knowledge, taxi bookings , etc. Dora and her team are to be congratulated. Highly recommended.

I stayed at this hotel as a single parent with my two daughters for 6 nights. We arrived very late on Monday evening & were greeted with drinks and food. Our room was clean and comfortable & we had a ground floor room facing the pool which I requested before we arrived. Breakfast was lovely each morning, greeted with friendly faces. My daughters loved the Greek yogurt, fruit and pastries. We spent our days by the pool. The loungers were very comfy and we had the pool to ourselves a lot of the time. A very quiet and peaceful location despite being next to a road. We had lunch most days at the pool - the pizzas were lovely & my youngest loved the banana smoothies. The bakery next door was great for gelato and cakes, and a good coffee! We visited a few of the tavernas and food quality and price was excellent. The beach is just over the road but we didn’t spend much time there just because we prefer a pool. Overall this holiday was so lovely - so chilled and relaxing. The staff are really friendly - my daughter hurt herself on the first day & they called a doctor over to get her checked out. Nothing was too much trouble & they were always so friendly and kind. I paid an extra 20 euros for us to have our room until 6pm on the last day due to our late flight home. I thought this was very reasonable. Thank you for a lovely stay! We will be back :-)

Stayed sept 2025 this a totally honest review. arrived to a warm welcome shown to lovely ground floor room opposite the pool with a terrace the room was lovely and very clean. The mattress was very soft and lumpy maybe it is time for a change of mattress The breakfast was lovely great coffee and omeletes. All the staff were kind and respectful and very helpful. The pool area was lovely but the hand rails at the steps to get into the pool were wobbly so i did not go in as i felt unsecure it was a shame shops and eateries are close by. I would go back again in 2026 if the mattress was changed for a harder one and the hand rails were stabalised so i could use the pool thanks to all the staff for their hard work.
