The hotel is in the perfect setting close to the old town and across the road from a lovely beach. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive and made you feel welcome. The breakfast was lovely with a good selection of food and was constantly being replenished. We had a spa treatment and thoroughly enjoyed that. Nothing was too much trouble for the hotel and the extras like a cold juice on the beach each morning were an example of the added extra touches.

Nothing we didn't like.

Nice and clean 5 star hotel. Good breakfast, service, location and beach.

One morning we had to suddenly make a reservation for breakfast. It was not communicated properly on the day before and we were only given a paper with QR code. The service was rude because we had no reservation. I don't want to use QR codes when I'm on vacation and I don't want to install hotel apps to my phone just to make reservation for breakfast.

The room was fantastic, comfy and clean with a great view of the beach. The location is also great as it was a short walk into the Old Town, and close to many shops.

It’s sadly quite competitive for a lounge by the pool, but there are plenty on the beach. We only had the breakfast included, and opted for dinner one night, unfortunately the food options left a lot to be desired and choices were pretty average (definitely recommend going into town for some great restaurants instead).

The hotel is convenient. All Staff can converse in English

No parking in or near the hotel. We were upgraded to a Superior room and my adult soon had the room next door. Apart from fruit on a daily basis, a turn down service (not necessary) and a bottle of wine handed to us at the beginning of our stay, our room was no different to his. They said complimentary flowers, he had plastic flowers and so did we. On leaving, We paid the same environment taxes for him in his room as ours, apparently charged per room. And then a free gift, a ceramic fish, on our departure. Given per family and not per room. Not impressed by the piece of beach where hotel had their umbrellas. Debri in front of the umbrellas including an old safety shoe and a hat.

The location was great, opposite the beach and a 10 minute walk to the old town, supermarkets, bars and restaurants all around

Not enough sunbeds at the pool, they were very spaced out and could easily have been half again, you couldn’t get a space after 9am, had to use the beach which wasn’t always my preference, only got to the pool 2 days out of 10!

It was one of the most comfortable beds I’ve ever slept in. Nice and quiet. But with lovely atmosphere and gentle music into the evening and from 9.30am drifting up to our room from the bar. We could also experience the live music every night from the bar or even from our own balcony if we felt tired and like staying in our room. The entertainment was really good. The breakfast buffet was very good, so much choice of full English/ hot items with a great selection of continental and local Greek dishes and sauces and syrups to sample. There was bottomless refills of tasty sparkling wine every morning too. With an option of late breakfasts til 11am if you want to lay in. My daughter needed a gluten free and dairy free diet which they catered for well by labelling allergens clearly by each dish/dip/juice etc. In fact the detailed labelling and extensive choice of foods and quality made it so easy and fun and good value that we chose to eat dinner at the hotel most nights. I would definitely consider going all inclusive next time (if you have a big appetite) which would include all alcoholic drinks,snacks and local delicious goats milk ice cream which you are able to order from the free sun loungers at the beach which is right opposite the hotel and really clean and beautiful overlooking the old harbour and sparkling lights of the bay. The town itself was happy and buzzy even in late October, my teenager liked the shopping opportunities in the old town and I liked the old fort, churches, lighthouse and pretty streets. I can recommend booking the taxi from the airport with booking.com, it makes for the quickest, most luxury way to get straight to the hotel/airport on time and in comfort. I always use this facility and it takes the stress out of travelling (they track your flight so even when you’re an hour late they have been waiting with a name board and smile when you come through departures.

The interconnecting doors might need better soundproofing if you had moody neighbours in the next door room, which luckily we didn’t.

Very good location, right next to the beach. Close to the old city center. Hotel with 2 outdoor and 1 indoor swimming pools. Large room, with a balcony and a sea view. Comfortable, large bed. Very clean. Comfortable bathroom. A bottle of wine and a capsule coffee machine in the room were a nice addition. Very good breakfast. Very good and polite service. If I can, I will also choose this hotel next time.

Nothing. The only problem is parking spaces nearby, but that's not the hotel's fault.

The service was 5 star. From the minute we walked in we were greeted with a fresh orange juice, a wet face towel as it was an uncomfortably hot day and a glass of water. Our bags were trolley up to our room. We were upgraded and our view was special. Location was great. Free entertainment every night. Every morning there was an impressive breakfast spogaaboard to choose from. Staff were impeccable. Pools were inviting. They have is a lovely little gift upon departure. Main market was a 15 min walk. Banana lounges were inclusive. They gave us complimentary watermelon on the beach. 10/10

No iron Paid parking was located about 10 mins away but was reasonably priced.

Stayed a week. Had a wonderful stay. Staff always friendly and helpful. Cracking Buffet Breakfast! Literally across the road from beach where sunbeds/towels provided FOC (excl 1st 2 rows). Entertainment every night and jazz for b'fast on Sunday. Absolutely recommended. 15 minutes stroll along promenade into old town.

The hotel is beautiful and clean. Everything looks new and well maintained. The room was big and comfortable. We enjoyed the staying very much. There are three pools (one indoor) and the private beach across the road, so you can always find a space to sit and enjoy. The food was very good in the breakfast and the chef created, with a smile, special dishes for my vegan wife everyday. The place is very close to the old town (15m walk) and it's located straight on the boardwalk.
