to get started.

Nice property to stay at with easy access to Balos Beach. Still takes 30-45 mins to get to the beginning of Balos. Beautiful views from our room. Unfortunately it was too cold and windy to swim. I got a massage which was excellent. Breakfast was good.

Apartment like with small kitchenette and good size bathroom and shower. This was very spacious room with two bedrooms and living area. We loved the sea view and pool along the ocean. Breakfast was superb with tons of options. Helpful and friendly staff. We wish we could have stayed longer in fact! This is super comfortable for a group of 4

The property is in a location that is the closest to the walk/drive to Balos and about 5 minutes to the port for the ship. Staff were pleasant and welcoming when we arrived. The views were amazing! Our room was beautiful and the pool was huge and located next to the great view. We received a welcome beverage and a departure gift. Nice hotel close to a busy taverna and the sights.

Water, tea and/or coffee in the room would have been welcome. There was no convenient place to hang a towel...needs hooks!
Warm welcome on reception and the parting gift was a lovely touch. Evening buffet meal was delicious and good value for money.

Disappointing

We didnt like the place overall, we had an emergency and we had to leave 1 day earlier, the girl at the reception just smiled and said "there's nothing i can do. You need to pay 3 more euro" for some fee. We didnt want to make a scene but it felt really absord. It was enough that she would say "i will check what i can do" but she just kept saying she cant help us, we felt really bad. The breakfast is big and has alot to offer but it didnt really feel fresh so we didnt enjoyed it very much. Overall i dont think its worth the price... the attention you get from the staff means alot.
The view was very beautiful

The beach on the property is rocky and impractical for kids. I would definetly not go to balos beach by car and then by the natural stairs. Its too long and tiresome. 100% better to take the ferry.
Really nice place to stay. I recommend it! Room is big, clean, comfortable. Both breakfast and dinner were great - buffet style - everything was very tasty and there were a lot of choices

Amazing location right at the beginning of the dirt track to Balos Beach. Wonderful pool overlooking the sea and with plenty of sun up until late afternoon. Staff are super friendly and the buffet breakfast and dinner had loads of tasty options. Dinner in partic is excellent value (and there’s nothing else around there anyway!). Very peaceful and relaxing. Highly recommend!
