We had a really good two weeks holiday here and enjoyed the pool, the drinks, the food and our Jet2 newer Premium room (412) was pretty smart with efficient air conditioning and a distant sea view. There was plenty of hanging space but remember to take extra hangers as there is zero drawer space. Despite the boxy bedside tables and other furniture looking quite practical you end up piling your smalls and swimwear where your cases are supposed to go! All your other holiday bits and belongings end up on display, which kind of spoils the trendy minimalist look. We had sunny weather apart from 3 days of torrential thundery storms which resulted in a leaking bathroom ceiling. The roof was quickly repaired when the rain stopped briefly and we had no further issues. Being set on a hillside the hotel has quite a few steps to negotiate but the lift from the pool took us straight to our room so it wasn’t too bad for us, but anyone with mobility issues would struggle to get to the restaurant from the pool I imagine. The staff were great and friendly especially Michael the Animation chap who works super-hard to keep everyone entertained. The restaurant staff were all very efficient, lovely and smiley - Kalli and Yannis on the bar were too, (the younger two bar lads in the evening looked bored by all the guests and rarely went the extra mile to garnish drinks or even smile at you!). There are 6 A/I cocktail choices and some were nicer than others. My favourite was the gin-based Classic Gimlet. The measures were often strong but it was all acceptable stuff and the wine and beer wasn’t bad for all-inclusive either! We enjoyed all the Greek food choices and couldn’t understand some overheard moaning by people, mainly Brits, who piled up chips, pasta and pizza everyday in preference to it! There was plenty of fresh salad, olives, feta cheese, calamari, souvlaki, perch, beef stifado, moussaka, tilapia, stuffed peppers, chicken etc on offer at lunch and dinner and we looked forward to every meal. The choices at breakfast were fine too with eggs, beans and “ bacon” on offer, as were the yummy little cakes and desserts. We used the shuttle bus to the narrow, pebbly beach once and it was a Godsend as it’s a helluva walk back up! The main bus stop outside the front door took us to Hanioti, Pefkhohori and Kallithea on a cooler day too. We watched football at Casablanca down the ***** which did nice cocktails. Would I return? Maybe. Next time I’d probably go to a hotel in the area with direct beach access and somewhere pretty to stroll in the evening but I wouldn’t rule it out as it was great value for money.
