We only stayed the hotel for one night. It’s a beach front property offering dinner and breakfast. Not the best food, but served our needs.

I thought that this was a great place to stay while we explored the area. There was secure parking, great food and close access to the beach. It was an excellent value.

Pleasant
A little more remote than expected with few walkable dining options, the hotel was pleasant and staff friendly and courteous. Rooms were clean and decently appointed. Bed a bit soft for my personal taste. Low point was breakfast with plant milks not offered though maybe you had to ask. Bakery products were underwhelming and eggs not cooked fresh unless maybe you had to ask.

Very friendly staff at the hotel's breakfast room/restaurant. Owners were on site, being very discreet but overseeing things. Great location right on the sea, tranquil surroundings and amazing views. Beach on the front of the hotel has stones. There is also a sandy beach at Tolo within a 10min drive.

Great place to stay
The location on the beach was fantastic. All the facilities were as good or better than described. Free breakfast was amazing, and so was the dinner and reasonably priced as well. Swimming pool was clean and a good temp. With an on-site guard as well. All the personal very warm and friendly. It was overall a very nice experience.

Συνολικά μέτριο
Το προσωπικό ήταν πολύ ευγενικό και το δωμάτιο ήταν αρκετά καθαρό και όμορφο. Δυστυχώς όμως, η τουαλέτα ήταν εντελώς διαφορετική απ’ ότι στις φωτογραφίες (δεν ήταν ανακαινισμένη και το μπάνιο δεν ήταν πολύ καθαρό). Επίσης, μας έδωσαν 2 μονά κρεβάτια που δεν ήταν καθόλου άνετα ή σταθερά και ανοίγανε συνέχεια στο ενδιάμεσο με αποτέλεσμα να χωρίζονται. Τέλος, δεν είχε αρκετό parking για όλους τους επισκέπτες και το βράδυ αναγκαστήκαμε να αφήσουμε το αυτοκίνητο στον δρόμο έξω από το χώρο του ξενοδοχείου (όπως εμείς και πολλά άλλα αυτοκίνητα).

Good hotel very clean and well maintained even if bathroom would need refurbishment as well as other details such as the fridge of one room not working, one electric plug. We mentioned it to reception but haven’t heard anything back. Most of the staff is nice and friendly but some of them should be learnt to smile and how to speak to guests . May be they don’t speak English but that totally acceptable as far as they smile and tell it instead of not answering your question. Nice beach right in front of the hotel with umbrellas and mats. Nice pool. Very good snacks at the bar with pleasant waiters.

Nice little hotel with clean rooms and good beds/mattresses. Nice staff, decent beach, good quality/price rapport. The only negative is the breakfast which is very poor, and except for the fresh orange juice , nothing is of good quality. But overall, it was a good experience and we will go back surely.

Hotel by the beach.
Hotel was very good although we only had it on a B and B basis not all inclusive. It was situated by the beach but Drepano is not in Nafplio. We had a car so we could drive in there. Insulation between rooms could have been better as we could hear talking.

Need work
Run down and nothing works. Toilet flusher button did not work, had to lift top and push from within. Fridge did not work at all, aircon takes 3 hours to reach a cool temperature. If you left the room or opened balcony door aircon turned off and the process starts again. Was gifted free dinner for our troubles. Tasteless. Pool was not clean. Only good thing was the location to beach, literally 20 meters.

Response from Kelly on 12 Aug 2019
Thank you for choosing our hotel for your stay. Unfortunately during your arrival you have experienced inconveniences (toilet flusher and mini-bar) and we are very sorry for that fact. As you may check from other reviews "rundown" is not the image that our hotel normally offers. Your stay way during the heat wave so yes temperature in our area was extremely high, but the air condition stops working if you open the balcony door or if you leave the room for environmental reasons. As we have 140 rooms we try to be as "green" as possible and energy saving is one of our primary ways. On our defense we tried to fix the issues that occurred and not to move you to an other room as you had a nice room situated on the 3rd floor. This same room the following day was occupied by on other guest with all the issues fixed, I am mentioning this because "rundown" is really not something that characterize us. Regarding dinner ,that we offered to please you in some way, we value your opinion but as ,again, you may check in all available reviews on--line our food is something that we all well-rated for. All of the above are not an excuse for the issues that you had during your stay but the standard condition of our hotel. Again we are very sorry for the inconvenience and we hope to see you in the future and change your opinion.

Lovely hotel
Lovely hotel on the beach with good pool area with towels provided and food and drinks available at the poolside. Very clean and comfortable. We only ate breakfast there but great buffet selection with cold and hot choices. Large room with decent bathroom and recently renovated with private balcony with lovely dual aspect sea and pool view. Some people might find it a little hard to find but we managed it fine. A few other bars and restaurants along the beach front some open and some getting ready for the summer season so quiet at this time of year. Nearby Nafplion is absolutely beautiful but difficult to park so staying here was perfect with its own car park. Overall excellent value for money and the staff couldn’t be more friendly and helpful. So relaxing we booked an extra night!

Great location, right on the beach. The road into the beach is tricky but once you find the beach, the hotel is easy to get to. The hotel is bright and pleasant (except for the drab hallways) - rooms and lobby area have been recently refurbished with trendy furniture and comfortable beds. Good breakfast. Nice pool.

Wonderful seaside hotel
The hotel staff were gracious and helpful, even when mutliple tourists were rudely attempting to get attention quickly. The breakfast was excellent with a wide range of options to choose from. The room was clean and adequate space, and the beds were comfortable. The bathroom was adequate, with a hairdryer better than most. And the additional courtesies (fruit in the room, bottle of wine, oregano at check out) made us feel like we were well looked after.

Basic sea front hotel. Difficult to find
We chose this as it was close to Nafplio.It is very basic. The beach is shingle and very unappealing. The breakfast was basic and lacked variety. We really struggled to find it as its on an un-named road in the middle of no where. We couldn't find it on our Sat nav. I wouldn't choose to stay there again.
