Could be a lot better
29 Sept 2026
There were some good points and bad points Good points The view from the hotel over looks the bay so is stunningHotel staff very polite and looked after you very wellBig pool with plenty of sunbeds and is lifeguard manned most of the day Plenty of food for breakfast even if it was the same every dayAc is freeThere is a small safe in the wardrobe and it cost 1 euro per day for the keyBad pointsThe hotel is very remote with no supermarket or bus route close byQuite a way to walk into next town which is downhill all the way so uphill coming back and not paved a good bit of the way so dangerous in placesThe bar in the hotel is only used in early and late season so have to use the bar on the beachThe menu was very limited and expensive The hotel itself is a bit dated and needs a good refurbish,our room was small but adequate and unfortunately there was an adjoining door between the next room and us which let cigarette smoke through,so our room stank of smoke most of the time.The lack of a supermarket near by was a real problem as the hotel was charging 2 euros for 1ltr of water when the price was 2.5 euros for 12 ltrs in town,we ended up hiring a car for 8 days so we could get back into town when we wanted and pick up supplies and get around the island ( not that there is much to see)The hotel have lots of German visitors (95% German and 5% British ,Italian and Dutch) and it can get a bit overwhelming when you know your the only English in the restaurant.Breakfast was good but very much the same everyday (scramble eggs was lovely) with fruit ,yogurt cheeses ham bacon,little sausages fried eggs etc.The evening meals were very limited for the first week and got even smaller for the second and expensive compared the the town prices.If the hotel had a small supermarket on site they would make a killing and bring the prices down in the restaurant people would eat more in there (a bigger choice of food would be good to)

Rooms and hoteliers
16 Sept 2026
This is a beautiful location , the rooms are very small, and the picture advertised do not show that the shower is in the same room as beds, the sink is opposite the wardrobes in room , I feel this needs to be shown in adverts , although I enjoyed my stay I would not have booked knowing the situation with the shower, we were also told that after 3 days we would need to change rooms as they had a family coming that needed the adjoining rooms we were in , the hoteliers insisted that we had to move rooms even though we said that would impact on our stay, it wasn't until we got in touch with jet2 and they intervened that we were allowed to stay in the rooms we had booked for our stay

Not great……..
01 Sept 2026
Fabulous location just outside Pythagorio. You do need a taxi at 10 euros each way to the centre though. Beautiful views and peaceful around the pool area usually. Atmosphere in the hotel wasn’t great. Some very rude people and the Manager was particularly ignorant! Other staff were very pleasant. Rooms outdated, but clean. Sheets were reused and stained with sun cream, which was a bit off putting. We did have a sea view, but also a brick wall to our right, which was pretty offensive. Value was ok. Food and drink pricey, particularly the beach bar and restaurant. There are some other lovely accommodation blocks nearby, so maybe give this one a miss!

Lovely location
26 Aug 2026
This hotel is a basic Greek 2* so you sort of know what you’re getting. Hotel is dated but it’s very clean, bedding and towels changed regularly. Air con was great. Shower is in the corner of the bathroom with a curtain around but we didn’t have any problems with flooding. Pool area quiet and beds available anytime of the day. Beach and grassed area sunbeds are €10 per set. Beach restaurant is very good which excellent choice of food and the girls were brilliant. Beach is pebbly and sea is beautiful although bit chilly. Breakfast is ok but if you’re used to big buffet breakfasts then it’s not for you. We really enjoyed our stay here and would return. Taxi is needed to get to Pythagoria. Just be aware that there is nothing around the hotel, not even a supermarket.

Fabulous
26 Jul 2026
Absolutely loved this place a perfect fly and flop. The view is fabulous. A seaview from every room, priceless. The hotel spotlessly clean, room cleaned every day and fresh towels and bedding! (The hotel is 2 star so the bathrooms are small and so are the rooms) The staff were friendly. We were half board and it was fresh buffet style. We took one taxi trip to Pythagoria, did the museum (excellent) And had lunch over looking the harbour. Otherwise we spent our days either by the beach (10€) for two padded sunbeds for the day, pool free. If you are not staying for a week half board, you need taxi money 20€ (10 each way) to Pythagoria if not eating at the hotel. The petrol station at the top of the road sold water and snacks, reasonably priced. There are steps down to pool and sea and it's up hill to the petrol station so no good if you have mobility issues which are affected by that. I would stay here again as nothing I have been looking at ticks my boxes for the price!! Seaview!!!
