comfortable bed professional staff
i stayed in a superior waterfront bungalow. the room featured a comfortable bed. i also appreciated the professional staff . ekaterina at the reception and maria the housekeeper were very accommodating! i found them professional. the hotel grounds offered a private park right by the sea.
the menu at the beach bar could see some improvements. it was a slight letdown compared to other aspects.

Romantic Seaside Escape
fine waterfront easy access superb breakfast local dining
The hotel location offered nearly 300 meters of fine waterfront. Sunbathing was amazing under an umbrella. Clear, lake-like water access was easy from the rocks or the beach. Breakfast had superb options. A short walk led to local dining in town.
The gym treadmills need calibration. the equipment needed wipes!

private beaches friendly staff attentive service misleading names mass resort reserved chairs
I appreciated the location. two private beaches and a short walk into town are available. the staff was very friendly. i especially admired alexandros at the main bar. He was attentive and remembered details.
I found the hotel names for their rooms misleading. My room was not near the water. it felt very much like a mass resort. i had to fight my way to get a spot at the beach and guests reserved chairs without showing up.
