Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at this charming hotel. The staff were incredibly welcoming, creating a friendly atmosphere that made us feel right at home. Everything was clean and well-maintained, and the swimming pools were a refreshing spot to unwind. It's just a short walk to the beach, and the dining options were delightful, especially the local tavernas nearby. However, I felt that the buffet selection could use a bit more variety, and parking was a bit tricky. Overall, it's a great choice for a relaxing family getaway.
I had an incredible stay at this hotel, where the atmosphere felt like home, thanks to the warm and welcoming staff. The rooms were modern and spacious, perfect for relaxation, and the dining experience was delightful with fantastic food every day. However, I did find the beach area to be lacking in entertainment and the surrounding area felt somewhat abandoned, which was a slight downside.
I recently stayed at this lovely family-run hotel and had a fantastic time. The friendly and helpful staff made me feel right at home, and the hotel was very clean. I truly enjoyed the homemade local dishes served at the restaurant. However, the area felt somewhat isolated with limited activities nearby, which may not suit everyone. Overall, it’s a peaceful spot to unwind and relax.
My stay at this hotel was an absolute delight! The atmosphere was warm and homely, making it easy to feel at ease right away. The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful, ensuring we had everything we needed. However, while the dining was nice, I felt there could be a bit more variety, especially in lunch options. The proximity to the beach was fantastic, and the peaceful surroundings allowed for a truly relaxing getaway.
This family-run hotel is a gem in a quiet Greek village. The staff is genuinely welcoming and goes above and beyond to make your stay special. The location is perfect, just a short stroll to the beach. However, the dining options could use some improvement as they felt quite basic at times. Overall, it's a great choice for those seeking relaxation in a serene environment.
Our stay at the hotel was truly memorable! The surrounding area is peaceful, allowing for a relaxing vacation, while the helpful staff made us feel right at home. The food served was delicious, showcasing authentic Greek cuisine. However, it would have been great to see a bit more variety in the buffet options. On the whole, it's a wonderful family-friendly environment that I would highly recommend to anyone looking to unwind.
This hotel is a wonderful choice for families looking to relax in a peaceful setting, with fantastic staff and delicious food. The proximity to the beach is a big advantage, and the welcoming atmosphere really makes you feel at home.

I had an amazing stay at this hotel, where the atmosphere feels warm and welcoming. The staff truly made us feel at home, and the peaceful location allowed us to relax. While the buffet was smaller than expected, everything we tried was delicious, especially the local taverns nearby. The beach is just a short walk away, providing easy access to sun and sea for a wonderfully laid-back vacation.
We had a brilliant stay at this hotel, enjoying the serene atmosphere and excellent service from the staff. The rooms were spacious and kept impeccably clean. It's a stone's throw from the beach, which is perfect for those lazy sunny days. However, while the dining options were good, I would have loved to see a bit more variety during breakfast. Overall, it was a fantastic experience with just a few minor areas for improvement.
I had an overall enjoyable stay at this hotel. The staff made my experience memorable with their warm hospitality, and the clean, spacious rooms contributed greatly to my comfort. However, the food options left much to be desired, as they weren't quite up to par. The beach area was also not the most appealing, but I appreciated the quiet surroundings for relaxation.
