"The rooms are large and well kept. They are a bit tired but this didn't affect anything. Pool area is nice and there are always sunbeds available. Near the beach, tavernas and supermarkets. Gouves centre is a 20-minute walk away where there are many more tavernas, shops and a bigger beach with watersports. Check-in was ok but we arrived tired (evening) and were given several rules about the property which felt like a lecture before we'd even had chance to check in, pay and feel settled. Air...

"Nice hotel, well maintained despite dated rooms. Understand it's all inclusive if you have that option but charging extortionate prices to push people into going all-inclusive (15 EUR for all mixed drinks) is a bit much. Felt like the complimentary bottle of wine was lacklustre and a bit cheap for it was as it was only a half bottle with served with two walnuts and some peanuts. Same with the hotel only leaving a generic Birthday card in the room was really minimal effort that it may as well have not been done. Kind staff though and decent food on-site."
