3star...wouldn't return
Air-conditioning didnt work either in room or in restaurant sat having dinner and sweat would be running down your face. Had to pay for certain cocktails even though we were all inclusive...food wasnt the best very repetitive. Only thing that saved it for us was the gyros and the pizza at lunch. Not much around the outside of hotel at all...very secluded area with waste ground.

Lovely relaxing holiday
We went as 2 couples & 2 boys (16) had a lovely relaxing holiday
Rooms - beds comfy, adequate storage Slight damp smell in the bathroom that went after being in there There is nowhere to hang wet swimwear unless over the balcony (takes some pegs it can get windy)
Food - there was different food everyday to choose from. No one went hungry. Lunchtime we had the pizza & gyros 🙂
Entertainment - Rio is great fun & knows who to have banter with & who not to. There are 2 pools we only used one, there were always beds available, most were gone by 9ish. Slides are good fun. Lazy river is very lazy but great for relaxing
The evening entertainment isn’t great we only watched the Greek night & played bingo. Bring a pack of cards / uno for the evening.
Location - it is a 10 min walk to the beach & supermarket. We found the price in the hotel supermarket to be better.
There is a bus stop outside the hotel you can get the bus to most places. We did lindos & it was €2 each.
Pefkos is 10 min taxi or bus and is a nice place to visit for a night out & a meal if you fancy a change
Mini golf is 14 minute walk up the road this was €9 each for 18 holes. Some are harder than you think
Overall we had a lovely relaxing holiday, it was clean, the food & drink were good.

Fabulous hotel!
Just returned from a family holiday and we all absolutely loved it! The hotel itself is modern and clean and one of the things we loved most about it was the splash park. We spent most of our days at the splash park and there was never any issue getting sunbeds. The staff in the hotel are incredibly hard working and could not have been nicer. We found the people on reception to be friendly and approachable. The staff in the restaurant were all warm and welcoming, particularly Art Jon and his high fives! For us, the food in the restaurant was the best of any hotel we have been in. We usually go all inclusive and I'm vegetarian - for me the food was outstanding - really fresh and healthy with plenty of choice. I actually really miss the food now I'm back home. With regards to entertainment, Rio we think his name was, was fantastic and perfectly suited to his role - so kind and funny, creating an inclusive atmosphere. We had a really good laugh at the entertainment a few of the nights and this was due to Rio and his energy and enthusiasm. We do think the hotel needs to invest in a proper karaoke system though as the laptop used cut a few times mid-song! If you are looking for a great family holiday with fab food, lovely pools and kind staff you will absolutely love it here.
Enjoyable Family Week Away
Check-in was easy & stress free.
Room (537) was ok but very basic although adequate for a week away. That said, the room & bathroom needs a refurb/update on with many things either broke or very old - Like our room, the Family Block in general was outdated & need a of major update!
Food (breakfast, lunch & dinner) was very basic & disappointing. We found it be very repetitive after just a couple of days.
Snacks bars though were delicious & offered fresh & hot food between 10am - 6pm everyday. The service at Papa Pita & Mama Pizza was excellent. Both servers were very friendly.
Socrates Bar was good with staff very friendly. A big shoutout to the barman (can’t remember his name) who was especially good & even entertained the kids. He even went out his way to get a cake & sparklers for my son as the clock struck midnight for his birthday, which was a lovely gesture from him.
Wi-Fi, I found to be very good & you could connect anywhere in the hotel, including the water park.
Location wise, whilst the scenery is ok, you are quite a bit away from any bars, restaurants & shops, so if you’ll looking to get out of the hotel, a bus or taxi is needed.
Overall, I think the 3-star plus rating on this hotel is correct as there’s a lot things that need to be changed/updated although there’s a lot of potential with this hotel & with some adjustments & tweaks, it could easily be a 4 or even 4 star plus hotel.

I fell in love with your hotel with all my heart. We are heading home, but we leave a piece of our hearts with you. Unti
We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The food was delicious with a great variety every day. The pools and the water park were fantastic, but the best part of our holiday was definitely the animation team.
The Kids Club was amazing. You can leave your child there with complete peace of mind, knowing they will be well looked after. The animators spend time drawing, dancing, singing, and playing with the children. My child absolutely loved it and was always excited to go back.
A special thank you to Karolina. She is incredibly kind, friendly, and caring. You can truly see how much she loves working with children, and she made our holiday even more special.
I highly recommend this hotel to everyone, especially families with children. We would love to come back!
