I had a mixed experience at this resort. The pools and water slides were fantastic and provided plenty of fun, but I found the dining options to be limited and inconsistent in quality. The staff were generally helpful, but the service felt disorganized at times. Overall, it offered a pleasant stay, but there are definitely areas for improvement.

During my lovely stay at this hotel, I found the pools fantastic and enjoyed the charming atmosphere of the various dining options, especially the Greek and Italian restaurants. However, I faced some difficulties with the uncomfortable bed and inconsistent internet access that affected my experience. Overall, it's a great place with lots of enjoyable features but has room for improvement.

Overall, my stay at the hotel was quite enjoyable, with stunning sea views from the balcony and a good variety of pools to choose from. However, there were some downsides, like the dated room decor and an incident with missing cash that left me a bit uneasy. The entertainment could also use improvement to better cater to all ages. Still, I had a great time enjoying the amenities and the beautiful surroundings.

The rooms were large and spacious with a lovely balcony overlooking the kids’ pool and a sea view. However, they could use some modernization as they felt a little dated.

The hotel is situated on a hillside, providing fantastic views, but be prepared for a bit of a trek back up. It’s a 10-15 minute walk to the beach, with a shuttle available.
Dining

While the buffet offered a variety of options, some special dining experiences left a bit to be desired, particularly the Italian restaurant. However, the Aegean restaurant was a highlight.

The pools were a major highlight, especially the water slides that entertained the kids for hours. However, the adult-only area provided a much-needed quiet escape.

The hotel offered a mixed experience. We appreciated the cleanliness and the staff's efforts, but the dining options left a lot to be desired, particularly in terms of authentic Greek food. The rooms were quite dated, and the location, while decent, came with its inconveniences, especially concerning access to the beach. Overall, it was a memorable trip, but I wouldn’t choose this hotel again.

Rooms
5.0
The room we had was rather disappointing, very basic and outdated, not at all like the photos shown online. It didn’t meet our expectations, especially considering we booked a superior room.
Service

While some staff members were pleasant, we encountered several who seemed overwhelmed and less attentive, particularly during busy dining times.
Location
5.0
The location was alright but crossing the busy road to access the beach was a hassle. The underpass offered a safer route but still required a bit of a walk.
Dining
5.0
The food selection mostly catered to generic tastes and lacked authentic local flavors. It was disappointing not to experience traditional Greek cuisine during our stay.
Facilities

The general facilities were decent, but everything felt very standard and not luxurious as expected for a resort spa. The communal areas were nice, but nothing stood out.

We had a delightful time at this hotel, ideal for a relaxing pool holiday. The atmosphere was quite serene, especially around the adult-only area, which allowed us to unwind without disturbances. However, the location does require some transport to get to the beach, and the evening dining setup could use some improvement, especially with wait times for service. Overall, a solid experience with some minor drawbacks.

Rooms
8.0
Our room was spacious and comfortable, with a lovely balcony overlooking the pool. However, it was subject to noise from the lobby bar in the evenings, so privacy was an issue.
Service

Service at the hotel was generally good, though it could be slow at peak times, especially in the evening. The staff worked hard but seemed a bit understaffed during busy periods.
Location

The hotel is situated on a hill, making it a bit far from the beach. A mini-bus service helps, but it can get crowded. However, the walk to nearby Stalis is quite scenic.
Dining

The food was varied and well-prepared, though not ideal for those who prefer simpler fare. Evening dining service faced some delays, which was a bit frustrating.

The facilities, especially the pool areas, were impressive. We enjoyed the fun pool and the amenities available throughout the resort.
