Lovely hotel! The staff are wonderful, the rooms are clean, and the location is great. Very close to town Center and the very popular, Voulisma Beach. Hotel beach was good too but it is a pebble beach. Sandy beach is a 5-10min walk away.

Nice hotel, a little outdated. Rooms are very dark with limited view. Kitchenettes are lacking basic equipment to make them useable. That being said- the staff are very friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere is great!
