"We had a fantastic stay and would definitely recommend this hotel. What really makes it special is the warm, friendly atmosphere. The staff are genuinely lovely and welcoming throughout every area of the hotel, and the service we received was excellent.
From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel incredibly welcome. Even the resident dog in reception adds to the character and charm of the place! 🐶❤️
If you’re looking for a hotel where you can relax, feel comfortable and genuinely feel at home, this is definitely one to consider. I think it would suit families, couples of all ages and groups looking for a friendly, relaxed atmosphere.
🏨 The hotel & atmosphere
The hotel is quite dated in places, so if you’re looking for something ultra-modern and chic, this probably isn’t the hotel for you. However, it is exceptionally clean, and personally I think the welcoming atmosphere more than makes up for the lack of modern styling.
There’s a lovely, relaxed feel throughout the hotel, and it never felt pretentious or overly formal.
👏 The staff
The staff are honestly one of the biggest highlights.
Everyone we came across — reception, restaurant staff, bar staff and housekeeping — was friendly, helpful and attentive. Nothing seemed too much trouble, and we were consistently made to feel welcome.
It’s clear that the staff work incredibly hard, particularly when the hotel is busy, and their efforts really do make a difference to the overall experience.
🍽️ Food & drinks
Overall, the food was good, with a decent variety of options.
Breakfast was particularly good, while lunch was a little less impressive. There is, however, the poolside snack bar, which gives you another option during the day. Dinner was enjoyable, with a good choice of dishes.
The one disappointment for us was the Aegean Breeze restaurant. We had the mixed grill, which unfortunately was very disappointing, and it’s probably not something we would choose again.
The location of the restaurant is also quite close to the entertainment area, which means it doesn’t really have the intimate atmosphere you might expect from a separate restaurant.
The drinks were fairly standard for an all-inclusive hotel and were what we would expect.
🎤 Entertainment
We didn’t watch much of the entertainment, so I can’t give a particularly detailed opinion. From what we did see, it appeared to be more focused towards children and families rather than adults.
Aqua aerobics is fab!!
🏊♀️ Pools
The pools were fantastic.
The children’s pool area in particular is brilliant and I would highly recommend this hotel to families with young children. There is plenty to keep them entertained, and the pool facilities are a real highlight.
💡 A few suggestions
Although we really enjoyed our stay, I do think there are a few relatively simple improvements that could make the hotel even better:
1. Poolside drinks stations
The drinks stations around the pool are a great idea. I think adding a liquid waste bin, along with clearly separated food waste, recycling and general rubbish bins — preferably with lids — would make them even better. This would help keep the area cleaner and reduce flies, while also making things easier for the hardworking staff when the hotel is busy.
2. More water refill stations
There are already a couple around the pool, which is great. Adding one near reception and perhaps on each floor would be really useful, particularly for guests wanting to refill bottles throughout the day.
3. More choice in the grab-and-go fridge
The grab-and-go fridge in the snack bar is a brilliant idea. I think it could be improved further with a wider selection of sandwiches, children’s yoghurts and perhaps smoothies.
4. Self-service drinks dispensers
During the busier summer months, I imagine the queues at the bar can become quite long. Additional self-service drinks dispensers, similar to the iced tea dispenser already available in reception, could help enormously. Fruit juices and fizzy drinks would be ideal.
5. More announcements for activities
I think activities could attract even more guests if they were promoted around the pool shortly before they start. Having someone walk around the pool approximately 10 minutes beforehand to let guests know what is about to begin could make a big difference.
6. Self-service taxi booking
A self-service taxi booking screen could also be useful. As taxis are already booked through a booking system, giving guests the option to arrange their own taxi could help reduce pressure on reception, particularly at busy times.
7. Luggage store.
Should be lockable and more secure. Currently anyone can go in and it is not visible from reception staff.
❤️ Overall
We genuinely loved our stay.
This hotel may not be the most modern or luxurious, but what it does have is something that can be much harder to achieve — a genuinely warm, friendly and welcoming atmosphere.
The staff are fantastic, the pools are great, the hotel is exceptionally clean and there is a lovely feeling of being made to feel at home.
With a few relatively small improvements, I think this hotel could be even better.
We would happily return and would definitely recommend it — especially to families, couples and anyone looking for a relaxed hotel with fantastic staff and a real home-from-home feel. ❤️"
