    During check-in, we were not informed that guests only receive bottled water in the room upon arrival. There are supermarkets nearby, so you can buy some. Yet, my experience with similar hotels was different - normally, bottled water is refilled during daily cleaning. The quality of the still water in the main and lunch/snack restaurants is questionable - the water tastes salty. The hotel territory is considerably small, so you cannot have long strolls there. Most of the space is occupied by chaise lounges. Most of the evening entertainments were delivered by the animators, which felt very amateur.

    The room is amazing - very spacious, light, and comfortable. There are two balconies with a direct view of the sea. We were on the top floor, right in the center of the main building. The beach is sandy with showers, toilets, and changing rooms nearby. Hotel staff and animators were friendly and helpful. I enjoyed stretching/yoga, and aqua gym training. The food was hearty and delicious.

    Our balcony was so small that we couldn't both sit down at the same time which was frustrating and we felt that there could have been more choices at meal times. However other than that we had a great time!

    The bedrooms were clean and well appointed and the hotel staff were so lovely! The pool was great and we loved the hotel’s private beach.

    Lifeguard on the beach was too anxious. He was closing the sea when it was not really necessary. As I can see,there are a lot of complains on his job, so probably the hotel management should have a word with him about his aproach to the safety🙂

    Large hotel with its own territory. Food and drinks were quite good, apart from the water which was used for tea/coffee and cocktails. It has a taste of soda and spoils the taste of the drinks a lot. But in general the dishes are variable every day and the variety of dishes was excellent. In addition, the view from the restaurant to the sunset is magnificent.

    The hotel, in general, requires some renovation, especially room's doors. They are very old The taste of soft drinks and some cocktails are weird because of the use of some chlorine water. It is either they are cleaning machines with it or mixing soft drinks with water, but it is impossible to drink. So better to ask, pour your soft drink not from the machine but from the bottle. The sea. We were quite disappointed that 4 days in a row, we were not allowed to swim due to waves. Even so, the waves were not that big, and all people are adults and can take responsibilities. The baywatch was not allowing even to enter water. What is funny, the baywatch working hour is from 10 to 18, so everyone was swimming before 10 and after 18 as no one was caring anymore and there were no guards. As people are coming to such hotels on beachfront for a reason to swim in the sea, not in the pool (the beachfront hotels are usually expensive even), it would be better if baywatch just would do their job watching people swim carefully and not far than not allowing to enter water at all.

    The all-inclusive option here is very good. We have been to many all-inclusive resorts in Greece, this one so far the best. Even so the hotel is 4 stars, the quality is high. The food selection, bars, the animation team, the stuff in general - everything was really good.

    Nothing the hotel could do about this but bear in mind smoking is allowed in public outdoor areas in Greece such as restaurant seating, by the pool etc. So if you are not a smoker be ready to be a passive smoker for a few days!

    Nice comfortable rooms with a great view of the sea as well as the mountains from our room. Staff at the front desk were very accommodating and in general staff were very friendly. Buffet had a good selection and I recommend using your one complementary meal at the set menu restaurant which was lovely with great views of the sunset.

    The sofa bed is not comfortable. The water can be choppy and you won't be allowed to swim if this is the case. They have a red/amber/green system. I'm not sure how much they can police this but they do have a lifeguard. Some of the food was a little bit under seasoned but overall very nice. The location isn't great if you want to do anything outside the hotel, however this didn't bother us as we just wanted to relax. The hotel isn't really near any towns, but it is on the bus route.

    This place is perfect if you just want to chill for a few days. The food and drinks on offer are very decent, lots of places to lounge by the pool. It's also right on the beach. There are several very cute friendly little cats (very unobtrusive). The guests are generally not British but from other parts of western Europe. There is a very full animation programme that we never participated in, but seemed very popular. Staff are all friendly and efficient.

    The hotel had everything, nice view, many sunbeds, varmpool cold pool and beach at the door. Staff was amazing and very good hygiene. The rooms had new renovation and was beautiful. The food was also amazing with a lot of verity but the best thing was the pizza at evening, big ups to him for best pizza I eat. Even the animation team was very good for organizing activities they had a lot of creativity and both good and strong personalities that makes the days even better to have fun with them. The reception were very helpful with everything. Also the drinks was amazing. 10 out of 10 everything, see you next year. /Agron

    It was AMAZING!

    At first, we were shocked that sunbed "reservations" started at 6 a.m. But it all depends on the guests habits, the staff can probably take those towels away after a certain period of time if no one comes, but still. And later we also had to get up early to take places we like the most. But don't worry, there will always be places, even if you come in the middle of breakfast. We could never find a spot on the beach, but then we found our favourite spot under a palm tree on the grass and we really enjoyed it there!

    For now - it's my favourite all inclusive hotel. I've been to many all-inclusives in other countries, but this hotel, it exceeded my expectations. Maybe I didn't expect anything, I thought “at least they would feed me and there would be no russians” but here we came and every day we said that this is incredible hotel and it has a place in our hearts. Here is some info: 1) This is an adult hotel. And that says it all. This is WOW. When you want to relax, to have a quite place, to swim quietly and read a book, this is the perfect place. Sometimes it seemed to us that people were whispering to each other when they were lying on the sun loungers so as not to disturb others. And overall, I liked the hotel guests, no drunk and shouting people, but polite and calm people. 2) Staff. Well, this is a separate love. We often talked to animators and bartenders. They are so cool and nice people. We already miss you Stelly, Chris, Alex, the cool lifeguard at the pool and the bartenders. The kitchen and restaurant staff - you are just beyond praise, you are super professionals! 3) Room. We had a junior suite. Very well maintained, beautiful and stylish. Had everything we needed. Very clean and cool view from the terrace! 4) Food. OMG!!! How delicious and varied it was! I don't like oatmeal, but here I ate even it :)) I liked absolutely everything. There are evenings of different cuisines, for example, Greek, Italian, Asian, etc. There was always different meat, every day there was some kind of fish, and sometimes a whole aquatic kingdom (tuna steaks, salmon, shrimp, octopus, mussels, and other types of fish). Sweets are just the top. Lots of fruits, vegetables, salads, pizza, pasta, soups and much more. As for drinks, we used to buy water in the store. The taste of beverages from the machine - like salt water. Cocktails also have a slightly salty taste, so we ordered a Prosecco. 5) Hotel.

    nothing to do with a 4 star. All inclusive but both breakfast and dinner felt like being in a company canteen. alcohol of dubious origin and beer mixed with water with repetitive food. water that tasted like bath. All spirits very far from the real. Desserts really good. the cleaning of the rooms was non-existent except making the bed.

    the park with palm trees. bougainvillea.
