Perhaps this review of the hotel will allow someone to choose a more suitable hotel and relax a little better.
The hotel is positioned at 5 *. Perhaps he received them in 1997 - when he was built. Now I would give him a 3* maximum. The furniture is outdated. The rooms look very "pale". The doors to the toilet creak in almost all rooms, I lived in two rooms and my friends lived in two more, so I describe not only my problems. In the first room in which we were settled, water was flowing from the ceiling in the bathroom. The toilet after draining the water is filled with such noise that not only those who live with you in the room wake up, but also your neighbors. There is no soundproofing in the bathroom when your neighbors go to the toilet or take a shower - it feels like you are doing it yourself.
The air conditioner in the first room had a very interesting remote control - it had two buttons - ON and OFF!!!! ! That is, we could not set the temperature or the fan power. The barrel was at maximum power - sleeping at night under such a stream of cold air is simply dangerous for health !!!! ! Special attention deserves the removal of condensate from the indoor unit - this condensate flows directly to your floor. That is, if you turn on the air conditioner, then get ready for the fact that you will have a puddle on your balcony! The outdoor unit stands right on your balcony and you can hear how it works all night.

Young couples, be prepared for the fact that in this hotel you will be offered to sleep in two beds or move them at most and put two mattresses. It is very uncomfortable. I went with my husband and naturally this option did not suit us. Before leaving, we raised this issue several times - we were promised that such problems would not arise and we would sleep on a normal double bed. And so we arrive at three in the morning at the hotel, and in our room there are two beds with two mattresses !! ! After a big scandal, the room was changed to a smaller one with a standing bath, but with a normal bed!
Another separate remark about the security at the hotel - it is simply absent. And when drunken Germans make a brawl at night - there is no one to calm them down, so you have to hear drunken German screams at night.
The food is generally good and everything is very tasty, but monotonous. After the first week of rest already bored. The service in the restaurant is excellent. The waiters are very friendly. This is a big plus for them. Everyone at the front desk is also very friendly.
The hotel is mostly old Germans and couples with children. Therefore, you need to go there with a company, because there is no animation in the hotel.
the beach is very good - wide, sandy with pebbles, clean. But there weren't enough sun loungers for everyone. We sometimes just lay on towels.
Sun loungers and umbrellas on the beach - free of charge. Towels at the reception for a deposit of 10 euros.
The location of the hotel is not bad - close to the town - 5-7 min. In the town you can buy souvenirs, eat in a cafe, rent a car. BUT
THE HOTEL IS A VERY STRONG STINK!!!!!! ! And in all nearby hotels too. We thought for a long time what could emit such a fetid smell - we came to the conclusion that it was sewage. The stench is so strong that I woke up from it at night. So we had to sleep with the door closed!!!
Cleaning in the room is constant. Change of linen and towels - as needed.
Advice for all tourists in Greece - buy only breakfast from your agencies. We bought HB, and then decided that we needed an all-inclusive - and bought it right at the hotel. And they saved a lot of money in the process. So buy from the hotel - it will be cheaper.
And about the bar - the drinks in the bar are very high quality - wine, martini, cognac - and much more at a high level.
So, dear tourists, you yourself choose and plan your vacation - therefore, I advise you to choose a hotel yourself, and not listen to your tour agency !!!! !
