This hotel was booked for our honeymoon and we loved it, the staff were very friendly and helpful at all times, very reasonably priced stay as well as amenities, we booked a massage at the aurora spa and it was incredible, katerina was very helpful after and gave us advice after about water intake and exercises to do to help circulation, would definitely go back to this resort again. Highly recommend

We have been here just a day but plan to stay for two weeks. Lovely quiet setting and well maintained grounds. All the staff have been helpful and friendly. The room is clean and has a lovely balcony with comfy seats. The bed suits us well and there are fly screens on the door and window which is great if you like to sleep with fresh air. Breakfast was well organised and there was an adequate selection to choose from. Everything was spotlessly clean. We were surprised to find no kettle, tea or coffee in the room although there are cups and saucers. Surprising for a hotel calling itself luxury. Also no coat hooks and the common problem of not enough hangars in the wardrobe. However, we are sure we will have a great time.

Had our honeymoon here. ❤️ The hotel very nice but needs a bit of TLC. Very clean and maid service everyday so came back to a spotless room. Pool area lovely with a nice food/drinks bar. Breakfast has everything you need and well cooked. Hotel staff 💯 , friendly and genuine. Only negative, Villas Rossa wine bar connected to the hotel , never saw one person drinking or eating in there ? Very odd ! The location is perfect! Best beaches , best tavernas. Never had a holiday where I’d give 10/10 for every meal. The locals were amazingly friendly and genuine. Can’t wait to go back.

“Average Hotel in AMAZING location”

LOTS of positives. Stunning location. We had a room on the 2nd floor with a beautiful clear view of Jason’s Bite and the clear blue Sea. Plenty of Parking.

LOTS of positives. Stunning location. We had a room on the 2nd floor with a beautiful clear view of Jason’s Bite and the clear blue Sea. Plenty of Parking. A bit strange there was nobody to help with our luggage but there was a lift so not too bad. The lift only goes to the 2nd floor so it would have difficult had we been on floor 3 or 4. Good sized, comfortable room with a very comfortable, firm double bed. Lots of storage space. Kettle and fridge in the room. The room was very clean. The air con was strong and pretty quiet. Lovely large balcony. A few minor maintenance issues such as: cracks in floor tiles (in the room and the hotel itself) The shower covered the floor in water so we had to throw towels down. The toilet seat was wobbly. The door to the balcony was very stiff. None of these minor things would stop us staying again. The reception staff were all very helpful. I borrowed a few books to read from the lobby area which was a nice touch. There are sofas in the lobby where the WiFi is stronger and a TV with Netflix should you fancy it. Villa Rossa bar is a lovely little spot to sit on an evening and have a drink. It’s very overpriced though compared to the surrounding area. You can literally cross the road to Perfetto or walk 5 minutes to Mais and pay half the price. The woman serving was always cheery and kind. The grumpy older man working alongside her was unfortunately EXTREMELY rude. I have 3 main negatives. There isn’t a door sign for Do Not Disturb/Please Clean my Room which I have never experienced anywhere. It was very stressful as the over zealous maids bang on your door and if you aren’t fast enough let themselves in! Once I was on the toilet and once I was asleep. If you answered and told them please come back later they didn’t always come back later so we slept in sandy sheets a couple of times. Even when you’d said no thank you and they knew you were sleeping or relaxing in your room they were VERY loud and inconsiderate first thing in the morning. Shouting to each other across the balconies. There are signs which state the pool is open until 8pm and not to use it after for your safety as this is when chlorine is added. I went down to do lengths at 7pm after the pool bar had closed and nobody was around. As we were drying off at 7.30pm we witnessed a man throw white powder in the pool which I assume was the chlorine. No sign went up and he gave no warning so if we’d gone down later we would have got in the pool none the wiser as it clearly states 8pm. Not great for health and safety. Breakfast isn’t great. I only got up for it 3 times out of 11. My husband went without fail but he will literally eat anything for the sake of it. I personally like to eat scrambled eggs with toast followed by fruit and yoghurt. The Greek yoghurt had a strange jelly like consistency. The only fruit was tinned pineapple rings and a bowl of chopped fruit salad in juice which was mostly apple. The scrambled egg was over cooked and dry and had chunks of egg white in it where it hadn’t been mixed properly. The pastries were always cold and dry. The cold meats and cheeses always had flies buzzing around. I bought greek yoghurt from Mais Supermarket and some fresh fruit and had that in my room almost every day. On the days when the breakfast buffet had pancakes on my husband brought me some to the room which I ate with honey as something extra to fill me up. They were pleasant but quite dry. The Breakfast room itself is hot and stuffy. The doors to outside are open so no functioning air conditioning in there which made it intolerable for me. I’d hate to experience it in peak summer. We didn’t eat from the pool bar but we had a Frappe which was nice. We didn’t try the buffet dinner offering which is €17 pp. We did look once and even my husband said it was all slop so no thanks. We also didn’t eat at Villa Rossa as the menu didn’t particularly inspire and it was overpriced. I did have Galaktoboureko once which was yummy but €10 when it’s €4 most other places. You are surrounded by amazing Tavernas within walking distance and if you have a car then your options are limitless so please don’t limit yourself to the hotels poor offerings. I highly recommend: Perfetto Mais Cafe Dopias House Don’t get ripped off at the Italian! If you drive then try: Lithies Skartofoli Agnadi Overall we would stay here again purely for the location and convenience as it’s a great base and lovely and clean but I would prefer a room only option as I would not be eating Breakfast there.
