The breakfast has a great selection and it was delicious. I booked tours from the front office for convenience. Spiros, the manager, helped me a lot when strong winds changed my ferry plans. He even delivered shoes I had left behind at the ferry.
The hotel bar is expensive when compared to local prices.
