Hotel ratings by criteria:
Was in June 2008. The hotel is conveniently located, close to the sea and bus stop. The rooms are clean, comfortable, a single room is spacious compared to the usual 3 stars. There are, however, many minor inconveniences: a too small safe (only for documents), in the shower there are only tiny bars of poor quality soap, the toilet seats do not hold at all : -)
No entertainment in the hotel, 80's music plays but ends quite early, which is convenient for those who want to sleep. Table tennis for an additional fee, and terrible rackets. True, I managed to play with the organizer of local events with his racket (here it is the hospitality of the Greeks ): -)
There is no first aid - stock up at home (I was told at the reception that they do not have any pills or patches), and pharmacies are expensive.
At the entrance to the room there are a lot of minor breakdowns, which take time to fix, because they have a lot of work at the hotel, and the Greeks, in principle, are in no hurry.

The staff is very friendly! Both the girls at the reception and the guys at the bar are all very sociable, but not intrusive, they will clearly explain the way. I even managed to take a Greek lesson : -)
The staff has no problems with English, some speak Russian.
The pool is too small for so many people, but the sea is close at hand.
The Greeks care about saving energy, so you can’t leave the room with the lights or air conditioning on. Air conditioning for an additional and considerable fee, but the first day is free, and then you get used to it.
Food for a solid 4 - those who were in 5 stars will seem terrible, those who have been at least once a pioneer. wonderful camp.
The choice is large, but everything is repeated. The chef does occasionally serve leftovers from breakfast or yesterday's dinner for lunch or dinner, but it is cleverly arranged - overcooked and served in a different way, no stomach complaints! : -) It would be strange to expect such a colossal release of products from 3 stars, especially since they know how to cook and they don’t fool people, they just seem to save money wisely : -) (not to be confused with the attitude to public catering in the city - I recommend a strict attitude to quality there food because the prices are exorbitant everywhere)
Sweet for an amateur - very high-calorie and fatty.
All in all, a solid four. The biggest plus is the courtesy of the staff, cleanliness and order, the minuses are still a lot of minor household inconveniences.
