The charges for basic amenities at this hotel are a sad joke! Want a beach bed? Pay 15 euro. want A beach towel? Deposit 10 euro And pay 1 euro for a fresh one if needed. Want to use the safe in the room? Pay 3 euros. No bath tub in the rooms, only a walk-in shower. changing bed sheets every 3 days.. poor selection and quality of food. "All inclusive"? Not really. How can a hotel with "beach" in its name charge his all inclusive guests for beach beds and towels??? 2 Tiny small pools for the entire hotel. The water park seems fun but was closed during our stay (April, opens on may) the staff in the kids club was great with the kids, In two words - stay away.

Lovely hotel with friendly staff a couple of things that let it down are it’s not anti smoking and people are even smoking around the kids pools/ areas, also there are no lifeguards/ staff around the pools, witnessed a few accidents on the slides as there was moons there directing people when to go down.

From the moment we arrived, we were not greeted kindly. The reception staff were rude and clearly unhappy to be there. They didn’t inform us about the hotel facilities or anything else. The room itself was lovely: spacious, very clean, and with a nice balcony offering a beach view. Housekeeping kept everything tidy during our stay, which we appreciated. The hotel is not advertised as mostly family-oriented, yet it was full of babies and small children, possibly 90% of the clients had children. Many parents didn’t teach their kids any discipline, so we were constantly disturbed. There's constantly children bumping into you. Hotel staff did nothing while kids ran and played loudly in the cafeteria. It was also impossible to relax at the pools or the beach due to all the shouting and noise. We stayed in early May, before high season, yet the sunbeds around both pools were already full. People would leave their towels on chairs for hours, and the hotel didn’t enforce any rules. The beach area was narrow and crowded, and you have to pay extra for sunbeds — something that was never mentioned in advance. This is usually included in the all inclusive package, not here. The all-inclusive offer was very disappointing. If you want a freshly mixed cocktail, you'll have to pay for it. The buffet was repetitive and bland. During the day, snacks consisted of some apples, some tomato and cucumber slices, and dry cheese sandwiches. The ice cream is only available for one hour a day. Compared to other all-inclusive hotels, this was extremely limited. In short: aside from the room itself, this stay was not enjoyable. We won’t be coming back.

Arriving early hours of the morning the reception staff obviously did not want to be there they were not welcoming at all unlike all Greek hotels we have been to and we have been to many !! The girls in reception in the day were lovely and extremely helpful so thank you. If you are looking for a relaxing holiday then do not choose this hotel it totally caters for families with young children and not only not enough sun beds they are crammed together. There should be three pools for size of the hotel one for adults only so they can relax instead of listening to spoilt children cry and scream. The rooms are weirdly set out with a sink as you enter so when going to the toilet you have to come out of the bathroom to wash your hands 🤔 how can this be hygienic?? The hotel restaurant manager did a very good job of organising tables for the size of hotel as most people decided to eat breakfast at same time so well done to him. Lastly why on earth do they put older people in higher floor rooms with no lifts and marble winding stairs extremely dangerous when wet and right next door to amphitheatre where entertainment took place every night ? Surely it would be better to put families in these rooms as they use that facility? I think this hotel needs to rethink or state it’s just catering for families!

Good: great food, friendly waiters and reception staff Bad: sheets not changed on arrival. Poor house keeping. 15€ a day for 2 sunbeds is too much on the all inclusive hotel beach. Other beaches were cheaper. No space if you didn't want the sunbed.
