  VERY DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE OF CLEANLINESS and hygiene and breakfast problems

  Liked: The breakfast setup the fried eggs were cold process sausage and bacon were lukewarm coffee machine didn't work properly. Toaster took 4 attempts to toast the bread in the toaster

  Disliked: In the bathroom the toilet wasn't even fixed to the floor so it kept on moving you had ants come in through the tiled floor housekeeping only change the towels and made the bed. bathroom was not cleaned at any time and you can still see the residue in the sink from the previous guests very poor and hygienic standard the hotel kept switching off the breakers midday that controlled the hot water which meant we had no hot water in the morning to have a shower I had to complain severely that this was not acceptable and below standard so for the last two nights of my state I did get got hit water to shower.

  Liked: What an incredible stay! We came as a group of lads, and from the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel so welcome. Every single member of the team was friendly, helpful, and genuinely went above and beyond to make our holiday alot of fun. They really played a huge part in making our experience unforgettable. The rooms were great throughout our stay, with fresh towels and cleaning done every day, which was greatly appreciated. The pool area was fantastic—comfortable sunbeds, a brilliant atmosphere, and it genuinely felt like relaxing in a chilled-out beach club. The food was absolutely incredible. We didn’t have a single bad meal the entire time everything was fresh, delicious, and there was plenty of variety. The chef even went out of his way to get more steaks for us because we couldn’t get enough of them, which perfectly sums up the level of care and hospitality at this hotel. Honestly, the only negative thing we can say is that we didn’t book to stay longer! Thank you to everyone for such an amazing holiday. We would recommend this hotel to anyone and would love to come back in the future.🫶🏻🇬🇷
