In my opinion, the level of service of this hotel absolutely does not correspond to the declared 4* and is more like a 2* hotel. Do not waste your time and money on a vacation here. The description and photos of the hotel do not correspond to reality. I believe that the host company ION TOURS provides partners with inaccurate information about this hotel.
The hotel was chosen for a quiet and comfortable vacation, but expectations were not met.
Location.
The hotel is located near a busy highway. There is no infrastructure nearby: restaurants, cafes or places for walks. The nearest shop is located about 3 km away (40–45 minutes walk along the highway) or a few stops by bus No. 123. To get to Athens on your own, you need to take bus No. 123 to Saronida, change to bus No. 122 and only then go to the metro station.
Room.
The room did not have a hairdryer, safe or even shampoo. There is no shelf for cosmetics in the bathroom. There are only hangers in the closet - there are no shelves. The balcony chairs are old, with armrests made of leather straps. The cleaning of the rooms was very superficial, and the bed linen was changed only once in 10 days and only after contacting. In addition, there were cockroaches in the room.
Food.
Breakfast was the same every day: boiled eggs, omelet with vegetables, fried eggs, very low-quality sausages, bacon, cucumbers, tomatoes and drinks. No variety for 10 days. For dinner, they offered pasta, potatoes, rice, one type of meat, vegetables, sauces and fruits (watermelon, cantaloupe and apples, among which there were spoiled ones). From drinks - only water. There were practically no dishes of local Greek cuisine. In the bar-cafe, some items on the menu were constantly unavailable.
Beach.
The hotel does not have its own beach. The beach is public, with umbrellas with Lipton advertising. The umbrellas shown in the hotel's advertising photos are actually stored in an underground passage on the way to the beach. The entrance to the sea is rocky, without a ramp, and the stairs are not equipped with handrails. The beach is dirty and not adapted for people with disabilities. On a weekend, vacationers were asked to move to another part of the beach, explaining this by the fact that there was a private celebration of local residents. Nearby there is a well-equipped beach with beautiful umbrellas, as in the advertising photos, but its use is paid, and on weekends it is only possible by prior reservation.
Swimming pool.
The pool was almost always filled with local residents with children. Outsiders can enter the hotel territory, so there is no sense of security for guests (there are no bracelets for residents). Large groups of schoolchildren and students arrived almost every day, which made the hotel very noisy.
Theft in the room.
On the seventh day of my stay, I was robbed. The police were called, but they did not draw up a report of the disappearance of the belongings, suggesting that I go to another city and file a complaint on my own. No one even looked at the CCTV footage. The host company, ION TOURS, also refused to help resolve the situation. Instead, the company representatives were more interested in selling excursions, which were not cheap. For example, a sightseeing tour of Athens cost 45 euros per person, while the entrance ticket to the Acropolis (30 euros) was paid separately.
After that, I kept all my valuables in a locked bathroom until the end of my stay, which actually became my “safe”.
It is worth mentioning the tourist tax separately — 10 euros per day, which does not at all correspond to the level of service offered by the hotel.
There is a chapel next to the hotel, and there are icons and candles at the reception. However, unfortunately, I did not feel a friendly attitude towards guests.
The only thing that left pleasant memories was the wonderful view of the sea from the room's balcony, the gentle sun and the beautiful sunrises and sunsets.
Unfortunately, for the money paid, expectations were completely unfulfilled. I will not return to this hotel and cannot recommend it.
