Such a pleasure to write about the Sandy Beach Hotel, to which we have been returning year after year! A hotel full of lovely, airy spaces, magnificent sea views, comfortable seating indoors and outdoors - and spectacular transitions between the two, immediate access to a lovely beach as well as too excellent pools, splendid breakfast with very wide choice (including fresh food and various cooked things), and a high level of cleanliness. But it is above all a very friendly place, and I cannot praise the staff highly enough for this - undoubtedly the greatest asset of the hotel, which I would rate even higher than the physical comforts and magnificent location! From the hotel owner to the ladies who clean the rooms, the courtesy, consideration and warmth of demeanour displayed by one and all is so precious, and makes one feel very much at home. It is invidious to mention names, as I cannot remember all the names of the members of staff, but I simply have to mention Christina (whom I always look forward to seeing year after year, and who is tireless in her efforts to make sure that every guest is settling in well), Stella, Varvara, Christophoros, Elsa and others. Thank you for contributing to the lovely vibes of the place, and for helping make our stay such an enjoyable one! Some of my photos are from the traditional wine-tasting evening, held at the hotel once a week, where local produce of high quality and refreshments are tasted, all with the compliments of the hotel - and an excellent way of breaking the ice, allowing guests from many different parts of the world to chat together.
