Stayed for a week and would have preferred longer! The staff were so friendly and helpful and the food was fresh, plentiful and varied. Evening menus are geographically themed and you’re spoiled for choice. The à la carte dinner available was most enjoyable.
A highlight for us was the rock band on the Friday evening.
Some guests took the opportunity to reserve sunbeds from very early in the morning despite only using them later in the day. The pool is not enormous but more than adequate and nicely relaxing without intrusive music.
Our only reservation was that the pricey massage was sub par so would not recommend. This of course may vary depending upon the staff.
Well worth a visit.
Staff very welcoming on arrival, complimentary drink offered which wasn’t expected. Room clean and tidy. Bathroom a little bit dark when in shower, could have done with extra light facing into shower. Light outside our balcony/terrace area didn’t work so was a little dark when trying to get back in room on a night. Would recommend that people don’t eat around pool area due to ants but daytime snack food fantastic, and cocktails. Evening meals were lukewarm and not really to our taste but good choice. Enjoyed our stay and would definitely return and recommend to friends if you’re looking for a relaxing holiday.
Ifigenia made me Forget all my problems with her magic hand. Knowing that it was my first time getting a massage
Nice, clean, quiet, excellent hotel staff, great food - good idea /every evening a different cuisine - italian, mexico, asia, greek, ... very fresh/. Also breakfast excellent. Plus a bottle of red wine on the house. I want to go back there right now !
We had a really great, relaxing time at this lovely hotel. The room was fine with great aircon - perfect for a pool holiday. The pool area was spotless and the pool itself was clean and never busy. The food and restaurant was amongst the nicest buffet-type experiences we’ve had with lots of variety- again immaculately presented. Most of all the staff were absolutely lovely- friendly, helpful and they literally could not do enough for you. On arrival we did think it was a little small with the sun beds close together but in the end this made no difference. We had a really needed relaxing holiday and would like to thank the staff for all they did to make this possible. We would definitely recommend this hotel!
