In more detail, this is a small hotel with about 50 rooms. A three-story building, located with the letter P. Half of the rooms face the inside of the territory, the second half faces the sea. But for most of these rooms, the sea view is blocked by an abandoned building next to the hotel. On the territory there is a swimming pool, deep enough, a good playground, a bar, a football field. In general, the territory, although small, is well-groomed and green.
On food: the choice is not great, but the food is very tasty, homemade. Perhaps, in 14 days of rest, I can’t remember that something was tasteless or unappetizing-looking. According to the all-inclusive system, drinks are free until 22-30 in the bar. The bar even makes free frappe coffee. Tea/coffee from the coffee machine and ice cream are available throughout the day.
The rooms are almost Spartan. Whitewashed walls, old furniture painted in traditional blue-gray. Shower room with a short curtain, old plumbing. Soap is available, but other shampoos and gels must be brought with you. There is a refrigerator and TV with Russian channels. Air conditioning in the room for an extra charge of 8 euros / day.

Around the hotel there is a private sector with olive trees, in some places you can see the caring hand of the owner, in some places the view is abandoned. An asphalt road leads to the sea, it takes about 7 minutes to walk. The beach is magnificent. Long, offhand 5 kilometers. The coastal zone is not developed in terms of infrastructure, so there are practically no people here. True, the Greeks come by car for the weekend, then the number of vacationers on the beach increases dramatically) Sunset is small pebbles, you can do without slippers. The depth is gained quickly enough, you sail about 5 meters from the shore and your feet no longer reach the bottom. The water is so clear that even at depth you can see the bottom perfectly.
Special words deserve the hotel staff. The hotel is small, there are few staff and the owners Paraskevi and Dimitris themselves are spinning all day. They work in a restaurant, serve in a bar, work at the reception and in a mini-market. And all the time with a friendly smile. The requests of the guests are not left without attention, they try to make the stay in their hotel cozy and comfortable for everyone.
In terms of entertainment, everything is quite limited. There is no animation on the territory of the hotel, bars and clubs cannot be found within walking distance. There are several taverns on the coast, you can ride a train to the village of Afandou for 1.70 euros. That, in fact, is all leisure. To get acquainted with the island, we used the services of the tour operator Mouzenidis. We went to the survey around the island for a full day and the cities of Rhodes-Lindos. Both trips were very enjoyable. Both times we went with a guide Michael. An amazing storyteller with a great sense of humor, deep knowledge and the ability to communicate with people. We also took a car twice for a day, on the advice of our guide at the hotel we drove through the bays and nature reserves, tried the local cuisine in the villages. They also enjoyed a lot.
Aella is an example of a cozy family treshka with a beautiful sea. Suitable for those who are tired of the bustle of city dwellers, for an economical vacation.
