Absolutely stunning hotel - from the second we arrived, we were treated like family. You honestly couldn’t ask for kinder staff. The facilities are excellent and you’re 3 minutes from the beach - what more could you want?!

This is a very nice hotel. Only a few minutes drive from the airport but the airplanes are not bothering you. Nice property with lovely gardens and spacious balconies. The restaurant and the pool area was also nice. Staff was very friendly. The rooms were okey. Beds a bit hard with high pillows and bathrooms a bit small. A close walk to a very nice beach where you can rent sunbeds for a good price. There is also a good restaurant right by the beach. Was good to visit with children.

Brilliant hotel great location. Best part me and my family was the food we did half bord and was he best buffet food we have ever had. So fresh and different every night. The only down fall was the planes going over the hotel But you do get use to it. Overall brilliant hotel our first holiday with our toddler we would definitely return. Thank you

We stayed 2 weeks at the hotel with 2 kids. The place is very okay for the discount price we paid and eventhough the location is very close to the airport there is a nice beach nearby at walking distance as well as the main road. The check-in was not as we expected as the belly boy was not that friendly and didn't offer to help us take the luggage as he did for other guests. The room they initially gave us had a very small shower so different from the photos we saw when we booked and was close to the parking. They moved us to another room with a renovated shower but still there was no Wifi in the room and as a matter fact both room didn't. They didn't fix it after we told them but since we were close to the pool where there was wifi we gave up on that. I don't recommend taking half board if you're staying longer than 3 days as you'll very quickly get bored by the selection and the quality of the food. It's basically average and anything other than Greek food is not well done. Dessert is limited and they use always same ingredients but change the look. Fruit is not always fresh and it's mostly watermelon and pineapple. The staff cleaning the tables are looking every 2minutes to take the plates which becomes very annoying especially when they are ina rush and sometimes you haven't even finished.It was quite busy everyday so there was a lineup. There isn't any lifeguard at the pool or any entertainment show for the kids nor a gym so I advise you to rent a car during your stay.
