We chose this hotel based on the description and price, respectively. However, having arrived at Fr. Rhodes, already upset. According to the description, the distance from the airport to the hotel is 55 km, in fact it is more. We drove to the hotel for more than two hours, because along the way we transported the rest of the tourists who chose hotels closer to the airport. The hotel is located on the very outskirts of the village of Kiotari. There is no life near the hotel, there was one tavern opposite, but expensive, there was a supermarket 800 meters along the highway, and they were saved. Since this hotel does not have an All Inclusive food system, they, as they themselves came up with Light All Inclusive, that is, breakfast, lunch and dinner as it should be according to the schedule, but in between these meals you will not have a snack or drink, everything at the bar by the pool for money, only from 16:00 to 17:00. pour tea, coffee and give cupcakes, but not the fact that you will get something. Alcoholic drinks (beer and wine) only during lunch and dinner in the dining room. Everything else is for money at the bar. You can only drink water for free. The menu is of course meager, but this is probably the case in all of Greece. Every day there was pasta and potatoes, no soups, no porridge, so it’s problematic to feed the children. There is no mini-club, i. e. it is, but they said that it works seasonally, we still didn’t understand which one? There is no children's pool, there is a section in the common pool for children. The playground consists of three rope swings. Air conditioning is paid - 8 euros per day, this is not indicated in the description. True, we had a room in the administrative building and our air conditioner was on the machine, it worked without a remote control, and the principle took the remote control from them - pay the money. People from the rooms located on the first floor complained about large cockroaches, we saw them in the toilet, near the bar where the pool is, a terrible sight. There is no fridge in the room, no TV either, but we didn't need a telly. But there are several pluses to this hotel. This is the distance to the sea (certainly not 80 meters as in the description), but 150 meters, and in a straight line. Basically, all the hotels in Greece are located at a distance of about 1000 from the sea, and also on the hills. There is also wi-fi, works well near the reception. Well, if you want to relax in a quiet, peaceful place, then this hotel will suit you, because it is very small.
