Chryssi Akti, Sure Hotel Collection by Best Western in Batsi

Great Location, Lovely Staff, but Poor Value for Money

I recently stayed at this hotel and had mixed feelings about the experience. The hotel is located in arguably the best spot in the area—convenient, beautiful, and surprisingly lively, even though the island itself wasn’t crowded during that time. The hotel was nearly full, which shows how appealing the location is.

However, despite the excellent location and genuinely kind and helpful staff, the stay left much to be desired. There was a constant feeling that something was missing.

Towels for both the bathroom and the beach were only changed every three days, which felt insufficient, especially based on the room price. Breakfast was average at best, and the atmosphere in the dining area was uncomfortable—staff were in such a rush to clear tables that they often tried to take our plates before we had even finished. Essentials like soap weren’t restocked consistently, the iron was hard to get access to, and there was no running water in the beach shower area.

The pool area was also disappointing—tucked away in a corner, overcrowded with chairs, and generally uninviting. It was almost always empty, which says a lot.

Considering all this, the biggest issue is the price. For what’s being offered in terms of comfort and amenities, the cost per night felt far too high. It's hard to understand how the staff can be so nice, yet the overall guest experience so underwhelming—but unfortunately, that’s exactly how I felt during my stay.

Negative review due to not being allowed to use the sunbeds when eating/drinking. Everywhere else we've been on the islands allow this, disappointed.
