We spent one week here 19-27th of August. We found it here on Tripadvisor and decided to give it a shot although the beach didn't seem that good. We have no regrets. It was an all through delightful stay.
We choose to pay a little extra to live in the junior suites with private sunbeds and part in a private pool. The room was spatious and very clean, with satellite TV and air-con. There was also a small fridge. The safe was 20 euros for a week. Bathroom was clean with both shower and bathtub.
The food was excellent, and the variety was quite enough for a week. At lunch and dinner there were at least 3 dishes to choose from, and a truckload of small dishes, sallads and desserts. Breakfast buffé was also very good.
The staff were helpful and serviceminded, but at certain times very busy. They did a heck of a job!
On the minus side, we would love to have had the opportunity to try even more traditional Greek dishes. No souvlaki or deepfried cheese for instance.
The private pool was great. More signs to keep unauthorized people out would be nice. The main poolarea was good, and the pool bar was busy most of the time.
The beach consisted of smooth rocks, so bathing shoes were essential. There were big waves all week so it was red flag most of the time.
The stay was so good, we hardly left the hotel at all. That should be a good recommendation if any!
