Great hotel, and great staff! The buffet was good with a good variety, and not the same repeat dishes everyday. The only downside is I wish the kids pool was near the adult pool, as it’s actually separated by the hotel itself from front vs back. Regardless, would stay here again!

Nice, quiet and clean comfortable stay. The breakfast was good. We got twin bed when requested for double, they added a nice thick topper. Very helpful staff. And added bonus as they gave us free olive oil gift as well as Easter gift hamper. Just a note to remember that you get water only on your arrival then you need to get your own.

It's an old hotel, but was recently expanded with a new building at the back. We were lucky to get one of those rooms, which was a pleasant surprise. Even though it's on a very busy road, those rooms were very quiet, as they are at the back of the hotel. No sea view from our room, but a nice beach with services is only a 3 minutes walk away. Breakfast was included and was nice. Due to COVID protocols, the cleaners would not clean the room every day, but at least we got fresh towels every day. They even provided us with pool/sea towels. They should try to use the sun to heat the pool. The water was not warm enough in October.

The hotel is situated near the old town, (walking distanc ). Lots of restaurants and shops nearby. We had an upgrade for free which was nice. Never had problem with sunbeds, always some available. Near the beach (1-2 min walk). The only negative thing was their very poor wifi.

Good hotel but needs some improvement
This hotel is very nice but is let down by poor wifi connection in rooms, this was slightly better in the communal areas but even then the speed was very slow. The air conditioning system was also a problem; we had problems with this from day 1 and it was never properly fixed by the time we left 9 days later. I repeatedly asked the reception desk to fix it but they usually suggested I hadn't closed the doors properly and this problem was never resolved. This made sleeping very difficult as once the sun came up the room became very hot quickly.
