Chic but expensive *
Enlarge letters A A Downsize letters A ALarge complex with its own pool and beach. overall very clean and tidy, breakfast buffet is generous with a lot of fresh or freshly prepared (fruit, fruit salad, baked pastries). Nevertheless, we wouldn't recommend it, because the walls bungalows are extremely bad insulation. During our stay (September) there were very many Russian guests. Additional services (dinner, pool bar, room service) are overpriced and the quality is not the price levels (see gastronomy).
Location
As well as: We were looking for rest and relaxation. The hotel was located very remote, far and wide there is (as good as) nothing else. We spent 10 days beach with a day of sightseeing bus runs to Athens (1.5 hours one-way) and have tons of books convoluted. However, we could have stayed almost at the end of a cabin fever sets ... There are only two typical Greek tavernas (it took 20 minutes on foot) in the immediate vicinity, a small hotel kiosk is at the complex.
The staff is very friendly and the service in the restaurant, pool and front desk very courteous and international (English speaking anyway, partly also German channels).
Gastronomy
Breakfast buffet: very extensive, fresh, varied restaurant: There are 3 dining options: A la carte, buffet, and Asian restaurant. The rates are totally overpriced and didn't match the quality offered. The evening buffet costs 55.00 EUR per person, with different meat (chicken, beef, pork), pasta, and very good desserts. A la carte rates: 18.00 Euro for a salad, meat to the 30.00 Euro, dessert (fruit platter! ) : 18.00 Euro. Pool bar is very nice and comfortable, but also here are the high prices (24.00 euro for 3 meat skewers) not the offered quality. You are eating usually ate outside, with fantastic views.
Sport & Entertainment
Depending on what you want: just as we were no entertainment by the pool and be expected in a hotel of this category also no entertainment. We didn't like that the pool with loud music. On our request was also not change, even if we were in the only guests in the bar or lounge area.
Room
Bad reviews, as the soundproofing to the neighboring rooms disastrous. You can understand in room speakers-spoken entertainment, as well as some noise from your neighbors, you would not want to hear so if you go to bed and its neighbors is you. An absolute no-go for a hotel in this category. This can actually beautiful room decor not awfulness of the hotel. We were lucky that we had only 2 days neighbors! Otherwise it would be a real Abreisegrund for me. Also the picture windows have suffered from one major drawback: as soon as you evening light is turned on, you sat in the their window. either surveying the blinds down (and has nothing more by the beautiful view) or you can a cold, that all dreinschauen.
Tips and recommendations
rental car before you start your holiday with-book. If you want to rent a car from the hotel is an afterthought, pay due to the location in addition 70.00 euros for the "drop" the car rental. The was worth it not when you just want to do day trips. Daily water or Getränkebedarf and small snacks (for the beach) get the best from the kiosk.
