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

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!

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.
