This is an excellent 4 star hotel.
Pros:
1.60 meters to the sea, get to the beach through a beautiful garden, which is the only one in Halkidiki in terms of beauty and size.
2) the bus leaves for the nearest towns (Kriopigi, Kallithea (less often)) according to the schedule. The schedule can be obtained from the reception.
if you go out onto the road, you can wait for a thread of a regular bus (1-2 euros).
3) Very nice people work at the hotel.
4) Particularly noteworthy are the bartenders who work in shifts in a mini-bar on the beach, speak English, German and other languages.
5) Rooms are cleaned every day, there are special signs: do not disturb or do not clean. Things are always safe, i. e. we did not use the safes.

6) There is a hair dryer in the bathroom, I read previous reviews about mini-bubbles of 50 mg per person. this is true, but not for the entire period, and if you remove a bubble from the bath, you will definitely be given a new one during cleaning, and if you want towels to be changed, you just need to throw them on the floor. If this is not done, no one will touch your towels. By the way, it’s gorgeous with towels: 1 for the street (pool. Beach), one for the bath, one for the face.
7) sun loungers by the pool are free.
8) food is normal, there is a buffet selection. the first three days they ate to satiety. Then, as in other places, the food begins to pall. BUT attention!! ! who eats at the end of the season, like us (on the 2nd half of September), be prepared for the fact that the hotel will let half of the chefs go, and therefore the food, although there is a lot, is monotonous, although men have nothing to worry about, there is always meat and in different versions. There is also a children's menu, and in general the coolest place to travel with children, there is a playground, an animation room near the playground, where children will play and draw different pictures, and high chairs for children are served in the canteen.
8) There are activities on the beach:
- motorcycles,
- skiing,
- banana.
Everything works until September 25, then everything is taken away.
9) near the pool bar there is a mini-library - a box with books and magazines, there were even Russian detectives.
Minuses:
1) You won’t get to discos on foot . . , the highway has no pedestrian parts.
2) Everything dies by 11 pm.
3) Disco on the basement floor, something akin to amateur performances, bad equipment.
4) The weather in September in Greece is capricious, we arrived on September 19, the first three days it was plus 19, then up to 38 a week later. You never guess. We took excursions on cold days, which are offered to Russians right at the hotel. Be sure to visit Meteora. It’s not worth spending money on an excursion to Athens, it’s a long drive, you won’t see much. Road to exhaustion.
The hotel is going to be updated and made 5 stars, they will build a heated pool on the basement.
