Very clean, nice and pleasant hotel.
Polite and attentive staff.
Delicious food and a beautiful beach with a convenient entrance to the sea. What we expected from the place and the hotel - we got.
The hotel has a small swimming pool (it has access from three rooms on the ground floor, you can swim if none of the guests of these rooms swim there)))). It's especially cool there at night.
Despite the fact that the check-in should be at 14, we were settled at 9 in the morning, so we were able to have breakfast. Many thanks to the lovely lady at the front desk for this.

However, there were several unpleasant moments that spoiled the "wow effect" of our stay and sometimes even spoiled our mood:
1. Still, the hotel is not on the first line. In front of the hotel there is a small overgrown wasteland, here it has the first line. The sea view will be very lateral. That is, in order to see it, one must specifically lean out over the railing of the balcony.
2.

You will eat at the nearby Glaros Hotel, across the street. The food is very varied and tasty. But in the breakfast-dinner system, there are no drinks at all at dinner, which we were not warned about. Cola 2.5 euros, "homemade" wine 3.5 euros (don't take it, it tastes like the cheapest boxed Russian one).
3. When checking in (and buying a tour too), we were told that we could go once without an extra charge to the a la carte restaurant at the Glaros hotel (Veranda restaurant). In fact, it turned out that everything is different: if you refuse dinner at the Glaros hotel, we get a 25% discount on food in the check. Also unpleasant.
4. The most unpleasant situation: Upon check-in, we were presented with certificates for 15 minutes of massage in the spa center at the Anastasia Beach Hotel. There, a Russian-speaking girl began to impose a paid massage on us.
Let me explain the scheme: she opened a booklet with a million types of all sorts of massages and says - here are 15 minutes of this massage + 10 of this and your 15 according to the certificate for free - this is 50 (for example) euros.
And so for 10 minutes she took us for stupid. I made it clear that I was not going to take a paid massage now: I don’t know what level of massage you have. I want to try, and then decide whether to take a paid one. She immediately drooped: she says ok, neck, back or face, choose. I say back. Here some foreigner descends, it is clear that he is ready to pay money for services. She flew to him like a bullet at the reception, left us. We got up and left. She caught up with us on the stairs and "oh, well, where are you going. " I say communicate here with the person. We don't bother you. She "oh well, let's close it. " She didn’t even apologize, but she has the effect of an unfinished action. In short, we didn’t go down there and threw away these gifts) It would be better if they didn’t give anything)
5. The lack of a public shower at Anastasia Beach is an inconvenience, despite the fact that the hotel has a gym. If you have a late flight and you check-out at 12-6 pm at the nearby Glaros hotel, you can take a shower.
Later - only from the shower on the beach.

I hope the hotel management will pay attention to these shortcomings, which did not allow their guests to give them the highest rating.
