Reviews
All in all super happy about our stay.
There is many things this hotel can improve.
First of all this is rated as a Apollo Mondo selected hotel which stand for good standard, service and location.
Location of the hotel was fantastic and scored full pot, but..
Most of the hotel staff in reception was not service minded at all, they seems like they had a bad day at work, everyday.
When arrived first day we did not feel a warm welcome,neither did we got any information of our staying other than a pice of A4 paper.
We had the double room with pool view in section 9.
The room itself was of good standard, 2 ballcoons and was ok furnished with a small kitchen, but missed shelfs and hooks on wall to hang clothes on.
The main bed and pillow was good, but personally I dont like the shared duvet.
The kid beds was 2 couches put together, these could be alittle softer according to them.
A big minus was they did not change the bed sheet on any days during our 14day stay.
Bathroom was small and there was not any shelfs to put bathroom belongings.
The shower did not have any pressure at all and the selecting of overhead or showerhead did not work properly.
Another big minus for us who liked our morning workout, there is no warm water in the morning.
Shower towels only replace 2times a week, but after notifying reception we got new every room cleaning.
Need to be early in the morning to get sunbeds.
Poolarea is ok, but very dirty pools. Did not see any one take samples of pool or any other confirmation it was ok.
It is not allowed to bring own drink/snacks to pool area.
Pool bar is a bit overpriced and waiters have not control over your order as they often came with wrong / not our food.
Early morning breakfast including light snacks, coffee and fruit did not excist even this was informed to us.
It is not allowed to bring coffee to the sunbeds, my wife got chased down by one of the waiter that came after her to inform her.
Resturant had good food with a varying of varm and cold food.
A plus was the staff did set tables for all 17 in our family group every night.
Gym area had worn equipment and did not look as the picture on their website at all.
Kids room did not excist, even they have picture of it on the website.
They have built this room to arcade room where everything cost.
We will miss the location and some of the staff.
But this hotels lacks alot on the service side that give this score.
The hotel is very clean, architecture is nice and we had a 2 room ground floor apartment with a terrace to the pool area and evening sun. Good and free sun beds both at the pool at the beach (if you buy from the bar which is easy)
The restaurant has a good variation of easier snacks, excellent pizza and burritos and good dinner dishes.
The tuna fillet was amazing and also the souvlaki.
The beach outside the hotel is nice but would be even better if there was sand since the small rocks get really hot. The ocean bottom is fine sand and it gets a deep fast but remain at approximately 3-4 far out.
Recommended!
The general manager we presumed walk around and having meeting with the head chef and previously mentioned bar manager. And for me seemed like the hotel is under micro management with how the GM is wallimg around Which is a shame. It has a lot of potentiel to be one of the best.
The cleaning staff was working hard in the heat. We hope they take good care of them. The housekeeping manager ones said hello to us and seemed to help the staff.
The rooms are fine small but good with no major mallfunction. The kitchen could use an upgrade. But for os had what we needed.
We had a great holiday in the hotel the sun was shining and we explored the area cusine but we found platanias a bit too touristed. And will not come back but due to the hotel.
The employees seemed a bit overworked, but absolutely did their best. My room looked a bit worn down, but you could see that they had tried to clean it even though there were limits to what thy could do. (Yellow spots on the lampshades, bugs living under the sink in the bathroom, worn shelves with interesting brown spots). I had room 503 on the ground floor, and my friends on a higher floor did not have bugs.
Even though we enjoyed our stay I would probably not book this hotel again until they renovate it. However, the location and the food in the restaurant was excellent. I also loved to see that the guests and staff put out water and food for the stray cats.
