Be very wary if half board!
We arrived around 8pm after a long day of travelling with a 7 month old baby. When we arrived, there was confusion at reception and they seemed to not be able to find our booking to begin with. When we eventually got to our room, the place was flooded as the cleaners had left our patio doors open all day and there had been a huge storm in the evening. The air con was barely working and we put up with it at best. Our room was right at the back of the hotel which backed on to a karaoke / sports bar. Although this has nothing to do with the hotel, they played music extremely loudly well in to the early hours of the morning which woke both us and the baby on multiple occasions.
The food at the hotel was impressive, we ate only at the main restaurant as we were half board so chose to eat out on a few occasions, we were impressed that if you wanted to, you could swap your dinner option to have lunch at the hotel instead. The staff were always friendly and welcoming at the restaurant.
The issue we had was the fact we stayed half board. This meant our drinks were not included. When we came to leave, we were told our bill was €113. We were shocked as we had only had a couple of drinks in the hotel so couldn’t believe it could be this much money. We asked for a receipt which the hotel provided and they produced all of the receipts for the drinks we had been charged for. When we looked through these, it was clear from the signatures that almost half of the drinks we’d been charged for weren’t drinks that we had consumed. Both myself and my partners birthdays fell on our holiday so we went out for dinner on these dates yet there were drinks receipts from these evenings. I challenged this with staff at reception who said they would look in to it and they agreed some were not us so removed these charges. Unfortunately there were a number that they initially said they wouldn’t be able to remove. I had to provide evidence on my phone of photos I had taken outside of the hotel with timestamps which proved the drinks couldn’t have been us as we were not there for them to remove it. Although the issue was resolved with the hotel, it was such a shame that there had to be such a big argument with the staff to have these removed. We were planning on returning next year with grandparents but now we will think twice about this. The system clearly doesn’t work and we had over €75 removed from our tab of drinks that weren’t ours that we were nearly charged for.
I re attended reception on our final morning to check out after being told the previous day it was all sorted to be given another bill for €79 again for drinks that weren’t ours. Eventually the hotel agreed that we would only pay for the drinks we purchased and ended up paying €38 in total. This has really disappointed our stay and left us with a bitter taste for everything else. Please be warned and check your bills carefully before departing.

Sakis amazing service at the quiet pool area
Sakis ran the bar in the quiet pool area. He kept everything tidy and well organised and gave amazing service. The pool area and bar is a credit to him. He made our holiday wonderful. Thank you Sakis from Colin and Jackie

7-Night All-Inclusive Stay – August 2026
We stayed at this hotel for 7 nights on an all-inclusive basis in August 2026 and overall had a very enjoyable holiday.
The staff were amazing throughout our stay and always friendly and helpful. The hotel was also very clean, with housekeeping maintaining a high standard across the resort.
Food & Drinks The all-inclusive package includes international branded alcoholic drinks, which was a nice surprise. However, it would have been even better if some of the bars offered light snacks such as crisps, olives, or nuts alongside the drinks.
There are three restaurants, and all were excellent. The buffet food was well prepared and of good quality, but despite being advertised as offering international cuisine, the selection was quite limited. Most meals were predominantly Greek, with only basic international options such as pasta and pizza. After a week, the menu became repetitive. It would have been nice to have themed evenings featuring cuisines such as Chinese, Indian, or Spanish etc. The snack bar also served largely the same food every day, which became a little boring over time.
Room The room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained, although somewhat outdated. The beds were very comfortable, and the shower pressure was excellent. One downside was the open-plan bathroom design, which offers very little privacy when showering or bathing. This can be inconvenient, especially for families travelling with children.
Pools & Water Park The pool facilities were excellent. There is one adults-only pool, while the other pools are family friendly. The dedicated children's pool was great fun, and the three water slides were enjoyable for both children and adults. The pools were all overall clean but sone areas really needed a good clean especially under the stair walkway. The children's pool area could benefit from some refurbishment, as some of the paint was peeling, but this did not affect the enjoyment of the facilities.
Beach The beach is located just outside the hotel and is only a short walk away. However, the pathway within the hotel leading to the beach has very limited lighting at night, which can feel quite intimidating in the evening.
Overall Despite a few areas that could be improved, particularly the variety of food and the bathroom privacy, we had a great holiday. The exceptional staff, cleanliness, excellent pool facilities, and good all-inclusive drinks selection made for a very enjoyable stay. I would recommend this hotel to families looking for a relaxing holiday with plenty of pool activities, BUT variety of cuisines would have made it better.
