We stayed there for 2 days, the room is ok, the breakfast is impressive, the lunch and dinner food although with great variety is not excellent, the main disadvantage of the hotel I would say. One would expect more and especially for a long stay...The beach is amazing, the service is of good level. Nice pools mainly for the children, nice gym center with new equipment. The main building does need some improvements. One disadvantage is that you have to wake up at 10 am with "goodmorning songs", even if you don't want to wake up...There is noise in general from other guests but also from the staff.

The hotel needs renovation, especcially the rooms and the restaurant. The gathering for the dinner and lunch reminds me of being in the army, 600 people eating all together. I'm bored of the food almost from my first day being there. Also, there was an entertainment program playing loud music at the outdoor bar, from 22.00 until midnight. If you have small kids (and everybody there have) you can understand how difficult is it to make them fall asleep.
On the other side, the beach is excellent, the swimming pools are adequate for fun and the hotel has a lot of sport facilities, but who does sports when he is on holidays.

In conclusion, I think that the hotel does not worth the price (220 € per day, food inclusive).

I there stayed for a week in August 2009 with ageing parents.

The beach is terrific. One km of fine sand, outside as well as inside the sea. But if this uniformity bores you and prefer coves, pebbles, sea life (flora/fauna), this beach isn't for you. (By the way, the beach is 11km long, there are at least a couple more resorts further south, I think).

The hotel grounds are terrific. The activities are varied, and very good to excellent (not necessarily up to par with some Club Med's, from what I hear, but close). There is no other place in Greece with 16 top notch clay tennis courts, and no other hotel (except club Med) in Greece offering, for example, archery as far as I know. Water sports were also very well equipped and very professionally staffed. The food was definitely better than average: Good quality first ingredients (many veggies grown in the hotel farm), and usually very good cooking (there were a few misses). The restaurants were pretty nice -- great if one gets an outside table with a view of the sea.
The sports, spa, bar and restaurant staff were very very nice -- the non-Greek members being a bit more professional, courteous, knowledgeable and helpful than the Greek staff.

The rooms were adequate but not great. We stayed in the center building, in sea view rooms. They were quiet, with a very nice view, very clean, with comfortable beds, cable TV, but in general they're quite basic in their appointment. The bathrooms showed the building's age. In other words, it's not a room you want to spend more time than necessary in -- but you definitely get a good night's sleep (listening to the waves splashing on the beach, if you want), If room comes first, this is not the hotel for you.

For the price, I think if the rooms were more plush and luxurious, something else would suffer -- it was a great balance for us.

We stayed in this hotel for 3 nights. It needs rennovation and the food was awful...

The building is absolutely old and our room as well. It was small, has just the basics and smelled mould; our bathroom also had a strong urine smell. Sheets and towels were worn. The cleaners simply did nothing, I bought myself a detergent and had to clean it myself!

This hotel actually forced us to pay full-board. There was no choice for us. So even though the room itself cost 70 Euros which is understandable for its condition, we had to pay 3 times this much, because meals were included in the price.... The restaurant was open for many hours a day and the variety of food was rich. But the quality.....was awful. Their oil smelled bad and we both had nausea throughout the day and did not recover but after many days after we returned home....

This hotel has one big advantage: it is situated on a very nice and long beach. Also, it has many organised activities thoughout the day, sports, spa, entertainment. Finally, it is surrounded by a beautiful garden and there are many spots to sit down and relax. Its pool areas are also nice. This is a hotel which was made for people who want to stay in and spend their vacation in a hotel that provides for them everything.

So it is really a pity we could not enjoy ourselves as we should....because in my opinion, the room and the food comes first and all the rest (activities, pools etc) second....This could become a perfect hotel if the did a serious rennovation AND if they used better ingredients in their meals. All it left to us was just a bad taste....

PS just an advice, if you choose this hotel do not stay in a sea-view room, as it looks over the main pool area and there are activities there all day long, and until 24.00...so in case you need to sleep in the middle, choose a garden view instead.
