My last holiday abroad was 11yrs ago I hoped Iade the right choice.....and I did! Lovely hotel, all inclusive, great location right on the beach! The rooms were spacious ( they actually upgraded us upon arrival). They are kept spotlessly clean as is all the other areas. The staff are lovely and work extremely hard. A special mention goes to Zoe, Anna, Chris ( now left to go to university in Athens), and Andreas who staff the pool bar. Nothing is too much trouble. The food choices are good with something for everyone. All in all a lovely 2 week break and I would recommend this hotel
