This was our first time in Greece and we absolutely loved it. The accommodation was great and we would definitely recommend this place to others. The location is perfect. Really close to the airport and if you’re lucky you can even watch the planes take off and land from the balcony. It was fun to see and not disturbing at all. The air conditioning was perfect, which was amazing during the hot days. The place was super clean and well looked after, which we really appreciated. The breakfast and dinner were also very tasty with plenty of options. What we’ll remember most is how friendly and helpful all the staff were. They really do everything to make your stay as nice as possible. There are lots of adorable cats around that make the days even better. We flew back yesterday and we already miss it

From start to finish simply perfect! The warm welcome with tips for excursions already made us feel at home. The property is small, modern, and very well maintained. Our room was spotless, with a rain shower and a spacious balcony. The food (half board) was outstanding: varied, different every day, and of the highest quality. Breakfast was excellent, dinner even better – and the desserts were absolutely world-class! We enjoyed everything on the terrace with a breathtaking sea view and unforgettable sunsets. The pool is beautiful, the sunbeds extremely comfortable, and the entire property feels very well cared for. There’s even a small kiosk right next to the hotel. The beach is only a 5-minute walk away, and there’s also a bus stop there – ideal if you don’t have a rental car. We had a fantastic week – thank you so much! We will definitely be back.

Admittedly we went right at the end of the season but the food and service were second to none. The staff, and I mean ALL THE STAFF were absolutely wonderful. As a cat lover, having the friendly and approachable strays around was not a problem, expect to find them all over the island. In October when we went the sea was warmer than the pool but the loungers were so comfortable it made up for it. We did have a small problem with ants around the patio doors and sink area. Were kindly offered a different room but decided the upheaval was worse than the ants. All in all a fantastic place to stay. Our sea view balcony also had sight of the airport landing strip and watching the occasional plane coming in to land was fascinating. Highlights of the trip were the cave at the end of Myrtos beach, Saint Gerasimos church, Ainos National Park View Point and Paliolinos Beach. Oct 4th for a week.
