The hotel was really beautiful, breakfast was great very good selection, stuff are really friendly and helpful rooms are very clean, also great location only 3 min walk to the beach and loads of restaurants and shops options and close to bus stations travel to Fira. We had the best time as a family of three.

Hotel isn’t very modern. For guests who stay out of the country, you have to bring your own outlet to charge your things or do your hair (women). Also, the upstairs part of the room (where the bed is) is SUPER HOT! A/c isn’t strong enough. We stayed there 5 days and on night 3, the hot water to shower wasn’t working and everyday we showered, the drain didn’t drain quick enough so I was standing in my own dirty shower water. Had to rinse my feet at the end. Also, free breakfast was mid. The 2 times we had breakfast there, the waiter would forget something that I had ordered and had to remind him again.

The hotel is set on various levels and can feel strange at first the pool and restaurants are over one part with other hotels in between its like a maze. Very helpful friendly staff room was excellent resort is hard to get to unless you walk or use taxis which can be expensive. The island is lacking a good local bus service. 2 miles to fira which is beautiful and a lovely walk along various paths and steps
