Where do I begin?! This was a rather underwhelming experience and overall a terrible value for money. We came with friends who have been here before and enjoyed their stay three years ago. Not sure if that much has changed in the past few years, but right now I wouldn’t recommend this hotel to anyone. First of all, such an old hotel to be rated 4 stars is a joke - everything needs renovation, the reception area, restaurant, dated bathrooms, almost non functional shower, toilet that has years of built up dirt, doors to the rooms that are opening with a key and you need to check three times when closing to ensure it’s actuality closed. We were in a family room and had the loveliest view of the sea and the sunset which we were unable to enjoy due to the aircon set on the terrace, right above the chears which made an impossible noise and was producing tons of heat while on. Walls are paper thin, so if you are surrounded by families with screaming kids or loud and drunk young adults (as we were) don’t expect to get any sleep during the early hours of the night. This hotel is an all inclusive only resort without any option to dine a la cart in the resort itself and as with other such hotels, my expectations were really low. However they even managed to disappoint more than a similar resort I visited years ago in Egypt. Breakfast was okayish but boring - a bunch of deli meat that I had no desire to try, greek cheeses and honey, standard veggies (tomato, cucumber, paprika), Fried eggs, boiled eggs, very dry omelets, some selection of very sugary cereals that you could pair only with sweet greek yogurt and plain milk (and soy/almond milk, ok I have to give tham that). There was a selection of fresh bread and some rather sad pastry that looked and tasted like lidl frozen pastry, and not a single croissant (which even some 3* hotels offer). Fruit selection was wide variety of compote fruits in heavy sugary syrups every day and usually only one variety of fresh fruits interchanged daily between apples, peaches and watermelon. Lunch and dinner had the same concept and were changed daily, but all I can say is from 8 people, only three of us actually tried some of the food, other 5 ate fried potatos, salads and bread for the entirety of our stay there - thats how unappealing most of the food looked. I’ll give you an example - we had salmon for lunch one day and salmon looked gray, that same day for dinner they served tuna which again looked the same tone of gray (salmon should be pink and tuna red, right?). Salmon was fine when you taste it, but tuna was so dry I couldnt even eat one bite. All the meat I tried had tasted the same chicken/beef/lamb/meatballs?! and overall everything was overcooked most of the time. As for drinks, you had to beg waiters to give you a glass of water, having anything else to drink with your meal was a mission impossible. They are obviously trained not to get drinks. Theres so many of them at all meals but all they do is move plates
