We booked on short notice and were lucky to get a sea view room with a great size balcony. Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was clean and had a very comfortable bed. Bathroom had great water pressure and good sized modern shower. Easy walk into Plakias itself where there are many shops and tavernas to visit. There’s a small pebble beach directly in front of the hotel, which had stunning sunset views. Several other beaches are a short drive away. Nice breakfast in the garden area. We were traveling with our dog, and he was welcomed too. Would definitely stay here again!

Yair Israel

Amazing view, delicious breakfast. The staff was friendly, they organized our late checkin and it was great they had showers in the common area of the hotel, so even after you checkout you can enjoy the day out and come back for a shower.

Elizabeth Australia

The room and the bathroom were spacious, and had a terrace with sea-view. The staff was very kind and thank you for the restaurant offer for dinner. The breakfast was also super, with a huge selection and it is served in the garden, between flowers and with a view to the sea.

    Ramp at entrance for luggage, wheelchair or strollers but a few steps inside the building. A lift for 1st and 2nd floor. We have hosted guests with wheelchair but it depends on the mobility of the guest since the hotel does not fulfill the standards.
