Room: - AC is not working from October on, we had very hot night in October with a baby, and window open, we got bitten by lots of moskitos. Reception gave us a fan as the room centralized fan was kind of useless. - Toilet water is not refilling correctly in the room. - Water drainage from the sink is leaking on the bathroom floor. - Half bottom part of the fridge door is black from mold because of the door not closing correctly, and so the fridge is never cold. - The whole room/hotel looks like not refreshed for the past 30 years at least. Rest of the hotel: - The food is of the lowest quality and taste in a hotel we have ever experienced… and we honestly do not understand the good reviews. Most of the food is from cans and not fresh at all. There is very little choice of fruits, all deserts are pre-made frozen catering. One evening, one of the kitchen worker refilled the mash potatoes tray directly from a huge can… the food was the biggest negative point for us in this hotel. - Same as the room, the hotel looks very old. - The elevator really needs to be replaced, everyone was annoyed. Extremely slow and squeezing people entering as they are not even detecting people passing. Dangerous with the kids! - Not possible to eat (breakfast, lunch or dinner) outside from the main restaurant, only the snack bar and cafeteria (bar) have an outside sitting area. - The pool is opening at 10am which we find quite late and we are awake at 7am. - They don’t have any good coffee machine. Coffee from the main restaurant buffet is tetrapack pre-mixed coffee, we saw it being refilled (tastes like bad instant coffee). Wanted to get myself a good coffee from the snack bar and pay extra for it : they had only “caps” coffee. Around the hotel: - It’s a rocky beach and very windy and wavy (wind/kitesurf might be possible that as well was closed) - Airplanes are passing just above the hotel making it impossible to nap outside or windows open - Around the hotel is super touristic, shops and restaurants are made for tourists and the food quality is not great, but visiting further away you can find great restaurants. - End of October, lots of shops, restaurants and hotels were closed for the winter already. Was a bit feeling like a ghost town. Recommended restaurants around: - Philerimos - Gitonia We do not understand the amount of good reviews fo this hotel. The customers are mainly Germans and British, 60+, and maybe the food quality is not an issue for most of them. The hotel is rated 4 stars (local) - this is a joke. The positive point was the very nice people working in the hotel, cleaning ladies and at the restaurant.
