“We loved the 5 star experience on this 3 star hotel”

Let me start by making it crystal clear - what you read next is to been seen more as observations than negative feedback This is a 5 star experience on a 3 star hotel If you decide to visit this hotel, and you bring the mentality that you are going to a 3 star and not a 5 star hotel - then you ar… more

Let me start by making it crystal clear - what you read next is to been seen more as observations than negative feedback This is a 5 star experience on a 3 star hotel If you decide to visit this hotel, and you bring the mentality that you are going to a 3 star and not a 5 star hotel - then you are likely to experience a 5 star stay Be aware that the hotel is on top of a small hill, which means that if you struggle to walk a few hundred meters with an okay elevation level consider to take a taxi home The beach is also close by also at the foot of the hill First of all: what makes this hotel stand out is the owner(s)/staff(s) of this hotel They are all, without exception, genuine welcoming, smiling, personal, friendly and right out pleasant to be around This goes from the reception to the gartner and the housekeeping The Room: We had one of the rooms with the main beedroom on the 1st floor and the kitchen and 2 sleeping couches downstairs There is a wc and bath on both floors and a terrace on both floors There is however only 1 air condition and as you can see on my photos its located high up The only way to try and cool the 1st floor is by using the “swing” functionality on the remote to make the fans try and swing up the cold air But as hot air rises and cold air falls you will experience that those sleeping on the 1st floor can be s bit warm here in the summer and those at the ground floor a bit cold The kitchen is small and so is the fridge, but as we only used the kitchen to cool our beverages and make a lunch sandwich it was no problem If you plan to actually cook you could be challenged a bit The 2 main beds are good and the 2 sleeping couches are hard as a rock but the springs in your back makes you forget that ;) There is a tv with a few channels nothing really but we mostly came back from Aqia Marina around 2300 and straight to sleep The Wifi in the room, as in most southern hotels, are non-existing so bring you 4G mobile data The water in the bath was nice and warm at all hours of the day There is daily cleaning of the room with floors been washed etc and new towels and bed linen every 3rd day If you look at my photo you can see the finish around the sink, the cub bards, electrical sockets etc. But everything was fully functional in the room and it was nice and clean I would suggest to bring some extension cords for iPad/iPhone charging etc. As the number and placement of those outlets is from a time before electronic devices The Pool: the pool is kept very clean and so is the surrounding pool areas There is no pool towels so bring your own There is a life guard on duty most of the day and he also keeps the pool area spotless The cleaning staff also wash the tiles every morning The pool is nice and deep for diving in around 3 meters deep at the deep end There is enough sun beds for all guests so no problem getting one And the hotel is not strict about you enjoying a can of soda you bought at the mini market etc Even though they also have a pool bar/ lunch restaurant Be aware that its only open between 12-17 so dinner is not possible on the hotel Breakfast: we had bought breakfast and every morning we were greated by a lovely smiling man and women (maybe the hotel owners man/wife) Always smiling, always taking their time to help the first comers etc. The breakfast is good value for the price paid and what you need and nothing more Bit of eggs, bacon, bread, cheese, meats, yogurt, serial, fruits and some cake and the juice is “concentrate” with water and a coffee machine A good start to the day The Mini Market: there is a small mini market attached to the hotels, its open between 8-17 They have your basic breads, fizzy drinks, beers, wines, butter, ice cream, floating plastic devices for the pool etc. The prices are slightly above the prices in the supermarkets at the foot of the hill, as I recall its 1,5 eur for a cola and maybe 1,2 down the hill In the large scheme of things it was ok prices for the convenience The hotel is around 3 kilometers from the center of Aqia Marina which has a little more rich restaurant and night life and you can ask the reception to call you a taxi and for it to take you there, the price is 10 euro one way There is a turist tax of 3 euro per day per room and for some reason it always annoyed me that this is not just a part of the up front price when you book the hotel But its small potato's 24 euro we paid for 8 days All in all we had a wonderful stay and I cant rule out that we would come again as the kids also loved this place 5 stars is hereby given
